The Night's Stars Chapter 43 Preview/Teaser · 8:28pm Feb 25th, 2021
The tentative release date for The Night’s Stars chapter 43, “Open” is in one week, on 3/4/21, at ~5 P.M. E.S.T.
This is it. Two years. Two years of waiting, preparations, and expectations have lead to this chapter.
When I set out to write The Night’s Stars, I had something in mind.
Can you guess?
'What if other ponies are hurt? What if Nightmare Moon is right and Queen Chrysalis comes back to attack again, and what if next time we can't stop them? What if Nightmare Moon loses and the changelings take over Canterlot? They would take over Equestria and–!'
"Twilight," came Cadance's soft voice.
So she gradually nodded, feeling the anxiety rising up worse than before, making her doubt herself even more. "If you truly feel uncomfortable taking my bed, then I have a counterproposal." She finished by inclining her head.
A moment passed before Twilight turned back to face her. "And that would be?"
The anxiety tickling her stomach grew worse; it was an unfamiliar feeling that Nightmare did not like. "Stay here with me tonight." She nodded once. "The bed is surely big enough for both of us."
And yet Twilight didn't relax. "You teleported away."
And it didn't sit right with her. "Come here," she softly called. Twilight's head tilted to look back at her, but the filly hesitated in her confusion. So Nightmare took initiative, scooted closer, then laid her foreleg over Twilight's side–the filly's muscles felt tense–and pulled her close. She slid her wing out and brushed it over Twilight's side, yearning to feel a wing where there was none, and pulled the filly close against her body, holding her tight.
And so the worst part came, and Nightmare whole body tingled. Did she dare admit it? Could she say it? "Because I like you," she specified. And it made her squirm and tighten her wings. "More than I should."
There really isn’t enough good Twimoon art.
This chapter has been written for over a year at this point. And with this chapter, well, something begins properly, even though one could argue it started a long time ago. It agitates me slightly it took this long for the main purpose of this story to start, but hey, had to get Moon and Twi comfortable with each other, and make them proper friends (which is why one could argue their dating started a while ago) in preparation for this. The following two chapters are pretty nice too.
But, ah, we’ll get to those chapters later. For now, thoughts and comments?
Niiice...
Is this what we've been waiting for? oh stars I'm excited
It’s happening and I couldn’t be more excited.
