On the longest day, of the thousandth year, the stars aided in her escape.

Then Nightmare Moon looked out upon the land that would soon be her empire, and found a world she no longer existed in. In a thousand years, she had been all but forgotten.
She could conquer, and continue to be hated. She could put aside her pride, and be redundant. Or, she could disappear, and fade into the glorious night.

AN: While Princess of Equestria takes place before this, neither are required reading for the other. Rather, they complement each other.

When Lord Tirek asks Cozy Glow what seems like a normal question, he has no idea the floodgates that will open... and how his relationship to the little villain might ultimately be changed.

A small bit of villainous sweetness inspired by both the dynamic of the Evil Trio and the cover art by soundwavepie.

Nightmare Moon, the embodiment of evil, has decided that she must target the hearts and minds of the ponies of Equestria to truly destroy Celestia and take her place. It turns out that creating a kingdom of debauchery and sin was a lot easier a thousand or so years ago.
Still, that won't stop her trying.

Celestia is still haunted by her own personal demon. Luckily for her, she isn't alone.

Her sister will always be there for her.

When Luna became Nightmare Moon, she was turned into an observer. She was forced to watch as her desires were corrupted and she was banished by her own sister. She stayed a 1000 years on the moon... and she counted every single day.

With each passing minute, there was only one thing she could do. With every second, there was only herself and the Nightmare entity on the moon. With every thought, she was alone to ask herself one question...

How many seconds... are in eternity?

Princess Luna arrived to me one night in my worst.

No matter what I told her, she would not leave.

Nightmare Moon visits Twilight in the night, and things get biblical.

Featured on Equestria Daily, 1 May 2012.

It was a fairly ordinary day in Perkinsville, New Jersey. Then again, most catastrophes start out like that.

Without warning, Nightmare Moon, freshly freed from her imprisonment in Equestria's moon, crash-lands in the middle of the town. Despite Perkinsville–and our entire world, for that matter–not being exactly what she had in mind for conquest, she figures it's better than nothing, and begins a one-mare campaign to bring the town–and soon all of Earth–to its knees in the face of an eternal night.

Who will win this confrontation? Nightmare Moon or the good (but extremely bewildered) people of Perkinsville?

(Rated T for some violence, particularly in the bonus chapter)

Luna takes her job very seriously. When she hears there's a human having difficulty sleeping, she decides to share a bed with him until he feels safe and happy again.

Celestia had decided to become better at acting. It was a skill that could become useful in the future, and also something she wanted to learn. So she found the most expensive, well-regarded, respected, praised and recommended instructor in all Equestria and arranged a private lesson with her.

She was rather surprised when she found out who her teacher was going to be, and so was her teacher when she found out she would be teaching to Celestia.

Things didn't exactly play out the way they'd planned after that.
