Are there any stories that depict Luna as still evil after S1E1? Either doing something genuinely heinous in the story (whether the author intended it or not) or turning into Nightmare Moon again? There are numerous stories that handle the idea of Celestia being a tyrant in the present or the past, but I've only stumbled across a few (like The Code's Apprentice and The Devil's Trick) that feature an evil Luna. I'm curious to see how this idea is executed, the directions it's taken, and if they differ from stories where Celestia is the evil sister.

Also, not sure if any admin noticed this -- the picture at the center of the group doesn't load. It's a broken image. Someone should fix that.

How is she evil in that story? (I'm not one to read incest porn so I'm gonna pass on that as a recommendation)

A once and future darkness by Cold in Gardez??? I'm unsure. I don't remember at all. Time to reread.

Celestia trying to kill all life on Equestria, kind of evil.

I might launch a long story later this month where she would be sufficiently evil/nightmaremoonish. Want to get it online close to Halloween

7888538
I remember that one. It's really wonderfully told.
7888539
Wait, is it Celestia or Luna who tries to do that? What on earth?
7888541
Can you think of any stories that are currently on the site now?

7888546
Nope!


Oh wait, here's the one. But if you seek it for reference/inspiration, and I assume you do, it hardly checks out.

ELuna’s Time Travel Twist.
Nightmare Moon gets an unexpected visitor during her final battle with Celestia. She meets herself.

I might look into it later more, will hit you up if find something relevant.

Here, I do remember a more serious one. Nightmare Moon/evil Luna isn't the main focus of the narrative, but she certainly exists here.
Also it is a great fic.

Turn out when Celestia can't have her way, noone can...

7888548
I helped edit that! It's a wonderful story!
7888552
So, is Celestia or Luna the evil character...? I'm confused.

In Long Live Twilight Sparkle she becomes Nightmare Moon along with Celestia becoming Daybreaker after Princess Dark Matter blows a mist at them that forces them to become their dark sides, while in The Inconnvenient Truth she does become Nightmare Moon, but there is no explanation to how that happened.

7888513
Does The Night’s Stars count? It’s a basically Nightmare Moon comes back and the Element Bearers fail to stop her so she takes over.

A few of mine might qualify, but not in a straightforward way:

Obsession
Your Waifu Doing Hurtful Things to You
Ode to a Sign
Forever
Cozy Glow Plays Tiddlywinks with Her Father

Some of these you appear to have read.

How does that fit the thread topic?
7888579
Could you link them?
7888622
Yep, I’ve read most, if not, all of those.

7888602
That should have an AU tag. Also, I guess it would count?

One of my favorites. Whether or not Luna is evil is sort of up to your own view, however she’s definitely not good.

7888629
Oh hey, that’s on my read it later! 👀

7888632
Definitely worth it.
I probably shill this fic a bit too much but it’s one of those few which I’ve enjoyed throughout it’s entirety.

7888627
Celestia thinks Luna evil for stealing her seed dady?

7888769
I’m sorry that’s not very coherent.

I try not to spoiler everything :duck:

In Luna Comes Clean, she doesn't actually become Nightmare Moon, but does spend some time explaining to Megan about why she becomes that form while in The Last Gala, she mentions to Neighsay that she should be doing time for what everything she did as that form.

Well that makes my day :twilightsmile:

7888513
I'm also looking for exactly these types of stories! in the code's apprentice how is Luna evil? I haven't read it yet :)

Here are three that I've read: In The End, , An Oral History of the Rise of the New Lunar Republic , Letters From War: the Complete History of the War for Solar Resurgence)

Well... I suppose mine count. Although the plot is more complicated than Luna being evil. Essentially Luna and NMM are two entirely different ponies(?) stuck inside a single body and they agree to share it. Which leads to NMM convincing Luna to go against Celestia all over again, except this time NMM wins.
Luna is morally good, but has very low self-esteem; NMM on the other hand is extremely confident and capable, but her idea of ruling a nation is medieval due to being stuck on the moon for a 1000 years.
Neither of them is outright evil in absolute terms, but NMM does a lot of evil for what she sees as the proper way of things and Luna enabled her to do that by letting her take over their body. Not entirely what you asked for, but folks been saying it's pretty good, so yeah.

Unfortunately, that is always the case for Luna. As long as she continues to have such negative emotions, Nightmare Moon will always exist. Since MLP is known for not giving backstories, I was under the impression that her dark side was kept a secret ever since she returned and probably for her sake. Something tells me that it wouldn't resonate well with the rest of the ponies if they knew, and they would even question Celestia to why she even lets Luna still sit beside her on the throne despite almost wanting to kill her. Believing that is what got me do that fanfic known as Luna Comes Clean, and you can picture her talking to Megan in a sad voice in the second chapter especially when she has to tell her what it was like to be in that form, though Megan feels that Luna living with the secret most likely hurts her in the long run rather than help her.

I do not think this is the proper place to argue the metaphysical nature of Nightmare Moon, regardless of whether you are correct or not.
