More than a week has passed since the Summer Sun Celebration and Luna's return, and Princess Mi Amore Cadenza (a.k.a. Cadance) finally arrives in Canterlot after being recalled from a field tour. Princess Luna soon reacts badly to the existence of a third alicorn princess, threatening several relationships and giving an "enemy within" opportunity to attack. In the resulting tempest of alicorn passions and conspiratorial schemes, all Equestria is placed in peril. Now several of our heroes, lead primarily by Lieutenant Captain Shining Armor, must reconcile the alicorns and defeat the conspiracy in order to save Equestria!

Many thanks to GigaClon for being an awesome beta.

Pony by day, bat by night. That was the promise Cale made with Fluttershy after a misunderstanding between Toby, Lightning Dust, and Flutterbat. But on Nightmare Night, something happens to Flutterbat. And that something could possibly break the promise. Will Toby still be unaware that Flutterbat and his mom are the same? Or will he find out tonight that they are two completely different mares?

The night sky was not always as bright. Long ago it was as black and cold as death, and the goddess who ruled it was a creature of vengeance and destruction. But one unlikely unicorn from a small town changes everything. What happens when a dark queen falls in love, and a caring stallion melts her heart of stone?

This story is a (more or less) canon-compatible history of Luna's childhood, early life, and origin of Nightmare Moon.

Each chapter, except for the prologue, uses a different music piece as its inspiration/soundtrack.
