History is written by the victor. Nightmare Moon was the Bringer of Eternal Night, the Dark Side of the Moon, and many other grand and fear inspiring names to scare children. But that was because she was beaten.
Dusty Tomes, a historian and archaeologist at the Trottingham Museum of Equestrian History, explores a tomb said to have been dated to Pre-Banishment Era. What he finds, proves that. However, it also disproves much of what he grew up to believe in.

awesome, love a good Nightmare moon story!
I do accept most forms of bribery if you would like me to "suggest" ideas for this fic to the author.
Unless it involves cats.
4648473 Send him stuff covered in catnip and then a box of kittens:3
heheh, funny, like a g-rated Indiana Jones meets I Dream Of Jeannie, are they gonna fall in love in then end? Would be kind of cute if they did, they do make a sweet couple, albeit kind of mismatched....
I never I have seem this use for nightmare in a fimfic.For some reason I love this
Also I can;t help thinking of the show, I Dream of Genie and from what i learn from Once Upon a Time is that magic always come with a price. So I going to keep my on Nightmare Moon the Genie.
Honestly, I'll likely skip over any 'clop' in this story. I just like well-written romance.
Really enjoying this i wonder what's next
This is an interesting concept, and has some clever ideas, but right now the idiot protagonist is a little off putting. If you can wish for anything in the world and you ask for an apple, then I think even AJ would think that a little dim.
There is no point in giving him the powers of a minor god if he is never going to notice or use them. 
The caustic and rather ugly way he's treating Nightmare is a bigger cause for concern. I would really like to see him get around to asking if there is anything SHE would like to wish for, sooner rather than later. I know it's traditional to treat magical girlfriends like horse apples for the first few days/episodes , because their new boyfriends tend to have horse apples for brains, but from the outside it's really tiresome.
Currently undecided if thumb up or thumb down...
4709533 I have reasons that shall be explained. For now, he was simply hungry after fainting for some odd hours. Also, his current behavior to NMM (and for just the apple) is because he just found a national enemy who wants to grant wishes. Who wouldn't be suspicious? I don't see how he is being caustic though. Hopefully my next chapter will make you keep reading.
I regret that I have but one like and fave to give. I'll be watching for updates!
you lost me with the geneie bit.
Oh, well this tickles my fancy quite so!
5171726 why? Was it not believable?
Dusty,you idiot,that is the first thing you should never do when you have something like that.
The most fitting sentence one can use, when confronted by the fact that you're probably, possibly screwed.
5172417
You should turn the everyone tag into a mature tag so that Dusty Tomes asks Nightmare Moon to have sex with him *Drools at the thought*
5434787 ehh, sorry, but i don't intend this story to have such a scene. the closest it would get is maybe questionable cuddling.
5437536 Dang
updates?
7245719 likely not for a while. This fic has potential, which is probably the only reason i haven't axed it yet. unfortunately, i have bigger projects in the works
7246849
Okay
Something's going to go hilariously, horribly wrong. I just know it.
Fun story, if you ever write more of it, I'll read it.
