Picked this up from DA and was reading it on my phone on the way to work. I'm liking this take on Nightmare's return. Why is everything you write so engaging?

Awesome! I loved it! Now, MOAR!

Hah! This time, Dash would have been right, she was a spy!

hehehe eww.

One of the things I never got was the total lack of common sense on behalf of Nightmare Moon.

She wants ponies to love her night. Fair enough. But without sun there are no plants and the planet starts to freeze over. Sooner or later, everypony will be dead and then no one would be able to enjoy her night on account of being corpses.

What is her long term plan for this?

373684 In most fics she deals with it by having two types of moon: a bright one that serves as a sun and a pale one.

I LIKE! I love twiluna, but this is an interesting take on it that I'm not sure I've seen before.

Evil Twilight is funny. "I'll kill them!"

Now if only you had an evil Fluttershy and Pinkie, but NOT Cupcake's Pinkamena Psycho pie. Shes too scary Then I'd be set. Who dosn't love Pinkie and Fluttershy? I don't like fics that are mean to them....

But, Technically, as was pointed out, Dash would be right, she IS a spy!

Did we even see rarity? I don't remember...

Dammit, Wanderer!!! Y U SO GOOD??? NEVER STOP, DAMMIT!!!

Damn you Wanderer D, damn yoooooou! i have to track this one as well. Stop writing so well! No wait scratch that, continue, I will endure this dreadful disease of to many good stories. But please update the Empty room or Sweetie Chronicles, I love those stories as well!

Hey Wanderer? I've finished reading it and I'm torn. I want to add this to my group "The Hero... Nightmare Moon?" but how you set her up still has her in an negetive light.

As the author, and after checking out some of the stories in the group (if you want to), do you think this should be put in there?

and then things got cloppy

Awesome story, I'm loving it right now

Actually the ship is called MoonLight, not TwiLuna.

I'm enjoying this story, I find it unlike other moonlight shipping stories for once, this one has a sort of.. tang to it that makes to addicting, I like it.

I like this. Can't wait for the next part.

More please! and soon!

And this is why best ship. You must give us part 2. You must. YOU MUST!

And why is there no yelling rarity icon? Thank the gods there a better name for this ship than twiluna though.

Wow... This story had me hooked from the first paragraph. And that cliff hanger ending...

I keep having this thought play through my head that Spike ends up being the Element of Magic instead of Twilight and the group blasts both of them... but I don't see that happening. Evil confident Twilight is... very intriguing. She is also extremely competent and capable.

Wanderer D, as always your work is fantastic! Looking forward with much anticipation for part 2!

Dude, how are you so good at writing again I say you are a literary genius. Every thing you write is so engaging and leaves wanting more.

Twiluna? hell yeah!
You can bet your ass I am tracking this. And not only because it is written by you :D

Edit #1:
Somepony was rematching the first episodes, weren't they? Can't blame ya, though. They are pretty amazing.

Edit #2
You have been reading Four of Two, haven't you?! I totally see a kind of inspiration of the like in this story.
Having finally finishing it. The story was good and I cannot wait for the next part.

why am i getting a very "that fatefull night" vibe from this? I mean it's a great fic and if you can come close to or even surpass it thats great...
anywho, still can't truthfully decide, is NMM really in love or being a cougar?

You are a genius! Moar please!!

374373

Well, now I just feel dumb...
I've seen it be called many things, but mostly twiluna, but Moonlight does sound so much better

Dayum Luna, that is LOW.

Something tells me ol' Nightmare might have a change of heart, since she doesn't have to actually fake some of those feelings.

i have only one thing to say img.ponibooru.org/_images/ec8f33200d10f5cc464bfee7d341fad0/100767%20-%20artist%3Amegasweet%20celestia%20i_came%20Molestia.png yup she came.
now lets see how twilight deals with the elements of harmony.

377799 Luna saw, and she Conquered.

Luna's a Dominatrix, oh yes she is~~!

kk, next chapter: The Harmonious Orgy!

Woooo!

First off, really liked the story another quality piece of work from you. My one criticism is that Twilight seems a touch evil for her situation. Yes, she's taken NMM as a friend, confidant and lover but she still has grown up with Celestia and the prevailing mores of Equestria; thus I have a hard time believing she's been so changed to actively wish death upon other ponies.

For this last bit I could be way off base, but upon some reflection, I couldn't help but feel "What Could Have Been" by Dragryphon had some parallels/influence on this story.

378562 I wouldn't worry, she's pissed off, not homicidal. Hell, imagine you've been waiting to spend a night with your beloved and then your mom knocks on the door It's an expression of frustration.

And... well, I had started this story waaay before 'What Could have Been' hit the internet, although working with Dragryphon in various projects did bring it back to my attention several times, until I actually just sat down and finished the first part once and for all

377131 I've never read it, do you recommend it?

377063 Four of Two?

374207 Hey, I like this group of yours, let me read around first

374415 Nothing is ever black and white

378836
It's another fic on here that seemed very familiar to this one.

379083

Uh, what? Four of Two is a romatic comedy (+ clop) that pairs Twilight with Celestia and Fluttershy with Luna.

I see no relation between the two worth commenting on.

379137
I was talking style wise not exactly content wise. Maybe it was just me, I am a bit nuts after all.

378836

it's a good enough story, basically Moon defeats the elements and take Twilight as a pet/maid/slave type thing... i can't think of the correct word here. And then amidst a bunch of bad things shipping happens.

If your'e into shipping with MoonLight it's fine, if not then whatevs.

373760 What would be awesome is if Moon turned Rainbow Dash to the dark side. She would be Captain Dash, Shadow Bolt! I would love to see wanderer's take on an evil mane six.

i WondereD how long till update then realized that pony will get around to it eventually hopefully when he next updates not only update this story but also finish "the empty room" i've been waiting ages for that one to update. lol

I enjoyed this, but I feel you could have spent more time developing Twilight and Nightmare Moon's relationship in the dream world. I would have like to have seen some of those training sessions, maybe even seen the moment of realization on Twilight's part from her perspective. I think it would have added a lot of depth to the relationship and made it less hallow.

Uh. Guh. Buh. Duh. Wow. Yeah, sleep deprivation mixing with awe. Brain dead. Wow.

Ahem. Articulation and cognitive function failed me. Amazingly done. I do hope there will be more, because it's brilliant.

Wunderbar. It's not often I see a story where the pairing is actually Nightmare Moon and Twilight. TwiLuna yes, but rarely the alter ego. Also, MoonLight is one of the best shipping names I've seen, right next to Twinkie and Discopie.

so awesome, i love this twilight! looking forward to the next chapter

I just love strong ,confident and bold twi more then any other.
I like the change of pace from other moonlights were the elements fail and twi is captured
and instead chose to join moon of here acord.

And this is the face I see when she says I’ll kill them!

I like the concept, but it would better if she were less of a bitch towards Spike. Also, the "flirting" is unnecessary and takes away from her character. If she's in love with Nightmare Moon, then what's she doing flirting with random guys? It's still Twilight, even if she's twisted.

378836 So? Should it be added or not?

416925 Well, in this story NMM is not a good pony... that's the only thing. So it might not be a good fit for the group...

416946 Very well.

Awsome story though!

...So many smiling ponies...

MUST HAZ NEW CHAPTERZ!!! (Inhales from bong) I'm smokey the bear.

I keep coming back to reread this one... can't wait to see what cums next when everyone else shows up! And awesome job on writing this story!

Love this story. Can't wait for part two and the rest of the mane six's reaction to twilight being on nightmare moons side.

This is such a great story, it's the one I always check first for an update when I open my browser. Seriously, I have 29 other FiMFiction tabs for the stories I'm currently reading (on this site), but this one always draws my attention first. The Empty Room has gone without a chapter for so long that it's background noise in my head by now: it's always there, but I can ignore it until the wondrous day when the newest chapter is finished. Sweetie Chronicles I just started reading today and am now up to date, so I've yet to feel the sting on that one. This story, on the other hand, is drilling a hole in my brain.

The worst part is not even seeing a progress percentage for this story on your bio, that just makes me sad. Though I see great strides being made on your bigger projects, so I guess you won't be touching this until those are finished... and that just pulls me in opposite directions emotionally, so I'll just say keep writing, because you're doing an awesome job

(And no, I don't have an Evil Twilight fetish, why would you even think that? )

Damn, sick burn on Celestia, Nightmare! I mean seriously, banging her student right in front of her. That is so... Artistically dickish.
