good good good. do continue sir ... quite indeed.
Heartache? How ominous.
I'm pleasantly surprised.
And in the same time, prepared to the metaphorical shit hitting the fans.
Oh, I am already feeling down a bit for knowing the things that might happen!...
Knowing how my predictions used to turn out correct... I have a real reason to be affraid of these thoughts.
Oh well.

Well that escalated quickly.
And then deescalated just as quickly.
And it was hilarious.
Unfortunately, knowing people like them, once they've had the time to calm down, being confronted by the avatar of death will do little but confirm their beliefs.
Niece, I know you said that you be fleshing out the dark tag some more but don't worry you wont be losing me. I am too intrigued by the story to stop. But will there be more form Rook Wood's parents? By the way good names Raven Wood and Ice Bane.
Well god luck
"And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him." That's about the best line I could think of when I read how Rookwood ended the meeting with his parents. This story has risen quite a bit in my eyes. I started reading it as pure curiosity, but now I've found that I'm enjoying every chapter. I see this become such an interesting and wonderful story. I really do. However, I feel it would be wrong of me not do a little viewing of it through a few theoretical lenses. So, fasten your seat belts and lets crank this beast open.
Lens 1: Psychoanalytical: It seems that throughout the story Luna has become more and more infatuated with Rookwood. This infatuation is most likely do to the fact that she has never really known what it is like to be loved. Add to the fact that he is a teenager she feels safer with him. She is able to assert a certain level of control in their relationship. This gives her the power she hasn't had when in her previous marriages. The fact that she has become pregnant, something she shouldn't have been able to do, also leads to the idea that this pregnancy is similar to getting to have her childhood over again. She will get to raise her son, or daughter, and do everything differently, in her mind, than her parents or Celestia did for her. Her healthy addiction to sex isn't really that strange, biologically speaking, but it does seem that while she is doing so, more toward the last two chapters, out of love it's still about control.
Lens 2: Post Modern: Over her time both before Nightmare Moon, and present, Luna has watched how the reactions of those she watches over are toward each other and their relationships. She's seen how their controlling nature is often rewarded, and she realizes that while she doesn't completely agree with all of it that it's necessary to become just as controlling in her relationship. She feels that Rookwood would become a monster, like her former husband, if he was allowed to assume control. This of course leads to the possibility that she could become just as much of a monster.
Lens 3: Feminism: Luna wishes to share the control she has with Rookwood. Not because she wants to give up her control, but because she wants to have an equal partner. Still, her past experiences have jaded her making her feel as if giving him too much control, too much say may lead to him becoming something he would despise. She gives him love, her body, her soul, and asks for the same back. He gives it, and his drive is to protect her. While she is quite capable of protecting herself she sees the need he has to be a protector and helps guide him to becoming a stronger unicorn and magic user.
Of course I could go on, and Later I might. That said, I felt this song fit the dinner scene if nothing else. Enjoy, and thanks for updating and making a story that I absolutely love.

Excellent post. And yes, control is a central theme.
Nightmare Moon is about to assert some real control. Just sayin. Not a spoiler, it is kinda obvious.
Ah sometimes the cheesiest lines are the best anyway good chapter as always can't wait for the next installment

Aww shucks... Thanks for that. I had a feeling that Nightmare Moon was going to make move, and make it soon. It's been sitting there in my mind for a while. She's tried torturing him, seducing him, and I wouldn't be surprised if she took it to the next level and just took him. That's part of the reasons I haven't really read any of the comments until I finished the last chapter, and made my own comment. I didn't want anything that had been said before to influence what I thought about the story.
I'm glad that I did that. It's made it far more enjoyable. I believe the best way to sum up how I'm seeing Nightmare Moon in this is to quote a character from another wonderful piece of literature, well, movie actually, but it fits so well...
Pinhead: Human dreams... such fertile ground for the seeds of torment. You're so ripe Joey, and it's harvest time.
Joey: [crying] But this isn't fair! You can't!
Pinhead: Save your tears. I'll reap your sorrow slowly. I have centuries to discover the things that make you whimper.
Joey: You bastard! You invaded my mind!
Pinhead: You think your nighttime world is closed to me? Your mind is so naked. A book that yearns to be read. A door that begs to be opened.
And the thing is I could actually see her saying that to Rookwood. Even flaunting it before Luna and Celestia. Allowing them both to see the torment she was going to thrust upon him. She is so deliciously evil and twisted. It's like she is the Epitome of a femme fatale.

The blog post I made about this story talks about my dilemma about how dark to go. I am planning on plunging into the abyss.
Pinhead would totally sprout a boner if he knew what I was planning.

Rookwood has earned ability: Deaths Visage
Luna has gained passive ability: Urge
Celestia learned: Respect
I thought the parents might have been a recurring antagonistic force, but it seems they’ve been banished from the city. Even the guy who knocked up Celestia’s sister didn’t get run out of town. Sheesh.
