After a thousand years of exile, Princess Luna settles in for what she hopes will be the first of many peaceful nights after an eon of mental “self” torture. Though pleasant dreams evade her, it is not her own screams of terror that torment her.
This is a story that is strongly influenced by my headcanon about Luna’s dream-walking ability as well as other bits of my headcanon. Not the least of which being my headcanon as to why Luna’s appearance changes from season one to season two. Yes I realize it was an animation decision, but I’m still allowed to have headcanon on the subject.
Okay it is now the part of the show where we give shout outs.
One, to my wonderful editor/proofreader/person who promised to not make fun of me and ended up telling the truth... Twi-Fi. Follow that link and you will find some fun stories.
Two, the vectors used in the cover art.
The Nightmare Moon... moon is from HERE
Um... Season Two and beyond Luna was found HERE
And the Season one Luna is right over... HERE
Oh. My. Wonderful! This was a fabulous and heartwarming story, and I'm very glad I decided to read it. There were almost no errors here, and it flowed well, too. The way you described the Dreamscape initially, with the weeping and the infinite twilight…it was absolutely spot on, my friend. My version of the Dreamscape is much more chaotic though, I must say
and I simply love this version as well! Please, accept my humble like and favorite…and watch, too

I'm not much of one for constructive comments, so I hope this will do:
Okay, this was beautiful.
My headcanon now has this as something of a prequel for this story.
Anyway, thanks for writing!
Oh, and have a fave, thumb, 'stache, and possibly another follower...

4716954 Time traveler? Me? Um... yes... yes I am. Always traveling forward in time at a near constant rate.

4717839 Thank you and thanks again for the assistance.
Have you ever considered submitting this story to Equestria Daily? You can find out how to do so here.
4719680 I actually hadn't considered it until just now... after reading your comment... I think I will. It might be fun.
Sent Error fixes to you via PM.
OMC! This was quite an adorable story.
You have quite a few touching scenes. Like Luna finally getting Sarsaparilla to go to her mother to admit the truth, her confrontation with the Nightmare, and the soliloquy Celestia gave asking Luna's forgiveness. All in all this was a cute fic. It'll be a while, but I'll definitely be looking at your other fics ^_^.
6409482 Yay! I'm glad you liked it, this one was so much fun to write and share with everyone who has read it so far, even my one down voter. also thanks for the PM fixes.
