Four days after the defeat of "Nightmare Moon" and Luna's arrival in Canterlot, freshly-promoted Lieutenant Captain Shining Armor starts his new role as the commanding officer of the nighttime "Luna Shift".
But there are enemies everywhere. The emotional and psychological demons that pulled Princess Luna into evil one thousand years ago threaten to do so again. The Canterlot elite show a surprising degree of apathy regarding Luna or her problems. And there is also a danger within the Royal Guard itself - mavericks that would gladly derail Luna's rehabilitation and ruin Shining Armor's reputation to satisfy their own selfish desires.
Lines will be drawn and sides will be taken as all those good and noble prepare to fight for the future of Princess Luna - a fight with significant consequences for the fate of Equestria!

GODDAMNIT CELESTIA. REALLY?!
I AGREE CELESTIA YOU CARE NOTHING ABOUT LUNA ALL YOU CARE ABOUT IS THE SPOTLIGHT THATS WHAT CAUSED LUNA TO BECOME NIGHTMARE MOON IN THE FIRST PLACE!
Good job Celestia.
Good job.
Well, that escalated quickly...
Ha, Celestia is NOT ALWAYS right.
Celestia isn't so stupid as you try to depict her in this fiction. There is no reason why would she force Luna to do something like this. She is director of school for gifted unicorns, she is teacher of magic and knows lot about magic so i doubt she would be so reckless and ignorant to needs of Luna. She has thousands years of experience. And i doubt that after thousand years of ruling she would have such problems with guards. You depict her here like an unexperienced ruler that is on throne for few yers. I doubt that such soldiers that have no respect for their rulers would even get a chance to be royal guard.
Celestia has behind her thousand years of ruling so you should write her like that.
Moaaarrrr..
Odd, I thought I faved this too...
More plz..
love it
Nice!
um you should remove the link it leads to nowhere all i see is: The page you were looking for doesn't exist.
other than that it is a really good chapter
for those who can't get to the page here is the LINK
And... Luna kisses Shining Armor. Oh the drama, the forbidden romance AND the Guilt trips!
Ship SA/PL already.
Anyway, nice start, romance prompt, then now comes the drama.
Normally, I don't get that much into "inbetweenquels" (stories showing what other characters were doing during the normal show timeline), but I must confess that "The Canterlot Chronicles" is really sucking me in. It also helps that these stories are elaborating about characters I actually like, like Shining Armor and Luna. Hell, you actually have made Fancypants a rather interesting character with this series. I hope you keep this up, because I'd like to see where this series is going.
4967867 I'm glad to hear you like these stories, but I'm curious about your comment regarding Fancypants. Could you elaborate on that? I don't necessarily consider him "uninteresting", just VERY underdeveloped IMO.
4972933 Actually, that is a better way of putting it: underdeveloped. It also doesn't help that he only had one major appearance in the show. Regardless, I feel you're giving him a good chunk of development, and I actually hope he'll come into play in later stories in "The Canterlot Chronicles".
um why does it say incomplete? but anyway good chapters
4987124 I didn't want to mark it as complete before the chapters actually showed up as part of the word count. I was going to change the status right now.
So Velvet was in the government, I wonder how high she got, (it's probably not like Canada, where 'Right Honourable' does tell you).
4843217 What he/she said.
Perhaps Discord's chaos magic was making it harder for Luna to move the moon than it shoul have been on top of the other things mentioned in this chapter.
Discord: I'm not telling and maybe I don't even know.
In Celestia's defense, she is also an emotionally compromised big sister who just wants everyone to love and cherish her returned sibling like she does.
She's gonna make some poor judgement calls despite her experience.
Luna Vs Mr. Coffee or Why the Ceiling Is Beige
IMO, Especially to Princess Luna
I'm loving the story but I don't understand why your making Celestia so distant. Her lack of care costed her Luna before you would think now she would be practically glued to her side and throwing anypony who even looked at her baby sister funny into the dugeon instead she just dumping it all on shining armor while doing nothing to help.
This was a great story, congratulations!
