    It's been a few weeks since Luna's returned from the moon, and all is not well.  She's become more introverted than ever, rarely leaving her room and obsessing over work.  Celestia hopes that studying Twilight Sparkle's Friendship Reports will at least help her get out of her shell, though an unusually talkative servant may just help in that regard...and is anypony else getting strange feelings from that statue out in the gardens?

    As of May 4th, now featured on Equestria Daily.  *Squee*

    I love Celestia's revenge prank! It's perfect.

    Also, Luna! Yay! Luna stories are awesome.

    Seeing as everyone assigns so much godlike power to the Sisters, why do so few writers consider the possibility of a pony afterlife... and that maybe Celestia and Luna are at least aware of it?

    I don't know what I would do if  :pinkiehappy: was staring at me as I woke up one day. I've been enjoying it so far, and Luna stories are always fun. I little quickly paced, but still fun. I wonder how Discord is going to play into this.

    It is in fact something I've actually considered.  However, even beyond the usual dramatic reasons of dealing with the Immortal's Curse (something I wasn't planning on putting in this story at all, really--and even though I added it in its far from the main point of the thing), their godlike status and abilities seem to be rather...specialized.  Much like many other multi-god pantheons.  Celestia controls the Sun and the Day, Luna the Moon and the Night.  The two jobs are similar enough that one can do both, but I would imagine that Celestia wouldn't be as naturally good with the night sky as Luna and vice versa.  That, coupled with presumably powerful magic for more common uses, would be the extent of their powers.  My Luna, for example, is not a dream weaver as is popular in fan fiction.  Is there a pony afterlife?  I would assume so, actually.  Is it ruled over by some Alicorn God of Death?  Possibly--that'd make an interesting story, actually.  But that isn't within the realm of Celestia's and Luna's capabilities, and I actually figure they've never heard of or met him themselves.  Or something like that.

    So, short answer, it's not that I haven't considered it.  I just chose not to go that direction :pinkiehappy:

    EqD brought me here, and I must say, this is a wonderful story. Beneath all those BAM - Luna crashes them all or Action Pew Luna is so cool - stories, this is something, which really gave me some feels. No special things about princesses, who are almighty and gettin' things done, like other stories so far, this is a story about Luna brought back to her life as a princess, her fear after being gone for 1000 years and everyone knowing her just as "Nightmare Moon", so one can imagine, just how hard it must be for her being accepted now. And this is written just in the right way. I like how things are used, which were mentioned in the show, connected with fics. And it just fits. There were feelings, i had to laugh quite hard often and who dislikes a story about Luna finding a friend beneath her sister. They always seem to be just them two. Makes me feel they're so alone. But back to this. It's a calm story, no action and so on, really funny, awesome topic and all about my fav princess/pony Luna. So with this I just wanted to express my feelings towards your fic and I hope you will go on with it.

    hmm cliffhanger? not much we already know what happens to discord and since luna was not at all in that episode (much to my chagrin) the only logical conclusion is that she was somehow incapacitated by discord, now how he goes about doing that will be something to read, i think i know how i would do it but when i write i am incredibly dark so...

    I've seen a good explanation of this in another story. The name of it escapes me however. Something to do with twilight bringing Rainbow back from the dead.

    Anyway it was suggested that the afterlife was outside the sisters domain and was being handled by another godly figure. And that there were sever consequences if they did anything beyond so much of mentioning the arrangement.

    Let's hope that a certain non-immortal pony who had the gumption to dive through the portal after Luna is able to somehow survive on the moon's surface...or at least that Equestria's moon is somewhat habitable.  Otherwise, things could get ugly.  :twilightoops:

    To help assuage a few fears: don't worry, Luna's not gonna find a decompressed green corpse on the moon.  How mean do you think I am?  Considering that I'm writing a fic about magic talking ponies, I think it's not too much of a stretch to figure they can breathe up there.  That's not to say Sugar Heart is going to escape the next chapter entirely unscathed, but the things I subject her to will be within the same general ballpark as what could be expected from the Return of Harmony episode itself.

    It would make more sense to say that, as a living goddess of the moon, Luna can survive there, and can probably allow Sugar Heart so be okay there too.  Less of a stretch.
