Update: Second chapter will be updated before more chapters are posted. Additionally, I am not writing right now, but there will be more.
Luna, princess of the moon,the night, and the stars, has always been sad about the disrespect from her own ponies that were supposed to follow her as equally as they did with her older sister, princess of the sun and the day.
She just never expected to be sent to the moon, to only talk to one pony- herself. More specificlly, Nightmare Moon. In a tough battle of emotions, she learns to calm down a bit more, and hide her tears, for when all were to someday be gathered near, in the future that is yet to come.
Loosely based on the fan-made song Lullaby for a Princess. An attempted all on my own (with slight help) story. I am going to change the name once I think of a new one!
A big thank you to my editor, My Little Epona!

This is really good!
The Luna fanfics are kind of annoying. In the words of Daybreaker, "We get it, you’re sad".

Thank you!
10081427
I was trying to do something for fun in my comfort zone. It was from her perspective.
I like what your going with so far. though a lot of Luna fanfics tend to be sad, i still like what your going with. i hope you keep going with this.
10081427
I don't think the concept is bad, per say, but it's been kind of done to death by now. I love Luna (she's actually my favorite character in the whole show), but it'd be nice to see a story that tries something new with the character.
10081448
Thank you! I will!
10081458
Also, this chapter was basically a long proluge. The other chapters will be like that.
What a great start! Also, great choice for a cliffhanger! I'll be tracking this bad boy! Love it so far.
10081499
Thank you very much!
10081517
You're very welcome!
10081527
Also, do you have any ideas for what should happen next? I'm still trying to think of that myself.
Apparently no longer trying, but writing.
10081534
Oh, thank you for reminding me!
10081533
Hmmm....none that I can think of at the moment. If I think of something, I'll DM you.
10081549
Thank you! I assume you mean PM!
10081533
(please forgive me if im butting in here-)
Maybe you should go on to her time on the moon; with that cliffhanger, it'd make for a great transition! How at first she was bitter and angry, which slowly ebbed away as she realized how horrible she had been being. And then, if you wanted, you could go on to her return to Equestria, but from her perspective; how she feels she can never escape her past, how awkward she feels about other ponies, and her relationship with Celestia.
(Sorry for the lengthy comment; but I hope it helps in any way!!)
10081576
No, you're fine. Thank you for the ideas!
10081570
DM just means direct message. Same thing basically.
10081596
Oh, okay. I'm just used to Personal Message. I'm okay with both.
This reminds me of me against the world by simple plan.
10082308
Thank you. I shall listen to it sometime.
10082339
No problem
10081444 You're very welcome! ^^
10083135
I am currently 181 words into the second chapter!
10083148 Awesome! Can't wait!
10083164
I'm glad you're so excited.
10083166
This is so beautiful! I love it!
10083177
Thank you very much! I am currently working on the second chapter.

Is this your first story?
Ok so I finally got around to reading it
The plot is a bit generic, covering the reasons why Luna turned into Nightmare Moon. The execution is not bad, though I would say the language is a bit basic. It’s nothing to be ashamed of however. It’s a good read, and so I’ve given the 20th like.
10092833
Yes. Yes it is.
10095578
Thank you.
10096513
Back to the old PFP I see
10096571
Yeah. I will change it occasionally, but have this one be my mane.
10096904
I will.
10096958
Thank you! there is going to be more! But first, a short story to unwind.
Here's some advice from a future bestselling author: plan it out first. Then, fill in the blank parts with normal conversations, actions, etc. That's what I'm doing with my story.
10114257
Okay, thank you. I hope to read the story that you write in the end.
10115353
It'll take a while just to get started...lol
10115370
Okay. There is more in my story to come.
When can we expect the next chapter?
10119452
Within the week. I have contacted my editor.
10119452
Or not, but it's ready now anyways.
A little on the short side, but well written nevertheless. Good job!

Thank you! How was it short, exactly? It was such a long wait that I had to just push this out without much more thought. But it is all edited, to not be rough draft quality.
10158921
I was expecting it to be at least 1000 words tbh but this is ok
10159007
Sorry. I might update that one sometime. Long chapters isn't really my strong suit. (PM for details)
