In a first, Daring Do has a tour guide for an ancient ruin. This may prove problematic.
Thanks to the Discord crews for brainstorming and FanOfMostEverything for the chapter title.

I like writing about the worst day of a character's life; it lets us see the mettle inside. (Pronouns: RB/20 )

Wait, people take Journal of the Two sisters for canon? It's so friggen vague!
Considering the direction that this story went, I think this fits perfectly xP
Luna and Daring Do?
You have my attention.
[One reading later...]
Okay so being frank, I really wasn't a fan of Daring's last episode and how it left her off...but that being said, this was pretty fun to see her and Luna together. Have an upvote.

To be fair, the entire show is a vague mess of incomplete stories & random retcons on a level I haven't seen since the X-Files. Hell, Luna's story was retconned twice in the show, and that's before you count the journal. Pretty much everything is fair game in fanon.
11337663
Check out the comments on my "Cozy Glow is Missing" story.
11337675
Indeed!
11337686
Thanks!

Twice? How so?
This is good. ¿What is the answer to everything? ¡Wow, 42 stories!
11337782
First, she went from being completely unknown before the first episode, to having a full long-running holiday after her. Then pretty much everything involving Nightmare Moon was dropped by the final season, which pretended that the fight never happened and they always ruled together. I don't think Nightmare Moon was even mentioned following A Royal Problem, iirc.
I wont lie this is not the ending i was expecting lol. I expected daring to find some locked chest or something and Luna warn her against opening it least she (daring) was willing to accept the consiquences. said consiquences turning out to be a chest Luna set up for a prank many many many years ago (and was surprised was still even theer and armed)
11337802
Yeah, Luna is essentially a different character in every episode that she appears in. She is to back stories what Bon Bon/Sweetie Drops is to voices.
No.
That Ending WILL NOT DO!
Do over!
Right now!
No making Luna sad and ending it there!
HOW VERY DARE YOU!
11337881
Obviously it's because of how the moons phases effect her emotions. Let's just call it her cycle.
Is there even crescent or new moons in Equestria
11337786
11337826
Thanks!
11337947
Excellent
okaybut
what if I told you
that krakens canonically aren't extinct in the comics?

I guess no mortal can pronounce Larry's full name, so that's why he goes by Larry.
How many of those have you had I wonder?
Twiggles should get a special lore companion guide for posterity and realism.
Now that the secret is out, there's no reason to keep details from the public.
Plus as a very generous government official, you could charge her for a insane amount of bits.
Is this Princess Luna or filly Luna?
I don't even care, because it's perfect.
No Lulu! Look away!
11337881
Or Octavia. I can't think of a single time Octavia's voice hasn't been different.
The book isn't consistent with show canon, especially with the expansion of Starswirl's backstory, so I have no qualms with this story being inconsistent with it too.
You know, I haven't thought about it until just now, but the J.K. Rowling-based name pun has aged like milk as of late. Somewhat Unfortunate.
Either way, good read.

Well, I don't know about completely unknown, in the sense that the name Nightmare Moon and the villain associated with it was definitely still recognized by the general public, even in the first episode. It was just getting shrugged off as an "old mare's tale" and little more--I believe it was specifically Spike who even called her just that. So until the mare herself appeared before everybody, nobody (except Twilight and presumably Celestia) seriously thought she'd ever actually reappear.
Honestly, of the two characters in this fic, I'd call Luna's retcons the more minor in the grand scheme of things, since I find they really aren't that hard to adapt or work around--Daring's own share of retcons surrounding her own lore seem far more glaring to me by comparison, particularly the episode she last starred in before the show ended.
Pfft, "canon". MLP's canon has always been bullshit. The last 2 seasons were pretty much the show writers making not-so-subtle jabs at the fanbase.
As for the story itself, its very light on the comedy.
Luna just tanking all the traps for Daring here gives me major 'I'm an endgame level RPG character going back to a beginner area and taking no damage from anything' vibes.
11338184
I fully agree. I know it's weird to be saying it on this site, but MLP is the only show other than The X-Files that I can give an hour-long uninterrupted rant on for being a conga line of wasted opportunities and plotlines. The saving grace is that it gave us one of the best fantasy universes to write in and the fans succeeded where the show failed. Some of the stories and novels on this site are better than many fiction books I've read in years (Including yours!)
A lot of people don't really care about the show's overall story and love the show as it is, and that is totally ok and I'm happy you enjoy it! But I personally much prefer the books and stories here.
11338234
Topped off with finding out that all that physical immunity doesn't protect you from the emotional damage of the final scene.
11338042
That would honestly make for a very funny story.
I think Cooked Grenade may have been a little sparing when describing the booby traps to Luna.
Or Luna wasn't paying attention at the time for some other reason.
Would be weird having a semi immortal partner in a job like this. I wouldn’t say it would take the fun out of it, but it would definitely bring one up short every so often.
11338234
heh, yeah, that was exactly it.
11338254
Eeeyup.
11338408
Cooked Grenade had a great butt, but Luna couldn't mention that in E-rated.
11338410
Daring took it well, all things considered.
True story: This same basic scenario happened in a D&D game I ran many years ago. While in a dungeon, the rogue took lead to search a corridor for traps, but the cleric, who was the party goofball, pulled her back and explained that it was dangerous. While she was looking confused and before she could say anything, the cleric stepped into the corridor she was about to search and started jumping up and own. On the pressure plate, releasing a rock from the ceiling that landed on his head and took him down to single digit hit points.
"I found the trap!"
Very confused. Why would luna NOT expect to find the corpse of her father here?
11338631
That was a good story.
Took you long enough to write this
Will check it out once I get the time, heh
11338977
Always time for Luna, eh?

"Besides, I want to go back to my old, old room and retrieve my fluffy pukwudgie slippers."
"..."
"What? They were very comfortable slippers."
The idea of such a powerful being like that "retiring" to do something so mundane makes me smile...
That certainly has got to be a surreal and slightly disturbing experience, being displaced out of time and ending up conducting an archaeological exploration on your old home.
11338238
I agree. To me, this site IS MLP Friendship is Magic along with Silly Filly Studios and others. I’ve only watched a handful of “canonical ” episodes, but the fan made ones were fantastic. The show went downhill when a certain creator left, but she set up the foundation of the world which continues on here.
That ending was very much not expected and quite frankly sounds like the start of a much bigger story. One that most likely won't be written, but still feels so.
Have a reluctant like, for you made best princess cry and left her on a cliffhanger
I'd ask why Daring is wearing pajmas themed after her own novels, but I don't think I want the answer there.
Oh. Well, that settles that.
With that pseudonym, I can only assume the title is something like Pounded in the Butt by the Regrets of My Previous Career.
We never see kobolds in Friendship is Magic, but I remain convinced they are quasi-religiously maintaining the traps in all the ancient ruins. Indeed, that may be their actual religion.
Oof. Yeah, your parents always seem immortal when you're young. Especially when they're demigods in their own right. Lovely bit of rare character interaction, but that last bit clearly hurt Luna more than every trap in the fortress combined. Thank you for this.
"D-daddy?" Ouch
11339163
11339043
Yup.
11339066
Who wouldn't wear Daring Do pajamas?
11339017
Yup.
She should probably have consulted her sister about visiting this particular ruin. Celestia might have known about that little detail
11339301
LOL, yup.
Maybe she wanted to surprise Celestia with the news. Or maybe Celestia is at a bingo tournement.
Oh no, they told Luna he went off to start a farm didn't they?
Hmm This one does NOT contradict specifically the Journal... What happened BEFORE starting the Journal is unknown. They are INDECENTLY vague about parents, extended family and whatever else... apart from saying that Alicorn get their cutie mark quite later in life and implying that they had a somewhat normal time growing up.
That balrog tangent was great
11339397
Ha!
11339807
Thanks!

RWBY is another show I've seen do nothing but waste potential and get routinely built up by it's fandom. Seriously, I swear RWBY fanfic writers make mogging the show their sole mission in life.
