Death is the equalizer of all mortal souls, so it is only right that an immortal princess—the princess of the night—is the one who guides these souls to their eternal home. Before each of these ponies crosses the threshold, they are automatically sent to the dream realm, where Luna grants three of their most fervent wishes, some of which are heartbreaking, uplifting, or both. This is a collection of stories of a few of those departed souls, both young and old, and the princess who gave a peaceful journey home to all of them.

Luna's is a beautiful and heart-wrenching duty...
Oh Luna...
I started to tear a little as soon as I read "foal"
the agony for dahlia, that's really sad
Nice to see not all of these will be lives of misery. Beautiful read, as are the previous chapters.

Amen
All of this is beautiful and sad.
I wonder if the newborns get to "grow up" in Heaven?

No. I think they remain the same age, while the elderly get to be young and beautiful forever.
May troubles be far from her mind...
Holy shit. That is all that I can say.
I made a mistake and read this story, as well as your other 2, similarly themed stories, in one go...
In a way, thank you for letting me have a cry I really needed.
These stories were amazing, and while I am sure I will cry again, I look forward to any more you make in this manner.
You make ponies seem way more bleak than they should be. I mean opines have been known to go to war with pies.
Still nicely written

we've also seen them go to war armed and ready for physical combat, like in Starlight's futures. the war ith pies was more just a small=scale feud
That was very bittersweet. Luna's very strong pony to do that every night. May they all rest in peace.
This does raise the question, how has Luna not managed to locate and help this guy earlier if she can communicate with him whenever he dreams? but i'm going to ignore that
I have read countless stories on this site for many many years. This story and its sequel has done something very few stories have accomplished. Break me, I dunno how long I’ve been crying reading this.
Very well done.
Oh my god... 😭
This makes Luna's transformation into Nightmare Moon make perfect sense.
