Extra baggage?  What?  We already knew she had some emotional issues, given the "going insane and shrouding Equestria in eternal night" thing, so why write an entire story about it?  Unless you're talking about a baby or something...  *Reads chapter title*  Oh.  Oh, shit.

a Reason why Luna/Nightmare Moon came back for Revenge

Sad......

I liked it. Nightmare Moon is best pony.

I thought you did a good job making the story feel sad even though it was just over 1000 words.

11 months. Ponies gestate for 11 months, not 9.

My my...

Interesting!

Baggage.... I wonder if that means... OH!

Very well done. I give many applauds at this story. Sadness was done very well. Definitely well worth the read. Maybe i'll add this.... Yeah this should fit.

Anyway, great story, i will be waiting for more to come.

Shit... as soon as I saw that picture I knew what this story was going to be about.... I just had to read it anyways didn't I?

My feels

WAS CELESTIA EVEN LISTENING TO HER SISTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I... well... shit. That hit the feels.

That cover pic...poor Nightmare Moon.  While it was a short story, it did manage to seriously tug at my heartstrings.  It's quite a unique idea, all be it a very sad one...

My feels were further felt, because this music was playing in my mind as I read this: Sadness

Even though there were some minor grammar errors, they hardly subtracted from the story.  Thus you deserve this:

Likely? She COULDN'T.

Poor Nightmare Moon. Her child didn't deserve that!

Kinda wish you included Celestia's "D'oh Shit" moment assuming Luna told her this happened, also was I the only one expecting the baby to somehow be Twilight? I mean there are a lot of Twilight is a princess stories out there...

SEQUEL! SEQUEL! SEQUEL!

Here's the source for the cover image- My Night Will Last Forever

edit: It's also the full image, not just the tiny snippet you see here.

Hey... psst. This story is very similar. Read it. My Night Will Last Forever- The Wizard Of Words

Oh god please no, please don't make me read this. The short story alone tore my heart out, I won't be able to handle a full story of it. Oh god why?

*reads chapter*

*cries in emotional agony*

This is the most feature box worthy story I have read since "anno domini"

No. No please no. No. Dear God no. Why? Why do you do this to me? Why do you toy with my poor emotions? Fuuuuuuuuuucccccck I hate you sooooooo muuuuuuuuch.

Nothing burns brighter than the flame of revenge

>>13987731398773 The baby died

Ah jeez that hit the rough part. Very well wrote.

....Damn, I need a hug...

Wow... I am heartless...

o.O

>>13989381398938

The full image is beautiful...but sooooooooooooooooo sad.  I shed manly tears because of it.   But thank you for sharing the full version.

>>13992051399205

Another sad Nightmare Moon fic?  ...I'll add it to my read later list.  I don't know if  can handle another one just yet.  But thank you for sharing the link.  

>>13998661399866 I meant I expected it to be twilight when she first mentioned being pregnant...since Alicorn twilight stories aren't so rare, of course It was disregarded when it was birthed and it wasn't lavender and everything. It was a assumption.

WHY MUST YOU DO THIS!

>>14000631400063 Me too...

Long Vive, Lupus Imperii!

>>13984201398420 It only says she was on the moon for 9 months, that doesn't mean she got pregnant the day she got banished now does it.

>>13987371398737 Actually, it's not a unique idea; I have read a fanfic a while ago that had almost the same plot, though NMM's child died instantly upon birth in that one. Unfortunately I can't find it any more. I don't even remember if it was on fimfiction or on some other site.

Not that I hold it against the author of this fic; such ideas are bound to come up multiple times.

>>14005321400532 Fair enough.

>>14002861400286 Well, you're very much welcome.

...All my feels.

Soooo friggin sad! so many manly tears being shed right now

That was so amazing. It was very sad, as I feel for poor NMM, all she wanted was to be recognized for her work and she was ignored.... poor NMM.

Dark.

Saw the 'tragedy' tag.  I read the 'extra baggage' bit in the description.  I knew i should've avoided this story afterwards.  I ignored those thoughts.  I paid for it with my sad feels now.  I have no regrets.  I must be on a sad-story binge tonight.  This is the third one that i've at least teared up at.

Fuck...  That hit hard.  If this hasn't hit the feature box yet...  It definitely deserves to.  You know what RapeTrain?  You get a watch for just these ~1400 words.  It's not much, but it's the least i can do for your words having a single tear drop from my face.

So sad...

Oh, hello Fridge Horror. How are you tonight? What! The foal suffered an excruciatingly painful death as her blood boiled in the vacuum of space and her limbs bloated from lack of pressure? Only mitigated by the fact that she lost consciousness after a few seconds from lack of oxygen?

Thanks, thanks a lot, Fridge Horror.

.... right in the feelzz...

>>14043071404307 Damn you for reminding me of the other aspects of death by vacuum. Now I'm crying harder. Now I'm going to torture myself by reading the other fic based on this picture.

No word will describe my sorrow towards that child

Hmm...Very sad, Very good. Thanks for writing this, it is lovely, in a dark, sad way...

>>14110571411057 What other fic...?

>>14186741418674 My Night Will Last Forever

It was linked to by someone else earlier in these comments.

This better get a sequel!

It would be interesting to see how hard Celestia takes it when she hears about this, there would be so much of the sad.

>>13983761398376 The bad thing if this is why she came back for revenge she should really have gotten it in my opinion.

>>14605611460561 You should make a Sequal to this

Curious thing that the source picture the stilborn foal looked identical to Cadance originally, then again it was said uncanny resemblance and the negative feedback that forced the artist to recolor the stillborn foal, I know that because I saw the original picture

If you're curious, I'm the commissioner of the source image. I never realized there were multiple fics based on it! Why didn't you send me a note on DA?

Oh dear god, not even Nightmare Moon deserved to see her child die

I thought the gestation period for horses was 11 months... Anyways, great story!

NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

Now my heart, soul and feels are drained...

I feeled to this.

This is quite possibly the saddest short story I've ever read.

Well done sir, well done.

WAAAAAAA!!!!! So meny tears

why celestia we all know your the most powerfull alcorn give the filly and Luna mercy,,

>>14003221400322 I don't think Twilight is over a thousand years old...

I'm a ten year combat veteran of the United States Army. I have been a part of Operation: Iraqi Freedom and Operation: Enduring Freedom, as well as other operations I am not really allowed to go into detail about.

In those ten years, I have seen many things that would cause many of you to suffer over. And at first, I suffered as well.

But now I'm hardened, and I typically don't suffer from emotional pain.

This story made ME cry.

Every once in a while, you come across a story that has a deep impact, that makes you feel real emotion.  

I can say with certainty that this fic KILLED me inside; I haven't cried like this in a good long while.  

Well done, I fave this with a tip of my hat.

I knew it was gonna happen but then it happened and I couldn't help but cry. Why would you write such a terrible thing?!

Great story though, especially considering how short it is. Thumbs up!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! not Skippy...

that was sad good work on the storie tho.

Quick! Do wizzard-y stuff to return her from the grave. Preferably to give the living haircuts
