Novalis has progressed far. Once a mere admirer of Princess Luna, he is now her ambassador on errands she cannot handle herself, and her personal student, studying the stars and sky when his dreaming is not interfering.

A sequel to Nocturnality, Novalis will now begin exploring the world, and his relationship with the Lunar Princess.

A/N: Thank you all for having this featured three times on FimFiction. It means so much to me, even if it's only featured for short times.

A/N2: Hopefully this will be under review soon, so I can clear any problems up.

A/N3: Now with a sequel! With a Shine in His Eyes

This story is set in a universe without Nightmare Moon, one where Luna has been with her beloved little ponies throughout the ages alongside her sister.

Novalis is a pony with big dreams. A large fan of astronomy and the night sky, his biggest dream comes true when Princess Luna invites him to the castle to personally show him her night sky. Novalis is excited, happy, eager, and... nervous? Novalis got into astrological studies because of his crush on Luna. Can he remain professional, or will he ruin his own chances?

Note: To those who read my Abandoned Hopes story, this is not the same character.

Meet Kotushk. A human who can keep a facade of normalcy, even when his emotions are trying to rip him apart. But his acts, his ploys, they all eat away at him, and he has had to develop coping mechanisms. His most used one? Mind splitting. He has, over the years, broken his own mind and partitioned it, to avoid pain and... anger. A life most unjust, he only wishes to be loved. His only pride is his intelligence, which he uses to create a machine. A desperate move, as this machine's first and only test is himself. One try, and the machine is destroyed. The machine's purpose? To relocate him from his own world, and place him somewhere he can find peace at last.
