Luna has fallen into a deep state of depression. Celestia tasks princess Twilight to befriend Luna in hopes that she may return to normal. But tragedy ensues when Luna coaxes Twilight to break the rules Celestia had set forth.

The Nightmare Moon had, when she was exiled by her sister, Princess Celestia, a secret.

She was only just recently pregnant.

Nightmare Moon may have failed at everything else, but she was not going to fail her child.

A story that will tie into a new, and larger, series of stories that I am working on. Based off of several "bad end" pictures on Derpibooru.

Luna is back, but she doesn't feel connected.

She will continue her duties alone, as always.

Companion piece to Celestia Wept.

After a thousand years of exile, Princess Luna settles in for what she hopes will be the first of many peaceful nights after an eon of mental “self” torture. Though pleasant dreams evade her, it is not her own screams of terror that torment her.

This is a story that is strongly influenced by my headcanon about Luna’s dream-walking ability as well as other bits of my headcanon. Not the least of which being my headcanon as to why Luna’s appearance changes from season one to season two. Yes I realize it was an animation decision, but I’m still allowed to have headcanon on the subject.

Okay it is now the part of the show where we give shout outs.

One, to my wonderful editor/proofreader/person who promised to not make fun of me and ended up telling the truth... Twi-Fi. Follow that link and you will find some fun stories.

Um... Season Two and beyond Luna was found HERE
And the Season one Luna is right over... HERE

Feeling rejected from their subjects and even her own sister, Princess Luna undergoes her transformation into the evil Nightmare Moon. The only pony able to stop her is her own sister Celestia who must banish her in the end.

A thousand years is a long time to be away from Equestria. Times have changed, and with that, technology. Can Luna manage to fit into a world that she no longer recognizes? Princess Celestia hopes that a day out in Canterlot is just what Luna needs.

Frozen to the bone then heated with a fire from within, Celestia cracks and Luna is the witness. Luna offers forgiveness, but is Celestia too hardened to accept it... or give it for that matter?
[The idea for this story was developed before the canonization of Nightmare Moon's banishment]
