Sometimes writing a letter is considered the "easier" way to communicate, but despite all its comparative "ease" it can also be one of the hardest things you ever do.

There are a few things to forewarn you of. This story deals with anti-homosexuality in a political/religious setting that closely parallels some of contemporary society. If you don't enjoy stories that mix ponies with politics, are ethically targeted or introduce elements that wouldn't fit in show-like Equestria, then this probably isn't the story for you.

For almost a millennium, Princess Celestia had nopony to spend her Hearth's Warming with. All the castle staff and the Royal Guard go home to their families, her students go on holiday break from the school... but as a lone ruler, who does she have to share the holiday with? For the longest time, the answer was 'nopony.'

But not anymore.

Octavia Melody is calm, patient and longing to break the boundaries of class through her career as a musician.

Princess Luna is lost in the eddies of her past, struggling to belong in a new age that doesn't seem to want her.

A chance meeting after a disastrous gala gives these isolated souls a chance to find companionship and comfort. As Luna seeks solace in Octavia's soothing music, Octavia comes to recognize the princess's loneliness and fears. When it's your duty to protect other ponies' dreams, who protects your own? Octavia might just be willing to try.

...a fantastic fic, with one of the best paced romances you can find on this site, great prose, and one of the best characterized Octavia's I could point out. — Soge, TPCaRG (Read the review!)

PaulAsaran has crafted what may well be the best LunAvia ship on the site. —Cerulean Voice

Highly recommended if you like romance instead of the more typical shallow shipping. —City of Doors

If you're a fan of Luna and or Octavia, it's a crime not to indulge! —Wanderer D

I guarantee you will enjoy it. —vren55

Technically, this is flawless: the writing, the pacing, you name it, it's great. —PresentPerfect

Breathe. In. Out.

Never lose yourself in your yard-crossing yearnings. Always make sure the fire in your heart doesn't burn your lungs.

And most importantly... know that your hoof-falls are for more than just your benefit.

Rainbow Dash absolutely loves the Daring Do series, and she's aware that other ponies have written their own Daring Do stories. Once Rainbow Dash had finished the series, she needed something else to read. Perhaps some of the many fanfictions out there would be a good read, right?

Warning: this story contains explicit language and may upset certain viewers. Rainbow Dash gets very frustrated. Read at your own risk!

Submitted for the 31shotober challenge!
