Princess Luna falls comatose and is revived by the love-sick kiss of one of Celestia's guards. As a reward, she leads him to the ancient hidden barracks of her long forgotten guardian force. Their slowly blossoming romance gives birth to a breed of royal guard not seen in 1,000 years. The Lunar Stallions!

On the eve of Hearth's Warming Eve, as Luna raises the moon, she is visited once again by the very entity which drove her to madness. Resisting it's influence, Celestia and Luna hatch a plan to end this once and for all.
One which works too well with unforeseen consequences.
As the nightmare loses it's power, it plummets to the earth followed by an explosion of Power that the Royal Sisters know too well. However when they find the epicentre of the explosion they are shocked to see an Alicorn with no memory, and no name.

Yet the question remains. Why does it resemble Luna so much that they could be twins??

Follow the story as this unnamed Alicorn makes her presence into Equestria, for better or worse.

Come, my friends, 'tis not too late to seek a newer world...

Princess Luna feels stifled in the nation crafted by her sister in her absence. After much debate, and over the strenuous objections of Princess Celestia, she decides to leave Equestria and find her own land, to rule as she sees fit. She asks her friends, the bearers of the Elements of Harmony, to join her in her quest as she travels into a wide world full of indescribable wonders, unspeakable horrors, and magics long-forgotten to ponykind.

Three days ago, the moon eclipsed the sun at midday before setting soon after. Three days ago, a series of explosions rocked the Castle of the Two Sisters and the surrounding village. Three days ago, Princess Luna disappeared without a trace.

Ever since then, the sun has remained fixed in the sky, and all of Equestria has already begun to wither in the resulting heat wave. Princess Celestia refuses to leave her chambers, and the only one who could reliably bring her forth, her sister, is nowhere to be found.

What will it take to bring Celestia back to reason and stability back to Equestria?

Luna struggles with her art and herself, and her beloved sees her at her worst.

An audio reading by the ever-awesome obabscribbler!

Dreams are such delicate things, and Scootaloo’s are more fragile than most.

But in Equestria, dreams are protected. Sometimes a filly just needs a helping hoof to learn how to hope again.

This story has a reading! Slightly older version of the story, but the reading is very well done. It can be found here.

Lunar Limbo is a cold place, made even colder with a being whose only purpose is to augment one’s negative emotions and one’s desires, who insists that Luna was right to try to take over.

Written for Nightmare Moon is best pony's contest and also entered into Luna is The Best Pony's contest.

EDIT: If I've mistagged this by adding "Drama," let me know.

Luna loved her sister. She loved Celestia more than she loved the ponies of Equestria. However the ponies denied her. They only loved her sister and when Luna attempted to remedy their blasphemy her own beloved sister cast her from the world. Celestia had made Luna's own creation her cold and dismal prison. The stars had betrayed her. After a thousand years Luna had returned and her sister's pets had forced her to "exercise" her inner demon. The notion that she was ever possessed made her wonder what sort of lies Celestia had fed to her groveling sheep.

Luna stood alone in her tower and watched Canterlot burn. The changelings were bringing so much death and chaos. The captain of the guard was defeated. Princess Cadence was weakened and frail. The elements of harmony were no longer a threat and Celestia was incapacitated. Everything was proceeding as Luna had foreseen.

Edit: I am humbled that someone would consider to do a dramatic reading for one of my fics. FimFic user joehighlord did just that for What Once was Lost. If you would like to hear this story read out loud go here.

The princess of the night leads you to her royal bedchambers at the top of her high tower. Therein she shows you the night sky in its entirety and presents the heavens’ great mystery in her beautiful night.

Come, share an intimate moment with the Night Princess.
