Princess Luna ordered the Tantabus to torture her dreams every night so that she would never consider returning to the dark path she once trod as Nightmare Moon.

Luna should have remembered just how difficult it was for her to obey rules before she used her own essence to create what was, in effect, a smaller, more headstrong version of herself.

The Tantabus is determined to follow the true purpose of her command, no matter the consequences, large or small.

Or very, very small.

How long has Princess Luna been alive? It was a question that even the princess in question can't answer completely. It's not her fault. When you become an immortal goddess, time practically loses all meaning and the years fly by in the blink of an eye. It was hard to remember exactly what happened when or who did what at a certain point. It was hard to even remember her own birthday. It's a good thing her daughters were there to remind her.

When Princess Luna created the Tantabus years ago, she had no idea what she was truly creating. She created an intelligent creature, fully sapient. The Tantabus has wants and desires, hopes and dreams, fears and worries.

But it does not think like we do. It never did, and it never will.

It is fully aware, with the exact same feelings as we do, and we will never understand it.

A thousand years ago Nightmare Moon fought Celestia at the castle of the two royal sisters. The destruction was devastating. Wild magic and falling stonework were too much for the pregnant mare to escape. Her dying wish was her foal could be saved. Sometimes wishes get answered in the most unexpected ways.

The Tantabus acted with a mind of its own. It had a goal, it had its own desires, it took the form of a unicorn, it wanted to live. The reason why will change Princess Luna's life.

Trying to patrol the dreams of every pony in Equestria can be stressful. To ease her burden, Luna retools the Tantabus to turn nightmares into good dreams instead of vice versa. Aware of her mistakes from last time, she tests it out thoroughly, making sure there are no unexpected behaviors. And as far as she can tell, there are none.

Except that it's started calling her "Mom".

Faced with the prospect of possibly creating life, Luna seeks out Twilight's advice and assistance. With a little luck, they can get this all sorted out before the sun rises.

This is NOT a clopfic. The sex tag is merely for suggestive content.

There are forces beyond the boundaries of our world, a fact that Roseate Grimsbane is fully aware of. A powerful unicorn witch, Roseate has to function as a teacher and citizen of the town of Muleport, while concealing the otherworldly powers given to her.

The fact that her husband is an Alien Intelligence from beyond the Fifth Veil, doesn't make this a simple task.

This is a Comment Driven Story, where you can speak to Roseate using an enchanted mirror, an eldritch artifact that allows for communication with those beyond the Fifth Veil (You), so feel free to ask her questions and perhaps even give her some advice when the time comes. But please keep it clean.

Luna is no stranger to fighting darkness - both within and without. But when a new predator arises in the dreaming realm, she must fight like never before.

When the abyss gazes also into you, you can't afford to blink first.

Luna encounters a chilling mystery in the Dreamscape. A terror so deep that it can kill the dreamers she is tasked to protect. To solve this mystery she must trek to the distant town of Neighshabur and hope that she is not too late.

As the ponies of Equestria sleep, Princess Luna looks after their dreams and keeps the nightmares at bay. But as Luna herself sleeps, she is plagued with her own nightmares, brought on by the guilt of her actions as Nightmare Moon. Recent events have prompted her to face these nightmares, however, because nothing can last forever.
