I will have more substantial comments for when I get off from work later tonight, but for now: yay!

Comments are always appreciated... the more the merrier, and that goes for everyone.
I'm read this
I admit it’s been awhile since I’ve read the Lunaverse, but I don’t recall Lyra acting this transparently saucy.
Hmmmm. A redeemed(ish) antagonist coupled with somepony from Planet Idon'tgetit. Sounds familiar, don't it? I think M!Starlight could relate to this.
So far, so cute. Twilight, if you don't want to serve candy, you don't have to. I didn't last night due to simple exhaustion.
One small typo.
Should be 'to'.
Well the meaning of Nightmare Night took two years to finish and Rime's in it's 5th year now so there's some precedent for holiday based Lunaverse stories to take a while to update.
After the whole debacle of RDD being an unrelenting shithead over the Third Wheel series I've lost interest in anything related to him.
Clover continues to be Best Fake Element Bearer.

Maybe, although I thought I was actually playing her more subtle than usual.

So are you saying I've made Twilight/Clover into the Lunaverse's equivalent of Starlight/Trixie on the show. Can't say that was ever my intent, but I do suppose it works out that way.

Twilight mentions she enjoys passing out candies.
9917293
True, although in this case I already had chapter 2 fully drafted and only plan to take the next few days polishing it up.

There's a reason why out of all of Twilight's merry band of misfits, Clover is the one I decided to keep around.

Ah.
At some point Clover and Trixie need to inflict a cooking contest on Ponyville. Honeydew can join in too.
Nopony would suspect Twilight if being so foolish as to prank Trixie! It’s actually not a bad idea.
I wonder if canon-Twilight’s book detailed that. It did mention pillow fights…Really, what's your grudge against Trixie?I seem to recall a certain Rube Goldberg-esque device that was used on Rainbow back in Griffin Over the Line...
I don't think Trixie is quite that type of hero.
Okay, the whole breaking into the Residency goes over the line for me. I don't like pranks overall-been the victim of some that have seriously screwed with me and honestly I just can't get my head around them being fun-but that just... I'm sorry, but no. That just takes me out of any enjoyment I was having.

Yes... I was worried you might feel that way, and I really am sorry if this story end up being a step too far for you.
If it helps even a little, I'd like to reassure you that this was absolutely never in any way meant to actually be an endorsement of pranking. Clover is very much supposed to be coming across here as at the very least naively immature, if not something of an overtly bad influence. Just because she got away with it this time this time, isn't supposed to mean she was ever in the right to begin with.
In the original ending Clover actually got caught and punished in Twilight's place (albeit with like a week of community service), but it didn't feel right to have twilight just teleport away and abandon a friend, so I flipped things around and also threw in that bit with Rainbow Dash being impressed... because even if she isn't an Element of Harmony in this setting, she still respects LOYALTY. I still very much tried to make sure, however, with Clover's moment of introspection alone in her cabin when she's worried about never seeing Twilight again, that Clever realizes she was in the wrong to have ever taken things so far over a "joke" that was never really funny.
It's all supposed to tie back into what makes Clover a bad Element of Laughter.
What I'd like is if Trixie knew perfectly well that Twilight was out for nightmare night because "I am Luna's personal student. One of the first lessons she hammered into me is to ALWAYS read what I sign" (well, originally was to be about "after a unfortunate las Pegasus incident I make sure to always read what I sign..." but I'm not sure it is appropriate for this Trixie.)
And while she was out she went to the library and as a prank ordered all the books by color cover .
