Fate has not been kind. Nightmare Moon, the Princess of Dreams, sets into motion her master plan to make the man she longs for her own in the one place she can, knowing full well that it will only end in agony. The world of dreams.
HNNNNNNNG! the feels, I cant handle them....but.....I must, the story is too amazing not to read. Anyways, nice work on this, I thought you would do something like this to fulfil Nightmare's unrequilted love (I have no idea if I spelt that right). And like before, his memories of the dream are safely sealed away to protect him. And very nice choices with the music, I felt that they gave the story a deeper sense of emotion as it lets us hear the mood. Once again, very well done and cant wait for the next update~
4168143 Its no worries about the wait. I'm just always excited about reading your stuff. But for this chapter, the fact that she's fed up with not having him and that she cant have him in reality, but she's figured out a way to get her dream and his (even if he diesnt know it) within the dream realm but they both then have to wake up and she has to go about the day like nothing happened and he's down in ponyville with no memory of what happened. They both get their dream come true, but only within a dream. Its wonderful and tragic. Its so sweet and cruel. And I can only think of all the drama and romance this story will have. Its dripping with so many subtle hints at what could be and at the same time, we dont know what could happen till you write the next chapter. it makes us all (to quote pinkie pie) nevouscited. But still. You are the author, take your time and do what you need to do and we'll be here when you update either this or the lost element. And if you decide to take a vacation, shot break or anything of the like, we shall respect your wishes.
4168187 Yeah, I think I will take a one week break from writing for now with all the bitterness that has happened to me lately. My drive to write has not been strong this last week, what with being robbed and all.
4168288 Understandable, take a break and relax some. We're always gonna be here, and we'll be occupied by our lives and other stories so we can hold off for months if need be
4173222 I guess it'd have to be the fact that Nightmare recognizes that what she's doing is wrong, yet she is choosing to continue. She's going after something that she shouldn't in order to be happy. Selfish? Yes, but at least I can understand why she's doing it.
So basically it'll be like Inception? Great.. Now thanks to my overactive imagination, I've already imagined how the entire story will end, and it'll have lots of sad feels.. A dream (controlled by Moony) where James and break up or were never "together", and in which Moony is the love interest. James will be completely unaware that it's all just a dream and years go by (in-dream). As the years go by Moony will get sadder and sadder knowing its just a dream.. James (more-or-less) will eventually die of old age and is told on his deathbed that it's all just a dream. A beautiful dream that can never be fc06.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2011/347/b/5/nightmare_moon_crying_by_phantasis-d4ix849.png
(Look, I'm sure you mean well, but my heart should fly free.) (It's just that, it's not really love if you were to cage me.) (So please...please, let me be!)
Interesting, yet I cannot help but feel that there will be nothing but tragedy if the appropriate steps and actions are NOT taken...she is on the razors edge as it is.
4177960 I meant that EVERYTHING in this fic made me feel for poor Nightmare, her constant pining for her beloved, her inner turmoil because of her doing things she knows is wrong. her respect as well as loathing for Fluttershy.
While I understand Nightmare Moon longs for James, her actions are not just. Sooner or later, she will have to face the consequences. I do not wish to see her punished, but she will be if she continues to do so... Luna is also a dream jumper, what if she stumbles unto Nightmare Moon's creation? It will only be a matter of time before she finds out and informs Celestia.
I love your writing, and you know that. But this takes it to another level. After FINALLY getting around to reading what you have up of this, I am left speachless. As the man of music that I am, I cannot begin to describe how I felt when I heard the music while I was reading this. Just... wow. It brought tears to my eyes in some places, it made me actually feel even more so for the characters ( how? I don't know, what with your superb writing already maxing out the feels meter).

4167877 I will not be coming back to this story for a while, so I apologize for the wait. I just don't want to reveal any spoilers in this.
Despite having little to describe in this chapter, may I ask what stood out to you in this one?

Your stories always make me happy on the inside.
And I get the feeling that this isn't going to end well for Nightmare.
4172069 May I ask what made you the happiest in this chapter?

Greed is a powerful thing.

Great..
