When nights draw long, Luna's mind wanders.

Celestia slumbers peacefully down the hall. With whom can she discuss her worries?

(The events within take place between Seasons One and Two.)

Rather heart-wrenching. But I believe you made a mistake there: Luna can dream. It's how her little nightmare beast, Tantabus, is able to torment her.

Ah existential torment I know thee well.
Wonderful little piece. I dont think you could/should try to fit another 250 words into this. As it is, it's short, sweet and to the point.


6527354 Well you could always ignore that episode for this, it lends a certain desolation to Luna's character that she can't dream.
Also you could always say with the Tantabus, she wasnt dreaming as it was more a constructed dreamscape for her to act out her need for penitence.

6527354 This is also meant to take place between seasons one and two, I should mention.

6528620 Ah, then that makes much more sense. Perhaps a notice indicating as much in the description?

I like the shorter version more. This got a little flowery at the start.
Overall though it is still really good.

That was the impression I had of the Tantabus. That that wasn't so much a dream as a constructed dreamscape in which she tormented herself over what she had done.

A very lovely story.

And agree that the idea of Luna not dreaming works for the story regardless of what's considered canon. It can be frustrating sometimes to have what is otherwise a great idea for a story only to have some bit of canon get in the way. You can always just assume AU in that case. Doesn't detract from the story one bit.

Well, it helps set up "Luna Eclipsed" nicely, though it's a bit of a shaggy dog story on its own.
Regarding the Tantibus, I just assumed this was AU.

You can have review! :pinkiehappy:

6787012 Thanks for your review! I should mention when I wrote it, I had not seen the most recent seasons, and therefore was not aware of Luna's dreaming abilities.

Aw, this is sad and touching. I enjoy TwiLuna pairings but this seems destined not to be, though Luna has more nights to write and actually send notes in. Or perhaps Celestia would send Twilight to befriend Luna.
