Princess Luna and Princess Twilight Sparkle
I collapsed as soon as the doors closed behind the last guest, exhausted.
“Will these balls ever get less boring?” I asked to the air.
I felt a hoof rub me between my wings.
“I feel your fatigue as well, Twilight,” Luna said. “But matters of state do tend to take priority over comfort.”
I looked up at the dark Alicorn. “I know, I know,” I said, rising. “But you would think that they would give us time to mingle and maybe sit down.”
Luna chuckled, moving over and giving me a nuzzle. “Believe me, I have asked my sister many times the same question.” She looked over as staff members started to do light cleaning and clearing away the leftover food.
“Maybe we should move on to a more suitable locale?” she said, her smile warming my heart.
“What did you have in mind?” I asked, smiling back.
“This is amazing!” I cried as I looked around the landscape. It may have been a little barren, but the view was amazing.
“I am glad that you find the view pleasing,” Luna said, looking around. “Even after so many years, the sight of this far-reaching night lifts my spirits up.”
I looked up at the sky, more stars than I had ever seen from my balcony on my castle or my room at the palace. I couldn’t even begin to recognize them all. I turned to take in the entirety of the sky and stopped as a new site rose into view.
The planet turned beneath me, a glowing blue and green gem with fluffy white streaks slowly drifting across its surface.
“Is that…”
“Yes,” Luna said, coming up and draping a wing across me. “And Equestria is below us as we speak.” She pointed a hoof at the planet. “And that is Ponyville, nestled in the valley by that mountain range.”
I stared at my home, seeing the gleam of my castle.
“This is beautiful, Luna,” I said as I nuzzled her neck. “Thank you for showing it to me.”
“For a thousand years, these views served to taunt me as I sat imprisoned here,” she said, looking down for a moment. “After you freed me, I was having difficulty looking at the moon as I raised it, and I hid my gaze from the domain that was to be mine.”
She turned her head up to face me. “But now I gaze at the sky and smile fondly at the fact that I have friends that enjoy the view that I reveal each day.”
She returned my nuzzle and sat to watch the planet spin beneath us.
“Do you know what today is?” I asked.
“I have difficulty keeping track of days,” she said, rubbing the back of her neck, her mane shimmering in the starlight. “It is a consequence of splitting the day in half.”
I giggled and leaned into her. “Once the sun rises, it’s Hearts and Hooves Day,” I said. “And I can’t think of anything more perfect than sharing this view with my special somepony.”
Luna gazed down at me, but not as much as she once had. The years between our saving her and today had seen me grow a few inches, starting to resemble Cadence in frame. Rarity had been excited about being able to design new gowns for me. A thin ring of brilliance started to show around the edge of the planet.
“Then I should probably complete this properly,” Luna said, kissing me just as the sun rose fully.
I woke up in my bed, the tingle of Luna’s kiss still on my lips. I smiled and trotted down the hall to the tower that housed the Tower of Duty. Just as I approached the door, Luna came through, looking sleepy. She perked up a bit when she saw me, and trotted over, giving me a dignified nuzzle.
“Happy Hearts and Hooves Day,” she whispered into my ear.
I pushed my head up under her chin, turning into her slightly, aligning my body with hers. “That was beautiful, Lulu,” I whispered. “Thanks for sharing it with me.”
“You are most welcome, Twily,” she whispered in return. “And as much as I would like to spend this day with you, I regret I must retire for a short rest.”
I grinned. “I am feeling a little tired,” I said, yawning.
She glanced at me, a small smile crossing her face.
“You do seem fatigued,” she said. “Perhaps you should return to bed.”
I awoke after a short while, finding Luna’s wing draped across me. The dream I had shared with her was still fresh and sharp in my mind. I leaned over and kissed her gently, settling back into the bed.
Princess Luna stirred, turning slightly as a smile spread across her face.
“Of course you can have more scones, Tia,” she tittered. “I have plenty of jam for them.”
I giggled as I enjoyed her warmth.
“Save one for me, Celestia,” I said as I started to doze again.

These were all so cute! Well done!
What about fluttercord??

I won't force them into a single chapter. It wouldn't allow me enough room for the antics.
7946705
They kinda started here in continuity.
7946715 so, it not the same year for each story?
7946760
Not for this particular one. It's just a bunch of silly fluff for Valentine's day...and a glimpse into the future of the canon couples.
7946454
The good feels, right?
7947669
Glad you liked it. There's quite a bit of me in this Vinyl.
7947669
But Vinyl was never a guy. So I don't really see the point of it.
7947304 to quote another Pony I headcanon as trans. "Mhmm"

Tough, Min.
Gonna have to wait.

Damn my missed spellings!
I prefer to use the drippings, personally, when I make mine. Makes it a bit richer, I think.

I'd just call that good ole English gravy, but potato, tomato. Also, I'm close enough to 'Cajun country that I'm afraid some scary old granmère will show up to yell at me if I mess up roux.
8030402
Good enough reason
All the same, glad you're enjoying the stories.
I just binge read your entire series I a little under two days... If you don't write professionally, you should give it a try! Your world building ability is fantastic!
TwiLuna is best ship

I’ll sooner be locked in a room with With nothing but the Twilight series to read than revisit those ghastly things. I was ten and very bad at this at the time.
And I don’t remember where but I read that her official full name was that. Kinda ran with it.
sure thanks for clearing that up

Butter's good for a light roux – like for an etouffee. It scorches way too easy to use it for a good, dark gumbo roux, though. It's hard enough to keep a dark roux from burning without having to worry about your butter getting too hot. YMMV, though.

Also? I lean towards Italian more than anything else.
Then again, an old Italian woman once told me that if it’s not sizzling enough there’s not enough butter.
8645929
Oh, you don't gotta sell me on the wonders of butter. Butter is life. It's just no good for anything high temperature. High temp frying, peanut oil's your friend.
8645952
Oh yeah.
I love this story is mostly non-canon now but it’s turned into a good dessert-tation...
I’ll show myself out
How romantic....
