Trixie unexpectedly visits Luna, who must scramble to accomodate her. The visit is special, so Luna wants to get it just right. Getting a visitor on the moon is rare after all.
Frank means that she wasn't Luna when she was part of the moon, she was Nightmare Moon. Also likely wasn't just on the surface either.
But that is sort of the traditional way to view it even if it's like 98% sure that couldn't possibly be it, so can't judge too hard.
Essentially, looking at the logical issues with key, pivotal points of the story. Such as how the thestral can accomplish what took an alicorn wielding all six of the elements of harmony to do, being ON the moon rather than discorporated in it (mare in the moon wouldn't be there if she was just sitting on the moon's surface), and that she was Nightmare Moon during her extended visit. Granted, any one of these might require a different story or something, so personally I don't find much of a problem.
8158029 Yep, goal is every Friday, and to try to keep a chapter ahead in writing.
8158733 Probably, hopefully the ending was good for that kind of a transition.
8159486 Hmm, some of the explanation would be minor spoilers. I will say that Trixie's 'banishment' is different from Luna's.
And while it makes the most sense for Luna to be asleep in the moon, rather than awake on it, I have seen stories that take that concept before. Plus the 'mare on the moon' face could easily be explained as a sign that she is still banished, more of a warning system than anything else.
Those 'easy to explain' bits are generally due to a lack of information meaning anything someone comes up with will probably work. Though it makes more sense for her to have been merged with the moon rather than sitting on the surface. But like I said, since season one's "Progress" fic which blew up the whole woobie Luna image and made it super popular in the fandom, that is the traditional way of viewing it - Luna bored on the moon's surface which is patently ridiculous. So I can't judge you for going with that for your story, because it's almost as old as the fandom itself.

Indeed, the lack of information allows writers to fill that vacumn with lots of less than logical explanations sometimes.

I am one hundred percent with you on that. It would be unnecessarily cruel of the elements to force her to be awake the entire time on the moon, long lived or not. That is kind of a mental death trap. Buuut, it worked for the story I wanted to make. Usually I go the logical route, but, if I did that, this story would have been a lot harder, probably not work at all, really.

Huh, I don't know that fic, I've never read a story about Luna being awake on the moon per se. I have read ones where she came back from the moon and that was the case, causing all types of issues due to mental degradation and insanity. Ones where Nightmare slept and came back time to time, forcing Luna to suffer the brunt of time's grindstone to her mind instead of herself.
This is as close to a silly concept as I've ever touched on, I think. I do consider it a silly concept, but it worked for what I wanted to try out. I mean, there is literally fics of Twilight and her brother getting it on, to the tune of 'Let it go' even. So a silly concept? Yes. Completely out there in comparison to other silly concepts? Nah.
Please, could we have some moar?

Gonna Give it a thumbs up and adding it to favs!

Precisely true!
Luna is nuts in the best possible way, here. I kinda feel sorry for Trixie, kinda wish I was in her position. :p
This reminds me of the end of God of War.
Welp, Luna's gone crazy. I feel bad for both of them.
That's not the saying, Luna! The proper saying's about trash and treasure!
