Insomnium
I made some minor changes and additions towards the ending of the last chapter. It'll make more sense if you read the changes and read this later. Sorry, but I wanted to make this as smooth as possible.
"Hello...helloooo?"
Cyr opened his eyes into a bright whiteness. He couldn't feel anything. The last thing he remembered was the sound of tumbling rock, a sudden, dull ache afflicting his head, and a green glow in the darkness.
"Ah, there we are!" Cyr turned to find a very jubilant Night Princess next to him.
Cyr questioned loudly, "What are you doing?!"
"Appearing in one of your dreams, of cou- well, if you could call this a dream...this isn't the result of a self-induced slumber," Luna answered. "And I'm sure what caused it, even if you knew, wouldn't exactly help the situation."
"I feel uninformed of something...and somepony adopted the modern Equestrian language!"
Luna stated bashfully, "It was a last minute struggle. Nothing to it!"
"So, what are you going to do now that you've, you know..."
Luna continued softly, "...died?"
Cyr's eyes opened wide to the size of dinner plates. He felt a swear begin to slip out of his tongue, followed by a scream that would fully describe the amount of misery and frustration he presently-
Wait. Was that laughing?
Luna was hysterical with laughter, her body shaking as her diaphragm was forced to contract rapidly in order to compensate for her rate of mirth and her chuckles echoing through the vast infinity of Cyr's subconscious. Or wherever they were. Whether he was in the deepest realm of Tartarus, or the Elysian fields, it still mattered to Cyr whether he was truly still...living.
"Y-y-you....you s-should have seen the l-look on your face! Hahahahahah!" Luna was left breathless.
She stopped abruptly, "But you are still alive. And what you may find outside of the Dream Realm, you may not quite perceive with optimism."
"Uh, yeah. About that," Cyr began. "Why are you here, in the first place? I'm sure that you have better things to contemplate with your time, what, with an entire kingdom to rule, rather than going into the dreams of random Changelings."
"This is what constitutes as part of my public duty nowadays. For me at least," Luna informed. "And it can get quite entertaining, yet depressing at the same time. Ever tried to create nightmares for other ponies?"
Cyr, in response, stared at Luna with a look of impatient annoyance.
"Do not give me that face! Nightmares force the individual to experience and confront events or problems that they choose to ignore in real life. 'Tis an important service I do for my little ponies every moon, and like many others tonight, it is your turn."
Cyr raised an eyebrow. "Can I wake up now?"
"No. You still have a mandatory 3 minutes before you wake up from unconsciousness," Luna plainly added while checking a miniature sundial strapped on to her hoof that she didn't have on a second ago.
"So, lets finish the chit-chat, and get down to business. I have noticed that you have trouble taking love," she said.
"Um, I'm sorry?"
"You can't hide it. I've seen your memories. You have had hundreds of opportunities of satisfying your appetite on certainly high amounts of friendship, love, or any other emotion, yet you hesitate even when attempting to consume negative emotion."
Cyr sputtered, "Well, it would have been a bit rude to just...take it. For nothing in return."
"For nothing in return? When my sister and I sent you to Ponyville, you have done many noble acts, much of them at your own expense!"
Cyr answered back, "And what was I to do? Ask for assistance? Ask for love? When the topic is as delicate as a pebble on the bare edge of a precipice, especially with the aftermath of my species' involvement in a certain Royal Wedding? I'd rather starve than alienate them, or worst yet make them despise me for who I am. A creature, no, a monster of a species that I can't change any aspect of."
Luna smiled at the Behemoth. She grinned, "What is this? You care for these ponies? And I dare say, friends?"
"Cyr, you delightful fool, you value your friends enough to weaken or harm yourself for them, even if they don't consider you the same manner (though I'm sure they do!). The friendship they gift you with is not held or connected within themselves, but are ripped directly from the source, their heart and soul, to be directed towards you! The friendship they contain within themselves still exists, and only grows stronger with every ounce of love they give you. As long as they give it to you, and you alone, you do not have to refrain feeding from your only source of nourishment. They, your friends, wouldn't want that. Believe me when I say that friends would want to help you in return as much as you already helped them."
Cyr smiled back. "Thank you. But...what now?"
"Well, you will wake up. And we will hope for the best. I will try to locate you as soon as possible, but I may not have enough time. You will have to hold out for as long as you can. I've contacted my sister, so I have just begun formulating a plan."
"The last thing I saw was a green glow. A magical glow, with magic traced with the essence of an alicorn," Cyr contemplated. "It's her, isn't it? Chrysalis?"
Luna sighed, "Yes, I'm afraid. And not only are you in danger, but those you have originally purposed your exile to protect. I'm sorry."
"Don't be. It was only inevitable. This is what happens when one tries to run away from one's problems. They accumulate. But this time will be different. I'll stand up to her, and no matter what happens, only one of us will leave that forest."
Princess Luna worriedly hinted, laying a hoof on Cyr's shoulder, which was quite an awkward task as she had to slightly float with her wings in order to reach Cyr's appropriate height, "Don't do anything stupid, would you? We may have met as enemies, but I care for you now as a dear friend."
Cyr chuckled. The lighting of wherever they were presently having the conversation was dimming, leaving his vision to be swallowed by the darkness.
"No promises. But, you and your sister are so intensely trustworthy that I'm afraid I have no choice but to follow your wish to the best of my ability. Farewell, and the best of luck to you."
Cyr could barely make out the outline of the lunar alicorn next to him.
"Likewise, friend." Luna's voice echoed.
Cyr could not see anything now. His breathing became more erratic, and as a dull ache flooded throughout his carapace, the smell of humus and his fellow kin returned.
Well, let's end this.

Console is the action of "comfort[ing] (someone) at a time of grief or disappointment."
cool.
1855988
Verily, though I would like criticism or some other form of approval other than "cool".
Meh. Beggars can't be choosers. Are you enjoying it so far?

More character development for Le Monsieur in the new update!
1855990 yeah.
Preemptive word of warning to cruel dictators...
Be aware that creating a monster several dozen times your size, you may find yourself, no matter how powerful your magic, in a situation wherein the godzilla factor comes into play.
Or to put another way: Don't make monsters bigger than you if you don't want to run the risk of being STEPPED ON.

I've been bouncing around the net since the first public ISP was switched on in the late 80's/early 90's. I'm not as famous as some greymuzzles but I've done enough regrettable things to have my reputation proceed me.
Ooh, hey, new chapter! Dreamscape... (no, not the cheesy movie) And Luna's been taking trolling lessons from Celestia? Say it isn't so! And from the way the dialog went, it seem like the author wants to wrap this up soon. Nooooooo! It was just getting good! Huge lumbering behemoth changeling is best wanna-be pony doncha'know. (And I still wanna see him being used as a jungle gym for all the fillies/colt in school)
Refrain: To avoid
Fasting: Not eating
Both definitions are paraphrased, but they are true nonetheless. So the sentence reads:
Perhaps remove from fasting
Society of Syntax Socialists,

It's dangerous to go alone! Cyr, take this!
1856547
DOH!
Thanks. I had to type this up till 1 in the morning. I was a bit...absent-minded.
But I hope I've done a good job so far!
1856721
A bit too optimistic for what's gonna come next...
But thanks for the song choice anyway!
1855991 Yes. Infact... Take this! Its dangerous to go alone! (hands over summoning device to call forth female demi alicorn thats was bred as a half hylian half timelord semi OP super soldier)
And this! Just dont use this one as a library slave.

1857159 B-but…
I very much enjoy these stories, and this chapter seems like an interesting break from the usual, and allowed you to add the suspense of him waking up. Plus, Luna is my favorite pony (Besides Scootaloo) so it's always nice to get to see her. Keep up the good work, Kishin!
1857291 Guile's theme beats everything.
1857291
WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON!
I leave to play Counter Strike for one hour and this is what happens?!
...I like the gifs tho
1857308
Oh yeah. I'm heading towards a more somber type of writing...if that's OK with you guys.
But thanks for the compliment!
1857321 Its one of my trademarks. I have a tendency to post gifs. I also ask these questions to every author that replies to me! Why no Doctor? Why no pony Link? And thats all for now.
1857316
1857328
You're the author, it doesn't bother me. I gave up writing anything big some time ago.
1857330
No Doctor, because the universe is too complicated, and you need a specific type of humor that takes years of comedic honing.
And no pony Link because...well...that's like saying people should write pony Mario. The plot is overdone (and between you and me, people are starting to favor same-sex realtionships in stories, which is something that you can't write with Doctor and Link without pissing off the fanbase)
1857342 Yes, it beats that too.
1857348 Also, that's creepy…
1857391
What is?
1857408
I find it creepy how many people write romance stories on this site.
I mean… Some are very good, and a lot are the self-inserts…
I just think that the shipping is getting out of hand…
FiM itself is basically an animated SoL story with tidbits of comedy added to it. It teaches lessons while still keeping interests in the viewers.
I guess that what I'm saying is…
…
…
I dunno, what was I saying…?
1857419
Well tell me one time in human history when romance was not coherently written in the majority of entertaining literature, and I will eat my shoe.
If you don't like it, that's fine. But it's part of who we are, and lets face it. Romance and shipping, when done right, tend to had a little more "zing" to a story.
But I agree with you on "self-inserts". For example, There are way too many OctaVinyl stories that just...well...talk about them rambunctiously drawling on in sexual innuendos and write about the usual clop scenes. No character development or background romance.
But if you have a problem with same-sex relationships (if that was what you were referring to)....
...well, that's an issue you may want to violently confront with somewhere else.
1857640 I agree, but I think the mane thing is that it has to be done right, or it just becomes a loose addition to the story, not an integrated section to said story. I have seen some romance fics intentionally have it on the side, but most nowadays are just too stupid and boring to even read.
I find myself loving the comedy and SoL fics to be more enjoyable and (in my mind) stick around in my noggin longer than the romances. That's because they have more meaning (or more ridiculousness) than the romances. Plus, they have more original ideas floating around than romances do (Ex: Dash gets hurt; other Mane 6 pony helps her; suddenly they're lovers).
……
……
…I'm ranting aren't I…?
Alternate rant:

1856721
Haha! To meems in one sentence. I salute you sir.
1857944 I aim to please.
1857666 Well thats easy, it was the day Discord took a break
That or the age of dinosaurs. Either one.
1857977 That's what I said, but I cut out the ranting section.
1857386 Well.. you win.
I just spent 2 hours dealing with an IDIOT troll. He killed the fun, throttled the sarcasm, raped the wit, set fire to the cleverness, and mutilated the irony. And no memes eithe.r, He took all the fun outta being trolled. And I got no fight left in me. So.. I concede. Congrats.
1857348 Ah, but there are many possibilities with both characters..characters that have multiple versions of themselves and can be given new versions... And where in the entire omniverse/overarching temporal cycle did you ever get the idea that I meant shipping the two together? Oh lord! In Hylia''s name! I think I just threw up a little! Link could make an excellent companion... but the Doctor is NOT gay.. and neither is Link.. (generally).
1859832
1859843
Just saying....
Meh, maybe I was wrong. But people are always looking for stories that have "new" and "fresh" ideas.
And, maybe, somepony will have the guts to make a Link or Doctor Who crossover that really capture the essence of their character. Who knows. But Doctor Who IMO is a bit overdone on the site, and Link...well search up some of the Link crossovers...you'll see.
1859832>>1861105
Guys come on. No trolling.
1862023 You stick in the mud…
hello i was wondering if i can add your story to my group "villains of Equestria" you see i am the only member so if i add your story the group might get some notice so i would love to have this story in the group . o and feel free to join if you want to or tell people about it
1862185
Sure man. Whatever floats your boat!
1862188 thank you
1861105 Indeed. Thats why I like you. Now THATS clever trolling! You put the fun in it for me. Thanks. Just got a flu shot... I feel lousy. Thanks for the pick-me-up.
1862023 No.. It wasn't him. Just some arse hole on FB. Usually, I LIKE being trolled.. its very funny... I love seeing how clever my opponent is. Its called passive-aggressive trolling. If you enjoy being trolled... then you are not really being trolled..hence, you troll the troll. But when the fun gets dragged out by some lowlife halfwit, I lose it and stop enjoying the acivity. So its not perfect. But it works often.
1863962 Yo dawg, we herd u like trolling…
1862019 Oh don't I know it! As a zelda fan, the first thing I did was look up LoZ crossovers. Most were either mal-written, had a terrible plot, did not do LoZ characters justice, were completely inaccurate, or were too short/on hiatus/dead/slow to update. But here is food for thought... Hylian timefields. Hylian temporal dimensional rules are lax and vague. So you can treat and percieve and manipulate time in all sorts of ways. Space too. By replicating a hylian timefield... then synchronizing to local time... one could bend time to their will fairly easily... as long as the rules they mess with don't collapse in on themselves or come into contact with another hylian timefield. IMAGINE what the TARDIS could do with such a manifestation of time! Huh... im ranting... well.. ill be off now!
1863977 Oh, I do. The witty kind. Not the gritty kind. So.. whatcha got? Try me.
