That was sad, but very nice at the same time.

I like that Luna has a very good reason to be Nightmare Moon as well. Maybe in time she'll want to be Luna again.

Nice, i love seeing this ship. this was a great read,

I'm glad you enjoyed it

I think this is a nice little story with a good premise. Because of that, I feel I should offer it some constructive criticism.

A chill descends upon the room as Nightmare Moon's cold, otherworldly aura envelops everything in its path. The temperature seemed to drop, and Big Mack felt a subtle, bone-deep shiver, as if touched by a ghostly hand. A supernatural fragrance fills the air, a mix of ancient dust, and the scent of a distant and desolate night. It was a scent that permeated the senses and added to the unsettling atmosphere, as if the very essence of the night had been distilled into a haunting aroma that heralds Nightmare Moon's arrival.

First off, I think this does a good job setting the atmosphere. That said, it slips into present tense - the chill descends rather than descended - which is somewhat jarring given that the rest of the fic uses past tense. I also noted that Big Mac is mispelled in a couple instances, though that should be a quick fix.

"The night I first saw you was shocking” Big Mac Asserted earnestly. I had seen Luna that same morning, I remember saying goodbye to her when she rushed off to deal with an emergency, and how that night I found a fearsome Alicorn in our bedroom, claiming to be the same pony".

Again, the sentiment here is good, but I feel the execution is a bit flawed. A couple of typing errors aside, commas should be put at the end of quotations before dialogue tags and any punctuation should be put inside the quotation marks rather than outside. Something like this:

"The night I first saw you was shocking," Big Mac asserted earnestly.

It's a pretty minor thing, but I think it goes a long way towards making the fic read better.

I'd also suggest taking some time in the later part of the fic to explore Big Mac's feelings in more depth, since they're the crux of the story. You do a pretty good job of it early on, but couple of paragraphs towards the end describing what's going through his head (and how that changes) would do wonders for the pacing and really elevate this to another level.

is that art from one of the comics?

I really appreciate the help, I'll be reading this a few times to memorize the suggestions to improve my grammar.

Yes, super old issue lol

Maybe I'm seeing things where there aren't any, but I like the idea that, upon seeing her sister's body, Luna realizes that lines were crossed, bridges were burned, and to avoid conflicts, posibly war, that endanger her subjects, she decides to put on a mask of a mare you wouldn't want to mess with; If you didn't want to deal with the Nice mare, now you will have to deal with the Nightmare. But to sell this idea, she has to go 'The night will last forever!!' But in order not to throw her kingdom into a new civil war as in the past, she shows sufficient mental stability, making audible comments that this is all thanks to her husband, and if something were to happen to him, she would drop the moon on the world.

And now I want to see how this all flies with the rest of the cast. Would Cadence and the rest of the Elements of Harmony agree with Nightmare Moon bringing eternal night and ruling Equestria as an apparent iron-hoofed tyrant? IF Big Mac, as her husband, was not in the gist, I doubt the others were.

Love me some lunamac

I do like this concept of expanding this universe and seeing how other ponies would react. I'll have to think about maybe doing a sequel.

I'm glad to hear that! And good luck with it!

Big Mac had been happily married to Luna for several years before tragedy caused Luna to revert back to Nightmare Moon.

How soon until we get a story elaborating on this? Will we ever get a story like that at all?

Maybe, I just posted the sequel

Luna placed her foreleg around him. "Of course it doesn't, saying goodbye to somepony doesn't mean anything, what matters is the memories you have of them, how you feel about them, and in our case, experiences that we have yet to share together." Big Mac was taken aback by this, and was at a loss for words. "I'm still the same pony you married, the same pony you shared all those wonderful nights together with as we trotted together under the soft moonlight, and I still love you despite all that has happened. I know this has been difficult for you, and I want you to feel as happy as you did when I looked like this." she gestured to herself with her other hoof. "I'm sure that whatever problems we have from this, we can work out. You just need to talk to me; I care about you, and I hope you still care about me."

This was a weirdly beautiful paragraph. Aside from some grammar issues, this was a wonderful story.

I'm glad you liked it. I just touched up the paragraph in question too :)
