Dear Princess Celestia,
Since you sent me to Ponyville to learn the magic of friendship, I learned that there is a world outside my books. It’s a world worth sharing, and I have you to thank for showing it to me. I met ponies who would stand by me and by each other through every trial, and I am proud and honored to call them all my true and lifelong friends. I knew that my studies of friendship were far from over but it took somepony very special to show me the next step.
“Twilight?”
Over the past several months I learned that beyond the bonds of friendship lay new possibilities which could only be explored by two ponies who felt as one.
“Twilight Sparkle?”
“Just a moment, Luna. Let me finish the first chapter. Er, paragraph.”
“Thou art rambling.”
“This isn’t rambling, it’s…”
“Speaking much while saying little? I believe this is still the definition of ‘rambling’.”
“I am not rambling! This has to be said delicately, and getting to the point too quickly could ruin the suspense.”
“This is not the next Great Equestrian Novel, Twilight. Perhaps I should assist in penning this letter, in thy voice? It does concern me rather intimately.”
“Maybe you’re right. Here, you give it a try.”
Dearest Sister,
“Luna!”
“Ah, apologies. Force of habit.”
Dear Princess Celestia,
Of late I have discovered that my bed is no longer cold, for thy Sister warms it for me. I find her quite fetching, and we enjoy playing ‘Princess and Royal Vizier’ among other diversions.
“What are you writing? Why are you hiding the scroll? Let me see that!”
In addition I have declared Luna's kisses to be quite legendary - I believe my exact words were ‘I should pursue a Doctorate in Love, because I could write a dissertation about your lips’.
“Give me that quill! Hand it over! Give! Me! That! QUILL!”
Your Sister’s One-Time Royal Concubine,
Twilight Sparkle
P. S. Please forward from the Royal Library a copy of the Kamare Sutra. Luna’s birthday is coming up.
“Let’s put that one on the kindling pile, okay? Please? I see that smirk! There, that’s better. Would you actually have sent that to your sister?”
“Once the scroll is sealed, my Twilight, it looks like any other. It would not be the first time Spike has unwittingly dispatched some truly fascinating reading material to Celestia.”
“Wait, what? Which? Oh, never mind. This is supposed to be a friendship report, after all, so maybe I should have written it as a report to begin with. Let me see, where are my notes?”
“You kept notes? Even during -”
“No, no, no. Afterwards. Two volumes, actually.”
Dear Princess Celestia,
I am pleased to report that my overall friendship level has increased by sixteen point six percent, though the aggrandized total is closer to a twenty four percent increase thanks to Luna’s stature. I first noticed that she meant more to me than merely a friend as I began to document an average fifteen beat per minute increase in my heart rate when I was around her, a phenomenon I did not observe in other typical friendship situations. The quotient of
“Luna, what are you doing?”
“Sleeping. Does it appear otherwise?”
“No, I mean the snoring.”
“Thy dryly clinical report hath drugged me. Indeed, I believe you have significantly improved on Starswirl’s own ‘Sleep of Ages’ spell.”
“Very funny. If you can do better, then by all means, by my guest.”
“So I shall.”
Dearest Sister,
It is my sworn duty to inform you that the Night Sovereign hath taken a mate. By Lunar Law the subject of which hath been ensconced with all appropriate titles and responsibilities, including Concubinage. We therefore request thy leave to pursue our duties both Heavenly and romantically in tandem with our mate, for her status as
“No. This is a friendship report, not a Royal Proclamation.”
“Do you not wish to announce our relationship? To have heralds carry our good news to all corners of Equestria?”
“I do, but not quite like that. Maybe something less formal?”
“I am a mare of formality, Twilight. For centuries, the comfort of ritual and formality were all that kept me whole.”
“Well… Could we write this together? You can make a formal announcement later, if you like. But let’s get this one to Celestia first, and then we’ll take it from there. She deserves to know.”
“You are correct as usual, love. Your scant few years do not betray the wisdom you possess.”
“Stop, you’re making me blush! Now, how do we start?”
Dear Celestia,
We are in love. We understand that only a Royal of equal or higher rank may perform a marriage of another Royal. We therefore ask if you would consent to perform a ceremony…
Wait, what?
And you just broke my "Cute Meter" I expect to be compensated within the week.
This story never disappoints.

Either Alicorn Twilight, or an arrangement like in Apotheosis...
D'Awwwwww
Brilliant. Just freaking brilliant. I loved Luna's letters particularly.
1736503
I've actually had a chapter with that ending written for a while and wondered if I should post it. Maybe I'll add it with a tag for "alternate future #1".
1736436
Could be what Fausticorn said above. Could also just be Luna reverting back to Royal speech, meaning she's asking Celestia in a formal way to let her return to Canterlot with Twilight in tow, effectively ending Twi's whole "learn about Friendship in Ponyville" project. Chapter ideas, chapter ideas...
We therefore request thy leave to pursue our duties both Heavenly and romantically in tandem with our mate
........................oh I see what you did there, very smart my friend!!
There are not enough letters in the universe that meets the required length for d'aww'ing at this chapter.
1736785
This was a fun one to write! Trivia: I wrote this earlier than most of Luna's Librarian, but I lost the chapter! Couldn't find the .docx file and TMP forgot to tag my writing prompt submission that day. This afternoon I happened to remember a couple of phrases, googled it, and found the TMP prompt. Otherwise this one would've been lost forever.
You finally did it...you blew the world up again...you know what!? Screw this, I'm going to live on mars. Hopefully you don't D'aaawww Nuke that planet as well...

Glad you didn't lose this forever, better not almost lose anything else! /emptythreat
Another great chapter!
Damn it! Why can't I give this more than 1 thumbs up?
what a start into the day^^ with a chap of one of my most fav stories^^ Also, teasing Luna is awesome^^ My stomach hurts from laughing^^
1736890
This was adorable. I especially liked mischievous Luna writing the embarrassing letter and trying to keep Twilight from it.
...and now after I pick up what's left of an exploded heart, I'm left pondering what un-proofread scrolls poor Spike sent to Princess Celestia. I'm certain they made for nice reading material in the evening hours of the royal bedchamber.
That was hilarious.
I loved Luna's "Dear Celly, your sister is hot!" letter. I have a wonderful mental image of a Celestia spit-take.
1736605
Yes... Please just... Yes!
DO IT! PLEASE! xD
Dearest Sister,
I'm fucking your student and I love her.
Sincerely,
Luna
There's a letter.
so much d'awwwwww!
1737622
i wanted that letter.
1737622
It should be done
You've done it - you're a murderer sir. I'm writing this as the last vestiges of life leaves my fingertips - I laughed all through this chapter and finally died at the end.
Random thoughts follow:
Two. Volumes. Of. Notes. I demand to see them - geeze Twilight
---
Was totally expecting "Over 9000" somewhere in there
---
I would totally have gone with the first letter and told Luna to bugger off - as much as I like Luna, I think the first letter was the most appropriate
1737622 Like "The Dark Apprentice"?
Dear Princess Celestia,
So I slept with your sister last night and it gave me magical powers...
1736453
You will. With more CUTE!
I love this chapter!
Warm and sweet!
1737622
Brilliant! I like kirbuu's ref, too (The Dark Apprentice)
Dear Princess Celestia:
I had sex with your baby sister and fell in love with her.
It's briliant and exciting. I wonder if this is my next level of studies.
Sincerely,
Your Faithful Student and Your Sister in Law in the future,
Twilight Sparkle

Mars was his testing planet.

Well shit...looks lie I'm leaving this solar system all together then.
Welp, there's only one way to sum up my feels reading this.

An absolute gem of a chapter.
I died a little at Luna's letter
That was hysterical.
You didn't like it when your brother sent you a letter to tell you he was getting married? Did you?
dtlux1
Another great chapter
Oh, and should I call you Kai? How's your supply of protoblood doing?

If this should be our final stand, we will stand together with pride
We will honour the past, and fight to the last, it will be a good way to die.
It matters not, if the cause is lost, and we can not stop the tide
We will fight to the end, and then fight again, it will be a good way to die.
You know, I might just have to turn that passage into a songfic... And no, I haven't written a Lexx crossover. Yet.
Only three words are needed:

... Okay, all of this jumping around is annoying and irritating. Could you just make use of the re-ordering chapters tool that Fimfic has now? Please?
2094637 I'm quite enjoying this writing style to be honest. It's something different. Not to mention, this story is gold! So many Dawwwws and laughs. Keep up the good work!
2280473 I agree whole-heartedly! The order doesn't seem to matter much to the story here. I'm somewhat tempted to call this style "pulp-romance" for lack of a better name.
My gosh, that final letter was just so adorable! This was probably my favorite story of the bunch.
My sides! You killed them! I can no longer laugh as much as I wanted with all those letters! Also my feels. Take them! TAKE THEM!
