- >you're married to Luna
- >you used to be happy as fuck
- >Celestia is next to you on the balcony
- >She places a hoof on your shoulder
- >Your eyes are drawn to the moon
- >You shake it off, she doesn't try again
- >The two of you stand in silence for several minutes
- >"How do you feel?"
- >her speech is informal
- >that just insults you
- >you're not her family
- >law be damned, you don't want to be related to her
- >you let her words linger, not sure how to answer
- "What do you think?"
- >your fists are clenched in rage
- >she's untouchable, but just for once
- >you wish all the magic was gone from the world so you could hurt her
- >"You hate me."
- >Luna's rooms and buildings are yours
- >Bound by marriage, you inherited it all
- >but they're empty without her
- >and they're forbidden by Equestrian law
- >"It was not for me to choose."
- >you still remember how sweet she was
- >how you would spend the nights together
- >curled up under her moon, admiring the sky
- >"It was hard for me as well, anon."
- >she was always talking about how no one admired her night like you did
- >you always loved the night, loved the chill air
- >and this monster took her away
- "To send your only sister away? Instead of help?"
- >you're trying to keep your voice even
- >it's not working, you know she can tell
- >"There were...other forces at work."
- >always blaming
- >it was never her fault, and it will never be
- >all the histories will reflect that
- >and soil your sweet wife's name
- "Ego? Pride? Megalomania!?"
- >you don't care, you're shouting now
- >you've turned to look at her, and there's tears
- >crocadile tears no doubt
- >she'll never get your pity
- >but you can tell she's hurt by your words
- >and it feels good
- >you can never touch her physically
- >but she can't block words
- >"You don't know how far she fell, anon."
- "No I don't, she was right there with me last week!"
- >eternal darkness, monsters in the dark, all in one day
- >the most uncreative lie her beloved highness ever made
- "All you do is keep lying to justify yourself, there is _no_ justification for your crime."
- >it feels cathartic, yelling at the princess
- >you never want to stop
- "Sending a hurt sister away so you don't have to deal with her."
- >she's looking away, there's no more eye contact
- "A tyrant masquerading as a princess, you just want the moon to yourself."
- >you jab a finger at the perfect glowing circle
- "That's _hers_ and it will never be yours."
- >she's turning away, she's walking away from you
- "What, jealous? That ponies can look at the moon but not your sun?"
- >you're panting, blood rushing from the rage and shouting
- >there's no answer from her
- >she's walking away
- >you glare at her in rage as she leaves Luna's - your - room
- >you return to the balcony, looking up at her
- >staring at your wife's pride and prison, you fall asleep
- >head on the balcony, hands hung over
- >"Do you feel better, anon?"
- >You don't know how you managed to not fall
- >it's morning, sunrise
- >and the tyrant is beside you again
- "Get out."
- >"They want you gone."
- >as expected, her fearmongering worked
- >they're afraid of you
- >you don't know why the princess hasn't killed you yet
- >but you won't have her soil your wife's name
- >"I can't help but oblige."
- >so this is it, you're going to be stripped of everything
- >not that there was much left
- >all you had was destroyed in the "battle" Celestia had
- >even this room was temporary
- >her guards are beside you, you're outside Canterlot
- >she looks pained, she's probably faking
- >she reads off a scroll
- >"For collaboration with a traitor and high treason, thou art hereby exiled from Equestria."
- >your carriage arrives
- >all you have are your clothes and a bag of items
- >among them a locket you had given to your wife
- >for better or worse, she left it behind
- >it was the only nonessential thing you were allowed to bring to Canterlot
- >everything else was property of the government
- >now it's the only thing you're allowed to bring out
- >you're shoved unceremoniously into the carriage
- >the butts of their spears are just for humiliation
- >they could've easily magicked you in
- >the carriage starts moving and you fall asleep
- >you wake up, you're in front of the abandoned castle
- >a sick joke, technically outside of Equestrian borders now
- >you don't want to look at it, it's too painful
- >forest surrounds you, it's dark and you're hungry
- >the castle is empty, you had to admit it was fast
- >moving out in just a week, relocating the capital
- >your stomach rumbles, but you know the castle has no food
- >you've never hunted in your life, living like royalty for so long
- >you clutch your locket tightly, it wasn't long enough
- >you start heading towards it
- >soon you're lost
- >this was stupid
- >you passed some blue flowers on the way
- >they didn't look at all edible
- >you did feel a little weird after encountering them
- >everything seems a little darker now
- >the ground seems to have gotten a little gray
- >you hear some growlings from behind a tree
- >you start scrambing up a nearby tree in fear
- >you don't even have a weapon
- >and of course you fall because you haven't climbed a tree in your life
- >and for some reason the tree disappears
- >now you're confused
- >everything looks flat for some reason, the sky is black
- >and the ground looks gray
- >like the moon
- >the growling subsides away
- >there's nothing to carry the sound
- >you always loved the moon
- >you lean down, picking up some dust
- >was that blue flower some hallucinogen?
- >you can still breathe
- >maybe your wife brought you here
- >something brings you down
- >it's Luna
- >you've never been so happy in your life
- >she's giggling, her familiar blue form warm against your body
- "I've missed you."
- >"And I you, my love."
- >you look her in those gorgeous eyes
- >the moment seems to hold still forever
- >the same magic when you first met
- >a hand runs over her face just for a reality check
- >she smiles at your touch
- >it's really her
- >she leans down, you lean forward
- >one more kiss
- [spoiler]>the timberwolf finishes its meal, satisfied, and moves on[/spoiler]
- >you're Luna
- >it's been several months since you've returned home
- >everything's as it's been before
- >in Canterlot at home, at least
- >minus the most important part of your life
- >the nights are quiet as always
- >some stargazing ponies every now and then
- >your sister still keeps a close eye on you
- >she keeps you away from ponies as much as possible
- >telling you that you're not to be seen too often
- >it's just the same as it was before
- >it's night again, you're looking at your moon
- >from the same balcony you and anon stayed and chat all night
- >it's not the same without him, and you take flight
- >you just felt like it, it's a full moon, the landscape is illuminated
- >you're flying for several hours, you enjoy the wind through your mane
- >you haven't had wind for years
- >just a joyride through the night again
- >but this time with no extra weight on your back
- >you fly over a forest, landing on a nearby tree
- >it's isolated
- >ponies seem to avoid here
- >you can see a view of your old castle
- >bitter memories flood your mind
- >you can't help but feel something draw you to this spot
- >you dive through the treetops
- >something glitters in the dirt
- >you approach it, it's golden, but covered with dirt
- >you unearth it and your heart cries
- >it's a locket, the one anon gave you
- >you never found it, and you thought it lost forever
- >Celestia told you anon had left the new capital in frustration
- >maybe he ended here, trying to get back to the castle
- >and left it
- >you pick it up
- >"Luna, my love" engraved on it
- >the scratch where he accidentally stumbled giving it to you
- >you sit down, tears in your eyes
- >memories of a time that'll never return come flooding in
- >the only one who appreciated your night
- >your only friend
- >your love
- >you spend the night mourning anon
