This story takes place shortly after Princess Luna's release from Nightmare Moon in Season 1 Episode 2.

Rarity is surprised when the newly returned Princess Luna comes in to her shop.

The last time they met was when Twilight faced down Nightmare Moon.

Has she come seeking revenge or does she have another reason?

The Great War was brutal, but thanks to the near inhospitable frozen lands of the north, the Crystal Empire was spared much of the Changeling's Wrath.

While Empress Nightmare Moon leads the battered armies of the Lunar Empire in the occupation of the former Changeling Hives, and reclamation efforts to the south, the Empire is left to its own devices.

Governess Rarity has ruled the Crystal Empire for the last two years since her appointment by the great Empress, Nightmare Moon. With the skills developed from running her fashion business, the Crystal Empire has flourished beyond the imaginations of anycreature.

This prosperity and her renown fairness has made these lands a bastion for anycreature (changeling included) looking for a chance to live in harmony- a true Equestria. But all good things must come to an end. The wars to the south are winding down, and without the need to lead her armies, Nightmare Moon is ready to assess the state of her Empire.

What better place to start than the jewel in the Equestrian Crown?

Rarity tries to make the ultimate sacrifice for love.

Too bad Twilight doesn't believe in no-win scenarios.

This story is a sequel to Fractured Moon

A week after being freed from her prison by Nightmare Moon, Celestia has adapted to her new situation, she is prohibited from being involved in politics or any kind of decision making, Celestia isn't even allowed control over her precious sun. But this has given her the opportunity for a new career and she is about to open her own bakery.

Not all prisons have bars and guard towers. Celestia will experience first hoof how it is to live in Nightmare Moon's Lunar Empire. She will have to learn to be watched constantly and have every move of her observed and noted.

The Lunar Empire is firmly under Nightmare Moon's control, but there are still those that prefer the old way's over the new ones. And of course there is the issue of Rarity's remaining friends, where are they and what are they planning.

This is not a direct sequel to Fractured Moon but I still recommend reading it first to get some more context about the founding Lunar Empire and Celestia's release.

Set in the Equestria at War universe, but you don't need to play the mod to understand this story.

Luna after seeing the horrible conditions of batponies living in Equestria, being treated as second rate citizens, and seeing Celestia unable to do anything about it, has turned into Nightmare Moon again and declared war against Equestria and Princess Celestia.

The elements of Harmony have split up with Rarity being touched by the plight of the batponies choosing to side with Luna and later Nightmare Moon, while the other elements sided with Celestia.

Now after a long and bitter war Nightmare Moon is victorious and has formed the Lunar Empire. But will building a new nation be as easy as destroying one?

Rarity has had a long day working at Carousel Boutique. Her marefriend Princess Luna, however, has had an even longer one dealing with Equestrian politics and all that comes with it. But Rarity knows exactly how to help Luna relax, and she's going to enjoy every minute of it.

The second installment in my shipping fluff series.

This story is technically a sequel to Luna in the Sky with Diamonds, but it's not necessary to have read that in order to enjoy this.

It all started as a dress commission for the Royal Sisters, but now Rarity has found herself in the unique position of helping Princess Luna become a proper mare before a very important political summit, both for the future of Equestria on the world stage and for Luna personally. Can she help the Regent of the Moon, or will she irreparably damage Equestria's standing?

Princess Luna has never heard of Hearts and Hooves Day. It's hard to believe, but when you've been gone a thousand years, you tend to miss a few things here and there. Eager to learn about the holiday and what a "date" is, she's recommended to see Rarity to see what all there is to dating. The fashionista's solution? A practice date. However, by the end of the night, the two might drop the "practice" in practice date.
