Welcome to 1,000 years B.S. (Before Starlight). What a grand time to be alive.
This is a time when Luna was still appreciated. When every year, the longest night was still celebrated with festivities and fun and moon-themed sugary stuffs.
Luna's life is great. Ponies are happy to see her, she's actually needed to solve problems in the kingdom, and she and Celestia share a close, sisterly bond. Nothing in the six months from the Winter Solstice to the Summer Solstice could change that, right?

Damn...
I like it, but I'm not sure if Dark/Comedy is the most fitting tag combination.
I see it more like a Drama, maybe sad.

Thanks! I wouldn't say tagging is my strong suit so the help is appreciated.
There's an odd amount of mood whiplash, and we really would have benefited from seeing a more gradual slide, but overall it was ambitions and fairly solid.
Nice story!
This is the best frickin story ever in the universe.
I like the description of the winter solsticeļ¼
Why "Before Starlight" is the date marker, wouldn't " Before Twilight" make more sense as she became a princess and eventually succeeded Celestia.
