Brothers and Sisters by Alphacat
When Princess Luna goes missing, Private Lucky Break knows there's more at work than a simple breach of court protocol.
For most, Hearth's Warming is an occasion to celebrate family and friends, a time for reflection and goodwill to all of Equestria's residents. But for two ponies, their relationship with the holiday is much more complicated.
Lucky, batpony soldier of the Night Guard, is assigned to escort Princess Luna to the grand reopening of her Night Court mere months after her return to Equestria. Everything goes well at first, until a visitor inadvertently offends the princess. Incensed, she cancels court and sends everypony away.

Mother of the Moon by Nobel Thought
Luna is a happy filly, and wants her sister to be happy too. She doesn't know why Celestia cries at night, so she's going to raise the sun and let her big sister sleep in.
Celestia watches her waiting to raise the sun from inside her chambers, torn between a love that she wants to acknowledge and the machinations of politics that have kept her from doing so.
What would a good sister do?
What would a good mother do?
A Sun Without a Moon by Mourning Zephyr
After Celestia humiliates her at a dinner, Luna storms off and ends up snooping around in her sister's room. There, she stumbles upon the journal Celestia kept immediately after the banishment of Nightmare Moon.

Trying to patrol the dreams of every pony in Equestria can be stressful. To ease her burden, Luna retools the Tantabus to turn nightmares into good dreams instead of vice versa. Aware of her mistakes from last time, she tests it out thoroughly, making sure there are no unexpected behaviors. And as far as she can tell, there are none.

Faced with the prospect of possibly creating life, Luna seeks out Twilight's advice and assistance. With a little luck, they can get this all sorted out before the sun rises.
When They Were Young: To The Moon! by Mr101

Celestia hopes that studying Twilight Sparkle's Friendship Reports will at least help her get out of her shell, though an unusually talkative servant may just help in that regard...and is anypony else getting strange feelings from that statue out in the gardens?
Bitter/Sweet by Estee
It's the oldest chocolate shop in Equestria, the very first -- and on this night, it's also out of business. The final treats have been sold, the vultures have already begun to circle the equipment, and the proprietor polishes the remains out of pure habit while wondering what to do with her life. But that question will have to wait, as she has one more customer to take care of.
The very first.
Day Dreams and Nightmares by Warren Hutch
The Princess of the Night walks her sister's dreams, bringing a peaceful night's sleep after her return from the moon.
A simple little pony tale that will hopefully relax the reader as well.
The Moon Glows Gently by Eakin
When you're the immortal ruler of an entire kingdom, the most important quality to possess is a passion for your work. No princess can rule her nation if she can't find it in herself to give her best effort every day and night. Luna knows this better than anypony, and puts her whole heart into everything she does.
But passion, unless tempered by restraint, has a way of biting one in the flank.

Comedy
Celestia of Equestria's Tonic Experiment by Acologic
'So much of life, it seems to me, is determined by pure randomness.'
'Comradeship consists of rubbing shoulders jocularly with a competitor.'
A story of madness, coincidence, truth and mundanity, and all of it delightfully bonding.
Princesses Celestia, Luna and Cadence have long enjoyed subjecting their Tartarus inmates to a variety of gruesome tasks, including tiddlywinks and Monopoly. It's time to up the ante, however, for when a bet is struck between sisters, it simply must follow through. Enter the most extraordinary substance known to ponykind, aptly named, suitably avoided – Granny Fanny's Cold-Fire Brewed Filly-Delphian Tonic Water, with the Kick of Two Very Angry Mules.
Dragon Greed is Good by Snuffy
Reforming the tax and legal system had been her responsibility a thousand years ago, and it will be so again. There have been many changes during her millennium of absence, but the fundamentals always stayed the same. Ponies would find ways to circumvent the laws for their own benefit, and it was her job to make sure that didn't happen—in the most direct way possible.

Every week, Equestria's princesses take a break from ruling their kingdom and discuss life. Usually over coffee.
Here are their assorted conversations.
Moonstuck: The Novelisation by Eastonia
A Princess in a mood of reminiscence.
A sufficiently curious audience.
A pensieve that strangely enough would only work in grayscale.
There are a bunch of stories left untold by the creators of the show. Luna just happens to be the star of one of them. After all, if you were now Princess Luna and all of a sudden you were stuck on the moon... What would you do?
A story about a humour blog about a pony on the moon.
Written with the permission of egophiliac.

A War of Words - The Opening of the Guard by Georg
The history of war may be written by the winner, but the Royal Historian is the one who provides the notes and background to the writer. The recent events that some have called ‘Mare Wars’ or ‘The Invasion of the Barracks’ are no exception. The Royal Historian has painstakingly compiled this folder of notes and background material on what should more accurately be called, ‘The Opening of the Guard.’
Please remember to return the folder back to the Royal Historian when you have completed reading, in the event we gather more material that needs to be included.
Musty Pages, Royal Historian
A Hell of a Time by Aragon
The princesses gave their magic to Twilight to prevent Tirek from stealing it. As a result, they end up stuck in Tartarus.
Marvelous place, Tartarus. Really brings ponies together. The fact that things manage to go downhill here says a lot about the wonders of family and alicornhood.
Drop of Moonshine by Pen Stroke
After a long day of ruling Equestria, the Royal Sisters need a chance to unwind. Luna's solution is a few glasses of her once famous Moonshine, a drink distilled from moonlight. Celestia has been sober for a thousand years, but the temptation to have "just one" glass proves too great. Yet, when that one glass turns into several, it's Twilight who will have to deal with the princesses when they’re drunk off their flanks.

The Epic Battle of Good Versus Slightly Less Good but Still Pretty Good in the Long Run by Akumokagetsu
Princess Luna attempts to overthrow her sister's rule... with pillows.
Celestia is highly amused.
"Princest is Wincest," It Said by cleverpun
The graffiti did not bother her. The art of vandalism was, in some form or another, as old as civilization itself. The content, on the other hoof, was an entirely different issue. “Princest Is Wincest,” it said. Bad grammar and spelling were one thing, but this was an attack on the Equestrian language.
Luna frowned. She would have to ask Celestia about this at the first opportunity. Perhaps there were spare funds for a literacy program. If nothing else, Tia might be able to explain what exactly the phrase meant.
Luna Makes Toast by Overlord-Flinx
One average morning, one average princess, one average kitchen, and one average bag of whole wheat bread slices... No one could mess this up.
The Bestest Thing in the World by Minds Eye
Princess Luna has raised the moon countless times in her life, but tonight was the first time she received a gift and an invitation to Celestia's chambers after doing so. While she accepts, she can't understand why the offer was made. There was nothing special about the day.
But she's wrong. Today was the day the newest letter from Ponyville arrived.
My Brother, The Tooth by Georg
Shining Armor is a tooth. Really. Princess Luna says so.

Which sister will come out on top?
Anything But The Gala by Ponibius
Princess Celestia has hosted the Grand Galloping Gala for hundreds of years, the grandest party in all of Equestria and said to be without peer—and has hated every year of it. Now that her sister has returned to her, she hopes to share this painful royal duty. Shame for her that Princess Luna wants nothing to do with the Gala, or any of the other princesses for that matter. Luna is going to have to use all her wits and skills to stay one step ahead of her sister and be anywhere but the Gala.
BY THE BLACK AXE OF NIGHTMARE MOON! by Tumbleweed

Luna finally proposes the idea that the two should find out themselves just what its like to be a pony...and not just any pony but royalty as well. What could possibly go wrong in this situation?
Twilight could probably name about thirty of them.
Princess Luna and the Guardian of the Faculty Lot by DashEight
Princess Luna heard the stories of the lands beyond the mirror. The Oracle of the Setting Sun, traveler of this fabled other world, returned with tales of marvels the likes of which Equestria has never seen. Automatic carriages with the strength of four hundred horses. Metal birds that prowl the skies, swooping in and ambushing their victims with paparazzi photoshoots. Butter substitutes beyond belief.
One legend stood above the rest. A forbidden place that holds a power greater than any known to humankind, zealously guarded by a stoic warrior-scholar. Many students have braved her wrath, yet none have returned, banished into a hellish limbo where they remain trapped until long after the final bell tolls.
But Princess Luna is no mere student. She will not fail as have so many others. She will travel to this 'Canterlot High School,' uncover the mysteries that lie within, and claim for herself the infinite power of...
...the Faculty Parking Lot
Sad/Dark

Twilight Sparkle would give up anything to save Equestria, but how much will she sacrifice just to learn the truth?
Burn the Fallow Land by RainbowBob
Sacrifice.
Celestia and Luna are all too familiar with the concept. It's a concept that has molded them, strengthened them... and in a few tragic cases, betrayed them.
When they are willing to give up everything to save those they hold most dear, what might be left could be just the thing that winds up destroying the sisters in the end.
Hooves of Clay by iisaw
Twilight devises a way to end a certain threat against Equestria, once and for all. She attempts a powerful, dangerous spell and, unfortunately, everything goes exactly as she plans. Her actions aren't driven by the purest of motives, and her disillusionment leads her down the road to dire consequences. . . a road somepony has walked before her.

The Mare Who Once Lived on the Moon by MrNumbers
In a world of brass and steam, Twilight Sparkle had thought she had made a life-changing discovery with the invention of the telescope. For better or worse, she was correct.
Now her discovery has not only changed her life, but the lives of those she seeks out in her desperate attempt to contact the only other creature as lonely as Twilight herself.
It all would have been much simpler, but it had to be the one Twilight could only call The Mare on the Moon.
Decidedly not within walking distance, then.
Twilight's Monster by Fuzzyfurvert
In an Equestria without the Princesses or the guidance of the Elements of Harmony, Twilight Sparkle is a researcher on the cusp of her greatest discovery and simultaneous fall from grace while finding love at the same time.
"Good Morning, Scootaloo." by ugugg93

(This takes place just after Sleepless in Ponyville)

Luna's Day Out by AVeryStrange
Luna's finally ready to get back out there into the world of Equestria, ready to see what's become of ponykind in the past thousand years. Except... she's not quite ready to go out on her own, amongst ponies that know only tales of nightmares and betrayal about her, and the one pony she knows personally is a little busy running a kingdom and raising the sun. When the offer for companionship comes from an unlikely place, Luna learns two great lessons. One, the risk to get to know a pony can lead to great rewards. Two, socks make everything better.

Perhaps a visit to that other world will provide some perspective.
Just an Assistant by RadicalDishonesty
Being a princess is stressful, but your peers and friends can certainly help.
That was what Twilight had in mind when she invited Luna over for tea one afternoon. A relaxing, friendly meeting between two fellow princesses where they can commiserate and share their experiences. An invitation to a stronger friendship than they had before, offered to a pony displaced in time.
What she got was an uncomfortable assertion about her relationship with her number one assistant, Spike. One that she is having difficulty refuting.
