Musically Inclined by Cara [2k words]
https://www.fimfiction.net/
Music has been a constant in Luna's life. Before her banishment, she'd spent hours conversing with composers about their works, and even tried her hoof at composition herself.
As it turns out, being trapped in your own mind with a power crazed lunatic bent on eternal night doesn't leave much room for music.
Maybe a good old fashioned symphony, a walk, and some company can reignite that spark, or at least give it to someone else.
Comedy
Astrocatastrophe by Regidar [1k words]
https://www.fimfiction.net/
Sometimes unexpected mishaps occur; sometimes you leave your saddlebag at home, sometimes a faucet breaks, sometimes you lose the keys to the front door.

Unfortunately for her, that means talking to Luna.

Luna's Bassoon by Pineta [2k words]
https://www.fimfiction.net/
A princess who loved a good tune,
Ventured to take up the bassoon.

Did her sister incite
To banish her back to the moon.
But all the musicians unite
To save the princess of the night.
They fight to defend
Their bassoonist friend
And see this injustice put right.

Pony Go Boom by Estee [8k words]
https://www.fimfiction.net/
Luna's still settling back into her full duties, and finding out she's somehow responsible for overseeing Equestria's annual freedom festival came as something of a shock. All she really knows about the holiday is that ponies like to celebrate it with explosions. Fireworks, cannonfire... somehow, her citizens have linked 'freedom' with 'stuff blowing up.' So if there's a citizen willing to blow herself up as part of the festivities -- well, what could possibly be more appropriate?
...it seemed like a good idea at the time.

https://www.fimfiction.net/
War is brewing in the northern reaches of Equestria.
Well, not really. Or at least, let’s hope not. Hearth’s Warming Eve is only a week away, and a war would really murder everypony’s holiday spirit.
Fortunately for Equestria, Princess Celestia has a plan to stop the war before it even gets started, just in time to save the holidays. Unfortunately for Princess Luna, her sister's absence means she has to dress up in a red suit, head over to the local mall, and listen to the children of Canterlot prattle on about their asinine wish-lists.
She'd rather be going to war.

Six photographs. Six pieces of a mare time forgot. Six parts of her, lost then found again. The scenes they painted called to her, pulling on a yearning to understand that shook her to her core. Luna had to go. She had to find out — was there anything left of her? Or had she truly died, all those years ago on the moon, and been reborn through the fires of friendship? Luna hoped those photos held the answer.
