Playful Luna is the best Luna.

This was really cute. <3

Luna fics are the best fic.
I highly approve this fic.

That was great. Turning on Sinatra in the background at the right moment really helped set the mood. I wish we had more of this kind of fanfiction rather than a glut of shipfics.

locojom said...

I love the ending =)
And of course, I approve happy Luna and this fic.

Story became epic as soon as Luna started singing "StarMare".

I'm not sure Loved It is a strong enough rating for this story. This is the first fic I've read on here that I know I'll re-read someday. I enjoyed Twilight October, but this was something else entirely. <3

Really loved this fic. I'm a sucker for happy Luna; I really can't resist giving you 5 stars.

Desert Rose said...

That was so adorable and heartwarming.. I approve!

This fic earned 5 stars from me.

I wish I could fall asleep under Luna's wing. This is the sweetest fic I've ever read.

I always like happy!Luna fics, but the addition of a well characterized Sweetie Belle (I dislike her in canon, but I really like her in this fic, a feat all by itself) and some good song choices made this good fic even better!

Iggy said...

Wow. That story left me with the biggest, stupidest grin on my face. I love it. 5/5

What's funny is that I was actually listening to Sinatra's version of Fly Me to the Moon just as I brought this page up. Adorable story!

/r/ing Princess Luna messing up Sweetie Bell's hair while Sweetie Bell is trying to tickle her.

FOR THE SAKE OF THIS FIC, IT MUST HAPPEN

this is a great story, i really love happy luna, by the way what the name of the two songs luna sings after 'fly me to the moon'

Jam Sandwich Luna is best Luna.

There are some aspects of the writing craft you could use polish on. Specifically, dialog tags seem to be an issue. Also, sentence and paragraph structure repetition began to stick out to me and nearly interfered with my enjoyment.

But the good news is that these aspects are easy to learn.

The better news is I found a lot more to enjoy about this fic than I can possibly find to complain about. The true emotional core of this story is very strong, and as you can see by your star rating, it is reaching a ton of people. I, myself, was thoroughly heartwarmed and very glad I took the time to read this. You also had good moments of description that shows you have that wordsmithing ability, if you need only a little more polish.

So, I rate it 4/5, as it only lacked that polish that will come with a little learning of the writing craft. If you had a good editor who could spot that stuff for you, you can easily make 5/5 stories.

SlyWit said...

@SlyWit

Oh, and to add, I particularly enjoyed your stroke of creativity in the novel way you portrayed Luna that more or less goes against the standard fan interpretation, but nevertheless works well.

Anonymous said...

i actually smiled at the end. that was very good.

Herpy said...

That was something else. Just like @Iggy, I'm left with the biggest grin. :)
Also... Ponies? In MY David Bowie? It's more awesome than you think.

Anonymous said...

That was great. I don't normally like the CMC but sweetie belles my favorite and reading about her with luna?
HHHNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGG!!!

Lurks-no-More said...

That was very sweet. Like SlyWit above, I agree it could use a little bit of more polish, but the story itself was very well done.

beese said...

Grin from Cheek to Cheek

Twas Awesome

Id give it bigger that 5/5 IF I could

Perhaps a 6/5?

The RPGenius said...

Great fanfic. Written pretty well, characters were done nicely, the emotion was simple but captivating, as was the purpose, the pace was good...just great overall, one of the best on this site. 4 Stars.

Muffin said...

My favorite Luna Fic.
So good!
Made me love Luna more than I did.
Also very uplifting!
I need moar like this!!!

Anonymous said...

i've never cared much for luna relative to the other ponies. But this fic. I think I broke my jaw smiling.

Anonymous said...

Eidolon said...

david bowie made this fic for me

Oh god, that was so BEAUTIFUL!

Trashcanman said...

Oh, LUNA! This story was really nice. I really can't say anything more than that. Five stars!

Anonymous said...

D'AWWWW-wait a minute, was that Sweetie Belle and Luna playing together? That's so awe-HNNNNNNNNGH!

Anonymous said...

I actually like it, but Luna seem a bit off here. Thanks to the fanart and most fanfics I have her shy and timid in mind x,D

Graff said...

This has moved Luna up to my favorite pony.
Five-out-of-Five.
Thank ye.

Landon said...

Too freakin' adorable. I love the idea of a little filly becoming friends with the ruler of night like that. Very heart-melting, all in all.

Anonymous said...

this is still my favorite story ^-^

Anonymous said...

I've found fics on here that have made me cry.

This is the first one that's had me stare out my window, with an incredible smile across my face. Happy Luna is the best Luna.

zaptiftun said...

Wonderful little story. Crosby and Simon & Garfunkel were great choices.

DancingBlades15 said...

Dude, I'm not sure what was better, the overall writing, or the fact that you included Simon and Garfunkel AND Sinatra into a Ponyfic. Well played, good sir. Well played indeed

uSea said...

Zonra, your picture is awesome.

Anonymous said...

I don't think there is anything wrong with Luna being less timid and apologetic. She may be behind the times by 1000 years, but it is still safe to assume she had a good 100+ years before that to learn to ups and downs of siblings.

Zonra said...

@uSea

Thank you, that means a lot :D

Really happy with the image and best thing iv ever drawn so far :D

I LOVE it. :) Absolutely perfect. Can't rate it for some reason, so 5/5!

Thesyn said...

This is literally perfect. I teared up a tiny bit but it's such a happy ending, I love it!

Anonymous said...

It was a perfect D'aww story.

Versilaryan said...

Such a good story! It really captured that heartwarming feel that bittersweet sadfics pile on, minus the "and everyone died", and in moderation. You really captured the mood in those words. =)

Camb said...

Excellent story.

Stormy Seas said...

So cute! Happy Luna is by far the best Luna. Nicely done with the imagery and integration of the songs. Now if only Luna would sing me to sleep.

Lady Luna said...

That was beautiful. Especially the ending.

Alyeskabird said...

That was good. Short and sweet and silly and fun. I loved it. I have to admit, Luna is the one pony I feel most sorry for. She needs a friend, and in this story, she makes one, if not two.

Michael said...

Aww...I think I felt a tear coming on at the end.

This was absolutely one of the sweetest stories I've ever read. I can probably fall asleep soundlessly tonight after reading this. :)

ambion said...

A really pleasant little story, thouroughly enjoyed. Really liked how Luna was portrayed here.

Morrdor said...

That was really good :)

RinellaWasHere said...

Wonderful, utterly wonderful. Your Luna is a unique, welcome change from the brooding or sad Luna of most fics, and her attitude and playfulness really capture the love between siblings. Five out of five with no reservations.

Oh, and uSea?

Your hair's all messed up.

ItsTheWhinyGuys said...

This was sweet, and nicely done. Reminded me a bit of Sisterhooves Social in a way, only with some of Celestia & Luna's relationship explored as well. I wish they'd go into that in the show! Ah, well, at least we have fanfics to help with that. ;)

Flaxative said...

This is adorable; too many people have forgotten the appeal of a short, well-written fic.
