• Story: The Moon is a Harsh Mistress (Update 7!)


    [Normal-Slice of Life]

    Author: NavyPony
    Description: It's been a thousand years. Princess Luna is returned, and the castle staff must scramble to see that she has servants to attend to her needs, and just as importantly, that they look the part. A hooffull of servants are chosen based on their appearance and duties, and are assigned to serve the Moon Goddess as personal retainers until more suitable replacements can be found. When coloring, Cutie Mark, and chance coincide, one of the castle's junior stewards is thrust into a role any loyal servant ought to jump at: Lunar Hoofservant. Unfortunately for Nightlight, Princess Luna is far more demanding than her older sister, and being her servant means contending with an unforgiving goddess who demands nothing short of perfection.
    Saddled with responsibility far beyond his post and expected to fail, this young pony has no choice but to quit his post or to become the servant that Luna needs.
