What Once Was Lost... by Night Spark
https://www.fimfiction.net/
Luna loved her sister. She loved Celestia more than she loved the ponies of Equestria. However the ponies denied her. They only loved her sister and when Luna attempted to remedy their blasphemy her own beloved sister cast her from the world. Celestia had made Luna's own creation her cold and dismal prison. The stars had betrayed her. After a thousand years Luna had returned and her sister's pets had forced her to "exorcise" her inner demon. The notion that she was ever possessed made her wonder what sort of lies Celestia had fed to her groveling sheep.
Luna stood alone in her tower and watched Canterlot burn. The changelings were bringing so much death and chaos. The captain of the guard was defeated. Princess Cadence was weakened and frail. The elements of harmony were no longer a threat and Celestia was incapacitated. Everything was proceeding as Luna had foreseen.

Luna isn't insulted. She prefers her enemies stupid anyway.

For All To See by Pearple Prose
https://www.fimfiction.net/
Luna struggles with her art and herself, and her beloved sees her at her worst.
Upon Breaking Rules by Habanc
https://www.fimfiction.net/
Dear Diary,
Looking back, a scientific, step-by-step plan is completely ineffective for social situations (Note to self: don't do them, ever). Inviting Princess Luna to a Pinkie Pie Hearth's Warming party, with a checklist of steps in your head, was an awful idea. There are too many variables that a checklist cannot prepare for, such as an entrancing outfit. The plan resulted in a spectacular failure of when awkward meets anxious.
For future use, a spreadsheet might be better.

Adventure
Strength of the Night by Emerald Aura
https://www.fimfiction.net/
This story is my personal interpretation of what may have happened during the pilot episodes of Friendship is Magic: Parts 1 and 2, from Luna's perspective. It began as an attempt to answer some unanswered questions about the episodes (what happened to Celestia for the during of the episodes, why did Nightmare Moon take interest in Twilight and her friends rather than just claiming rulership over the kingdom right away, why did she provide indirect trials for them instead of just disintegrating them with magic, and so forth). The story does include events and dialogue that happened off screen, but some of the story simply uses the dialogue and action from the pilot episodes and re-contextualizes them using Luna's inner thoughts.
