Being an immortal alicorn who rules the night and guards dreams is fulfilling, wonderful… and extremely dreary work.
Being a high school vice-principal is also fulfilling, wonderful… and even more dreary work.
Vice-Principal Luna doesn’t have many friends, and drinking alone every Friday night just doesn’t hit the same. Princess Luna feels the exact same way—across dimensions.
Lucky for them, the universe has a sense of humour.
When the two Lunas meet at a bus stop, both exhausted from their very different responsibilities, they decide there’s only one reasonable solution: ditch their duties and get very, very drunk.

https://www.fimfiction.net/
Princess Twilight Sparkle had announced the detonation of the moon, and everypony thought it was a prank. Celestia was known to prank her subjects quite often, and so it was natural for ponies to think that her pupil would be of a similar mindset.

https://www.fimfiction.net/

Sola Invicta, Celestia Regina by BluebelleOfTheBall [2k words]
https://www.fimfiction.net/
Equestria's Princess of the Night had returned at last. Freed from her nightmare, she could hardly wait to gaze at her dearest sister Sola's face again. To bury her head in her magnificent pink mane and plead for forgiveness and have a sister again.
But wait.
Who was this 'Princess Celestia' that her noble saviours seemed to be in awe of? Who was this mare with a mane the color of a sunrise?
She was Sola.

Somnium Moriens by wonderkid125 [12k words]
https://www.fimfiction.net/
Princess Luna has many duties that she must tend to as part of her station. Perhaps the one she took the most pride in, was keeping watch over the dream realm and shepherding ponies having nightmares to a more restful slumber.
However, nightmares weren't the only aberration she faced in her nightly vigil. She also had a more rare and somber type of dream to contend with — the dreams of dying ponies.
One night, she finds a dying dream belonging to a pony near and dear to her. One of the ponies responsible for her redemption: Twilight Sparkle.
Now, with time running out, Luna must race to see if she can do anything to save a soul on the edge of oblivion, with only the unicorn's dream to offer her any clue as to just what happened and just where she is.
Can she succeed? Or will this dream fade like many before it, ushering an element bearer to her final slumber?

Glimpse by Noobblue [6k words]
https://www.fimfiction.net/
Twilight's a student of all kinds of magic. Friendship is her calling, but that doesn't mean she can't learn more. Sun, Moon, Love, and supposedly many more, if the stories she's heard are to be believed.
Luna loves those stories. Stories of the Sky, of far off lands, of histories that never existed, and lands that could never be. Every time Twilight comes to visit, Luna's always creating something, some story, an art piece of those places, and it only takes a single question for Luna to go on about all the tiny little details.
Of course, the lunar mare could always show her.
