5. The End

The Rest of the Mane6

Rarity and Applejack were together long enough for marriage to be realistically on the table at Twilight's wedding. Rarity and Applejack eventually married, long enough after Luna and Twilight did that Twilight was their wedding coordinator. She might not be the most artistic or romantically inclined (not traditionally, anyway: Luna loves it when she gets academic), but she can organize like nobody's business. She got to use her "HRH/PC Twilight Sparkle" signature on the wedding papers, too: "Her Royal Highness, the Princess Consort Twilight Sparkle." Twilight rarely uses it in practice but she knew Rarity'd get a kick out of it.

At Twilight's wedding Dash was still pining for Spitfire (fangirling, really). If only she'd known it was mutual! They never did tie the knot, though they did hook up sometime later and stayed together for as long as anyone knew them. Total trainwreck of a relationship, and Spitfire was (as a TMP mod put it) "Cougar of the Wonderbolts" for going full-throttle after a Rainbow Dash at least 15 years her younger.

Pinkie isn't seen with anyone else in my stories: might as well stick her with Cheese Sandwich! I can picture them traveling Equestria, leaving epic parties in their wake. Somehow they'd just know where a party was most needed and pop up out of the nearest potted plant. Fluttershy also never got paired off in my series. I did write a TMP prompt once where she was seeing Zecora, but after the latest Season 5 episode with Tree Hugger, I think I'll picture Shy floating through life, spending her time with whoever she meets that shares her peaceful outlook and insight into the natural world. That does include Discord, though perhaps not romantically. Maybe, though: he's shown he can learn to change, with help. As for Spike - who knows? Maybe Sweetie Belle finally got her wish!

BONUS CONTENT # 1: "Documentary"

This was originally TMP Prompt #182: “The Silver Screen” (Movie Night). It never met my quality standards, and it was a little too ham-fisted and obvious to bother rewriting, so I never came back to it. I did end up re-using two of the lines in the chapter "Bird". The scene: Twilight and Luna are walking through Ponyville when admirers start cheering for them and asking for autographs. Lyra and Bon-Bon (the only time I ever wrote them) thank them, telling them it'll make life easier for ponies like them now that a Princess shares their lifestyle. Twilight thinks they're talking about two mares openly dating, and she thinks the DVD covers she's been autographing are a documentary about their surprisingly open and public courtship. They head to Rarity's to check it out (the only one who owns a DVD player) and stumble onto the rest of the Mane6:

The sitting room and dressmaking nook were dark and deserted while lights shone from the den around the corner. The familiar gravelly voice of a cyan pegasus could be heard over the din of conversation. “Popcorn - check! Cider - check! Settle in, ponies, ‘cause our Friday night watch party just got epic!”

Unicorn and Alicorn paused in the anteroom in silence, tiptoeing across luxurious carpets to peek into the den, the heads of five mares visible above a low couch and a flickering screen visible just beyond them. The two figures on the screen looked oddly familiar.

“Excuse me, darlings, I must refresh my wine. Cider seems entirely unsuited to a momentous occasion such as we are about to witness!” Rarity rose from the couch and promptly dropped her wineglass from its magical grip. The splash of spilled wine and the tinkle of broken glass caused the other heads to turn, their eyes wide as their collective gaze met the two newcomers.

“P… Princess, Twilight, we can explain… “

“Yippee! Now we can have a party of seven to watch a party of two!”

“Ah.. Ah suddenly remembered Ah left a pie in the oven, Ah think Ah’d better be, uh, anywhere but here…”

“Eep!”

Five mares made a mad scramble for the screen, the DVD player, the remote control, the window, and the popcorn, but as Luna’s horn glowed they found themselves held fast and silent in a viselike field of sparkling blue magic. Beyond them, the “documentary” played on, an occasional cyan feather blurring the shot.

“Librarian, thy shelves are dusty and disorganized! Thou art a disgrace to the Royal Society of Librarians! Thy punishment must be severe!”

“Oh, Mistress, I have been a naughty librarian! Shall I pay my own late fee in bits, or...?”

“Librarian, thy decimal system appears… Dewy. I must inspect it closer.”

“Will you help me reshelve these volumes, Mistress? I believe they all go in the… rear aisle.”

“Twilight, dearest… when last I visited, perchance did you leave the balcony window open?

“Perchance.. um, maybe?”

Did You Know?

Did you know...

...that Luna's Librarian was once bound and printed, along with Rustic & Romantic and If the Flight Suit Fits and more? That someone found my stories worthy of that much effort and expense still stuns me. Beyond flattering!

...that Luna's Librarian inspired a side story by another author? Check out "A Moonlit Proposal" by Uniden308 (formerly TimeTravlnDEMON) to see a piece of the saga I meant to write but never got around to.

...that "Luna's Librarian, Twilight's Moon" is ranked 1,269th on Fimfiction? It was Featured story, is the 11,932nd longest story and can be found in 3,360 bookshelves, being tracked by 1,943 users. It currently sits at 1596 upvotes, 39 downvotes, 1,255 comments, 13,225 unique views, and 184,409 total views.

...that the original cover art was a screencap until Crenaiir (formerly Cerraka / xaztein / crenair) OK'd my use of the current amazing picture? That artwork can't be found on Crenaiir's DA page; it was part of the Ask The Royal Couple tumblr. I loved that askblog; the TwiLuna there is ridiculously beautiful. Here's the original cover:

BONUS CONTENT # 2: "End of the Night"

This was originally TMP Prompt #157: “The End of Fear” (The very last house of Nightmare Night). This showed some lead-in to the first time Twilight and Luna slept together, and as such it would've come right before "Every Night After." It was a cute little piece but too short to include here, especially since it didn't really add anything to the story. Fluff, and not enough of it. The scene: yet another Nightmare Night has ended in Ponyville. Luna's walking Twilight home while Twilight gushes about all the great things Luna did for the foals and how wonderful Luna is.

The younger mare looked around at shuttered windows and long-dark lamps. “It’s probably too late to do any more trick or treating. I think we must’ve visited every house in Ponyville. Was there some house we missed? A last house you wanted to see tonight?”

“Yes, there is.” Luna’s starry mane framed her face in darkness, her growing smile shining like a broken halo. “Yours.”

“My house? I don’t have any candy, and I’m sure Spike took whatever he had to his sleepover with the Cutie M – ” A dark muzzle and a crown of stars filled her vision as warm lips met hers and time froze.

“Oh,” she whispered. Long moments passed before the young unicorn’s eyes returned to focus. “OH.”

Despite the midnight dark and her indigo coat, the Moon Princess blushed visibly. “As you pointed out, I have no means to return to Canterlot tonight. Do you know of some place I may stay the night?”

Twilight gulped, trembling. “Have… have you ever spent the night in a tree?”

Heartfelt thanks to everyone who's read, commented, faved, liked, starred, and enjoyed Luna's Librarian, Twilight's Moon! I appreciate all your time and care and attention. You've all been wonderful! See you next time.
