History Fanfic / AMeetingByMoonlight

* AbortedDeclarationOfLove: [[spoiler:Luna may have been approaching one, ro Twilight, when she realized Spike was eavesdropping. It may have been for the best from both their POV's that this didn't happen, as Twilight had ''just'' realized who she herself had been in a former life and thus ''why'' Luna might love her]].

* PastLifeMemories: Princess Luna (being an [[PhysicalGod Alicorn]]) can easily remember her life as [[OmnidisciplinaryScientist Dr. Moondreamer Finemare]], which is the source of the story she tells Twilight. These memories include [[spoiler:her happiness with [[OneTrueLove Dusk Skyshine]]. Unfortunately for Luna, [[spoiler:Twilight, who ''was'' Dusk, cannot]].
* ReincarnationRomance: [[spoiler:Twilight Sparkle]] is the reincarnation of [[spoiler:Dusk Skyshine]], the [[spoiler: [[OneTrueLove husband]] of [[spoiler:Moondreamer]], an earlier life of [[spoiler:Princess Luna]]'s. [[spoiler:Princess Luna]] has known about this ever since the events of Fanfic/NightmaresAreTragic; [[spoiler:Twilight Sparkle]] figures it out in the course of their conversation. Importantly, [[spoiler:Twilight Sparkle does ''not'' remember her past life as Dusk]].

-->'''Luna''': You saved me, Twilight Sparkle, and you have my eternal gratitude for that. You … you came ba…”
->In context: [[spoiler:Twilight saved Luna by unleashing the Elements of Harmony on her and purging Luna of the Nightshadow. But Twilight didn't "come back" -- this was the first time they'd met. ''Dusk Skyshine'' came back, as Twilight Sparkle]]. Mistake, Luna -- but then former Elements of Honesty tend to make poor liars.

* {{Adorkable}}: Luna describes Dusk Skyshine as this to Moondreamer Finemare. At least he seemed that way to her when they were young: by "[[Fanfic/ThirtySecondsOverToKiRin Thirty Seconds Over To-Ki-Rin]]" he's become more of an ActionHero.

* [[Main/AdvancedAncientHumans Advanced Ancient Ponies]]: The ponies of the [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyTales Age of Wonders]], from the point of view of the [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic modern Equestrians]]. They had nuclear energy, electronics and space travel. Though Equestria's well on the path back toward that level of technology, as Twilight points out to Luna at the end.

* ShipTease: [[spoiler:Luna]] definitely has strong feelings for [[spoiler:Twilight]], who is [[spoiler:the [[ReincarnationRomance reincarnation]] of her old love Dusk Skyshine]]..

This is because [[spoiler:Luna is uncertain if her feelings for Dusk-as-Twilight are sexual]] and also because this is the first [[spoiler:Twilight Sparkle has heard of any of this]].]]
