Every Nightmare's Caveat

by libertydude
A prisoner of Nightmare Moon is given a second chance. It may not be the one he wants.

In a dungeon cell deep beneath Nightmare Moon's castle, a lonely prisoner spends his nights remembering the daylight. Memories and the stars are his only comforts now in a world bent on punishing him in any imaginable way.

But when he least expects it, a reprieve comes from the most unlikely source. A source that, if satisfied, can make the prisoner's life a virtual paradise.

All it takes is a single spell, one that will make his jailer a goddess over all.


Takes place several months after the Season 5 finale.
