In a MLP Princess Luna and King Sombra fanfic, how would their relationship develop?

In terms of the plot, it could start with Sombra's return or some sort of threat that he poses. Luna then steps in to deal with it. The setting within the My Little Pony world would be important. It could be set in Canterlot or some other location. The fanfic might also introduce new characters or use existing ones to support the main plotline between Luna and Sombra.

Well, one possible plot could be that they start as enemies as in the original lore. But then, an external threat forces them to work together. They gradually learn about each other's pasts and find some common ground. Maybe they both had difficult upbringings in different ways. And in the end, they form an unlikely alliance that changes the power dynamics in Equestria.

No. King Sombra is a baddie and Luna is a princess. Their relationship is more about opposition in the story, not love.

One common theme could be the battle between light and dark. Luna represents the moon and has an association with the night, which can be seen as a time of mystery and sometimes danger. King Sombra is a dark character. So the fanfic may explore this contrast in terms of their powers and personalities.

Their relationship could develop through shared goals. For example, if there is a magical imbalance in Equestria that only their combined magic can fix. As they work towards this goal, they start to understand each other better.

One idea could be a story where Luna and Sombra meet in a dream realm. Luna, being the princess of the night, has the power to traverse dreams. Sombra, once a powerful and dark figure, could be lost in this dream realm. Luna tries to understand his past and help him find redemption. It could explore themes of forgiveness and the power of understanding.

It could develop in a more adversarial way at first. King Sombra might see Rainbow Dash as a nuisance or a threat to his plans, while Rainbow Dash would see him as the enemy. However, over time, they might find common ground. Maybe they both have a shared goal of protecting a certain part of Equestria that is important to them for different reasons, and this could lead to a more complex relationship that is part rivalry, part cooperation.

Their relationship could start off as one of pure enmity. Twilight would see King Sombra as a great threat to Equestria. But as the story progresses, if they were forced to interact more, Twilight might start to see some small glimmers of humanity (or pony - ity) in Sombra. For example, she might notice that he has a love for a certain kind of magic that is not entirely evil.

Power and corruption is another common theme. King Sombra was power - hungry in the original story, and fanfics expand on this. They might show how his thirst for power not only affects himself but also those around him. It can also explore how power can corrupt even the best of intentions.

Well, there isn't really a proper 'love story' between Princess Luna and King Sombra. King Sombra is a dark and power - hungry character. Princess Luna, on the other hand, is associated with the moon and the well - being of Equestria. Their interactions are mostly about Sombra's malevolent plans and Luna's duty to protect her realm. So, it's not a love - based narrative at all.
