The Great and Powerful Trixie is a very respectable marefriend, putting aside some minor issues like theft, failing to read her letters properly and general cheekiness. It's how she ended up with not one, but two wonderful partners, neither of which she'd abandon for the world.

The afterworld is a different kettle of fish. It's a kettle that requires too much prep time and unnecessarily fancy instructions, and going over its proverbial recipes requires sacrifices that honestly aren't worth it. Not that those facts will stop ponies with delusions of sacrificial heroism, of which there are far too many in Equestria.

Good thing The Great and Powerful Trixie is a far more effective mediator. Hearth's Warming Eve might be gloomy without her insightful presence.

Hopefully this fits to your taste. I'll admit things got a bit strange the more an idea calcified in my brain, and if it's not to your liking I can write something else. ^_^;

King Sombra has conquered half of Equestria and he is looking to make Canterlot his next target, controlling his formidable slave army to lay siege to the capital, however, he is met with a staggering force of Princess Celestia and Luna's army, who had come to the Crystal Empire to seemingly put an end to the tyrant's cruel ambition.

The purpose of taking the fight to Sombra himself was to buy time for the celestial sisters; a reason none of the soldiers truly understood, but they trusted in their rulers. The army fought valiantly, but it was for naught, as they were wiped out by King Sombra's forces.

Among the dead bodies of his comrades and friends, a single soldier stands as the final opposition to King Sombra's ruinous march to the heart of Equestria's capital, Canterlot.

He needed to buy time until his princesses arrived, and he was more than able and willing to do so by any means he could, even at the cost of his life.

This story is a sequel to A Relaxing Day Over the Rainbow

Spike and Rainbow returned from the honeymoon and now another trip was planned. They are heading on a camping trip! And what's better is that Scoolatoo has a crush on Spike. But even though Spike is dating Rainbow can she share her love? Let's see. Shall we?

This is based on the episode Sleepless in Ponyville.

This was also requested by ChazMLPFIM. Give him respect guys.

I didn't do it. They did. The voices and the eyes and the ponies I wanted to protect. No. Yes. Stop. Help. Please. I didn't.

There are only a few things worse than being a third wheel. One is being a fifth wheel. The other, which might be unique to Rarity's situation, is getting to see her own alternate universe counterpart having more luck with love than she ever had. Still, a vacation might help her get over her recent slump. A vacation... to Knife Edge Makeout Point!

A commission for Spamotron, and a lot of fun to write. Great person to write for, only positive things to say. The cover art is a minor edit from Bing's new Art AI.

DM me if you'd like your own commission!

'You better not be a brat, you better not be selfish for I'm telling you why. Santa won't be able to save you if you do.'. It seems every year someone ignores the warnings...

This story is a sequel to A Silent Film

If you were to ask Vintage Cinema, a writer of true mystery books, Applewood has a long history of darkness underneath the glitz and glamor. His attention has turned to the Equestrian Society for Film Preservation in hopes of finding a film that is linked to his ancestor who disappeared during the silent film era. While his hunch does pay off, he finds that the film he has been looking for might have more than one mystery wrapped in its film reel.

A huge thank you to Lotus Moon and her cast for bringing this story to life.

This story is a sequel to Apple Valley: A Hearth's Warming Horror Story

It has been ten years since the loss of Ponyville, and three of the survivors have formed a make-shift family all their own. But on this Hearth's Warming Eve, the fourth of their number is finally coming back into their lives. She has a story to tell about a trip she took the holiday prior, when the cold winds blew and the bells did ring. When the ones left behind wept and laughed in endless, frozen agony. When the figure of her nightmares returned for the one who had escaped him so long ago...

I am Silverstream and I am nothing but a ghost. I have become part of this world that I created. A world without stars, without the sun and without the moon. There is no light here.
I am all alone and I deserve it. Once I had power, but I used it to murder. My friends are gone and maybe I murdered them too.
I am trying to find answers. I have a mobile phone that I use to record messages. If you don't hate me for what I did, please listen to them and learn from my mistakes. It's all I want.

Sol City has the biggest, most impressive Nightmare Night Parade in all of Equestria. Floats, holograms, free stuff... the works! It's everything anycreature could ever hope a parade to be... and this year it's even more special: Not one, but two legendary singers—Hard Rock Legend Yumi and Neo Pop Super-Star, Legend and main attraction, Sweetie Belle—are going to open and close the parade respectively, ending in a city-wide concert that will also be streamed across the world.

Enter Neon Clove, a unicorn runner/musician that loves Sweetie Belle's music and might (just might) have hacked her chances to win the Golden Ticket and take part in the parade, and counts herself the luckiest mare alive.

None of them could anticipate that this Nightmare Night would change the world forever.

This is my entry to the 2023 Cyberpunk Nightmare Night Story Contest!

The entire story has been finished and will be posted daily for the next five days. My thanks to Pascoite & GaPJaxie for edits and feedback!
