Though I walk through the valley of deep shadow, I fear no harm, for you are with me.

Navigating the post-mortem world is a nearly impossible task without guidance from somepony who has been to the other side before. For just a few rose petals, anypony can ask the ferry of the dead, Charmane, for her aid to the next realm.

But, what if you never paid the toll?

And what if nopony is willing to pay it for you?

It was going to be an entry for The Most Dangerous Game contest, but I ran out of time. Turns out I tried to cram too much in.

Princess Celestia went out for a stroll to a coffee shop. The next morning, she is single-hoofedly destroying the coffee industry.

When a young Diamond Tiara gets lost in the Everfree Forest, she meets the most terrifying creature that inhabits the haunted trees; a lone Timberwolf.

Now with a live reading! The catch is you gotta scroll down to find it.

You may never have heard of him, but Dr. Caballeron is one of the most infamous treasure hunters in the world. As a pony whose whole purpose in life is to loot ancient artifacts for bits, you would assume he is an arrogant, prideful and smug pony who you would love to buck in the face; and you'd be mostly right.

Still, even a pony like that can swallow his pride when he needs help, and there is nopony he can trust more than his former partner, Ms. Daring Do.

Thunderlane had never thought he would meet a mare who would turn everything he knew on love and relationships upside down. He always figured that if he ever found a mare worth dating, she would be a close friend of his who he could talk to easily.

Now on a date with the wall-eyed pegasus, he finds out that sometimes a pony needs another to sleep peacefully.

When they get word of this, they decide to fix this problem in their own way.

Based off of the 'A Broad Scope' comic short.

Imagine, if you will, that Twilight Sparkle never met Princess Celestia.

Pretty original premise, right?

Well, how about instead of somepony predictable, a different pony took the entrance exam... and passed!

This is about Zecora, a zebra on vacation who stumbled into the wrong room and changed her fate forever.

Darkness is a terrible thing. If we allow it, it will consume us.

Nopony knows that better than Princess Luna, a pony who allowed a powerful darkness to overtake her. Listen as she retells her story of what turned the beloved Princess of the Night into the greatest threat Equestria had ever known.

An everlasting dark dream...

An endless dream of darkness...

Dad, mom, Celestia...
