Meet Strait Jacket, an insomniac, maniac, and everything in between that ends in 'iac'. Here, we go about his life. It's as bad as you would think it is.

When Twilight Sparkle slipped beneath the covers last night, everything had been fine. She had friends whom she loved, a teacher she adored, and a bright future ahead of her. But when she woke up, her blankets and quilts had been replaced by hospital gowns and padded restraints.

Everything is wrong and nothing makes sense; even her friends have changed. The doctors keep telling her that she is sick, that none of it was real and that it was all in her head. Yet she remembers a life far beyond the hospital walls. She couldn't have made it all up on her own. They must be lying… right?

Mort, also known as the Pale Pony (of Death), has been tasked to take time off from his rigorous duties of reaping souls. Seeking guidance, he is directed towards the town of Ponyville, to learn about the magic of friendship from Twilight Sparkle and her friends. All he needs to do is keep his true nature a secret. That shouldn't be too difficult...right?

Special thanks to Specter-Von-Baren and Pyrite Foolsgold for their help in proofreading and editing this story, as I really needed it. Additional thanks to Pilate, Chuckle5, Unimpressive Vagaries and Admiral Biscuit as well! Couldn't have done it without all their help!

This story is a sequel to Drop of Moonshine

Sequel to Drop of Moonshine -

Applejack receives an order from Princess Celestia, for a batch of cider prepared with a very special recipe that involves honey, yeast, and time. She's even invited to taste the special cider when it's ready. But, when Rainbow Dash finds out about the special tasting, the three mares soon have a little too much to drink. What shenanigans will unfold and how will Twilight keep a lid on things this time?

==Originally written Fall 2011== Equestria Daily Post==
After a long day of ruling Equestria, the Royal Sisters need a chance to unwind. Luna's solution is a few glasses of her once famous Moonshine, a drink distilled from moonlight. Celestia has been sober for a thousand years, but the temptation to have "just one" glass proves too great. Yet, when that one glass turns into several, it's Twilight who will have to deal with the princesses when they’re drunk off their flanks.

Nightmare Night has come once again, and Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo are intent on having some fun. Fortunately for them, something they hear in class earlier that day unexpectedly gives them the means for just that.

Okay, maybe a little bit more than they bargained for.

Diamond Tiara finds out what 'rape' is from a very realiable source, and decides that she wants to try it out. Together with Silver Spoon, Diamond Tiara 'rapes' her three favourite targets, and soon a new trend spreads throughout the school.

The adults of Ponyville are very, very concerned.

NOTE: There is NO foalcon in this story, nor is there anything of any sexual nature, rape or consensual. If you wish to understand, feel free to read on :3

Twilight has been having strange dreams about oranges, with no explanation why.

Now, all she ever eats or drinks taste like oranges and she is now determined on why this is happening.

And, when she finds out the reason why is truly shocking.

Twilight Sparkle punctures her spinal column, rendering her a quadriplegic. Now, she must cope with the minor inconvenience of being disabled.

My name is Octavia Harmonious Melody, and I am mentally deranged… No no, I assure you, I'm quite serious. For the past three years I have lived with a voice inside my head, a crazed, lunatic of a voice, who I, through the displeasure of living with for the past three years, have come to almost befriend...

Almost.

Now my childhood friend-turned-enemy, Vinyl Scratch, is inviting me to further my musical prowess by living under the same roof as her, and as much as I can barely stand the sight of her, she represents what may be my last chance at closure and sanity. The irony of which being that I'm sure she's already insane, if not pushing me towards it.
Although, to her credit, she's a nice enough mare, maybe if I could stop the voice in my head for a minute we could grow to become friends again…
...it isn't a sin to dream, is it?
