The words still echoed, spinning clearly in her mind...

Applejack stared at the ceiling, her eyes tracing over the gaps and grains of the wooden rafters for what felt like the hundredth time.  Of course she didn’t “enjoy” being forcibly transformed by magic, and in the split-seconds of the magic working over her body, contorting her, dressing her in riding gear and hardening her flesh into fiberglass, she’d been nearly overwhelmed with fear...

...when it was done, however, she’d felt something different...

...as she went around, and around, and around, and around, and around, and around, and around, and around, and around, and around, and around, and around, and around, and around, and around, and around, and around, and around, and around, and around, and around, and around, and around, and around...

A slow-burn descent into an unusual place, as Applejack and the CMC become obsessed with being turned into a carousel. May count as psychological and/or body horror, or maybe fetish-fuel, possibly a trans/queer narrative (?), depending on who reads it.

Content Warning: Contains a lot of inanimate-TF fixation. Nothing really "disturbing" about it, but that's what the story is about.

Because of the horror aspects, I am submitting this as part of the Nightmare Night in April Writing Event. If that interests you, go check out the other stories in that folder!

This is a followup to something that happened in the IDW My Little Pony comics, Issue 78, the end of the Cosmos arc, where the image is from. You do not need to read that to understand the plot, as it's just one scene and I explain everything relevant (I haven't read it myself since it came out), though it's a year-end 4-parter with Discord so you should probably read it either way.

This was an old commission that's sat mostly finished for a while, but was delayed by my severe nerve-damage from COVID.

Derpy Hooves and Crafty Crate deliver a package to a world inhabited by a gentle and innocent generation of ponies. The destination is the residence of one Kimono, a connoisseur of the exotic and a local oddity whose maturity and wisdom sets her apart from her peers. Unfortunately, Crafty’s homeward journey is interrupted when the literal softness of the unfamiliar land causes his wagon to become stuck. Ocean Mist, Kimono’s protégé and innocent devotee of fairy tales, steps in to lend a tender hoof. While helping the strangers out of their pickle she learns a lesson in overcoming her limitations by embracing her identity.

“Please look after my children.”

Pear Butter’s last words were spoken to the stranger who found their crash: the cruel, otherworldly siren named Adagio Dazzle, who sees in her death a golden opportunity.

What starts as a plan to raise willing minions for sustenance and protection goes… a little differently than Adagio had in mind.

After the events of Magic Duel, Trixie looks for another means to become powerful without the cost of corrupting herself. Instead she finds a strange little magical creature. Hijinks will ensue.

Somewhat inspired by Fairly Odd Parents to a degree. I had a lot of fun with this.

Dewdrop Dazzle's magic doesn't work the same as other unicorns. The ostracized pony lives as an outcast in a lighthouse outside Baltimare. Most ponies would be powerless to stop the tsunami racing towards the city, but she's a water mage, and quite possibly the only pony other than alicorn who can save Baltimare. But should she?

This story is a sequel to Pink Is Your Color

Twilight and her Princess counterpart have always been as different as they were the same. It isn't until a particular book reading that they realize how deep those differences really go.

________________
Reading the prequel is not required, but is recommended if you like this kind of content. This is more of a spiritual successor than anything.

Preread by the lovely Lunaria, and co-written with the amazing Runic!

Wind Whistler knows all the rules, and she knows how to break 'em, and she always knows the name of the game. But she doesn't know how to get out of a temple that falls apart every now and then. Don't be sad, 'cause three outta four ain't bad?
