Princess Flurry Heart seemingly disappears from the Crystal Empire to attend to a deep secret of hers.

Twilight Sparkle stumbles across a hidden volume in a secret illicit library. It's a book that demands her attention... and then turns out to be an eldritch entity capable of debilitating a pony with just a cursory glance at its text. The source of its power?

It's [REDACTED] frustration. Seemingly nopony is immune.

And there's only one organization equipped to handle this sort of thing.

Agents Lyra and Bonbon are on the case.

Crossover with the SCP Universe, obvs.

Also our 100th published story. Neat.

What if someone wanted it to happen?

Everypony likes a nice cold treat on a hot day. Even the ice cream mare.

One shot based on a horror story I read in a 1970s Omni magazine. It says something about it's effectiveness.

The start of the virus was unknown, but it started and spread through Equestria like wildfire, killing countless thousands of ponies. Hardly any are still alive, and the ones that are struggle to survive. The Mane Six are a few of the survivors, and this is a short, yet dark, tale of their struggle to survive.

Suggested official rating: PG-13 for disturbing violent content, some gore, and dark themes

WARNING: Quoted message from a mod regarding this story:

if your story becomes any more explicit in its depiction of gore than it already is, it will need a mature tag.

Inspired by:
"The Stand" by Stephen King (novel)
"The Hot Zone" by Richard Preston (non-fiction book)
"The Cough" (another MLP fanfic)
"Flu Season" (another MLP fanfic)

The flu; all ponies have had it at some point in their lives. It's a simple yearly ordeal that leaves you feeling crummy for a week or two, then you're fine again, right? Oh how wrong of a misconception that is. This is not the story of the feather flu, this is the story of the black flu; the worst flu pandemic in Equestrian history.
(There is adult SpikeBelle shipping [as in age, not content] and no, there aren't any zombies.)

Though this story is fictional, I'd like to point out that this will be an accurate representation of a worst case scenario pandemic in our world. And after the recent outbreak of H7N9 in China and NCoV in Saudi Arabia, I felt as though I needed to write this story. So I hope this story will both entertain and educate you.
