Against her grandmother's wishes, Applejack stubbornly goes to work in a disused field on the edge of the Apple family's lands. What she finds there is far, far worse than an upset grandparent.

UPDATE: A live-reading of this story can be found here.

One thousand years ago there were six pony races: The Earth, the Pegasi, the Unicorns, the Crystal, the Shadhavar... and the Dragonponies, the Longma. With bat wings, draconic eyes, and reptillain frills these creatures were told about in myth and legend as tricksters and monsters. The demonic minions of the bogeymare Nightmare Moon. But this lost race has returned, a menacing force appearing far to the north. Twilight Sparkle decides to investigate and ask the Princesses about the details, but she soon finds herself responsible for an empire of monsters, worshipping Twilight as the successor to the Mare in the Moon. How will she handle the pressure?

Because some days, you've just got to write a one-shot.
This is a collection of stories, mostly short. Some might graduate to full-fledged ones, some may not.
Also, if a story I make fails to stand on it's own two legs writing-wise, I'll toss it in here.

An alternate version of the climax to the 7th chapter D G D Davidson's story A Mighty Demon Slayer Grooms Some Ponies.

Suppose it was not the pickaxe Megan grabbed. Suppose she grabbed the spade instead and only knocked Wind Whistler out. Suppose the altercation caused the pegasus gone mad to reassess her values and come to some dark conclusions. Was killing Wind Whistler truly the worse case scenario for Megan.

Twilight had always known her kind to be a race of peace and kindness. However, when faced with something they don't quite understand, those bounds are tested. After a two legged creature arrives in Ponyville with a spear in hand and an injured Scootaloo, the citizens act in a manner which Twilight hadn't foreseen.

Perhaps the world around them isn't as black and white as she had once thought, but filled with shades of gray. Journey with Twilight and company, as they discover this for themselves as they venture beyond the borders of Equestria.

How can Celestia refuse her mother's last wish?

I don’t question the “life” bar floating over my head, or my “EXP” gauge, or the little phantasmal boxes that appear whenever I look at an “equippable” object that show its “statistics.” It’s normal for small messages to appear in the sky every now and then, such as [System update in 2 hours.] My kind worships the Developers, higher beings that direct, create, and control everything we see. It’s all normal. This is how things have always been, since I was born. My father, my grandfather, my ancestors have all accepted and coped with these elements.

So why does everything feel so... fake?

My name is Twilight_Sparkle, and I know there’s something wrong here.

News of a grand circus touring all of Equestria reaches the ear of everypony, bringing with it fun and excitement wherever it goes. When Applebloom gets a letter from her cousin Babs describing how amazing the circus was during its stop in Manehatten, the CMC are more eager than ever for it to reach Ponyville.

Owned by the grand ringmaster, Duo-tono. And performed by various creatures of Equestria, ranging from acrobatic minotaurs and gryphon clowns to juggling ponies and manticore-taming dimond-dogs. This tent-filled wonder has something for everypony to enjoy!

However, when one of the members of the circus goes missing, a dark and terrible secret is unleashed. One that only the circus, through orders of the crown, could keep at bay in order to keep Equestria safe.

Can the CMC help stop this growing disaster before it's too late? or will Equestria fall to the powers of darkness?

Declaimer: The title of the story pays homage to "Cirque du Soleil" for its fantastic performers and breathtaking shows. The proper French title is "Cirque de la Lune" meaning "Circus of the Moon", but instead ends with "Luna" on purpose for story telling reasons.
