Derpy is a good filly.

Her eyes might not line up right and she can't think too many things at once, but she's still a good filly who always does what Daddy tells her. Until he tells her not to go into the basement under the stairs, at least. He tells her there's a monster down there, and it's all teeth and claws, and it's dangerous.

And then Derpy doesn't do what she's told.

How far will somepony go to save one they love? How far should they go?

A terrible accident leaves one of the Cutie Mark Crusaders clinging to life. While some fight hard to save her, others kowtow to fate, mournfully accepting the inevitable. Is it still possible for her to be saved? Can one's existence persist after life, or is death the end? And just what is that ethereal thing called a soul?

At the apex of King Sombra's tyrannical rule, six crystal ponies venture through the driving snow and icy underground caverns in an attempt to flee the oppressive Crystal Empire to the mythical Equestria, far past the miles of frozen wasteland.

But the caverns below hold terrifying secrets, and the road to Equestria is a long one.

This story, besides the obvious horror elements, contains heavy themes of domestic abuse and slavery.

Emily enjoys many things: the feel of a fresh canvas, applying paints to a surface, taking in a wonderful afternoon, but nothing compares to her daily ritual of enjoying the sunset with Big Mac. But he's been acting a little cagey recently, skipping their quiet and contemplative sessions, and she can't help but wonder why...

Starlight spends a day in her old town, and her new friends plan a prank to break the ice. What better than something to laugh about to bring everyone closer together! Some pranks are funny, gentle, and become fond memories one day.

This is not one of those pranks.

Captain Scootaloo of Equestria's Royal Air Force has been assigned the mighty Helicopter-Tank-Castle-of-Chickens for a special mission: Rescue Princess Rainbow Dash (Celestia's daughter, duh) from the clutches of the Shadowbolts!

With Celestia's beard in danger of getting soggy, can anyone else perform this feat of amazing consequence? Will Scootaloo earn the princess' hoof in marriage? Will a second beard grow? Only one word holds the answer: Cluck!

No pony can hold onto their magic forever. Inevitably, a pony's body will be broken, and their magic will return to the air and soil. Celestia has held onto her magic for a very long time.

After many long years of preparation, the time for Twilight to succeed Celestia as Bearer of the Sun has come. But as the abdication ceremony in which Celestia will relinquish her power approaches, Twilight begins to desperately search for a way to stop the dread ritual of the ceremony and save her friend.

A changeling soldier must find a way to survive after surviving the aftermath of the canterlot wedding. Landing in the middle of the desert, she must learn to adapt to be able to have a chance to get back to her home.

Big Mac is a strong stallion, no doubt about that, possibly even the strongest pony around.
However, that changes when he meets a filly by the name of Lily Longsocks, whose raw strength might even rival his own.
It is from this filly that Big Mac will learn where a stallion truly draws his strength.
