Inspired by the works of HP Lovecraft

Rainbow Dash is missing. The last person to see her was Twilight Sparkle, but she can't remember anything of the night she spent with the missing pegasus. But as her memories return, she may learn that certain things are better left forgotten.

And that certain caves are better left unexplored.

Did they really think they lived in a magical cartoon world? Where they controllled the weather? Where they had created and maintained an advanced civilization all by themselves, despite the fact they didn't even have thumbs?

They did believe that. At least for a while.

But one by one, they are waking up to a much harsher, much more disturbing reality.
Pityful, spliced creatures, they will try to fight their way out of a nightmarish place ruled by cold and sadistic entities.

Then again, who is to say what is real and what isn't. Perhaps this is nothing but a nightmare. A very long, painful nightmare. Perhaps the truth is something different altogether. So many mysteries, so many paradoxes, so many horrors. Only one thing is sure.

Friendship is magic.

Real Friendship. The one which won't abandon you, even in your darkest hours.

Disclamer 1: I'm not coddling you saying this, it's just one (alleged :P) human being to another. Just as a hand-granate, this works on the principle to whom it may concern: The story, whether or not it's any good at it, relies on an atmosphere of brave but vulnerable creatures fighting against (and ultimately overcoming, if severely scarred) a system of nightmarish injustice with no regard for even basic bodily autonomy. What is happening is sometimes described/summed up with harsh keywords or illustrated with devastating events. If any of this sounds alarming to you, please tread with caution or stay out. This of course does not exempt the story from criticism if you do chose to go foreward, especially for the ways it fails to do these subjects justice.

Disclaimer 2: BTW, I remember some parts of the fandom (and some movies) seem to interpret even the older protagonists (such as the "mane six") in the show as being children/teenagers. Just because I can, I hereby declare for the purpose of this fanfic, and really all of my other fics, that no creature in this story, at the time that it is set in, is the equivalent of a human "minor" unless they are unambiguously described that way.

Big Macintosh had a perfectly good reason for taking Twilight's doll; he wanted to use it to finally start a conversation with her. But Applejack's having none of it, Rarity's getting the wrong idea about everything, and the Cutie Mark Crusader Matchmakers are about to really throw a spanner in the works! A comedy of errors launching a full fleet of ships.

(2nd Person Romance Story starring stoner "you" and Twilight Sparkle)

It was the night of the Harvest Moon Music Festival when you met Twilight Sparkle, a lovely mare, just after a little fun to offset all the stress in her life. You hit off really well with her and you can both feel a spark, but you wonder what you did wrong when you wake up in your hotel room with some missing memory and Twilight nowhere to be seen.

Author's Note: Alright people, let's get this out of the way. Clover. Yes, it is pretty much marijuana in my story. Coffeebean was the one who came up the concept and I'm using it for my story. It's not just there for fun, it will have an impact on relationships with multiple characters. Second off, this story will have a very sensitive matter at the heart of the story. I can't tell you what, simply because I hate spoiling a story. But remember when I said this is going to be an emotional rollercoaster? Think of one of those super coasters that have like sixty loops and spends half the time upside down. But I assure you, it will still feel like one of my stories, having happy, funny, sad, and romantic parts to it.

When one of Fluttershy's dear animal companions wanders into the Everfree, she sets out to bring him home safely - but what she finds at the center of the forest is something she didn't expect, and something that ushers in a change to her world that makes each day darker than the last.

Pipsqueak and Dinky are good friends playing together in the forest when they make a discovery.

Short, innocent friendshipping.

CAUTION: May be D'awww inducing.

After a mishap in a magic duel, the ponies are transported to the Team Fortress universe. They'll take the classes places while The Engineer tries to find a way to get them home.

War comes to Equestria: with despair, with starvation, with suffering and with sacrifice. And the ponies must learn how to keep true to their values while surviving not just the rigors of battle, but the desolation of total war.

Rainbow Dash and Applejack have been married for four years, they adopted a foal, a red pegasus named Reddawn, and settled down on the farm. However, all is not well. Rainbow Dash's demanding career as a Wonderbolt is threatening to tear the family asunder. Will Rainbow Dash choose to continue her career as a Wonderbolt, or choose to give up her career to stay in Ponyville with her family?

A very special thanks goes out to Vivex, Taranasaurus0.0, Word-Sight, and Sour Grapes who helped out with prereading, editing, character analysis, and plot ideas. Without them, this story would not have turned out half as good as it is. The wonderful cover picture for this story was done by DaVca from DeviantArt.

Please feel free to leave any comments or criticisms! If you see something wrong with the story, go ahead and tell me in the comments, I can use all of the help I can get as a writer!

WARNING: This story contains incredibly generic Appledash. Because it's the best ship. Deal with it.
