A student of Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns stumbles upon a mysterious house in the streets of Canterlot, only to find it abandoned. Once the door has been opened, it can never truly be shut. Once the house has accepted him, he can never escape it.

His only hope lies hidden in the deepest chambers of Canterlot Palace, in this manuscript.

(A gentle warning: contains psychological horror and mention of but not graphic depiction of sexual activity.)

—Squad has arrived in kirin village.

—Have confirmed the body mentioned in the communique to be the remains of Ranger Flintlock of the Royal Guard, though it's undergone rapid decomposition in the three days since its discovery and is nearly unrecognizable. May be impossible to have transported back to Canterlot intact in its current state.

—The earth pony male mentioned to have been found with the body, confirmed as being Professor Green, had disappeared the previous night when most of the locals had turned in. The remaining two members of the expedition—Trace Findings and Doctor Stratum—remain unaccounted for.

—A stack of freshly-written papers was found in the room where the professor was kept for recuperation. Frantically written and smeared in places, but legible enough for our scribe to have transcribed onto the document attached to this scroll.

—Be forewarned: some of its contents are disturbing.

That wacky Spirit of Chaos is at it again...
Except, there's no ponies in the audience.
There's nothing, really. Just an empty, post-apocalyptic expanse.
Nothing, and some ants.

Also now the excuse/subject for an RCL Interview.

Young Mia is determined to run with wild horses and nothing is going to stop her. Not her mother. Not even a pony with stars in her mane, come to take her away on an adventure...

Legend tells of a shadowy demon that consumes the souls of the living. When Applebloom is found comatose in the Everfree, Twilight comes to learn the horrifying truth—some legends are real. Spurred by fear, she ventures into the darkness of Applebloom's nightmare, and the unimaginable terrors within.

Pinkie Pie has gotten a job at a prestigious bakery in Manehatten. She moves into the city and gets a lovely little old house, complete with furnishings and old things. She finds a chest in the attic that seems sealed, and upon opening it, finds a puppet inside who speaks to her.
The puppet seems nice enough, and expresses an interest in Pinkie Pie and her life around the city. Pinkie has seen stranger things, and doesn't really question it, just opting to treat her new friend like she wouldn't any other friend. But things aren't as simple as she thinks they are.

This story is a sequel to Fake Smiles

Pinkie was not the happy pony she pretends to be, nor does she actually enjoy throwing parties or pranking, it's simply all she knows how to do. She was really terribly miserable, a result of her traumatizing home life and the lie she was forced to live. Ever since Rainbow stumbled across her and learned the truth, staying her friend regardless, she felt for the first time in a long time she could be happy.

Sadly, there is another who suffers the same way she does, and it's a pony she can't make happy, no matter how much she may want to or try.

Note: It isn't entirely necessary to read the first one to understand what's going on here, there is enough context and details given to get the gist, but I still highly recommend reading Fake Smiles first.

Never enter the woods alone, for there are monsters there. They can look like anything, even another pony. And if you waver in Gaea's love, you will become one.

When you fear the cure worse than the affliction, how can you ever hope to recover? For Berry Punch, there's never been an easy answer.

And when she is forced to confront consequences worse than any she could have imagined, it's just going to get harder.

With only her newfound desperation to drive her forwards, Berry Punch throws herself into what might truly be her last living attempt at recovery.
