This story is a sequel to Inner Demons

Play this song first!

A long time ago, there were four friends. Two were ponies from Equestria, but one was an angel from Elysium, and the other was a demon of Tartarus. None of that mattered to them though, as they grew up, they tried to ignore their destinies, hoping that their friendship would prevail over fate. Oh how wrong they were.

Rarity now finds herself alone, trapped inside Elysium, given more questions at every checkpoint and forced to see memories of a past she shouldn't have any connection to. Why is she here? What do the angels mean mean that "her life isn't hers"?

And who is Vale?

This is a vital part of the Inner Demons series. Recommend reading Inner Demons first.

When did this happen?! Fragments of Truth added to the TV Tropes page?!

Monster attacks. Crime. Illegal hallucinogens made from electric fruit.

They say things didn't use to be like this. They say things were different, before Luna came back 60 years ago, but Detective Hard "Hardy" Boiled of the Detrot Police Department has never known any world other than that demarcated by the seedy streets of his beloved decaying metropolis; a world in which the coroners sing and dance, surveillance bugs have personality disorders, and the Chief of Police is a scarier entity than most of the eldritch things the city attracts.

The grey unicorn who turned up dead outside the posh High Step Hotel seemed like just another case, but her missing horn is the pointy tip of a very large and nasty iceberg. It's up to Hardy and his friends - a rejected monster hunter, a psychic cab driver, and an underground antiques heir - to find out what’s going on in an investigation that promises to stick more than a cupcake into the very eye of Detrot.

Especially if Hardy has anything to say about it.

When Rainbow Dash acquired a Daring Do costume when Berry Punch moved away, she figured she'd only be using it on Nightmare Night. But when Rarity is in dire need of emeralds for a special dress suit for Soarin', Rainbow Dash and Soarin' venture forth to retrieve them from the paparazzi infested Canterlot and are in need of disguises. While they're gone, Twilight learns that it's better to let your feelings out, rather than bottle them up. But are the feelings what she thinks they are?

After tiring of Twilight's hostile attitude, Discord decides to "help" the Elements of Harmony by bringing in an alternate version of each of them. These duplicates from various worlds aren't told anything about each other, which is good. The last thing Equestria needs is these monsters working together.

***Not too dark!***

Applejack from Bad Apples by... Bisque? It's hard to find an evil Applejack story.

What would you do if you woke up one day to find an Alicorn Princess Goddess passed out drunk on your doorstep, unable to be awoken? Rainbow Dash certainly has her hooves full with this one. How is she going to handle this??

Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Twilight, both princesses, and a couple of guards.
What do these ponies have in common?
Well, they all happened to be in the same room when THIS happened.

Shortly after the "Mare Do Well Incident" Twilight Sparkle examines each of the ponies involved in order more fully understand the idea of heroism. The outcomes for both Fluttershy and Applejack are quite underwhelming. However, studies with Rainbow Dash bring about some interesting results.

In the distant future, year 2205, the United Earth Government Expeditionary Fleet has spread the roots of mankind across planets in the most remote of places. Along the way, we have documented the life that thrives on these exotic worlds, learned much about the greater galaxy.

Expansion is key, and knowledge is power in this day and age.

Never before in any documented finding has man seen another sapient species beyond himself. When the scouting crews from the U.E.G.S Clarke suddenly find that they are not truly alone in the universe, it will be time to put to the test the First Contact situation they had never prepared for.

Rainbow Dash isn't afraid of anything, and she has better things to do than sit around worrying about some wussy emotions. But after reading the next Daring Do novel, she suddenly finds her feelings towards her friends changing- and not in ways she's comfortable with...

(May be subject to massive edits, depending on whether I can get over the obligatory irrational[?] hatred. Also, yes, I select the cover images pretty much at random.)
