My attempt at putting, in order from bottom to top, all of the stories from Valorousspectre's Phobia series. These are the UPDATED versions, and unfortunately trying to figure out which was which is extremely difficult, but I am doing my best. For a somewhat comprehensive list of all the current stories names, please check this post:

308803 To be honest? I'm not sure. I guess, since I gave them all something they fear? Okay, that's not exactly true. They all revolve around a fear in theme I suppose. Paranoia? Demon is paranoid, and for good reason. Oneirophobia's reasoning is explained as Talisman's terror of sleeping at a young age. Athazagoraphobia, or the fear of being forgotten by someone close to you, is something that the main character, Ranger, feels very keenly. Noctiphobia is fear of the Night. I'm not sure I need to explain that one.
Claustrophobia is the fear of enclosed spaces or being incapable of escape. Since I'm rewriting that one from scratch (Still in planning phases due to other projects) I can't explain it without spoilers.
Agliophobia, the fear of pain, is a Pinkie Pie story, and her partnering character, Rapture (not as in 'sunken city overrun by splicers', but as in 'Rapturous Joy') who doesn't cope well with pain, physical or otherwise.
Pyrophobia? No need to explain that one, just read it and you'll understand :S
Atychiphobia is the fear of failure, and in the eyes of Xero, the main character, failure is not an option.
Catagelaphobia, or the abnormal fear of ridiculed, which is actually a very serious fear, and can lead to frequent mental breakdowns. This is Spike's story.
And of course, Automatonaphobia, or the crippling fear of everything that falsely represents a sentient being, or the fear of 'automatons'. this is basically part two to Xero's story, and the climax of the series.
All of the titles have something to do with the story, whether in a direct way, or a roundabout way. That's the only reasoning I can come up with for you sir. Sorry it took so long to answer.
288749 why do your stories have something to do with a fear
Paranoia is now officially completed! Now working on the next tale, Oneirophobia. Oneirophobia, for those who don't know, is the fear of dreams or dreaming. In this tale, a nondescript looking stallion calls into town. Brown coat, brown mane, brown tail, blue eyes. He's an easily forgotten type of pony, one who you would glance at one second and forget the next. The only thing strange is the stone around his neck.
But this stallion is far from ordinary, as Twilight Sparkle and her friends find out. Possessing an ability no mortal pony in their right should ever own, Talisman and Twilight slowly, tenuously and sometimes frustratingly get to know each other. But a visit to Zecora sees our favorite librarian fall ill with a mysterious sickness just as the gang is called to Canterlot.
With Twilight out of the picture, it falls to Talisman and the others to stop the sudden destructive force hell bent on tearing Canterlot Castle down at the molecular level, but will it be enough?
