I like things that are spooky or cute. Now with kofi.

Dream demons.

If they kill you in your nightmares, you die in real life. Thankfully, they only have one chance to get you before they can never enter your dreams again.

These days, they’re mostly a joke. Ponies figured out all the rules surrounding them ages ago. Young fillies even throw ‘nightmare night’ parties to mass inoculate themselves in relative safety.

And yet…

Every once in a long while…

A 24k word horror comedy? Now that's something I'll happily sink my teeth into!

“Did you really think our ‘friendship’ was any more than an overly elaborate plot for me to devour your kidneys?"

Yep, that sounds like high school alright.

Awesome story! Thank you!

“You’re not my buddy, Snails!” Diamond Tiara stood up and flipped his desk over. “You blew your chance! Consider our friendship over!”

He's not your Snails, friend!

Two mares huddling for warmth, because it's cold and they're totally not gay.

WHat a wonderful NOT-A-SHIP fic to add to my collection.

In all seriousness, I truly and duly did anjoy the comedy and horror. You have a talent for mixing the genres together in an organic way that has both feed into one another.

It's just a different society where it's okay to sleep in the same bed! I swear! Any similarity to shipping is purely coincidental.

But thank you.

AND THERE WAS ONLY ONE BED.

I love your work. If you ever get hardcopies going of your work, definitely buying one.

As somebody who really enjoyed Silver Spoon and the crew in Broad Daylight, it was a nice little horror story for Halloween, great work! :twilightsmile:

DT is for Applebloom.

there's a reason why ponies have four hooves. WHy have angsty pining when you can HAVE THEM ALL!

“I could tell.” Gloria snicked. “I think it was Gloria.”

Ummm...?

This setting always takes you by surprise. The concepts are usually all parody and references, but the execution is so high quality, with high stakes, creative fights, and the real monster slaying being the friends you made along the way (as Celestia intended). Loved the climax in particular for this story.

Hey it's consistent with Rainbow and Twilight sharing a bed! Totally normal in pony culture. Not shipping at all.

The portrait bit was the creepiest part for me. That vagueness gets under my skin much more than an actual description could.

That was a good story.

Outstanding work, with a great arc from farce to genuine horror to triumph. Thank you for an engrossing Halloween tale.

“Oh, I remember when the dream demons tried to kill me.” Mr. Rich chuckled. “They gave me a nightmare that the entire economy collapsed, hoping I’d jump out the window of my high rise. Guess they didn’t know about my little friend the ‘short sale’, eh?”

LOL

Silver's nightmare is a great setting.

Silver Spoon opened her eyes, rejoining the world of light.

So demon is still with her and they can mess with it even more next night? (also, isn't it a good idea to have already immune folks in shared dream?)

“That was just one of the dream demons,” Silver Spoon corrected him. “There’s at least six more out there. Maybe they’re not as stupid.”

Well, if there's only 7 of them how are they able to do 80% of population? :derpytongue2:

I'll say they actually go to a huge number of dreams each night due to the time-distortion effect. Snails was just the last one from the previous night.

I wonder what exactly SS figured out. Maybe it has something to do with DT's mom.

11432947
I dunno if you want me to spell it out but yeah, her mom got drunk and fought with / hit her father while DT hid in her room upstairs... is the implication.

Well, that was horrifying. I thought Diamond had it rough, but my god does Gloria deserve a hug.

Great chapter!! I'm excited to see how it all goes wrong for the party!

Oh my gosh, I love how you write horror! Silver's nightmare is so desolate. When she is so much more capable than her friends, she has no one to rely on. She's alone...

Amazing chapter as always!

Great fic! I love it!!

This was a fun tale full of twists and turns. I particularly love the demon’s reaction when it realizes they’ve ganged up on it.

Oh! I assumed it was a fear of getting exposed to toxic waste her father's company produced, like it was pointed out might happen in one particular case in "A Witch in Broad Daylight"!
