Everyone gets scared of the dark sometimes. When you're a kid, you might need a nightlight to make all the bad stuff go away. When you grow up and grow old, though, sometimes that darkness has something special waiting for you, and no nightlight can shine it away. I'll just keep telling myself that if I don't look, it can't get me. Right?

Please Note: This reads more like stream of consciousness psychological creepiness, rather than monster or classical style horrors.

When a man needs a shave in Ponyville, there isn't really anywhere to go. After all, horses don't shave! So, you have no choice but to go to the most stylish pony in town for assistance: Rarity. Lucky for you, she's the helpful type, and is willing to make you look good as new. But at what cost?

...
Oh, and by the way, thanks for the idea Enigmatic Otaku. I hope you choke on a pineapple.

Something about this pony world just ticks you off today. Things are poorly designed, poorly written, poorly paced, and you can't help but be annoyed by everything you see. Obviously, the best thing to do about all this is to complain!
You know that someone's got to be at fault for the state of things, and hopefully someone, or somepony, will fix it for you.
...Even if you hate the word somepony, oh my god, be more original for once in your life!

Contains a lot of sarcasm and some wall breaking. But mostly just whining.

P.S. Now with working cover art!

Living in a studio apartment has its upsides. It's quiet, easy to clean, and it's all the space you really need! In fact, being in wide open spaces is kind of a problem for you, and coming home feels amazing after a grueling day outside. It's lucky you have Twilight there to make you feel comfortable and safe whenever you finally shut the door behind you.

Still, there's some part of you screaming that this safety and comfort isn't entirely a good thing. Feeling safe can't possibly be bad, can it?

Warning: This story is not a comedy, and deals with anxiety and phobia. NOT my normal fare.

Making money is kind of difficult in Ponyville, what with it being a small town. Luckily, Anon has found she's pretty darn good with kids, and there are plenty of parents who need a foalsitter. So far, nothing at all has gone wrong.
Until, that is, she's left taking care of a Pegasus foal. Nothing works like it should, nothing makes any sense! And it just. Won't. Eat! Hopefully, Rainbow Dash can lend her a hoof before the little darling starves to death.

Warning: Contains vomit. And Anon. Are you really surprised?

Nice clothes? Check. Bouquet? Check. Prettiest little nurse girlfriend of all time? Double check!

All that needs to happen now is for this big romantic surprise date plan to go off without a hitch. She'll be swept off her feet by dinner at a fancy restaurant, feel as special as she deserves to, and know that she is loved beyond a shadow of a doubt. It'll truly be a special night.
Well, assuming nothing goes wrong, but why would it?
No, of course not! Everything is definitely going to go perfectly according to plan.

Amazing art by Ezoisum, who you should go check out. Will take down if requested.

Spicy food and stress might be a part of your daily life, but it's finally caught up with you. You're in pain, the doctors wont help, and you're completely out of options. Well, almost out of options. Applejack has this zebra she knows named Zecora who just might be willing to help. But her help isn't quite what you had in mind.

Warning: Contains vomit and Anon. You decide which is worse

Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle are growing up. They've gotten their cutie marks, they know what their futures hold, and they're departing for greener pastures. But what of Scootaloo? She has yet to get her mark, and now she's alone, without much help to get it.

So...what happens to a pony that doesn't get her cutie mark?

Note: not comedy, not scootabuse, will contain Anon.

Why on earth or Equestria did you ever volunteer to fillysit Moonie? You're not too good around kids in the first place, and you've never dealt with baby ponies much at all. So, trying to take care of a tiny queen of the night is...well...a nightmare. But surely you can manage for one night if you really put your mind to it. It's just one little filly. How hard could it be?

Thanks for all the dawww over the years 8th-kun!

Everything should be all fun and games in Ponyville, but it's not. Not for you anyway. Not anymore. You've been noticing a lingering shadow following you, a strange ominous shape, and it's driving you to the brink of madness now. It's almost like this strange being wants to remind you of something that you desperately don't want to remember...

Contains Anon, not a comedy.
