Inspired by Edgar Allen Poe's "The Raven".

Basically Twilight Sparkle telling a ponified version of The Raven as a story to the Cutie Mark Crusaders.

All criticism is appreciated, whether positive or negative, as long as it is constructive.

Enjoy!

I'm not sure if this counts as "HiE". A human's mind is imprisoned in Celestia's consciousness...and the human is the bad guy.

In this story, our unsuspecting narrator, a simple human teenager named only John Doe, finds that his entire consciousness has been transplanted into Celestia's mind. But rather than him becoming the ruler of Equestria, he's completely helpless; a prisoner in an alien body, only able to communicate with Celestia when she goes to sleep and her subconscious defenses are lowered. Will he eventually overcome her defenses and wreak havoc on Equestria? Only time will tell.

Blue Skies, a relatively shy pegasus stallion, has always had feelings for Fluttershy, but has also been too shy to admit them. His best friend is Soarin', but befriending a wonderbolt isn't easy and Soarin' is just too busy nowadays to hang out with Blue Skies as much as he did when they were both little colts. He's hated that Fluttershy's been teased, but he's been too soft-spoken to stand up for her. What will happen when he confesses feelings for her?

How will Fluttershy react, indeed?
