This story is a sequel to Stay Golden

There are two things the Canterlot elite care about: blood and coin. At least, that is what a little filly has heard all her life. Young Marigold desires both... and with a strange amulet maybe she can have such things.

The dark shape beckons her, as does her own bloodlust. Her greed demands to be fed, and darker magics are willing to help her gain her fill of riches and ruin alike in the dour city of Manehattan.

If only the price was not a city.

A version of this story was scrapped and presented in a chapter of 'Missing Pages & Scrapped Footnotes'. The cover was commissioned from PurpleGrim40. Contribute to the TVTropes page! This is the SFW version of "Stay Golden" which I consider it the better, uncensored story. Posting permission granted by Majin Syeekoh. Edited by MissyTheAngle, Hellblazer, and Muggonny.

A short story I wrote back in 2017.
The action takes place in the universe of "The Last Pony on Earth" by Starscribe

Theodore Goobins was, by all accounts, a loser. Stayed cooped up in his house 24/7, rarely showered, had no social life, and was a total hermit. Terrified of social interaction, and the blood on his hands.

Though, he had one escape from his life of loathing and melancholic solitude. League of Legends. A game that he thoroughly enjoyed playing, but was only somewhat good at. But that didn't bother him much. He still had fun.

This was pretty much his life, until one fateful day he wins a special giveaway he didn't remember entering, earning him a flight out to an upcoming gaming convention!

It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and he had to take it. Social anxiety be damned. When he arrived, he soon found himself face to face with a rather eccentric cosplayer who donned the visage of the Merchant from resident evil 4, and knew more about Theodore than he liked.

Little did Theodore know, that this meeting would change the course of his life forever.

It's cold up north, but Reinbow Deer gets by. Mostly by looking after the littler members of the herd. But what's a deer to do when one fawn barges in babbling about some dark blue dream alicorn and a message that needs delivered?

No AU tag because.... of certain spoilers for the Gen 5 movie.

Now with a written review!

This is an entry in the Snippet Series, an anthology of old oneshots that I (and my good buddy Str8aura) wrote based around interesting pics I found. New ones will be posted every other Thursday for the foreseeable future.

Seriously, I racked my brain for hours, and I can't remember ever actually seeing a deer. You hear stories about them, sure, and they're all over the place, right? Then why hasn't anypony actually seen one with their own eyes? What's up with that?

The Map of Friendship has summoned Twilight Sparkle, Applejack, and Rainbow Dash and sends them on a quest to visit the far off Principality of Cervus, the homeland of the enigmatic deer species.

When they arrive it becomes rapidly evident why the map sent them there. They have never met a bigger race of cynical apathetic nihilists in all of their adventures. Now the three ponies have to do everything they can to help the deer cure their self-destructive tendencies.

Spoiler alert, it is one of the hardest friendship missions they have ever had.

After the events of another Everfree Thunderstorm, Fluttershy has a chance meeting with a strange creature she'd never seen before. He comes from a forest she's never knew existed, yet he came all the way to her abode to thank one of her forest friends. Their interaction is brief, yet both will walk away from this exchange with something unexpected- a better appreciation for friends.

Three university students, who were friends since childhood, travel to America as celebration for their 25th Birthday. Choosing Denver as their destination, they finish their final semester early and leave three days before May 1st, 2020. Our lead protagonist, Eileen, was the first to crash the night of the 1st, after some heavy drinking, leading to a vivid nightmare that she can't place. When she wakes up, life starts turning upside down for her and her friends.

Side fic based on Five Score, Divided by Four by TwistedSpectrum. The reading of that story is NOT required, but highly recommended, in order to understand what is going on in this one.

This story is a sequel to The Legend Of Nicholas

Nicholas is the resident human of Ponyville, accepted and loved by all the ponies, especially the foals. Every year on hearth's warming eve, Nicholas makes toys for every foal in town.

However lately, Nicholas has had strange dreams about himself, about a crystal star, and about an Alicorn. Every night he feel more and more restless, and somehow he feels he must go. Nicholas has always had questions about who he is, and why he is in Equestria.

Without knowing why, he has a feeling that this year he might find answers. Of course, that feeling is only made stronger when eight reindeer come for him during the night, asking him to travel with them to the far North.

It is time for Nicholas to face his destiny, and be who he was always meant to be.
