Waking up in the morning isn't particularly anything special. However, waking up in the morning next to the girl of your dreams with the tranquil hum of the early day is a different story entirely, one hard to believe in.

Ah, Nightmare Night. A holiday where happy little foals get to dress up as pirates and witches and whatever else tickles their fancy while roaming around getting delectable candies. The kids have fun, the adults think it's cute.

Yet under the giggles and playful cries... there are screams. The stories told to amuse the kids aren't all made up, the monsters they pretend to be don't live only in the imagination, and not everyone is out for the same kind of 'fun.' Dark things creep in Equestria's unnoticed corners, and Nightmare Night is their time to play. Tonight we shall watch them at their games. These are the tales of Nightmare Night that parents don't share with their children.

A big thanks goes to Cerulean Voice for taking time out of his busy schedule to edit Wonderful, Aurora and Sweet to Eat, and to RainbowBob for pre-reading.

A huge and happy 'thank you' also to Kvernikovskiy, originator of Researcher Twilight, for the commissioned cover art.

8/10, My Little Reviews & Feedback

After years of bringing up his only daughter as a single father, Bright Mac reflects on some of the moments that he had experienced with Apple Bloom as she was growing up from childhood to her teenage years. Raising a child on your own is no easy feat, and seeing them leave can be heart-wrenching.

Bright Mac has reluctantly accepted this and he knows that his little girl will succeed in whatever she may do in her life. Now, he wonders what he will do to fill the void that his baby girl used to fill around the house.

Every year, Twilight and her friends meet to catch up on really old times.

Ten years before Private arrived at Ponyville he was facing a much tougher challenge. That was what to do about his newborn baby brother Tailspin. Crippled and helpless Private has to decide what to do with him. The obstacles are many, but will Private's love for his brother prevail?

This story is dedicated to my own little brother. I love him to death even if I don't say it all the time. If he ever finds this...I love you bro.

A murder in small town Ponyville, a family divided, and a secret going back to Ponyville's early days. Detective Private Eye has the skills, the knowledge, and the cunning to solve the case. Accompanied by Twilight Sparkle the two hope to solve the mystery and put a stop to a plot against the town. But will Private be able to outrun his past or will it catch him in the end?

A Murder Mystery starring the cast from My Little Pony Friendship is Magic with flavors of Noir and Castle. If you love a good old fashioned mystery, complex characters, romance and even a little humor you will love this story. So sit back and enter the darker side of the pony universe.

The third case in the continuing saga of Private Eye. This time a pony close to Twilight is caught red handed for murder. What are his reasons? Did he really do it? As the evidence stacks up against ShiningArmor the tensions between Private and Twilight start to reach a dangerous level. Can Private keep his friend in check or will Twilight take matters into her own hoofs?

When Fluttershy crawls into a cave in order to save a small rat, Angel runs off looking for somepony to help her. As luck would have it, a simple earth pony happens to be walking nearby. And that earth pony would be you.

A short story meant to give some 'background' to some art I had commissioned. This idea came to me over the Christmas holidays and I just had to write it. It stars a certain older, more adult Spike in a future without Twilight Sparkle and her friends.
