Most ponies assume that something is wrong with Ditzy Do's eyes. Theories range from a head injury to a genetic disorder to muscle damage behind her eye. The crueler folk suggest she's just retarded. Nicer ponies say it's just a party trick she never got tired of.

They're all wrong. They're all very, very wrong.

I discovered the truth one day in conversation with her. One eye would always look at me, and the other would wander. At least, I thought it was wandering. So while we were talking, I followed it. Goddess in heaven I wish I had not. Never follow the other eye. Ever. Because Ditzy Do's eyes work fine.

She's just watching something. That... thing that's always in the corner of our eyes. And if she looks at you with both eyes?

Goddess save you.

Telling scary stories around the campfire is a long camping tradition, but when Applejack gets tired of hearing Rainbow Dash tell the same story with different words, she decides to share one of her own that her mother told to her, a long time ago. It couldn’t possibly be true, of course, no matter what Pear Butter had said all those years before.

It’s not as if anyone has ever seen any proof, after all.

A stallion is out climbing the mountains north of the Crystal Empire. When the glacier he and his companion are on cracks, he finds himself trapped deep within an icy crevasse, where hunger, sleep deprivation, and the bitter cold wear on his body and mind.

This story is a sequel to Alien: Twilight Signing Out

The Alien attack on Voluntas Station is over! Twilight and White Lightning took what they could during the escape, including Scootaloo. With death clouding their minds they all hope that it is all over, that Gash is dead and that it will all stay in Voluntas. They dream that their lives will move on and that the events will rest as memories and that they will heal and make room for new, positive memories.

However dreams are called dreams for a reason. After being rescued and brought to Fortwaid station for medical treatment and rest. The organism returns and with it, the slaughter! Twilight Sparkle, weak, hurt, and afraid must once again fight to survive. Could it be the end of the Xenomorph, or will Twilight find her own ending...in death?

Strange things happen in Ponyville. Foals start to disappear; their parents and siblings, struck by grief, will resort to every mean to find the cause. Some of them blame timberwolves; some blame the zebra living in the forest. Some of them even blame their fellow ponies. None of them, however, suspects a little filly suffering from insomnia...

Cuprolaminophobia: The fear of coins.

Diamond tiara was a rich, greedy foal. She thought that her daddy's allowance for her wasn't enough...so she decided to help herself to more. She always thought that the safe behind her dad's desk contained some of the millions he had. Filthy Rich always told Diamond Tiara to stay away from that safe. She just assumed that it was so she wouldn't help herself to his personal funds.

This is the story of why she now has Cuprolaminophobia...

Cold concrete beneath my hooves. Dim light of fluorescent moss growing on the walls. Strange sounds coming from below the floor...

I don't know how I got here. I don't know how to get out of here. There's only one thing I know...

I'm so scared...

Silver Spoon has always been fascinated with Diamond Tiara, and everypony knows it. They all see the longing sidelong glances, they all see the unflinching loyalty. They even see, and whisper about, the way Silver Spoon licks her lips when Diamond Tiara leaves the classroom.

Well, those rumors have finally made it to the ears of the blossoming socialite, and she's determined to confront her best friend about these hidden feelings. Oh, if she only knew...

Trigger warnings: stabbing, implied stalking, implied cannibalism

I'd like to take this moment to thank DeviantArt user Koviry for inspiring this story with their truly terrifying and beautiful artwork. Also, shout-out to Tzryylon5 for inspiring the inclusion of Silver Spoon's mother.
