Finalist and judge's top choice in Equestria Daily's 2012 Nightmare Night contest.

Fluttershy has been plagued by nightmares, and Twilight wants to help her get rid of them. But when the bookish mare begins to pry into the depths of Fluttershy's unraveling psyche, she finds more questions than answers. What do her dreams mean? Why won't they stop haunting her? And why does the creature she keeps seeing inside them seem like more than just a simple night terror?

When a tragic event befalls Applejack, she takes drastic measures in an effort to prevent it. But can a simple farm pony make a difference in the face of an inevitable end?

A story about the sacrifices we aren't willing to make, and those that we are.

- Edited, attacked, and generally made better by Exuno.

Featured on EqD, rated Star-5.

Warning: Philosophically dark.

A lot has happened since Celestia and Luna disappeared nine hundred years ago. There are no wars, no diseases, no pain, no death. Princess Twilight, Discord, and Spike do everything to ensure that the utopia continues.

But even the most ideal paradises have ponies that wish it wasn't so.

Story inspired by Mister Saugrenu’s artwork 1000 Years in the Future.

Recently crowned Princess of Equestria Twilight Sparkle wakes up after a bender, and tries to piece together what happened.

Perhaps she should be Princess of Wine and Questionable Decision Making instead.

Rarity disagrees.

Starting a new school in a new country is difficult but nothing Octavia can't handle. That is, if she could just stop crushing on that silent girl in the sunglasses ...

Moondancer's first party meant a lot more to her than just rekindling old friendships.

I adapted this story on YouTube into an audio version for Pride 2021. It can be found here.

Rainbow Dash absolutely loves the Daring Do series, and she's aware that other ponies have written their own Daring Do stories. Once Rainbow Dash had finished the series, she needed something else to read. Perhaps some of the many fanfictions out there would be a good read, right?

Warning: this story contains explicit language and may upset certain viewers. Rainbow Dash gets very frustrated. Read at your own risk!

Submitted for the 31shotober challenge!

Sweetie Belle is getting to be that age. She's thinking thoughts she never thought before. One such thought is about babies; Where exactly do they come from?

And why is it so difficult to find the answer to that question?
