A mailmare. A treasure hunter. A botanist. A historian. A rambler. A retired guard.

Six travelers in a frozen forest in the middle of nowhere. None of them knows any of the others. These six people find themselves driven together into the only lodge for miles when a freak storm descends upon the land. But all they have to do is wait out the blizzard, and they can be on their way. Simple, right?

If only. As the storm rages with no sign of stopping, they gradually get to know each other more and more. They don't always like what they learn. And when your world has been reduced to a small common room, the tiniest of annoyances can simmer, fester, and boil over...

This story explores a dragon's nature somewhat, and spins a narrative of a middle-aged Spike regaling a visitor about the favorite item in his hoard: a statue of his favorite pony. It is a story about Spike, Rarity, reminiscing, letting go, and preserving that which is most precious to us.

He also harbors a dark secret.

Every day of his adult life, he has been fighting a monster he can't see, or taste, or touch. An evil that, if left unchecked, would ruin countless lives. A darkness that nopony else can ever know about.

Several ponies from the small town of Winter's Vale have gone missing. Scarlet Flame, an aspiring adventurer, intends to find them. Little does she know her investigation will lead her straight to the belly of the beast.

A quick one-shot story exploring an interesting idea I had.

Content warnings:

Missing Ponies: Soft oral vore, macro pred, internal scene, peril, implied digestion (non graphic)

Found: good end. Not much else to say.

Plus One: Bad end. Soft oral vore, macro pred, internal scene, peril, semi-grimdark, digestion (not described)

Found and Plus One are two different endings, read whichever one you prefer but note they don't both happen in the same timeline. Feedback is welcome.

The sole survivor of a sunken cruise ship finds himself stranded in the middle of the ocean, nowhere close to land and with very little to help him survive.

Being alone is bad, but not being alone might actually be even worse. Something is stalking him. Tormenting him. Something that can scare away even the most vicious of predators.

Dear Princess Celestia,

I'm sorry I haven't written in a while. Things seem to be falling through the cracks lately. Spike thinks I should go see the doctor, but...

If she had been a good little filly, she would have listened to her mommy and daddy and her teacher and the esteemed mayor of Ponyville. If She had been a good little filly she would have stayed indoors, hiding under her bed as she waited for the Royal Guard and the Princesses to arrive and deal with the dragon. If she had been a good little filly, the kind of child that always got what she wanted for Hearth's Warming, she would not be on the trail leading up the mountain, to where the dragon now rested.

Glitter Belle is not a good little filly. She is a curious one, whose curiosity has brought her face to face with a very, very large dragon. Let's hope it's in the mood to talk.

Whenever Time Turner touches a pony, he knows how and when they are going to die.

This makes living a regular life rather difficult.
