This was my first ever attempt at writing a fanfiction, so please, go easy. But by all means, constructive criticism!

As night falls over Equestria, our gloomy cast reflects on their troubled lives and find happiness may not be so unreachable an outcome as they had previously thought.

Feedback appreciated.

(Rewrite of an earlier fic that was posted on this site)

It's another peaceful night in Ponyville. The Cutie Mark Crusaders are having a sleepover at Rarity's, and everything seems to be going great. Then suddenly, a scream shatters the night air, and peace of the night is broken. Scootaloo has awoken from a terrifying nightmare, one that involves her own violent death at the hands of someone she cares about. It is now up to her friends, plus a little help from the adults, to ease the filly's fear and dread.

Rainbow Dash has always been a highly motivated individual-always wanting to be a better flier, and as you all know she is very loyal. But what shaped her into such a pony? What drives Rainbow Dash to go ever faster? And when Ponyville is hit by something from Rainbow Dash's past, will her fear or her loyalty win?

Rainbow Dash-centric with a side of Spitfire.

An unfortunate event gives Princess Celestia a fresh view on her life by forcing her to see the world from a very different viewpoint. With Equestria changing around her, she is faced with a personal crisis... if she can ignore how cute a certain lavender unicorn suddenly looks to her.

And the story this was a sort-of prequel to.

Spitfire discovers Rainbow Dash crying on a cloud after a meeting with Derpy.
What could make this tough mare cry so hard?
