This story is a sequel to The Adventures of Batsy Fluffentuft the Magnificent

Batsy Fluffentuft makes her daring escape. A certain street performer catches her eye. Possibly the only pony in Equestria with an ego to rival her own...

Naturally, a contest is in order. Will Batsy's ego survive?
Probably not.

"Sex" tag for dirty humour. Just to be safe.

Written for ocalhoun's 250k contest!

Batsy Fluffentuft (not the most respected of the lunar guards, and in fact on super-probation from Princess Luna herself) manages to escape into the town of Canterlot and have herself an adventure.

A rainy night at a bar really brings out stories from within ponies. During a game of poker, Equestria's rogue list, including Nightmare Moon, Chrysalis, Discord, and Sombra, plus another, the baddies start sharing stories. The similarity; the telling of how they almost won their most famous defeats.

Loosely based on the episode, "Almost Got 'Em" from Batman the Animated Series

Moondancer reads every book in existence and has an existential crisis.

Reading by Lotus Moon

While Moondancer has learned about the value of friendship, she seems to have a hard time making friends. Lemon Hearts decides to give her some support.

On a cold Hearths Warming night, a mare goes back to her home in Canterlot.

Pinkie Pie sits alone in a room with an unopened box. What's in the box, you ask?

Only everything.

Near the Baltimare coast, stands the Timely Manor. Home of the eccentric, wealthy, and macabre Baroness Bronco Grimmane. It's Nightmare Night in war-time, and she's decided to put together a party the likes of which no one has seen before. She invites the world's greatest sleuths to solve the perfect crime.

A hundred years later to the day, the Timely Manor still stands and invitations have been sent to the appropriate addresses. Invitations in hoof, a motley assortment of scavengers decide to see what this party is all about. But it proves to be nothing as whimsical as once intended.

[My entry for the Fallout: Equestria group's 2015 Halloween contest. Basically a parody of the movie Murder by Death (which is itself a parody) with some horror elements with which I was experimenting. Also the backstory for a puzzling Fo:E PnP I am running. ]

Monster attacks. Crime. Illegal hallucinogens made from electric fruit.

They say things didn't use to be like this. They say things were different, before Luna came back 60 years ago, but Detective Hard "Hardy" Boiled of the Detrot Police Department has never known any world other than that demarcated by the seedy streets of his beloved decaying metropolis; a world in which the coroners sing and dance, surveillance bugs have personality disorders, and the Chief of Police is a scarier entity than most of the eldritch things the city attracts.

The grey unicorn who turned up dead outside the posh High Step Hotel seemed like just another case, but her missing horn is the pointy tip of a very large and nasty iceberg. It's up to Hardy and his friends - a rejected monster hunter, a psychic cab driver, and an underground antiques heir - to find out what’s going on in an investigation that promises to stick more than a cupcake into the very eye of Detrot.

Especially if Hardy has anything to say about it.
