I haven't eaten in days. I can feel the hunger inside me getting worse. It's clawing inside me like a raging beast ready to burst. I try to hold on, hoping for rescue for both of us.

Me... and my pony friend Earthstar.

Earthstar.

My friend.

My delicious friend.

Sometimes I dream of who I could be. A powerful figure, strong, unafraid. A valiant Knight who stands to protect the weak.

I never had the courage to make anything of myself, despite my dreams.

Until I found her.

This is the story of stallion with a pure heart who sought to make his dreams a reality, only to learn how harsh reality really is, and that sometimes, there's something far greater waiting than any dream could prepare you for.

Taking place in the same universe as Evil's Twilight and The Necromancer's Ambition, this story only uses canon up to and not including the season 3 finale.

This story is a sequel to Hocus Pocus

A few years have passed since the events of Hocus Pocus, and the lives of Ditzy Doo and her daughter Dinky have never been more exciting. Dinky's final year of study at Celestia's Academy for Gifted Unicorns is about to begin, and Ditzy's relationship with her coworker, Autumn Breeze, has blossomed into a beautiful partnership.

But when a figure from both ponies' past reappears, events quickly escalate out of control, and soon, Ditzy and Dinky find themselves wrapped up in what may be the greatest crisis Equestria has ever faced.

In this final chapter of the Shipping and Handling trilogy, two ponies learn about the greatest magic of all.

(Excluding the prologue and epilogue, takes place 3+ years after Hocus Pocus, and between seasons 8 and 9 of canon MLP.)

Side (semi-canon) story to Starlight over Detrot: a noir tale

Hard Boiled's life has taken a really rough turn of events since the demise of Ruby Blue. Dying is actually quite far from the top of that list. But everyone needs a break once in a while, be they an undead detective with a colt's soul in his transplant heart or a partially transformed biomagical killing machine.

Thing is, long vacations are such a hassle to organize, so a night out is the best he can do on short notice. With that, he's decided to make good on a deal he's made with his partner: Swift Cuddles will go on a date with the Warden of Tartarus, the constantly burning mare on fire, if he goes on the date with her best friend, the prissy secretary of the Vivarium with a huge crush on Hardy himself, Scarlet Petals.

Special thanks to Chessie and crew for making the story that's gotten me hooked enough to write my first fanfic for this site.

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

Reading by Lotus Moon

As she begins to transition from her school life to the real world, she realizes she has no idea what to do!

Welcome to the Kesho Saga. What you are about to read is a story about the son of King Sombra, Kesho, going through an adventure to master his newly acquired powers and stop three rogue villains from obtaining them for themselves. The way he'll do it however, is up to you and many others.

The choices he makes, the major decisions he will decide, will be up to the cast of readers. Each choice will change the course of the story as well as Kesho himself and how others around him will view him.

Will Kesho master his powers and use them to save Equestria? Or will he follow in his father's footsteps, and embrace the darkness?

(Rules are simple. End of every chapter has a choice. Just leave your vote with a review. Reviews don't have to be real reviews, can be just a vote. And one vote per person.)

Dreamwalking was never an easy thing for Princess Luna, especially when it comes to dealing with nightmares in other ponies. When Pipsqueak starts having an especially bad case of night terrors, Luna goes to investigate. What she finds shakes her to the core and forces her to confront traumatic experiences from her past.

Lunaris is a land of covered in a blanket of darkness and snow. The Lunar Empire has dominated the land for countless years, with a mysterious entity in control who rules over the citizens with an iron hoof. The land is crawling with many dangers, both in its unforgiving residents, and in the ferocious monsters seemingly from another world...

Legends speak of a time where all was right, when the land was bright and dry, and the moon served as an equal to the light. Many ponies strive to finish what the Fallen 6 set out to do. To drive out the night and bring forth the light. This rebellion has been crushed many times, however, and hope of brighter days is quickly fading from the hearts and minds of Lunarians.

United through a simple phrase, a brash mage, a philosophical psychic, and an experienced warrior must come together and brave many dangers throughout the land as they try to bring harmony back to the land of Lunaris.
