The Blot: an unearthly darkness, hostile towards all forms of life. This deadly enigma has swallowed up Ponyville, turning the once-thriving town into a pitch-black wasteland. In this new world, food and water are scarce, and the most precious resource of all is light.

Now, two survivors, Tinker Toy and his son, Gearhead, huddle in their home-turned shelter, hiding from the darkness. Without any contact with the rest of the world, father and son must work together to survive the waking nightmare they once called home.

Special thanks my pre-readers Rye Bread, jeray2000, sevenofeleven, and Mcstuffins!

Like many things in the wide, wide bubble of absurdities, this should have never happened; Discord should have never wooed Applejack. But he did. And there isn't a damn thing she can do about it.

Rated "Teen" for suggestive themes and crude humor. Enjoy!

A response to this thread. Praise be thee, TheOneBehindYou, for her insight on the matter; Fimiction simply doesn't have enough AppleCord... But it starts today. And it starts with me. (A special thanks to Pearple Prose for suggestions and pre-reading.)

Now with audio reading by the wonderful obabscribbler!

Every week, Equestria's princesses take a break from ruling their kingdom and discuss life. Usually over coffee.

Here are their assorted conversations.

"Mind thy work. Honor thy kin. Stay away from Holder's Boulder."

Marble disobeyed the warnings.

In the time before Celestia and Luna, countless ages before the founding of Equestria and the union of the three pony tribes, Harmony and Discord were at war to control a chaotic world. One sought to create unity and peace; the other to prolong the wars and deepen the divides. However, Discord always wanted more; and when he begins to take it, not even Harmony can stop him.

On the path to his new destiny, Discord unleashes chaos unlike the world has ever seen in order to get the one thing he truly desires: a body.

"I've got crabs."

Those three little words, spoken to Rainbow Dash over the phone, set Canterlot High School on fire.

Because even though most of the student body has forgiven Sunset Shimmer for her past transgressions and she has more friends than ever now, some gossip is just too juicy to ignore.

Besides, everybody's more than a little curious as to the finer details--and who else might be dealing with the same problem.

(Rated Teen for discussion of sensitive topics.)

Celestia has been waiting for this night her entire life; Twilight Sparkle has been destined to come for years upon decades upon centuries. But she didn't know to expect her student like this.

She steels herself anyway. She pours some tea, and welcomes Twilight with open hooves.

Then the two of them have a talk.

Troubled youths like Sunset Shimmer and Trixie Lulamoon can end up on a dangerous path. They can fall through the cracks in the system, spiralling into a vicious cycle of self-destruction and crime. They can become a disgrace to their families, their school, and their Nation.

That's why Principal Celestia has asked Twilight Sparkle to return and find a way to set them back on the straight and narrow. Twilight, being the Princess of Friendship, knows exactly how to solve the problem.

They have to perform but one simple task ...

Review by Present Perfect

He had to look down to see her. A pony, a creature no bigger than a goat, stood on his doorstep. Her pale blue fur and ragged, blood-red mane couldn’t have looked more out of place in a town of goats and minotaurs. Kev stared at her, wondering what to do. His father would’ve chased her away with a club and a string of obscenities. His grandfather would’ve eaten her. His great grandfather would’ve eaten her and not gone to prison for it.

A story about one minotaur’s relationship with his society, his family, and his wife.
