  • Favorites 65 stories - 96 unread chapters I liked these, and you should too.




  • Write-off Rereads 24 stories Stories so nice, I hope to eventually get around to reading them twice. This is a special-case RiL list of edited, published versions of fics I read during the writeoffs.


  • Why I Followed You 86 stories You're probably seeing this shelf because one of your stories is on here. Well, the shelf name should explain that.


  • Pennydroppers 19 stories Stories that make you go "Ooohh... shit." Almost always short, dark, and served with a twist. See "The Cost of Life", "The Arbitrage of Moments", "Happy Ending", "The Rose", or "The Corpse Bride" for the most prototypical examples.


  • Creepy Stories About Flowers 6 stories Why is this a thing? Why is the certificate icon the closest one available to a flower shape (unless you count Apple *Bloom*)? Who knows!?


  • 1. Necromancy -- General Reference 2. Black Magic -- General Reference 3. Death -- General Reference 19 stories SPIIIIKE! I thought I told you to put those on a shelf too high for the CMC! [After "Demise Reprise", I'm tempted to make a "Rainbow dies messily and frequently" spinoff shelf]


  • Fates Worse Than Death 17 stories "Hey, Pterrorgrine, what do you read when you want to feel hopeless and despondent and fearful of the agony of existence itself?" "Oh, you know, My Little Pony fanfiction and stuff."


  • The Royal Treasury 8 stories


  • Readable by Non-Bronies 6 stories JOIN THE HERD


  • The Big Three 3 stories These fics, between them, set me on the course from "yeah, I may like My Little Pony, but fanfic is for turbo-nerds" to millions of words read.

'Unseen and unheard: They must never know'.

That's the motto of the CMAA, the Cutie Mark Allocation Agency. Nopony knows who they are or what they do, but they're vital to the workings of Equestrian society.

This is the story of two of these unsung heroes of the pony world, who selflessly sacrifice their time and energy for those blasted mysterious cutie marks that the ponies seem to like so much.


(Thanks to Zemious for the excellent cover picture for this story!)

Ponies like snuggles. Spike likes to give snuggles. But Spike is a five-hundred-foot tall dragon, and finds it difficult to give snuggles without accidentally popping the pony like an overripe tomato in a hydraulic press. Spike believes he has found a solution.

Part of the Hellpiercer 'verse, but knowledge of that story is not required.

In this one-shot idea, Fluttershy asks her friend Discord if he would be interested in taking up the job as a teacher at the new School of Friendship. Discord agrees to teach them something if he were given a chance to test-drive it by having a few students to see if he would take up the job. What follows is a lesson on the meditations of Reniegh Haycartes.


A special thank you to DuskHeart13, The Hat Man and SashimiPony for taking the time of proofreading this.

Note: this and its sequels were written before "Matter of Principles."

What happens when you realize that your feelings for one of your friends aren't quite the same as your feelings for the rest of them? Do you just prefer some friends for others, or is it a sign of something deeper? What do you do with those feelings? Hide them? Admit them? And how will the rest of your friends react when they find out?

Twilight is going to have to do her best to find the answers, because they're anything but obvious.

------

Yes, this is a story about romance, but I'm trying to use it to explore the relationships between the characters and see how they'd really react if romantic feelings ever did crop up, and how such a development would impact the cast as a whole.

Now with a TvTropes page!

There's also a dramatic reading in progress on youtube, here.

And also an updated verison of the cover, courtesy of Novel Idea.

Ponyville is a lovely little place. Despite its loveliness, I have always been rather lonely.

That is, until you moved to town.

I think this could be the start of something beautiful, don't you?


"A[n] effectively chilling piece."- Horse Voice

.. wha? – Luzz

Well, that started off weird, then got creepy and then...I approve. - Admiral Biscuit

A bit unsettling, sure, but too vague for me. – Spectral

This was decent. It could have been more subtle/mysterious in places to make it creepier. - jeray2000

Splendid story. Came here on a recommendation and certainly wasn't disappointed. – Orbiting Kettle

I really loved this. It got way darker than I was expecting. Loved the slow buildup. When I finally realized who it was about, my heart sunk. - Protopony350

If you are easily disturbed by your inconsolable fear of the unknown, do yourself a favor, and run as fast as you can.

"A Story about You" is a literary device from Welcome to Night Vale. It is not mine, this literary device. It is theirs. You don't need to be familiar with them, to become familiar with this. Find them by doing a quick search of the terrifyingly vast void we call the internet.
