  • 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.

For so long I've been living life like a marionette on its last string. Only one thing kept me from falling into emptiness. That one thing that kept me going. It gave me a reason to pretend that life still mattered.

Only one pony in the world ever showed me a speck of kindness when I never deserved it. And now she's gone.

I'm falling, and the only thing that scares me is what I'll find when I hit the ground.

(Comments contain spoilers.)

A big thank you to PresentPerfect for his tireless help in editing this fic.

It's been six months since Tirek was defeated, but Trixie still has nightmares. Nightmares of being pinned down, of the magic being ripped from her bones, of being thrown around like a worthless doll. It's been six months since Trixie has had a full night's sleep, and all she wants is peace.

But Trixie is fine. Trixie doesn't need Twilight. She doesn't need her family. She doesn't need anyone. Trixie loves being alone.

So why can't she stop crying?


A completely revamped version of a fic written for the Writeoff Association's May contest, "I Regret Nothing," which was originally published under the name Fight Back.
Loosely inspired by the song of the same name by Five Iron Frenzy.
Rated 'Teen' for some minor violent imagery.
Art by Kas92. Thanks to Manaphy, Floydien, Horizon, Trick Question, Majin Syeekoh, Imaginary Valued, and Pascoite for their advice and insights. I love you guys, and I couldn't do anything if it weren't for all of you guys putting up with my ceaseless nagging.

[Canceled]
Discord was defeated. Villains always are. It’s really quite cliché.

Before he lost, he asked himself a question: what if your virtues went out of control, rather than your flaws? Perhaps if the heroes and villains weren't so clear-cut, the conclusion wouldn't be so inevitable. If nothing else, there would be some fun chaos along the way!

Can the main six find a way to undo Discord's magic, in spite of themselves and each other?


Disclaimer; I have been working on this for a while, and the writing at the beginning is not as good as the writing later. Hopefully it is not too great of an impediment to the story.

Editing by Meta Four, ocalhoun, Kuroi Tsubasa Tenshi, Sessalisk, Sereg, and JapaneseTeeth, all of whom are amazing. Go shower them with admiration!

Alternate cover by sstwins! Unfortunately I couldn't use it since it compresses badly on fimfic, but still worth a look!
