  • 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.

[ Gothic Horror / Ghost-Story Mystery ]

Nopony knows where she came from, or who she was.  No book describes her origin, no story of her was ever passed down, but since the it’s founding, the woods outside the seaside town of Serenity Falls have been haunted.  Nopony even knows the name of the mare who stalks the woods, all she is known as is...

The Mare In White.

“and perhaps someday, we can prove, once and for all, that there is no such thing as ghosts!”

Twilight Sparkle is about to learn that some secrets are better left covered...


Speedfic I wrote based on an idea I'd been rolling around in my, head... Just in time for Nightmare Night! I've already got this one fully written, and read a draft of it at the local fanclub's Nightmare Night party to a lot of praise. (although, granted, I run the local fanclub) I will be posting it as I proofread through it, with the intent of all chapters being up in time for the 31st.

Because people will inevitably ask... NO. This will NOT be a gorey "horror" story, where I brutally murder the ponies, just a ghost story. Remember guys, there are tags for all those things, and you should trust that I'd put them if I intended to focus on that...

For a princess, there's no greater honor than holding dominion over a celestial body, and now Twilight is given the opportunity to make her mark upon the night sky.

If only somepony had taught her how to do it.




*Story takes place close to the end of Season 6
*Teen Rated for tongue-in-cheek teasing and less-than-conventional relationships. Suggestive, but nothing explicit shown.
*Features a romance, but more of the budding kind than characters chasing. Between: Luna and Twilight
*Editing Help and Advice during the writing from Sweet Sensei ClanCrusher

*Edit: While the story and premise has aged with the series finale. I hope readers can still find pleasure in the themes written.

In her short time on the Wonderbolts roster, Rainbow Dash has become the star atraction of the locker room with her wild stories. It was amusing at first, but Spitfire's gotten sick of it.

And that's where the problem really started, Chief Rights...
