If there's one thing Twilight loves, it's learning. Every day she takes a few hours to sit and study, maybe read a book or do an experiment. But today was different. Today she looked at the clock.

And thought.

My name Is Pinkamena Diane Pie, but of course you already know that. I want to know why you did this to me, why you all made my life a living hell, why must I be the one to live a life full of torment!?

*Author's notes*

This can be seen as a little experiment, I have no idea if this a good idea to be honest... But I decided to write it none the less. I also want to thank a friend of mine Aroy for all the help he give me,even though this is super short this was actually the hardest thing I've ever wrote, I'm not exactly sure why either. So thanks for helping me write this and readers... I hope this makes you think!

[One-shot] Ponies tend to assume a lot of things about you, based on who you are. And sometimes, you can start believing those assumptions yourself. It's not until we look past the surface that we can see what's really going on.

Spike is a kind, loyal, selfless dragon. To many, he's not only Twilight's number one assistant, but rather an assistant to the entire town. Tragedy strikes when the adolescent succumbs to a fatal illness. It hits the townsfolk hard, especially Twilight Sparkle.

Sulking in her own despair, the faithful student asks herself the same, fruitless question: 'How does one cope with losing their only son?'

Sadness Porn at its smuttiest. You've been warned.

Humans... humans are such a bizarre race. Capable of the greatest benevolence and the worst atrocities. And yet, they're so very predictable. For you see, while societies may die, and nations may crumble, one thing will remain constant: the desire to survive.

I should know. I was there when everything fell.

Has anyone ever wondered which philosopher each of the mane six was like? Perhaps Pinkie Pie would benefit from Mill's Eudaimonic Utilitarianism, maybe Rarity would approve more of Aristotle's continuing advancement towards perfection, Twilight Sparkle may approve more strongly of Hume's atheist skepticism, Fluttershy might like the idea of Singer's animal rights activism, Applejack may like Descartes' need to understand what is true and what is not and Rainbow Dash may think that all philosophy is stupid and more time should be spent on doing real things rather than just thinking about them (like Gallileo).
Now, imagine what would happen if these six decided to enter into a philosophical debate...

True, heart-stopping terror takes many forms:

Foul beasts roaming the dark who consume their victims, flesh and soul.
The object of one's affections finding a diary they weren't meant to.
Being tardy.

But until now, Equestria has not known the meaning of fear. The past's petty concerns and phobias mean nothing this day, for today, Equestria shall experience unimaginable horror. Today, Pinkie Pie becomes a unicorn.

Princess Celestia writes a report to her teacher on what she has learned about mortality.

Twilight's life is treading on very thin ice, and the only hope is for her to open her eyes, tonight. After a conversation with the doctor about Twilight's condition, Celestia enters her room and talks to her. After all, it might be their last night together.

This story is a sequel to Inner Demons

Play this song first!

A long time ago, there were four friends. Two were ponies from Equestria, but one was an angel from Elysium, and the other was a demon of Tartarus. None of that mattered to them though, as they grew up, they tried to ignore their destinies, hoping that their friendship would prevail over fate. Oh how wrong they were.

Rarity now finds herself alone, trapped inside Elysium, given more questions at every checkpoint and forced to see memories of a past she shouldn't have any connection to. Why is she here? What do the angels mean mean that "her life isn't hers"?

And who is Vale?

This is a vital part of the Inner Demons series. Recommend reading Inner Demons first.
