Daring Do has never turned away from a challenge. But when she finds herself trapped beneath an ancient temple with a haunted artifact, she may end up wishing she'd stayed home instead.

First place story in the Equestria Daily 2013 Nightmare Night Contest!

This story is a sequel to If I Could Rearrange The Alphabet...

A year before Vinyl Scratch and Octavia moved in together, they went on a "couple's vacation". There was arguing, bickering, loving, and caring. What else would you come to expect from two deeply in love women? Even before they knew they were truly in love... This time together on their vacation perhaps would define their relationship and the tribulations it held.

Prequel to If I Could Rearrange The Alphabet...

Humanized ponies; for your own future information.

A story told primarily in first person and third person alternating with cues.

Rainbow Dash is unfortunately one of the very few mares in Ponyville with an eye only for other mares, and that makes finding a hookup pretty tough. Knowing that the odds are against her never got to her, and that much hasn't changed, but when the odds that seemed so in her favor fail her, she takes a bad kick to her pride and decides to patch it up with a few strong drinks.
Upon reaching the pub, however, she meets an old acquaintance that seems to know just how to bring out her old self. The two get drunk and find their way to Vinyl's apartment for the night, and though nothing really happens that night, an old spark quickly heats things up.

Critics Welcome!
Short little thing because I found Industrial music and 'cause reasons. No, there is no actual clop inside. Yes, it's RainbowScratch, and you know what? I'm kind of proud of this one. Also!
If you don't like this because of the pairing, please move along! If you don't like it because I fucked up, please tell me what I did!
Thank you.~CC

Vinyl Scratch liked to party. Octavia liked to enjoy life a bit more quietly. That was until Vinyl took out a loan she couldn't repay. Now she’s on the run from an insane loan shark that has too many spare thugs and a lot of cash to throw away. To put the icing on top, the unicorn has dragged her new, once sheltered friend into the mess with her. Now the DJ and the cellist must try to escape with their lives. Along the way, will they find that they can't stand each other, or will they discover something else about themselves together?

A special thanks to The Abyss and Tenderheart who edited and advised on parts of this story.

The one, the holy, the incredible Fluttershy has descended down from her heavenly sanctuary and blessed us with the presence in my story. Bow to her, you fools, or a single look of hers will disintegrate your very souls. Eternal damnation is just a couple of false words away, be prepared. Don't fall for her trap, playing a simple, mortal pony, because she really is an eternal goddess that will punish you for your sins.

A world of unending water has something lurking in its depths. It’s up to Twilight Sparkle to submerge herself and her rag-tag group of friends into the mystery that lies below the sea.

Takes place in the break between Season 2 and Season 3.

Artwork is by the ever so lovely Pashapup!

Princess Celestia sends Twilight to a human school to learn how to be more human in case another incident happened... but what Twilight finds is that Yokai Academy is nothing like the human world she went to before. Will Twilight be able to return to Equestria in one piece, or will she be overtaken by the monsters at Yokai Academy first?

I recommend going onto Wikipedia for those of you who have never seen the Anime series Rosario+Vampire. It'll help give you a better understanding of the characters

In the first rays of the Sun on the eve of Her Ascension, I killed an Angel of the Sun in fear. And though the Sun gave to me forgiveness, I could not forgive myself. Glory be unto God and may eternal rest forever be Hers. Amen.

Three words, spoken as calmly as a comment of early rain on a spring day, made the goddess who received them to forget how to breathe for one long minute.
