When ponies talk in groups, you can never quite make out what they're saying. Follow them around and you'll notice they follow very specific patterns. It's the same thing, day in and day out. It never rains unless the entire town is depressed. The weather is controlled, there are no criminals or existential threats. There's never any sadness that isn't fixed after a half hour of talking. No conflict left unresolved.

I've noticed all this in a week. And the more I look, the more I feel like I'm slipping into madness.

This place isn't real.

A human living in Canterlot castle is given to Queen Chrysalis as part of peace negotiations between Equestria and the Hive. Celestia knew she shouldn't have let Luna finish the negotiations herself.

There’s crying coming from down the hall; I’d felt the sound bounce along my spine long before my ears fully registered it. When this all began, I didn’t comprehend what a ‘mother’s intuition’ entailed, despite what the words written within my dog-eared parenting books said. But oh, how I understand now—these past few weeks have been quite the learning experience.

Character and content warnings will be included as spoilers in the author's note at the top of the fic.

It is not every day that you learn that a monster of legend is real, let alone friends with Rarity. If she had heard of the old stories, perhaps she would be more cautious. Or more daring.

{This story has two versions, the last chapter is the first person version.}

It's Nightmare Night in Ponyville once again, and the Cutie Mark Crusaders invite new friend Diamond Tiara to join in one of their favorite traditions; the classic game of Ghosts in the Graveyard! The rules are simple, and the game is easy and fun for everyone.

But the cemetery, like the game, has rules. And when those rules are broken, consequences are never far behind...

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Inspired by the classic children's game with some mild influence from the haunted house "Graveyard Games" from Universal Studios Florida's Halloween Horror Nights 29.

Written for the Halloween in April Horror Contest with the Barcast.

Sunset Shimmer has a stan account, which is the second most embarrassing thing one can have.

The first is that it’s a Rainbooms stan account.

Sprout gets tired of buying new ink cartridges for her printer and decides to plant one to see if she can grow her own.

This story is a sequel to Made In Equestria

A woman trying to scrape by making money "dancing" finds herself ensnared and taken to a strange factory.

A continuation of the theme of Made in Equestria, but this time with a changeling hive that's established itself on Earth and needs some fresh bodies to become their workforce.

Spoilers: TF (transformation), unwilling

Thief? Yeah, but it's not like I steal stuff from people. Old industrial sites, crash sites—all things that have been insured or abandoned. This place, though... This factory seems odd.

A little note, this has something approaching personality death (up to interpretation). If that's not your thing, you may want to click elsewhere.

A factory-TF of a human female into a pegasus male. There's hypno/mind-control/whatever you want to call this. Someone gave me a prompt and I wrote it.

Whoops! Added a second chapter! That means there's also a human male to unicorn female for good measure.

First chapter is First person. Second chapter is third.

Barry, local human, is even more local now having finally finished moving in with Twilight.

He also brought his books, much to her delight, even if some of them leave much to be desired.

She rectifies this.
