As Apple Bloom escorts a drunken Applejack home, Applejack decides to tell her the story of how Equestria came into existence and how ponies were made.

What little of it she can remember, anyway.

Mystery. Love. Magic. Murder. Truth. These are all important elements in the murder mystery Fluttershy has written, and is now asking Twilight to read. But the novel stars 'Twilight Sparkle', and she wrestles with the metafictional dissonance involved in reading a novel about herself and her friends. Twilight must do her best to solve the mystery, reconcile her own feelings about this ordeal, and figure out just what Fluttershy is trying to say by writing all of this in the first place as the lines between fiction and reality begin to blur.

This is a thematic crossover with the visual novel 'Umineko No Naku Koro Ni.' No prior knowledge of Umineko should be necessary.

A broad, clear path runs through a deep wood on the far side of Ponyville.

No one goes there.

Four young colts want to know why.

This story is a sequel to Sunsplit

"...okay, ow. My head hurts. I wonder how long I've been--oh, who are you?"

The end of day draws near and the streets fill with revelers. It is a time for merriment, joy, happiness. A day to celebrate the Summer Sun. It is at this moment that memories of past, present, and future come together to walk side-by-side, to learn what might have been. To know of pain within.

A world of thanks to the wonderful proofreaders who have helped me with this story: dragonridergoku, Mcstuffins, and Algoroth Ironstone!

Behind Celestia's graceful smile and kind eyes, secrets are hidden with a thousand years of practice. The whispered legends of her depravity hide a dark grain of truth, hidden in the mists of time: the clash with Nightmare Moon left her with scars that will never heal.

This was written before Season 4: it's in a Season 3 universe.
An eighth chapter, by Icebox Froggie, is on its way, and will be added to the story at some point.

Luna must now introduce Celestia to her little bundle of self-aware psychic dream energy sooner than she imagined.

Twilight Sparkle receives a new book from Discord chock-full of interesting and unknown facts about draconequi. How fascinating!

Nothing sinister about that, right?

"Hey, you used to be Celestia's student, right? Did you know Sunset Shimmer?"

After the events that lead to her death. Lucy now finds herself in the void. Empty of everything but herself and this voice that keeps calling out to her. Why is it calling me? How does it know me? What does it want? and WHAT is it?

An Elfen Lied and MLP:FIM one-shot crossover.

Edit: Yes this will leave you wanting to continue it because it seriously looks like it should be ;33
