My name is Buttercup. I'm six years old.
My parents have always been on the move, since my father's a travelling merchant. However, my Mom finally put her hoof down, and said a little filly like me needs friends, schooling, and a permanent home. Now we're in Ponyville.
I've never dressed up for Nightmare Night before, beyond posing in costume at Father's stall. This is going to be my first Nightmare Night I get to go out and have fun with others my age. I hope it goes well.

Birthday present written for Overlord-Flinx.

Immortal rulers...perfect Princesses...Goddesses...

The Celestial Sisters have been given high praise, raised on high pedestals...and all of it is wrong.

Pain can run deep, especially when time can't wash away the memories. But the worst pain is the one only you remember.

Luna's pain runs deep...and she's convinced nothing can fix it...ever.

Twilight begins to learn more about her alicorn nature, and winds up discovering something about Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy that catches her off guard.
Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy have always been especially close. Few ponies can come up with a reasonable explanation for this. On the outside, it would be hard to imagine them being any more different.
However, on the inside, they couldn't be more alike.
They've always been the perfect match. Always.

Kratos...the Ghost of Sparta...

Under the domination of Ares, the God of War, he committed horrid atrocities, including the slaughter of his own wife and daughter...

Visions of what he had done would haunt him all his days...until it brought his days - and his world - to an end...

At least, that's what the fates have decreed await him and Olympus.

But Fate changes sometimes. Some things can't be predicted, even by gods. And this time around, one of those things has found her way to Kratos at the very beginning of his Nightmares.

Princess Luna has been sealed in the moon for a thousand years. Although released, she has been having trouble adjusting to how much the world has changed, along with the loss of everyone she held dear in ancient times. Despite the pleasant end to the last Nightmare Night, she is still uncertain of what her place is now. However, Twilight Sparkle is determined to show Luna that she belongs...on a very special day.

What is memory? Why do the things that matter most sometimes seem to slip away, while that which haunts and breaks us down might never leave our minds?

Her name was Lyra Heartstrings, but no one will remember her.

A short, unofficial, comedic sequel to shortskirtsandexplosions' Background Pony, dreamed up by Ponky and another guy in Italy.

Twilight Sparkle asks each of her friends, "Do you believe in God?"

Pinkie Pie is... uh... not a scientific pony. And she can't explain anything.

But there are secrets in the Wabe that Twilight needs to know, and only Pinkie has the answers.

A side-story to "The Sisters Doo".

In quite a few of my favorite stories on this site, I've seen that the 'plot/conspiracy to overthrow Celestia' pltline utilized, either as the primary threat or just something in the background. I decided to do my own take on it, taking a page out of "Winning, and the pitfalls therein" by RandomPC, found here

This story is a sequel to Harmony of Chaos

Shadow leaves Mobius for Equestria after Discord's defeat, hoping to make a fresh start. However, his friendship with Twilight develops until it becomes stronger than he'd anticipated, and leads him to a future he'd never dreamed possible.
