Maud Pie has been tormented by a secret she has had to keep from Pinkie Pie for many years. A secret that her Nana has now taken to her grave, but which Maud feels she needs to tell. She owes the truth to her adoring baby sister... but after all of these years, how can she come out and tell her something that could change the way she sees herself and the world around her?

Rated T for mature themes.

Pinkie Pie is dead. After a three week battle with an incurable disease, she finally passed away in her sleep. Now at the funeral, her five best friends are going to tell the story of the party pony's last days.

Rated Teen to be safe.
Thanks to damandust11 for making sure this story is at least somewhat readable.

In the EQG Holiday Special, Sunset figured out that Anon-a-Miss was actually Scootaloo, Sweetie Belle and Applebloom.
But what if things happened differently?
What if Sunset never figured out who Anon-a-Miss really was?
What if her friends refused to listen after her little chat with Twilight?

In the climatic finale of the Battle of the Bands, the Rainbooms battle the Dazzlings.

...And fail.

Beaten and broken, the Rainbooms are unable to stop the Dazzlings from achieving their victory and regaining their true siren forms. Now the sirens are back to claim the Human World as their own and become its new rulers.
However, before that can be done, their first order of business is to dispose of their enemies in the one delicious way they know how.

Can Twilight, Sunset and the Rainbooms escape? Or will they all become the Dazzling's sacrifical meal?

NOTE: This is a VORE fic. So if you're squeamish, not into vore or simply don't like it, then don't read this at all.

There's no gore or fatality present.

Baking cakes, selling cakes, baking more cakes—it's all in a normal day's work for Pinkie Pie when the Cakes take the day off and leave her in charge of Sugarcube Corner. All she wants now is to prove that she's capable of handling anything life throws her way.

Just so long as life doesn't ask her to go upstairs.

Thanks to TGM, Rainedash, Kamikakushi, and Dubs Rewatcher for delving into the dark to preread this for me.

When Pinkie came knocking at her castle door, Twilight herself was a little surprised. She had brought her a gift. But the older mare had a strange, dark mood about her. Shouldn't Twilight be happy, anyway? Yet when she opens the present, it just might be the most heartbreaking thing she has ever recieved.

The Princesses' birthday celebration is here again, and Mayor Mare needs a scapegoat—er, trusted citizen—to handle Ponyville's gift. Certainly, deciding what to get for an ancient ruler who's seen everything will be a piece of cake. Hm, cake. Maybe that's not such a bad idea.
