The elders tell of times long past, when throughout the plains, hyenas massed.
Yet they were not as we are now; naught but beasts they were, strong, fierce, and fast.
And they acted as befits a beast—procreation, slaughter, feast—
Till a Monster came, we know not how. Through Him, lowliness soon ceased.


A poem, with a short scene framing it. Entry for the World-Building Alliance's January writing contest, where it earned an honorable mention.

Twilight volunteers to organize Fluttershy's house while the pegasus makes her a Nightmare Night costume. But she didn't count on finding a Gila monster in her host's broom closet. In the ensuing conversation, she learns it has terminal cancer, and why Fluttershy is braver than she could ever be, in her own way.



Rated G for Gila

Inspired by this touching story by the wonderfully talented Estee. Go read it: Five Hundred Little Murders.

It’s never particularly easy being at the top of the food chain, even under normal circumstances, but Eleanor’s circumstances are hardly normal: as one-third of the chimera who prowls the fire geyser swamp south of Ponyville, the tigress must deal with all of the usual stresses that come with being an apex predator, and she has to manage two bickering sisters who simply refuse to shut up and do as they’re told. However, she and her sisters face an unexpected challenge when they come across evidence that a new predator is trying to push into their territory.

(For anyone who's concerned about the gore tag, the violence in this story is of the sort that is typical of a nature documentary. If you can handle the stuff on the Discovery Channel, you shouldn't have too much trouble with this.)
