An unspecified time after being turned to stone, Cozy Glow awakens in a cave-like dwelling in the presence of her rescuer. He is a mysterious, hulking figure unlike anything Cozy Glow had ever come across before. As she spends more time with her new ursine guardian, and eventually becomes his newest apprentice, Cozy Glow learns a lesson about having pride in and ownership of one's true nature. . . among other things. . .

Written for the 3rd Annual Cozy Glow Short Story Contest.

The prompt used was: Grimdark/horror - Cozy teams up with a villain from a classic MLP grimdark.

When an Old God dies, its physical form is destroyed, but it’s essence remains in Azeroth. After a few millennia, they will be strong enough to manifest their form once again. In a sense, they can never die unless they are literally ripped from the world like Y’shaarj was.

When the God of Death is killed in Ulduar, he is brought to a strange new place called Equestria. His essence is greatly weakened from his arrival, but every day his strength returns and his visions become real. The magic of this world is fleeting, and his power cannot be contained forever. When the God of Deception, Master of Fate, Hope’s End, Fiend of a Thousand Faces, Beast with a Thousand Maws, and ultimately, the God of Death, escapes, will he bring the world to its knees?

Whatever he chooses, all who inhabit this miserable little seedling will know his name. All will know of Yogg-Saron…

I do not own My Little Pony or World of Warcraft

Crossover of MLP: FIM and WoW. You do not have to play WoW to understand the story, but if you want, look up Yogg-Saron on Google and you will see him. Some fandom pages should give his origins and stuff.

Source of cover art is the “DOOM!” card from Hearthstone. A gif of it is on Twitter here: https://mobile.twitter.com/PlayHearthstone/status/729415648011386880

When Twilight wants to perform a late-night experiment to test out a spell she’s been working on to let ponies teleport a lot easier, her “#1 Assistant” is ready to help!

However, performing the spell has some… unforeseen consequences… ones that will make them regret ever deciding to perform the experiment…

Fluttershy buys a painting from a new stall in Ponyville markets. It's a quaint picture of a rural cottage surrounded by grasslands and farm animals. It fills her with a curious feeling of longing that she hasn't felt before. Why should she? Her life is already like it.
But new animals start appearing around her home, and her own animals begin disappearing. Why and how she doesn't know, but she has to save them. She has to save all of them.

Long ago, there was a unicorn filly who made paintings with her magic that were said to be life like. However, she lived with two parents who were always fighting and abusing each other much to her sorrow. One day, she made a painting of a scary figure she had seen in her dreams. She put the painting up in her special room, but the next day the family was never seen again.

Hundreds of years later, Scootaloo visits their old abandoned house and sees the painting for herself.

If you would like a commission from me, be it a one shot or a multi-chapter story, please click here to learn the rules and procedures for doing so.

Rarity was in for a long haul. She only had a couple weeks to complete what was turning out to be her biggest commission of the year so far. And on top of that, she had to babysit Sweetie Belle and her friends for a whole stormy week!
Thankfully, Spike has come to her rescue by handing down to her a magical device Twilight and Sunset created connecting to the so called “World Wide Web” of the human world. This is supposed to be able to keep Sweetie and her friends occupied while she works on her latest project. Apparently, it’s even able to read bedtime stories to them!

This story was inspired by Rated Ponystar’s Student Six Watch Fallout Lore: The Storyteller Series. The story that introduced me to the concept of reaction fics and one that I recommend you read sometime.

If you aren’t familiar with the Bedtime Stories channel on YouTube, I highly recommend you also check them out. Its the perfect channel for this eerie time of year that I’m currently writing this story in.

Aliens. Conspiracies. Cryptids. Ghosts. Strange Deaths. Mysteries. Other Dimensions.
These are all things both you and the CMC will experience as they sit down for some good ol’ Bedtime Stories.

For those concerned about the tags, I want to make it clear that the tags describe events that happened in the real world and that neither the CMC nor any other characters in this story suffer any tragedy. (Except for Twilight when she finds out that Spike gave away her only access to all of humanity’s knowledge.)

The world ended.

That, at least, is what it sounded like. Screaming, howling, and then deathly silence.

A month later, Cheerilee and Scootaloo emerge from their shelter in search of food. As they search among the dead bodies of their friends, only one question comes to mind:

Where are the unicorns?

Have you ever felt cheated out of your destiny? Felt like greatness should have been yours? 

I have - no, I do - or I was. 

It's my destiny to be great. I know that now. Or maybe I've always known and just kept holding myself back. The worst - no, the best - part is that nobody knows who I am. That almost makes it too easy. 

But I'm going to change that. You'll see. Soon everyone will know who I am. They will see that I'm extraordinary. 

I will finally be recognized for the greatness I deserve.

A big thanks to Uz Naimat, Brony1337, TOA, and Fan Without a Face for their help with editing and providing the cover art.

And be sure to check out the sequel Paralysis a commissioned request I made for Novelle Tale to write.

I have been branded a criminal for a crime I have no recollection of committing. The transgression of which I'm accused is evidently heinous enough that my friends, my family, and the rest of Equestria have turned against me. I want to say that I didn't do it, that it wasn't my fault, but I can't. The only thing I can say in my defense is that if the deed was truly done by my hoof, then it was done due to circumstances beyond my control.

I say this because I can't remember. I say this because I'm not allowed to remember. I say this because my mind is no longer my own. It belongs to the voice, you see. It crawled into my head one day—poured cruel and malicious words into my brain. I tried to fight it but it grew and grew and grew until was powerful enough to seep into my memories, my limbs, my magic. Now it won't let me go. It's taken my mind and body away from me. It does terrible things and hides the truth from me.

I am not mad, but under these circumstances what else can I do but plead insanity?

The events described take place before Season 1.

After being grounded, Apple Bloom must spend the night home alone while her family are away. Outside, dusk is falling and as she prepares for a lonely, boring night there is a sudden knock at the front door.
