Starlight and Trixie, as part of their duties as staff of the School of Friendship, traveled outside Equestria for a recruitment drive. However, their trip to Mount Aris was waylaid by a problem with the railway. Still wanting to make good time, Starlight decided they should hoof it through the wilderness south of Equestria.

Just south of the MacIntosh Hills, the two find a vast forest before them. With every step inside, the canopy above grows thicker and thicker. They may never see the sun again.

This story was written for the Barcast's Halloween in April Horror contest.

Twilight went to sleep with everything being fine. When she woke up, she would come face to face with Sombra once more, but this time, he has an offer. One she would love to refuse. If only she could.

One last goodbye, to make a friend happy.

Though there were a few bumps along the way, Starlight Glimmer now stands as the new Head Mare of Princess Twilight's School of Friendship. Today is her first day in the role, and to mark the event, she's decided to take the first class with the students. But there is one question. What to teach them?

Twilight finds a strange book on her doorstep, with no idea where it came from or what it is about; she reads it. The more she read, the more she loses sight of who she is as she slowly gain an amount of knowledge she never thought possible.

While days go by, her friends try to reason with her. Can friendship defeat lust for infinite power?

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder- OCD.

That's what they call what I have. They should call it CDO so that the letters are in the right order.

It's just me, my thoughts, and a never-ending spiral of anxiety.

Sunburst is a stallion found on the sandy shore near his home after everyone had taken him for dead. When he swears that a mare of great beauty saved him from a watery grave, he is taken for a madpony.

Starlight Glimmer is a mare whose voice was taken to keep her from revealing the secrets that only she knows. Now, she has to choose between the life that she knew and the new world that's opening up to her.

A pony wakes up to enjoy his 742nd day in Paradise.

He should be alright, though. As long as he doesn't resist the soothing voice inside his head.

Or any of the strings tied to him.
