Everyone gets scared of the dark sometimes. When you're a kid, you might need a nightlight to make all the bad stuff go away. When you grow up and grow old, though, sometimes that darkness has something special waiting for you, and no nightlight can shine it away. I'll just keep telling myself that if I don't look, it can't get me. Right?

Please Note: This reads more like stream of consciousness psychological creepiness, rather than monster or classical style horrors.

When Shining Armour suggested to Cadance that they have a second child, he was not prepared for just what "sharing the burden for this one" would mean.

Then again, he... or rather, she isn't complaining.

Contains: pregnant ponies, rule 63/genderswap, and pampering a pregnant mare.

The locally-famous DJ-PON3 just needs to snuggle after her stressful shows. Your OC is happy to oblige her, but such actions often lead to unforeseen consequences; consequences which bring your OC to places of power he'd never imagined.
This is a very fluffy story; mostly cuddling, just with some extra intrigue to add to plot details!

You've always wanted to ask Pinkie Pie out, and today, you're feeling brave enough to do that. Can you make the right choices and get her to go out with you? Can you go through an entire evening without failing spectacularly? Probably not, but you can always go back and try again. One way or another, Pinkie Pie will be yours in the end.

As the title implies, you'll be allowed to pick from several options at each step in the story. Most of those options are dead ends, so don't worry if you run into one. That's just the way these things work. If you happen to be a completionist, it's also possible (but not recommended) to read the story in order by advancing each chapter normally.

This story was written for this contest.

Twilight and the others go to a tropical resort that Twilight used to go to as a filly, only to find things have changed...for the worse. Now their fun vacation plans are unraveling as they deal with a greedy, untrustworthy resort manager as well as Li'Ho Ani, a local priestess with a knack for putting guests into trances and who has an eye on a certain Rainbow colored Pegasus.

What did you expect when a two hundred and fifty pound horse hits you at the speed of sound?

It was a vacation planned out by Twilight Sparkle, her boyfriend Caring Slash, and her friends to visit Hana No Mura (The Village of Blossoms), A lovely village near the borders of human Pony Ville and Canterlot. While planning out the trip, Twilight feels uneasy about the shadows that surround her, and while talking to the village elder, the village is attacked by strange, shadowy creatures with strange powers. After they defeat the creatures and bring the survivors to safety, a young boy ran home to see if his adoptive father was okay. When he arrived, it was too late. But when he saw the small remains of the shadows follow Twilight, he seeks out to "Avenge" his adoptive father by destroying her. When he encountered her and was told the truth, he could not believe that someone or something was controlling these shadows, and only he, Caring, and the elements could stop it. The only question the boy holds for himself... Is he ready?
