Sol City has the biggest, most impressive Nightmare Night Parade in all of Equestria. Floats, holograms, free stuff... the works! It's everything anycreature could ever hope a parade to be... and this year it's even more special: Not one, but two legendary singers—Hard Rock Legend Yumi and Neo Pop Super-Star, Legend and main attraction, Sweetie Belle—are going to open and close the parade respectively, ending in a city-wide concert that will also be streamed across the world.

Enter Neon Clove, a unicorn runner/musician that loves Sweetie Belle's music and might (just might) have hacked her chances to win the Golden Ticket and take part in the parade, and counts herself the luckiest mare alive.

None of them could anticipate that this Nightmare Night would change the world forever.

This is my entry to the 2023 Cyberpunk Nightmare Night Story Contest!

The entire story has been finished and will be posted daily for the next five days. My thanks to Pascoite & GaPJaxie for edits and feedback!

This story is a sequel to Gunsmoke

Sunset Shimmer meant to visit another video game. Wild West games are always fun, right? But then things go wrong and Sunset's alter ego, Desert Mirage, becomes trapped in an entirely different world. This isn't a video game. The choices she makes matter. With a real chance of hurting somepony, Mirage decides to head home as quickly as possible. That'd be a lot easier if her way back hadn't been stolen. But Mirage has far more to worry about than mere card thieves.

The Bulletproof Heart is on the hunt.

A collaborative project with Wanderer D and a crossover of Bulletproof Heart, Gunsmoke, and Sunset's Isekai. This one's just for fun, folks!

Finn the human, one of the greatest heroes in the land of Ooo, is alone; in a new, unsuspecting world with none of the hardships and pain from his own. He must find a way to fight his past and prevent the arrival of a force; strong enough to wipe out species from the face of planets. And he will do that by any means necessary, even if it costs him himself.

Equestria is hosting the International Rodeo Games with Appleloosa as the hosting city. Many species from all over the world travel to the small town, some even as far as Foenum. All of it for the chance to win money, ribbons, and fame. While Applejack originally joins for the benefit of the Apple Family, her priorities quickly change.

A handsome, human cowboy named Clyde is introduced to her by Braeburn. The two get along well, and Applejack quickly is smitten by the upstanding, honest man. She plans on winning his affections with the hopes of taking him back as her husband. There's just one problem...

A cow named Arizona, Champion of the Prairie and one of the saviors of the Foenum, takes a strong liking to the same cowboy. She hopes to make her Ma and Pa proud taking back not just fame and money, but a husband to boot!

The two quickly catch onto each other's plans and try to undermine each other. Things quicky spiral out of control, and with neither backing down. They agree to a solution; a one-on-one fight, with the winner taking the man. Only question remains: Who will win? The Mare or the Heifer? And does the man get a say at all?!

T for fighting, possible swearing, non-consensual romantic pushiness, and mentions of interspecies love and pregnancy. No rape or clop will be shown, a simple girl vs girl fight over a guy.

Equestria is a barren land trapped in perpetual sunset.

Broken, alone, afraid, and recalling only faint memories of her former life, a Hollow Pony awakens from her dreamless slumber. Lost in the shattered ruins of a hauntingly familiar world, she shambles onward in a quest to find herself, before she loses herself.

(A Pony story, heavily inspired by and using elements from Dark Souls/Elden Ring. Will update weekly, one chapter every Sunday. Praise the Sun!)

Ulquiorra Cifer was defeated at the hands of a mere human and died in Las Noches. Or at least that's what he thought. In the boundary that separates life and death for all Hollows, he's found by one that finds him interesting enough to give a second chance at life free from Aizen's control, and free to do as he pleases; he was just never told that his second chance of life would take him to an alternate world he never could've imagined even if he tried.

The land of Equestria is a magical place full of hope, and second chances. In this land where friendship is considered the most powerful magic in existence, can the Cuatro Espada find something that's been missing and learn how to live? Or will his presence be the downfall of the peaceful world and all of its inhabitants?
