Rainbow Dash has a problem that she can't put into words. Hopefully, Applejack will know what's wrong.

It's too bad hopes often get dashed upon the rocks.

The original version of this story was an entry to a writeoff round with the prompt Let's Make It Quick.

Thanks to _Moonshot and Seer for editing.

After being attacked by a strange being in the dead of night, a young unicorn mare named Page-Turner finds herself transformed into a loathsome, terrifying creature with an uncontrollable need to drink the blood of others through horrific means. Frightened by her sudden change in both body and nature, she flees from pony society but tries her hardest to remain a part of it in the process.

As her attempts to cope and adapt to her new lifestyle sour and wither with every passing day, she finds herself being hunted by those that wish to see her destroyed. With little choice to begin with, the only goal to dominate her mind soon becomes survival.

Speed Reader may only be a temporary product of a fusion spell brewed by Dash and Twilight, but she's still got the Wonderbolt Barracks to herself for a whole half hour before she splits again. Just long enough to tangle with someone whom her halves would most certainly kick to the curb if either of them were in control.

But they're not in control. Speed Reader is. She can read ponies like books, and Lightning Dust is after something in the archives. Something important.

Now with a written review!

This is an entry in the Snippet Series, an anthology of old oneshots that I (and my good buddy Str8aura) wrote based around interesting pics I found. New ones will be posted every Thursday for the foreseeable future.

Rainbow has missed a meeting of Twilight's book club, and the alicorn wants to know why. The answer may come as a bit of a shock to her.

Rainbow Dash has been acting strange lately--and not the "I've been hanging around Pinkie for most of the week, she's just rubbing off on me" strange. After all, Pinkie Pie doesn't build sheds at random and strut around like a peacock.

After finally noticing this odd behavior, Twilight enlists the help of Rainbow's oldest friend, Fluttershy, for answers. What follows is not what she expects. At all.

----------------

Takes place between Seasons 4 & 5.

Profanity tag for Fluttershy swearing

Now with an Audio Reading!!

It's time for our friends to have a serious talk with Rainbow Dash. It's time for her to move on from her friend's passing. Pinkie Pie is gone.

...Right?

Comedy Crackfic, don't say I didn't warn you.

EDIT: Hey, featured on publishing day, 5/26/20!

A jewel that had long been hidden within the depths of the Castle of the Two Sisters, has been recovered by Twilight and Starlight because of their eagerness to study and learn all about it and the strange energies it gives off every now and again. While gathering the last of a few things to study the markings on the strange jewel, they unknowingly get a visit from Rainbow Dash who is then dragged into a strange world by the jewel. When Twilight and Starlight return to continue the studies, they soon learn of what has transpired in their absence. As the two of them gather all the help they can to try and bring Rainbow back into their world, Rainbow Dash soon learns that survival is much harder than Daring Do makes it out to be.

This is a collection of short stories based around the Strange Waifus from the Strange Waifu Thread on /mlp/. That includes Thingpone, Boogiemare, Orchid, and many more!

Rated T, though it might bump up to an M rating down the line.

I have the general tags on the story itself, but each chapter will specifically have the genres and characters listed. It's in order for you guys to know who is in each chapter, and what it's all about, from just a glance.

Rarity, following a somewhat rocky introduction, has become a rather welcome member of the upper classes of Canterlot. Living the dream, she eagerly accepts an invitation to an Opera in Canterlot with her new friends Viscount Fancy Pants and his wife Fleur de Lis. Especially since it means meeting a mysterious and somewhat reclusive Baroness that will also be attending.

Naturally, things grow somewhat awkward when she runs into one of her friends... and definitely not in any way she thought she might.

(Note: This is based on a head-cannon I had circa season four. We hadn't met Rainbow's parents yet, and we didn't really know all that much about many of the Mane 6's home lives. I know this isn't canon now, but I just wanted to put this on paper. Quarantine, man.)

Edit: Holy S***. I did not expect this to blow up like this. Thank you all so much!

Rainbow Dash, the fastest, most fearless pegasus pony in all of Equestria loses something dear to her, her color. As her mane fades to grey she has to come to grips with who she is, and what makes life worth living.
