This story is a sequel to Twilight Sparkle: Night Shift

We are the dark of the night
We are the sermon of fight
We bring the nightside sacred and wild

Two years after the rise and fall of Decadence, Fluttershy is trying hard to forget what was done to her that night; made all the harder by the strange behaviour of Applejack as she and her family mourn the loss of their beloved Dog, Winona.

When Trixie comes knocking at her door, telling her that Applejack is in trouble, Fluttershy will have to confront a magic even more infectious than anything Decadence put forward.

This story is a spin off/unofficial sequel to the fanfic "Night Shift" by Jawjoe. It is recommended that you read that fic first to get some basic ideas about the world, as this fic may contain spoilers for the events of Night Shift.

This story is a sequel to Monsters

You might think that Equestrian nights are but serene exhibitions of Luna's work on the sky. You may believe that you can just lay out on the grass and admire the beautiful stars as a warm evening breeze caresses your mane. And you would be wrong.

Equestria is a magical place, and where there is magic, there is chaos. Dead rising from their graves, inanimate objects coming to life, strange apparitions making your foal cry in her room... sounds familiar? No? Then I'm doing my job right.

I'm Twilight Sparkle, and I work the Night Shift.

This follows canon up to the end of season 2.

Two decades after the banishment of Nightmare Moon, her shadow still lingers. Princess Celestia has been left to tend the Twin Thrones alone and protect us all from those who would see Equestria crumble. Our enemies take many forms: some would tear the world down with their claws, others with their smiles. They are monsters all the same.

I have had many names, and I have been many things. Today I am Swift Sweep, and I work for the Equestrian Bureau for State Security.
