After a run in with a spell gone wrong that involved Twilight Sparkle, vampire fruit bats, a lot of staring, and then resulted in an unfortunate apple massacre, Fluttershy thought her life had returned to normal after Twilight successfully removed the spell’s effects.

That was until she started waking up in the middle of the night with the odd cravings for apples.

What started as just mild attacks of the midnight munchies soon became frequent late night excursions to the Apple family orchards, with only hazy memories and the lingering taste of apples left when Fluttershy awoke to find herself near or sometimes even in the branches of an apple tree.

Unless she can find a way to control the unwelcome urge to gorge herself on the ripe, red fruits, one of her best kept secrets is bound to be discovered.

PaulAsaran was kind enough to do a review for my story.

Fluttershy is fine. Really, she is. Sure, she was a magically created fruit-sucking vampire hybrid a week ago, but now she’s fine. She’s seen a pair of fangs in the mirror now and then, but she’s fine. She drools at the thought of apples, but she’s fine. Nothing to worry her friends about.

It’s not like she has a problem or anything.

Everything. Is. Fine.

Being a vampire can be rough. Unluckily for Twilight, she just had to end up as the most unpopular vampire type of all time. On the bright side, her last name actually makes sense now.

Thanks to my editor Pearple Prose and prereader Skeeter The Lurker for all their help!

Twilight tries to cast a spell to help Derpy, but it backfires.

Instead, the spell turns our beloved muffin horse into a vampire fruit bat.

It isn't as bad as one may think.

Detective Inspector Buckem knocks on the door to Octavia and Vinyls house. He believes that Vinyl is a vampire, guilty of the deaths of at least 25 ponies. Will he convince Octavia to help him bring her wife to justice, or will love prevail?

Another one-shot. Halloween Special!

Oh, just so you know. The second chapter and the sequel is VERY optional. If you want the story to end with chapter one, you may. If you want a continuation, you have a second chapter and a sequel to enjoy. I try to please everypony.

Something is drinking the blood of ponies in the dark of night. A shape that Twilight had thought long cured has been seen, is she the culprit?

This is something I'd came up with as a Flutterbat followup episode after her first appearance. The Star Wars reference in the title is irrelevant, I just liked the sound of it.

Just some advanced warning, there's a hint of Flutterdash towards the end, couldn't help myself.

In the middle of the night, Princess Cadence and her husband are woken by the news that a Changeling drone has been captured. The creature is alone and unaggressive, showing no wish to attack or change shape. Its fate is decided without much difficulty--as an obvious reject of the Swarm and a threat to Cadence's people, it must be destroyed.
But this is no ordinary drone. It can speak, and appears to be separate from the hive mind of the Swarm. It claims to have been sent as an ambassador--Chrysalis, queen of the Changelings, wants to forge an alliance with Cadence's kingdom.
But why now? Why send this strangely intelligent drone? And how will Cadence's people react to learning that their rulers are harboring a Changeling?

WARNING: Contains an OC, much headcanon speculation, and possibly violence/gore further in.

Shining Armor isn’t convinced that Thorax can be trusted. In fact, he’s not so sure he can trust Spike or Twilight, either.

Twilight might not be sure of anything anymore.

Written for the F*** THIS PROMPT #14 event, with the prompt “Write a fixfic”.

A single changeling is blamed for making Chrysalis' plan to take over Equestria fail. He's banished and thrown out of the hive, ending up somewhere far away.

Luckily, he ends up not too far from a certain well-known village, where he can feed to his heart's content.

Needless to say, not everything goes according to plan.

Echo is a high ranking changeling officer. The Canterlot invasion was going perfectly, and her battalion had personally defeated the Elements of Harmony. Suddenly, she finds herself far flung from Canterlot, crashing into the Everfree forest. Now she is faced with a difficult reality - her hive, the only family she's ever known, no longer exists, and she must adapt to life as a pony. What she finds out about herself, though, will surprise her.

Rated Teen for occasional suggestiveness and language, tagged gore for brief violence, particularly in later chapters.

Dark because later chapters get pretty ... well, dark.

Addendum 5/29/2018

This story is now, as of this addendum, five years old. It is getting more attention as I put out new chapters on the sequel.

I recognize that this story has problems, and that some of them by their nature carry over to the sequel; please remember that when I started writing this, I was not yet even old enough to legally drink in the US. A lot has happened and a lot has changed, and there are many things about this story I regret including, but which it is now too late to change. Some of those things I have simply done my best to ignore and make irrelevant, but some of them are errors from a 19 year old me that will haunt me until the sequel is finished.

In short, please be gentle.
