Spike the dragon. Personal student of Princess Celestia. Sharp. Attentive. Currently on a four-week study bender of rare, foul-tasting slugs. Not the kind of creature you would typically find at a seedy Canterlot dive bar on a Saturday night. 

But when his assistant, a rambunctious unicorn with a penchant for punk rock, inadvertently ruins his experiment for a night of wild partying, Spike takes it upon himself to reign her back in. Being family means fighting fires you didn’t start. And this unicorn seems determined to start as many as possible.

Pre-Season One Alternate Universe. Heavily inspired by Jenna Starbright’s, “In Shade, We Rest.” Proofread by Miller Minus. He's a champ!

After suffering magical burnout from helping Celestia finish one of Clover the Clever's spells, Twilight is sent back to Ponyville where she is told the best treatment is to sleep and will be all better in the morning. But as night approaches, feelings start to manifest themselves inside of Twilight's mind. The doctor said some side effects were possible but highly unlikely so everything should be fine... right?

Just a little Nightmare Night special I decided to make. Hope you enjoy!

Nickolas Smith, an USAF pilot, was escaping in a F-22 Raptor from the Russian Airbase. After being injured by a SAM missile, Nickolas dive into a cloud to take cover, but when he came out, the pilot found himself not in Russia anymore; but in a land filled with mythological creatures. Due to the lack of fuel, he landed in a volcanic area filled with dragons. Taken by Dragon Lord Ember, Nickolas can either choose to escape or to stay and protect these creatures from an incoming danger.

As the darkness of Nightmare Night encroaches, Applejack can't shake the feeling something's amiss. As if someone--or something--is watching her.

Now with a reading by Sphere Heart!

For the first Nightmare Night since her crowning ceremony, Twilight chose to organise a celebration of sorts in Canterlot. Some nobles suggested a play. Some, a parade. An end to the discussions came when Pinkie suggested both.

It came to happen, unfortunately, that just hours before the playrade one of the actors twisted his ankle. The one tasked with playing the role of Death. Once again, Pinkie came to the rescue with her own solution.

Twilight really wished she hadn't.

It's Yickslurbertfest in Yakyakistan, and one yak is particularly excited as Yona enjoys everything about her life in Yakyakistan. When Prince Rutherford is given a request to send a young yak to a new school in Equestria set up by Princess Twilight to learn about friendship, he sets up a series of games to find the best young yak for the school, and Yona wants to take part.

Yona tells us how it all went down.

Fluttershy has been feeling differently for the last few weeks. She's been really hungry, and her diet has changed to accept plenty more apples than she usually has.
But most importantly, she's been noticing Applejack more than usual. There's something driving Fluttershy towards her and she can't quite put her finger on it.
On this Halloween night, she will find out.

Goodness, Sapphire Shores could scarcely stand the innuendo about her favorite pony Rarity! and now, it's it a new pitch with this scurrilous accusation that she was a... murderess?! Well, if it's the last thing Sapphire does, she'll set the story straight, and take you behind the curtain to show to the real Rarity- and how the elegant Element got through to her once-hardened heart.

Happy Halloween, folks!

Nightmare Night for someponies is the best time of the year. Everypony gets to dress up in cool, intersting costume and stuff themselves to the gills with all manner of delicious treats. However, when Braeburn and Big Mac decide to indulge a potion seller in their craft, it will lead to a holiday experience they most certainly won't forget.

A little something I whipped up for Halloween, hope you enjoy!

When Sunset Shimmer, the current protege of Princess Celestia, befriends and agrees to engage in magic lessons with Twilight Sparkle, an introverted filly with a great desire to learn everything possible about magic, she quickly learns that she is far from a normal unicorn, which leads to speculation upon Canterlot society. Speculations that lead Sunset to questioning her friendship with Twilight while also struggling to keep her bond with Princess Celestia as her mentor strong.
