A series of scary stories featuring characters from the equestrian girls series. Inspire by scary stories to tell in the dark and tales from the crypt.

Author note: In this universe the characters are regular humans so no parallel pony world or rainbows laser and such.

Coming off the excitement from their wedding, Trixie and Starlight decide that for their honeymoon, they travel the world. However, their journey brings them to the heart of Changeling territory, and unease follows when they visit Thorax and see he’s on edge. But Chrysalis hasn’t been seen in moons… has she?

The black&red Alicorn with a tragic past stays confident despite the odds stacked against him. He is protective and liked by his peers. Even in the worst possible situation, he stays in control. Or does he?

*This story serves as a reminder to the fandom that the judgment of fics shouldn’t be based on superficial aspects such as cover art or the presence of a certain character. Stories should, instead, be judged on their quality. Read first, judge after.

Here's what the readers are saying about it:

10/10 ~ Flora Blossom

Wow, this was intense! I like it! ~ Mr Swanky Hat

This is interesting, very interesting ~ Drayco Meowfoy

Good plot, solid writing ~ monokeras

Hmm... I have to admit, with the premise and all the obligatory "black & red alicorn OC" elements thrown in, this was pretty impressive. ~ Dark Avenger

Bad has been far more ambitious here than by just making fun of a stupid trope: by taking it seriously, he's made a story that stands out a lot more than just senseless jokes. ~ HapHazred

Had no clue what I was reading first but then I get to the ending it all came together. ~ Dapper Guy

Really good. Shows how some people can be so brainwashed as to genuinely believe that slavery and tyranny is good, productive, order, and freedom is laziness and selfishness. ~ Europa

This story plunged me into the abyss of depression and made my insides turned outside. ~ Hungryman

Beneath the City, where the sunlight never touches, I wander. Will you wander with me?

Now with an incredible reading by Lotus Moon, Archer, and Script Singer. Go check them out!

Thank you to The Legendary Bill Cipher, Zontan, Lofty, Red Parade, Moonshot, and Stynger Skies for prereading, editing, and thwacking me over the head when things don't make sense. In theory, I could do this without you all, but it'd be worse and every other letter would be in comic sans.

Nightmare Night has been a special night in Equestria for as long as anypony could remember! However, it may not be a normal night as one member of the Mane Six could possibly be a witch!

The unthinkable has happened! Princess Twilight Sparkle is accused of witchcraft, as she is tossed off to the side. Fortunately, she still has her ‘sisters’, Starlight and Trixie! Together, they’ll help her have a great spooky night, filled with candy, kids and friendship...and a little bit of brew, as well! With all that is going on, this is bound to be ONE Nightmare Night, nopony will forget!

NOTE: Story inspired by the Simpsons episode, Easy Bake Coven, and not meant to destroy continuity in any way! I just wanted to get this out for Halloween as fast as possible!

My 2021 Halloween Special! Happy Halloween, and GAPT (Great and Powerful Trixie) day, Everypony!

This story is a sequel to We don't go to Sub-Level Five

With the nightmares of the Silos behind them, Astral and Sassi begin to adapt to a world that lacks any understanding of the horrors now buried underneath glass and stone. The only creature in their life who can serve as a confidant is Arcane. However, the chaos-unicorn is busy learning to adapt to a world and society now alien to him. But they have each other, and their lives start to settle into a form of pleasant normality.

As life in Equestria and the Gryphon Empire continues on, Twilight and Tanzil are forced to confront troubles both within and outside their borders. Sometimes peace is but a thin, false veneer over chaos, and the two rulers quickly discover that their budding relationship may be the least of their troubles.

When a familiar horror emerges from the shadows, Astral, Sassi, and Arcane are forced to confront a terrorthat looms not only to engulf their new home, but all of Equestria and beyond. With their nightmares no longer confined to their minds, the three ponies desperately try to save who they can from the oncoming storm. When faced with some threats, all you can do is run and pray that it doesn't find you.

But for the two Thestrals, a unicorn, and their friends, they're sick of running. And they've got lots, and lots of ammunition.

With magic restored to Equestria, Zipp Storm is ecstatic to fly for real. While out enjoying a flight, she happens upon an old pegasi city that was once untouchable due to it being in the clouds. While exploring it, she finds a long abandoned factory...

-Only slight gore.

Where was Starlight Glimmer during all this and what about the drought? What will she do about the situation at Ponyville? What about her village? Zecora? Trixie? Fluttershy? Join more of the cast of My Little Pony, as we go through Hell from several different POVs.

(A Re-write of The Town Of Salem) Long ago in a town that sat near a forest. At that time, Celestia was unable to tame the horrors and dangers of the night. When darkness fell upon the town, something devious happened as others lurked around. There was only 15 remaining residents yet they only have days left. Who was to survive in a town as deadly as that of Salem when revenge governs them and morals are so loose that do not exist?

Rainbow Dash lived alone; Tank had long since disappeared, having left her to herself. Her cloud-house, high above the town of Ponyville, was isolated from everypony she knew, and she hated it.

Because, while Rainbow Dash knows she's alone... why does it feel like she isn't?

* = i mean, eventually, right?
