A filly waits in a small white room. Waiting for her friends to visit. "Hi! I'm Silver Spoon and I'm the Perfect Patient! What medical symptoms would you like to treat today?"

Winner of the Magic Fades and Science Grows contest on Quills and Sofas.

TW for lots of gore and emotionally cruel treatment of a child. Read with care, and if emotional child abuse is something you've experienced perhaps steer clear of this one. I think my initial trigger warning wasn't extensive enough, so apologies if anyone was disturbed by the content. This is a grimdark look at sentience, souls, and the way people/ponies treat things they perceive to be inhuman.

Rainbow Dash awakens after a major accident, but something is horribly wrong.

This story was written for the Thousand Words Contest

A long time ago when the ponies were still separated in their tribes, unicorns probably thought of themselves as so highly. For they are the ones gifted with casting magic. Being able to control things at their whim made them feel so superior...

Though now, even though unicorns live amongst their non-magic casting peers there is a sudden illness befalling the magic casters in Equestria...

First it was just a few sparks of magic that come out. Then one day, it seemed like a freak accident. A random stallion, his magic causing an explosion of great force causing a collapse in a building. Multiple casualties and some survivors shaken. Now some other unicorns are showing symptoms, but not as note-worthy. These ponies want answers.

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!

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.
