As a chiropterophile, I must confess to being very disappointed at the plethora of fics written after the episode "Bats!" Despite the bats in the episode being merely regular bats who live off fruit juice, the idea of bats as evil and supernatural bloodsuckers was apparently just too strong for many to resist. Even "Flutterbat" is often given supernatural powers and made a bloodsucker.

One day I actually posted to the comments section of one story pointing all this out. But then it occurred to me...rather than critiquing others' fics (which each of us should be free to write as we see fit), how about I fight back instead with a parody of the whole "bat=vampire" thing that bothers me so much? Thus, this fic, which is "meta" because the actual stories are referenced and parodied in the person of a young vampire fruit bat who reads them and gets ideas in his head.

To most people bats as vampires is fun. Considering that bats are a very vulnerable population and that stereotypes can have terrible real world consequences, I do not. I write this story not to criticize anyone else but merely to have some fun with the whole ludicrous concept.

It's a little unusual, but I hope some of you will enjoy it.

This story features a special guest appearance by Pinkiewise (from "Lauren Faust's IT!" and "She Saw the Light") and was pre-read by my old friend rye.bread.

Leaving Carousel Boutique the morning before he and Yona are set to debut their latest fashion line, Sandbar finds himself thinking about life, love, the future, and what his relationship with Yona might mean in a larger, universal sense.

Unfortunately, thinking's not the sort of thing that usually turns out well for him.

The original version of this story placed second in the 131st Writeoff, Cutting Corners.

Part of the Cornerverse-MLP Universe.
Rated Teen for swearing, talks of LGBT stuff, and mentions of sex. Not sure if the 'sex tag' is appropriate for this but it's more direct than previous innuendos and acknowledgements so better safe than banned.
You don't really have to read the prequel, but it is technically a part of it.

Twilight and Rainbow are tired of being the only single ones of the Mane 6, when suddenly Rainbow has the brilliant idea that, if they are 6, and 4 of them already coupled with each other, it only meant that she and Twilight should be an item. So, she asks Twilight to at least give it a try, after all... how hard could it be?

This ain't a TwiDash fic.

This story is a sequel to Her Void Pink

Twilight's and Pinkie's relationship is quiet. However, Spike's curious to know what's been driving Twilight so nuts lately. Pinkie doesn't know what to do in a relationship, Spike has no idea what they're doing, Pinkie has no idea what she's doing, Twilight has an idea of what she WANTS to do, but...

Don't take drugs for the first time at a concert. Don't take more than one of something if you're doing it for the first time.

Don't be Rainbow Dash and ignore both of those rules. No, Dash, we said—

Ah. Oh well.

This should be fun.

Content Warning: Psychedelic drug use, vaguely sexy meta-text, overall weird

We think this technically floats under the 'T' boat for lack of anything concretely sexual or bad happening, but let us know if you think we should move it!
