This story is a sequel to The Ghastly Library: Pinkie Pie's Terrifying Tales

With the pony races united again, Sunny revives the ancient tradition of telling stories on Nightmare Night. To that end, she brings a tale about the Element of Laughter, Pinkie Pie.

In that, the Cutie Mark Crusaders come to Pinkie for another Nightmare Night tale, this time specifically requesting a gory one. Thus, Pinkie tells a story about a trip to Pony Canada that turns deadly, thanks to... The Crazed Axe Murderer of Pony Canada!

There is no need to have read the previous Pinkie Pie's Terrifying Tales.

This was intended for October, but I couldn't get it ready in time.

Profanity Warning: Sunset Shimmer isn't afraid to use pony profanity and expect that to spread to others later. While it is essentially kid-friendly profanity, profanity is still profanity.

Two weeks after her fraternal brother had gone missing, Sunset Shimmer encountered Twilight Sparkle, and ended up becoming the purple unicorn's surrogate big sister. This not only caused things to change for the both of them, but also it healed the hole in Sunset's heart in ways even the orange unicorn was unaware that she needed.

Welcome to the rebooted version of the "When Friendship Shimmers" universe. Things will be starting of differently here, with some fun HCs, a few surprises, and an altered opening. The surprises will be starting right out the gate though, if the fact that the story starting with "Season 0" wasn't already an indication that things are not the same from the original version of this universe. And here's hoping this time, people will enjoy the story I wish to tell. Oh, and let's just say...I've taken some creative liberities out of the gate.

Currently revealed HCs:
Sunburst is considered Sunset's baby half-brother, both sharing the same mother but two different fathers
Sunset has her own dragon companion known as Ray (named after the lizard pet she has in the Equestria Girls world from the original cannon, though only the name and color match)
A land north of what will become the Crystal Empire is part of the grand Eeveelution Kingdom known as Icicle Vally; making the kingdom neighbors to Equestria itself. Lightning Town & Team Strikers being from outside Equestria, but Raiden's fame of being a hometown hero is enough to basically allow them to be in equestria without any problems.

Currently revealed relationships:
Sunburst & Sunset being half-siblings
Sunset being Twilight's surrogate older sister
King Throsten; formally Prince Throsten; being an Equestrian Ally alongside the entire Eeveelution Kingdom.
Dragon Ray and Spike treating each other like brothers because of their unicorn companions being surrogate sisters
Scootaloo being Rainbow Dash's Biological LIttle Sister

Notice: While Throsten and his eight Eeveelution wives are part of this reboot, they will only appear in non-plot relevant episodes as side characters. This story is not about them, this story is about an alternate MLP:FiM world where Sunset Shimmer becomes Twilight Sparkle's surrogate sister

Update 8/12/2023 - This story now has a cover art, but this one isn't the long-term one. I did find the cover art that is up right now and thought it'd be nice to have up as this story before certain events happen. Plus, I think by having cover art for before Sunset becomes an alicorn in this universe, it adds to the progression of the story.

Update 8/14/2023 - Fanfiction author "Sunset JJ" is trying to repost this story on Fanfiction without my permission. The next chapter will have to now include the "Rob Snowden Production" notice to deter them away from copying more of this story. Please only read the version on this website as this is the only true official verison. The one on Fanfiction is being created by a story stealer.

Update 8/25/2023 - This Story has entered the featured story section as of today. Honestly, looks like this has become the popular story of this account.

Update 8/28/2023 - Someone made a comment about the way I'm portraying DID in this story. If you want the behind the scenes info, and have issues with what I'm doing with DID, read this blog post: https://www.fimfiction.net/blog/1021373/marana-milissa-and-did-behind-the-scenes

Update 10/19/2023 - A death tag has been added for saftey reasons. Not all chapters will contain instances of death though. Only chapters with the specific warning attached will actually have deaths in them. Better to be safe then sorry though.

Update 12/19/2023 - There currently seems to be an ongoing issue where trying to change the cover of the story breaks the site. Until this gets fixed, you guys are just going to have to deal with the temporary cover. I apologize for this inconvenience, but right now, this is beyond my control.

Update 12/22/2023 - While trying to figure out how to upload the cover I wanted to put on this story, I came across this one, and this is much closer to what I originally envision AS the cover in the first place. So I consider this a win.

No friends, no cutie mark, no future. The life of Muddy Waters could be measured in teaspoons, but who's to say a lone scavenger pony couldn't live more than one life? After a chance find underneath the Centennial River Wetlands, Muddy Waters will discover an ancient treasure so valuable that the only one she can trust with such a treasure is herself. But who's to say the treasure is the most valuable thing to gain? As the saying goes, the real treasure is the sisters we made along the way.
Now that the winds of change roll over a dead Equestria, safe harbors are few and far between. How long can a single scavenger hold on to what's rightfully hers? More importantly, how long can she hang on to herself?

Two brothers, born within darkness. But as one lingers within the shores of the dark sea and mingles with the light, the other descends into its darkest depths.

But both are mere pieces to an even larger puzzle...

There, inside of a dark forest, a single Kirin survives alone. What once was a place of wonder turned into a death trap where the dead shambled and ate anything still alive.

Autumn Blaze can't cure her friends, but maybe... maybe she can find a way to calm them down. Also, using innocent woodland creatures to feed them feels a little amoral to her. Even though it had gotten to a point calling each and every one of her fallen buddies by name is foolish; it wouldn't hurt to help them. It wouldn't hurt to soothe them.

*Crackfic* Anon goes all in, will his bet pay off! Obviously not, but hey he's here for a long time not a good time.

It was actually supposed to be a normal day as Celestia raised her sun and Luna lowered her moon, until a blinding flash of light engulf all of Equestria and Crystal Empire.

These two nations suddenly find themselves in a strange new world filled with war, chaos, and disharmony, how will they survive?

Let's find out!

This story is inspired by 'Summoning Japan'.

Author's note : I want to let you guys know that this story suffers stagnation and decline, each new page takes longer to upload, this is because both the Writer (Me) and the Editor (Flowbux) have a lot of real life matters such as School and college that keeps both of us busy and having difficulty in finding a free time to write the story. Except for my second editor! (Escalator).

BUT, this doesn't mean this story will be cancelled, I made a promise to finish this story and give it the ending it deserves! I just hope that one of you will volunteer to help us complete this project, you will be given the freedom to influence the storyline and even adding characters you might want to add to the story.

So if any of you are interested in helping you can always contact me.

Twilight finds a restricted forest fenced with wires outside Ponyville. When a guard chases her away, she's eager to find the answers for the mystery behind it.

Now with a Russian Translation by NovemberDragon | [ponyfiction.org] [tabun.everypony.ru]

Years after a shared tragedy that changed their lives forever, Applejack is thrust into a fight for survival when Twilight convinces her to go on one last, mysterious mission. All she would say was that somepony on Great Boar island needed their help. But they never made it. A strange and magical event destroyed their train and separated the old friends. Alone in a freezing and hostile world, Applejack searches for Twilight and tries to make sense of this new, quiet apocalypse.

Five years ago I made an animation that inspired this story and serves as a sort of introduction. Find it HERE.
