A sin of omission isn’t lying.


An assassination attempt on Princess Mi Amora Cadenza is made, thankfully, the attempt was made during her wedding with Shining Armor, and as it turned out, a changeling had taken her place and they, unfortunately (or maybe fortunately), took the hit for her, even if the whole wedding was a flop when it was interrupted by the changeling invasion.

After all of that commotion, Equestria had a suspect for the attempted assassination, but it only raised more questions, with the very real possibility of it happening again, the grim thought of what could have happened if the real Cadence was there if everything went to plan, what could have happened if the real princess or any pony else had their life on the line for that matter.

Today and the days that would follow, Equestria is faced by a creature who was peculiar in motive, with a muzzle that reflected the everyday average pony.

Is this some sort of statement?

An attempt to gain power?

Was it just a skit gone wrong?

Or is it old blood rising back from the past?

Well, they might just find out soon enough.

They could only hope their resolve is greater than this stallion, because the lives of several others may lay on the truth that he might speak.


This COULD be considered a prequel of sorts to “The Informants Job” that I have going.

But this is a completely separate story for a reason.
So, yeah… ;-;

Constructive criticism would be nice along with corrections.

The crime? Blackmail.

This story is a sequel to Fancy Pants and The Phantom of Canterlot


It has been one month since the "Phantom of Canterlot" incident. Fancy Pants has developed the reputation as an amateur but brilliant detective, much to his chagrin. On a normal morning of cleaning out his "mystery" filled mailbox, he and his apprentice discover an ominous letter from an old friend in Ponyville.

The pair set out for the small town and learn that three little ponies have seemingly vanished from the face of Equestria. This leads the duo down a path of conundrums and puzzles that will push them to their limits and reveal horrors that should have remained hidden.

(Takes place between seasons 2 and 3. Inspired by the Professor Layton series)

NOTE: Completed!

This story is a sequel to Gloria Celestia


A rumor here, a scandal there, and a peppering of negative publicity can easily provide all the ammunition necessary to take down some of the most powerful players of the Canterlot nobility. But when one party foul too far turns the entirety of the upper class against DJ Pon-3, Upper Crust leads an unrelenting blitz against her, and Vinyl Scratch's world begins to crumble all around her.

Unwilling to let an accident ruin the DJ's reputation on the callous whims of Canterlot's elite, Fancy Pants decides to make a risky investment into counter-culture and help Vinyl get back on her hooves. However, it's going to take more than the prestige of the Kingmaker of Canterlot to get this record spinning again, especially when real royal matters start spiraling out of control.

Fancy Pants is tired of perfection. He knows very well that many don’t achieve the success he has, that fewer have the popularity that he does, and that none can claim to have a wife like his.

A humble pony he is not.

Yet, his boredom has faced against all of those niceties, ripped them to meaningless shreds and came out the victor. So he decided to take the reins of his life for once, no matter the consequences.

At least, that's what he told the warden of Canterlot Correctional Facility.
