Daring Do, Professor of Archaeology at the Golden Oaks University in Ponyville, is known as a pony of adventure, the protege and partner of the treasure-hunting Dorado Caballeron, a mare who has traveled the world and discovered great treasures since she was a filly under the wing of her Uncle Adventure. What most don't know is her drive to discover the unknown, born the day that she witnessed her beloved uncle killed by shadowy monsters after taking an idol of a strange dog-like monster.

After one of her colleagues vanishes while searching for the legendary Sunken Church, Daring Do crosses paths with private detective Phillip Finder and sets out to search for her friend and for the hidden temple. From that day, the two form a partnership that spans Equestria, facing eldritch threats, monsters from beyond their world, insane cultists, and deadly assassins from the sinister Order of the Golden Sphinx. Their partnership grows to encompass Twilight Sparkle and Luster Dawn, two of the brightest students at Golden Oaks University; Zecora, the mysterious shaman from the Everfree Forest; Rainbow Dash, a cocky Wonderbolts reservist; and the Anomalous Investigations Unit, a small, ill-respected branch of the Royal Bureau of Investigation that handles cases beyond the pale of reason.

Obsession drives Daring Do forward in a quest to uncover lost secrets and magical treasures and to protect Equestria from impossible threats...but what might it cost her and those around her? And all the while, an ancient evil stirs beneath Equestria, hailed by the haunting chant:

Dead Ahuizotl waits dreaming...

A reboot of sorts of my former series Ponyville Noire, Daring Do: Shadows Over Equestria is an adventure-mystery story with heavy influence from the Cthulhu Mythos and related spinoffs, particularly the Arkham Horror franchise. It features many of the same characters but under different designs and inspirations.

Twilight teaches Luster Dawn how to enjoy Hearth's Warming

Written for Uz Naimat for Jinglemas 2022

This story is a sequel to Luster Dawn: New Days of the Magic of Friendship

Hearth's Warming comes and it is a time of celebration for many. Though Twilight and her friends have faced a great deal of losses over the years thanks to both the passing of time and the war with Grogar, they still have each other and members of their family as well as the next generation of heroes. They all get together at her old castle for Hearth's Warming and celebrate, with a little chaos to spice things up whether they like it or not.

Also couldn't fit comedy in the genre as there is a little bit of a funny scene at the end or at least that was I tried to write.

Princess Skyla is eager to rule Equestria, but Twilight chose Luster Dawn instead.
Now, Skyla wants her revenge, will she take down her once cherished aunt, or shall she lose to "friendship"?
Find out in this story, based on my theory of who Queen Opaline is, which you should totally check out, btw.

Princess Twilight Sparkle has a vast knowledge of different magics, including magical afflictions, and so she's come to expect, when the truly unusual things crop up, to find letters from Equestria's hospitals showing up at the castle. And every time, she's dropped everything to help one of her subjects.

Luster Dawn is taking her first hospital trip with her mentor, to visit a sick pegasus filly. It's Nightmare Night, and the princess is bringing the celebration to the filly, alongside her weekly dose of a potion used to treat her illness. Luster doesn't know what precisely she's sick with, or why Princess Twilight even wants Luster to come at all, but she's assured her it's not contagious, or at least there's no risk of unicorns or alicorns catching it.

The longer she's around the filly, however, the more this disease looks familiar. But the book she saw it in was folklore. Just an old pony tale. There's no such thing as bat ponies.

When Princess Twilight Sparkle founded the School Of Friendship, she sent out invitations for all kinds of species to send a member to attend and learn the ins and outs of camaraderie, one of which was the breezies.

Finally, after untold years of preparation, they are ready to send one such ambassador.

May Faust have mercy on his tiny soul.

It was a major shake-up for most ponies: the loss of magic from Equestria. But for Cozy Glow, it just meant swapping her enchanted stone prison for a normal ball-and-chain one. Besides, that was ten years ago. What does she care of the humbled world outside? Or that it just delivered her an uppity new cellmate?

Luster Dawn cares. A lot. It's why she's here.

(Takes place between The Last Problem and Gen 5. AU Tag because these events are probably gonna get invalidated by canon someday.)
