Dedicated to my late grandpa, Papa. Take this as me coping and saying goodbye to him.

Sometimes failure is not an option.

Sometimes there is too much at stake.

Sometimes the cost is too great.

Sometimes you just are not fast enough.

Where did Spike go and why are all of these bells going off in my head while I am trying to sleep. When I finally get to where he is I'm going to give him a piece of my mind. Where ever he is.

There is something wrong but I just can't remember

Everything started out so simple. So bright, and pure. A peaceful nation smashed by something hideous. It broke everything.
They broke everything.

Their country, and their fellow ponies...

Mr. Charta Graphin realized one day that his life's work is incomplete. He sets out to finish where he left off many years ago. Nothing can get in his way.

This story is a sequel to Fallout: Equestria – Brittleshine's Quest Audio Files

Pineapple Calzone never wanted to be in a crime family. He had the misfortune of marrying into it. At first he went along with them out of fear, until they did something beyond the pale: give the Zebras Megaspells. Finally willing to go to the MoM he contacts his second cousin, twice removed, Pumpkin Cake. With her help he begins to collect evidence on his shady in-laws...possibly at the cost of his own life.

This fic is canon with the events of Unscrewed and Brittleshine's Quest, but reading those fics are not necessary outside of events that are in the epilogue.

This story is also canon to Gamma Deekay’s and Digital Ink (AKA Sawyer)’s series of connected fics, but only in that it shares the same shared universe. It happens before Monsters.

Also as with Brittleshine's Quest it does reference EAST Corp Productions' various audio dramas, but without their permission so anything I do with EAST Corp in the fic is not canon with their works.

You remember the Reflections arc of the comics, right? Did you ever wonder how Sombra came to be the king of Equestria? Well, you can keep wondering (and so will I).

But perhaps I can interest you in what happened before that story.

This was supposed to be something nice and short. I banned myself from writing anything over a thousand words a long time ago, I'll have you know. But clearly I can neither control the lengths of my stories nor drop something once I notice I've written 700 words and I'm still in the beginning of the story. So enjoy (or don't, as is your preference) the evidence of my lack of self-control.

The story follows the vamparic demon pony Epenex as he struggles with schizophrenia.

A delinquent young alicorn named Luna just transferred to the Royal Crystal Academy, and Drying Paint has fallen head-over-hooves in love. But she doesn't care about him — or seemingly anything, except for the dark, mysterious gathering place she disappears to on weekends.

Paint might just find a chance to win her heart there. But the shadows hold dangers he never would have expected, and everyone must walk into the darkness alone.

Highly Recommended by Present Perfect! "It's won one contest and taken second in another … because it's outlandish, ballsy, and utterly unique. Read it."

Winner of Cynewulf's Worldbuilding Contest! "Horizon manages to hit both the kind of reader who likes Infinite Jest and the kind who hasn't cracked a physical book since high school, and he does so simultaneously. This is one of his better stories."

Won second place in the 9/2017 "True Colors" Writeoff (as a first draft)! Then third place in the Lunbra group's "An Unexpected Meeting" contest! Also featured by Seattle's Angels!

Rated ★★★★ by Louder Yay! "Both really good and really interestingly different, and that's a combination I can get right behind. An easy recommendation."

"Literally the story of how gothic clubbing destroyed the Crystal Empire." —horizon
