Discord has many artifacts, and he decides to give his "Dear Friends" a taste of what his mischief was like back in his heyday. At least, indirectly.

It's not HIS fault ponies are so fun to toy with.

Taking a break from their normal attempts to find their special talent, the Cutie Mark Crusaders try to enjoy the awesomeness of Nightmare Night. But during their time out, they not only get a chance to receive candy and show off their costume, but also get to hear tales of Nightmare Night from the Mane Six- some as recent as that very day, other dating back to their foalhood.

Styled after the episode "The Cutie Mark Chronicles", this is me trying to write stories in the style of the show.

[A/N] Special thanks to Fattymagee1 and Garbo802 for helping me edit this. I can't tell you how much I appreciate it :)

Also, yes the CMC wear different costumes in the story then they do in the cover image. I do not own the cover image; it belongs to RinnyThePony on DA: http://rinnythepony.deviantart.com/

This story is a sequel to The Element of Courage

It's has been one week since the new Seven Elements of Harmony defeated the Mare in the Moon, Nightmare Moon. Now, Flash and Twilight are staying at their new home in Ponyville, ready to make new friends and new experiences. However, they'll soon find out that Ponyville is a bit different from the luxurious city of Canterlot as the duo learn new lessons of friendship.

Now on TVtropes

After the events of School Raze, The Cutie Mark Crusaders are feeling hurt and betrayed after what Cozy Glow did to take over the school and erased the magic of Equestria and never got a chance to save it. So they resigned their positions as tutors of the School of Friendship and go back to Cheerliee's class as it became a shock to Twilight and her friends when they heard what happen and try to think of a plan to cheer them up and convince them to come back to Twilight's school.

A young antisocial teen receives a deck of Duel Monster cards and is thrust into an amazing adventure. How will he fair when the fate of the world rest on his shoulders.

Takes place in the Equestria Girls universe but is separate from canon events, so there are some differences from the movies. So remember that when you see something that wouldn't make sense in the movies.

If only there were a "Bittersweet" tag...

Mrs. Sullivan is used to death. One doesn't get to be sixty-seven years old without experiencing it. But she never thought that she'd have to bury her own grandchild - especially not her six-year old granddaughter. The night after the incident, however, she is taken to a world where magic and love might wash away the pain in her heart.

Trickles down the path they go, whisper not for you they'll know. Trickles love something good to eat, little ponies make tasty treats. Be silent now as they go by, do not look them in the eye. Do not stop and do not stare, pretend they aren't even there.

Trickles down the path they go, horrors from beyond the known.

Trick or Treat from Glen Gorewood, one of my October offerings for your enjoyment.

After you read this, let me know if you want a sequel.

If you down vote please leave a comment as to why. It helps me improve.

Babs returns to Ponyville! On better terms with the CMC but still unsure of what to make of herself. When things go wrong and plans are wrecked, she gets by with a little help from her friends.

Plus a dragon who keeps those friends from driving her crazy.

BabsXSpike Friendshipping. Maybe just a little implied romantic crushing.

(After Season 3, before Season 4, hope I didn't miss any canon details)

(please read entire description)
(News: first prelude 'Unreconciled' is being written for release before chapter 3)
After nine relatively peaceful years in Ponyville, Spike falls into hibernation and a protracted nightmare.
Upon awakening, the uncertain future of the World is thrust onto him by a message from the Great Teacher, Starswirl,whom may yet live.

The Royal Sisters are trapped in conflict with a Draconic entity capable of destroying the universe.
All the while, Spike and the Elements of Harmony each must seek out powers and wisdom rooted in the origins of the world.
They do this in hopes of overcoming a foe that roils the black and starry depths of the very heavens.

In their absence, the former CMC and the uprising youth of Ponyville grasp power in the midst of possible griffin invasions from the Avian continent.

It's Rarity's birthday, and her friends want nothing more than to give everypony's favourite fashionista a day as fabulous as she is.

Can they make sure that Sugarcube Corner is decorated, the presents wrapped and the food prepared before the birthday girl arrives?

No. No they can't.

Originally a birthday present for Flint Sparks
Written sometime when Twilight is still a unicorn.
