Each of the chapters of this fic is an independent story featuring one of the Mane Six having an encounter with the supernatural. They are presented as one story because of their common theme. The stories are:

Fluttershy: The Curse of the Night When Angel falls sick, Fluttershy ventures into the Everfree Forest at night to find a remedy. Though she faces danger, she escapes... but not unchanged.
Rarity: Blood and Water You know the story. Rarity gets seduced by a creature of the night, and her friends don't realize what's happening until it's too late. They find the vampire who turned her and destroy him. But then what happens?
Rainbow Dash: The Big Battle Discord's defeat didn't erase every trace of his influence on Equestria. Fortunately, hard-working ponies are already gathering the remnants of his power into Manehattan for easy disposal. What could possibly go wrong?
Pinkie Pie: Gallows Humor Pinkie Pie, Ponyville's premiere prankster, is dead. So why haven't the pranks stopped?
Applejack: One of the Herd Applejack may be in charge of Ponyville's biggest farming community, but that doesn't mean she can't take a break now and then. Besides, tonight's meteor shower should be even better than last night's...
Twilight Sparkle: The Case of Wild Clover the Warder It's a boring day in Canterlot, and Twilight Sparkle has time to kill. Maybe picking up an old lot of books will brighten her mood.

As Twilight comes across another new book, she notices that there was a spell that had a peculiar outcome: nothing! She cant believe that this is true and wants to try it out. However, she needs someone to test it on...more specifically an irritated dragon, wanting to go to sleep.

Edit: This story has been Featured! Woo!

Sort-of sequel to No Joking Matter.

At last, here is the spur-of-the-moment story of what happened when Twilight Sparkle received the letter Discord had tinkered with.

I'd advise you read No Joking Matter first, since the events in this story happened at the same time as the events in No Joking Matter.

Have fun!

The Elements find themselves turned into plush dolls. And this time it's not Twilight's fault!

While re-shelving books at the library, Twilight discovers a journal she gave to Spike years ago contains stories about the great dragon hero Captain Invincible, who fights for Truth, Justice, and the Equestrian Way, defending the city of Ponytopolis from the diabolical Dr. Spectra and other assorted dangers.

There's just two problems: Spike clearly wanted the stories to be kept private, and Twilight just can't stop reading them.

Scootaloo has lived alone for much of her life since her parents' passing, but no one, not even her closest friends, know of her most guarded secret. But this soon changes when a young dragon comes passing by the clubhouse one winter evening. Now, whether she likes it or not, Spike intends to do everything he can to help her. However as the temperature falls, the way these two friends see each other begins to change as well, but it is still unclear if it was indeed for the better.

With his molt over, Spike can finally join his airborne friends in the sky, and he’s a natural! All of his friends are absolutely ecstatic for him.

Well… maybe not all of them…

"Weirder things have happened." Not an unfamiliar phrase to hear spoken by the residents of Ponyville, the unofficial strangeness capital of Equestria. If something outlandish, peculiar, or just plain odd is going to go down, that quaint little village is a pretty safe bet as to where. The fact that it's also where the bearers of the Elements of Harmony call home means they're usually involved in one way or another.

When Pinkie finds an atypical coin in her path one morning, it sets off a chain of events that's, well, rather par for the course when you consider where we're talking about. In any case, what happens when the currency in question exchanges minds when changing hooves?

All his life Button Mash has been absorbed into his video games. He lives them, he breathes them and every night he dreams of them. Then one day he wakes up in his dream come true when he is given the gift of the Gamer ability. Of course, now that he has the gamer power, he must play the game.
