Fluttershy has been known for being shy over the years. As well as meek, kind, docile, etc etc. But what if she got some help from an unknown source...

It's Nightmare Night in Ponyville (and presumably everywhere else as well) and Starlight and Trixie have teamed up to host a haunted house attraction. Spooks and frights and guaranteed in this one-of-a-kind experience orchestrated by two mares who, between them, barely make up a single functioning member of society.

What could go wrong in this pandormare's box of horror designed by a former villainous megalomaniac with boundary issues and a compatriot whose worldview is heavily tinted by a lens of narcissism?

Take on the role of Rainbow Dash, fearless seeker of frights, in this branching CYOA experience. Explore different paths to victory, collect items, solve puzzles, and try to find all the hidden endings!

Content warnings: More thriller than horror, with the occasional dip into psychological terror. Some medium-tier body horror, mostly transformation based. Odd snippets of comedy to lighten the mood. Mild spoilers for various horror movies, but nothing recent.

Note: Some artists are credited by name only because their only linkable contact is on nsfw-heavy websites.
Special thanks to SparklingTwilight and Panem et Circenses for helping work out the gameplay kinks and pointing out mistakes that slipped past me.

Jason Wright is dead. The Elements and all of Ponyville are to blame for his abuse for three long horrendous years. Princess Celestia, upon hearing about this, lays down righteous judgement on each of them. This breaks their friendship and causes them to scatter to the winds while also destroying the reputation of Ponyville itself.

Two years later, a second human enters Equestria for a job. He and his new companions are a part of a mercenary team, not well known, but unique in their own way. Little does this human know that a simple job his team accepted in Equestria will lead him to becoming involved in something bigger.

EDIT: Changed setting to Teen, but may change it back if things get a bit too dark.

"Vicariously I,/Live while the whole world dies./Much better you than I." -Tool, 'Vicarious'

Spike brings a Ouija board to the Cutie Mark Crusader's slumber party on Nightmare Night. However, things get really strange. It is just a game, right?

Written for the Poniverse Nightmare Night Contest.

Equestria is experiencing a long age of prosperity. The entire world blossoms in a new spring of rapid connection and growth. Things could not be better.

But something beyond the stars has finally noticed all of this warm, beautiful life. Twilight Sparkle and Pinkie Pie must race against time to stop the emissaries of a hideous strength from destroying everything they cherish.

It all started on a normal day on a normal schedule. I was your ordinary man, and I bought this weird book from a merchant, brang it back home and opened it, and it sucked me out of Earth and into this place inhabited by mutant horses called 'Equestria'.

Oh, and didn't I forget to mention I'm Dry Bowser now? You know, Bowser's skeletal counterpart that slowly became his own character? That guy. The book was about displacement, and I am most definitely one of those things.

Hope the walking, talking, dragon-turtle skeleton won't scare anyone? Oh wait, it will.

(Rated Teen for: Suggestive themes, violence, crude humor, minimal blood and partial language.)

This story is a sequel to Pinkie Pie's Problematically Private Passion's Parental Personages Presented Perpostorously Prior Publishing Previously Paraphrased Preoccupation

Pinkie Pie slumbers, unable to wake. This would be bad enough if she were ordinary, and even worse were she still merely Pinkie Pie, the partymeister of Canterlot High. But in this new world of magic, she serves a crucial role in helping Sunset Shimmer stabilize the cosmos.

So it is that her closest friends agree to delve into her mind, find what has happened to their friend, and bring her back to the waking world. This delve shall be dangerous, but they must take the journey. For them... for her... and for all of reality. And yet...

Secrets in the waking world have taken hold of the sleeping self. An interweave of conspiracy and coincidence contrives to undermine the connections between friends, even as they struggle to stay together long enough to find out how to help the one they'd come to rescue.

Trapped within an already chaotic mind thrown off kilter by unseen forces, Pinkie's friends must navigate a delicate landscape of laughter and pastry riddled with emotional time bombs, all in the hopes of bringing her back... before she is gone forever.

Part of the Oversaturated World.

This story is a sequel to I Will Not Fail

Darth Vader remembers how he joined with the Storm King while reporting to him after visiting Tempest Shadow in the recently enslaved city of Canterlot.

A very special thanks to EJLightning007arts for making the first story art image for this story.

This Star Wars/MLP crossover is set during the MLP movie, as a "What If Darth Vader was in My Little Pony: The Movie". After success of "I Will Not Fail", people requested sequels, so I plan to make 5 sequels. This is the 1st of the 5.

Rainbow Dash hasn't been having a good time since Discord was defeated. Her supervisor suddenly thinks she can't handle a simple weather schedule. Her relay team all suddenly have a grudge against her. Something isn't right, and it's not limited to her. Applejack's family is watching over her like a jailhouse warden. Twilight is avoiding them all, visiting with strange ponies, and losing sleep on something she won't talk about. Pinkie Pie, and Rarity are both having problems they can't explain. And for Fluttershy, it's the worst of all.

Without Twilight’s guidance, 5 ponies have to figure out what happened to the town, and why their lives are so messed up despite Discord being long gone. Somehow they have to get Twilight to open up to them again, and accept help from her friends. But nothing they do seems to work right. They’re at a loss of what to make of any of this, until Rainbow Dash stumbles upon a truly chilling revalation, that throws into question everything the 5 of them have ever known.

When trouble calls, Dash wants an obvious goal, a big bad monster to defeat, but now the only thing she can see in front of her are all her friends.
