Brief stories about Equestria as it might have been—or, you may suspect in darker hours, already is.

25. Necessary Evil: Lord Tirek will return to wreak havoc on Equestria... but not before he's needed.

24. Queen of Foals (Fausticorn):
I met a traveller from an antique land,
Who said—"Four vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. . . . Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk a shattered visage lies alone..."

23. The Mechanical Donkey (Cranky Doodle alt-universe): A colt working for the school paper uncovers an old donkey's secret.

22. The Element of Audacity (Twilight, Dash, Cthulhu): It would take a very brave, very stupid pony to defy the Eater.

21. The Gentle People (dark): The gryphon tribe that tried to follow a pony goddess.

20. It's a Trap! And Twilight knows it. But her opponent knows that she knows it. But she knows that Twilight knows that she knows that Twilight knows it...

19. Fraud!: Trixie is accused of cheating at cards.

18. Celerity: Rarity wonders what Celestia sees in her.

17. Worth It: Fluttershy teaches Twilight about the cost of love.

16. Self Image (Twilight, Rarity): Is beauty really only skin deep?

15. The Quiet One (Luna): Some ponies express emotions differently.

14. Special: Discord teaches Pound Cake an important lesson.

13. Twenty-one! (Pinkie Pie, Twilight; comedy, horror?): Twilight discovers the danger of asking Pinkie "why?"

12. Changeling Dream: You may think the cost of living on emotions is too high. But we know the cost.

11. Loyalty (Rainbow, Applejack): The job of an Element of Harmony is simple, and sometimes impossible.

10. [revoked]

9. Sombra's Curse (comedy): The terrible curse Sombra unleashed that made him king, and stole his soul!

8. Game of Immortals (Celestia, Discord; dark comedy): Celestia likes to win—no matter which side she plays.

7. The Pony Side (comedy): Darth Vader has more important things to share with Luke than who his father is.

6. No Regrets (sad): Looking back on her life, Twilight remembers how she treated Derpy, and faces some unpleasant truths about herself.

5. Shipping Costs (comedy): If you knew you were about to meet Celestia in the next life, you might ask yourself: Did you leave the world a better place? Did your friends know you loved them? Should you have written thirty-nine chapters of Celestia clop-fiction?

4. The Green Hills of Equestria (tragedy): Vincent's big-game hunting trip was a success ... almost.

3. Mare of the Rings (Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash; comedy, LotR): The greatest could not be trusted with the Ring. So Gandalf sought out the humblest. Maybe too humble....

2. Happy Thoughts (horror): Her sun, happy to be in its place in the sky, wrapped the land in its warm embrace, and flowers bloomed in her hoofprints. Celestia smiled. It was going to be another perfect day in Equestria. And all she had to do was think happy thoughts. Again.

1. The Pony: Once upon a midnight dreary, while I clicked weak and weary,
Thru many a vile and bilious image on slash-b of yore...

Ever since she was a filly, Twilight had a secret place she could call her own.

One day, she will be forced to confront a dreadful, terrifying secret that she’d vastly prefer never to have known...

This story is an entry in Racc's Crack Storm!

Everyone has something in their lives they wish they could change. But given the opportunity to actually change it...

Would you?

Come with me now and follow one pony who did exactly that... and the consequences that followed.

Something goes wrong when Princess Celestia tries to send the Mane 6 to a special event, and they end up in the human dimension right in the living room of 3 bronies who seem to know everything about them. The three guys have these trinket things that let them go in between dimensions when they encounter REM sleep. The problem is, when they do that, the dimensions are intertwined and other ponies start leaking into the human dimension. (This is my first fan fic, but it will certainly not be my last. Constructive criticism is very much appreciated)

Twilight leads a team to investigate a town going dark. They find they were not the first to arrive, and the one who was left a journal, what can they glean, and did the first defeat the monster, or . . .

With a few words, Pinkie Pie is put in a hospital and no pony knows what to do. Not even the doctors can answer for this sudden sickness. Though an unwelcome visitor may change things for the better.

Twilight's castle may have magically sprouted from the Tree of Harmony, but that doesn't mean it doesn't have to comply with Ponyville's zoning laws.

An MLP:FiM and Twilight Zone crossover. You are walking home from a hard day's work and find yourself in Ponyville. But how did you get here, and why do you keep experiencing flashbacks.

An errand for the Princess that goes deep into the Everfree Forest turns sideways for Twilight Sparkle when she finds herself suddenly trapped in an asylum in a dark alternate universe where the only way to survive is to escape.
With the help of five other ponies that parallel her friends, Twilight struggles to return to her own universe, but even the world she knows is not at all what it seems...

This is my one of my first pony fanfics, so if I make a mistake, please feel free to correct me.

Applejack and Granny Smith are the last residents on Ponyville not to make for colder climates, as an unforeseen disaster has caused the planet they reside on to head towards the sun.

(Based on the Twilight Zone episode of the same name.)
