The Blot: an unearthly darkness, hostile towards all forms of life. This deadly enigma has swallowed up Ponyville, turning the once-thriving town into a pitch-black wasteland. In this new world, food and water are scarce, and the most precious resource of all is light.

Now, two survivors, Tinker Toy and his son, Gearhead, huddle in their home-turned shelter, hiding from the darkness. Without any contact with the rest of the world, father and son must work together to survive the waking nightmare they once called home.

Twilight Sparkle is only a few millimeters tall.

A hundred of her could fit onto a single hoof with plenty of room to spare. A single crumb can feed her for a day. Insects are chitinous nightmares. Her family is a race of unreachable giants.

Somehow, she has to survive in a world a thousand times too big for her, in an environment more hostile
than anything she could possibly imagine: her parents' kitchen.

Something's wrong with Twilight's new student, the redeemed villain Starlight Glimmer

Even though Starlight been forgiven for everything she's done and been made a member of Twilight's distinguished circle of friends, something's obviously troubling her. Even a Pinkie Party thrown in her honor isn't enough to cheer her up.

Troubled, Twilight has a little mare-to-mare chat with her new friend/student, only to be bushwhacked by a simple question: "Why?"

This story is a sequel to The Mare of the Night

Daniel Habbuck, UN ambassador to Equestria, hates his job.

Sure it pays well, but it's hardly worth having to put up with flank-kissing politicians and the stomach twisting anxiety of knowing that he represents all of humanity.
One night, after a particularly tense meeting leaves him wound up, Daniel is desperate for somepony to talk to. With his friends either busy or too far away, he hires a batpony prostitute, just so he can have some company.

As he soon learns, there's much more to this streetwalker than meets the eye...

Rated T for sexual references, but no clop.
