Lyra and BonBon go on holiday to the new resort of Mare-On-Sea, and learn of Hinnysmouth, a disreputable seaside village further up the coast. Despite misgivings, they decide to visit Hinnysmouth, and soon regret their curiosity.

( Inspired by Lovecraft's 'The Shadow Over Innsmouth', of course, and riffing on a certain meme. Some names suggested by Happerry - thanks! Despite the opening quote, not necessarily in the same universe as 'The Stars Will Aid Their Escape' )

Randolph Carthorse tells the authorities what happened out at the ruins of the Palace of the Two Pony Sisters

Directly lifted from Lovecraft's original Randolph Carter story, of course. Cover Art by Shea Vorbach, who included the sketch with her art for The Stars Will Aid Their Escape. Randolph Carter Pony amused me enough that I just HAD to write this up, especially after Shea suggested a way the story could go :)

After being driven out of Ponyville following the incident with the Ursa, The Great and Powerful Trixie flees into the Everfree forest, where she meets a mysterious masked stallion named Herald. Herald offers Trixie a chance to learn ancient magic that will truly make her the most powerful unicorn in Equestria, by offering her a book that not even Twilight Sparkle has ever read. But there is a reason Twilight's never read this book, and there is more to Herald than there appears...
