The great clown Robin Williams shares with Pinkie Pie some wisdom on an old joke, Pagliacci the Great Clown. She also gets the chance we all wish we'd had: to say goodbye.

Vinyl Scratch's long awaited album is finally going to be released, but she needs somewhere that would fit the darker themes. Somewhere like, say, an abandoned psychiatric hospital rumored to once be the resting place of Nightmare Moon.

Dragging her roommate Octavia along, they soon discover something darker than imaginable has taken up residence in the abandoned corridors. Something that has no plans to let them leave.

Inspired by VinylScratchDjPony and his song/artwork for "Mah Evil Pet" over on YouTube, which he graciously allowed me to use for coverart.

Also, a prereader (ImJustAnotherBrony, who else?) would like to stake the claim that he was first to use the nickname 'Tavi', so I guess due credit to him. Or something.

The usually suave Lucky Day has just been turned down by Exie backstage, and can't get over the fact that his love would hurt him so.

Dusty Vellum is sitting at the bar, trying to drink herself into oblivion with a bottle of Applejack Daniels.

The two meet, get struck by the infamous 'Ping Pong Trick', are witness to the birth of Equestrian Nutella, and see some familiar faces having fun, while everypony involved ends up earning more/less than they bargained for.

Written for the Exie Writing Contest by that glorious bastard ImJustAnotherBrony. This fic is intentionally terrible, and includes the 'Sex' tag due to implied... well, 'intimacy' isn't the right word, so let's go with 'debauchery'.

In the days leading up to the annual Summer Sun Celebration, Discord finds himself without anypony to mess with- they're all simply too busy with preparations. Overhearing some gossip, Discord finds out about the Element of Laughter's rumored 'fourth wall' breaking abilities- whatever that means.

In pursuing those rumors, Discord will inadvertantly create: the sport of Hoofball, the 'Summer Sunbowl' game between the Canterlot Crusaders and the Crystal Empire Knights, and a rivalry that will last throughout the ages!

UNDER REVISION AS OF 06/25/13, REVISED CHAPTERS WILL LACK 'PAROUSIA' BEFORE CHAPTER NUMBER

Paul's self confidence has always been an issue, but on the night that he needs it most, a saving grace falls quite literally into his lap.

Now stuck in an overrun Equestria full of demons and shackled ponies, this brony has to work through his personal issues in addition to dealing with the evil forces at work. He'll experience the highest peaks of joy and lowest valleys of pain, and maybe even find a love for the ages. But there are dark beings pulling strings behind the scenes, and nopony knows just how deep Equestria's troubles run.

In the end, could Paul's personal issues and those of Equestria somehow be linked?

(Note: This is my first fic ever, criticism is welcome and appreciated. Also, NOT a self-insert.)
