Since returning from the human world, Princess Twilight Sparkle has had a crush on Flash Sentry. Years later, when he was assigned as her royal guard, she had to ask her friends for advice. But when a threat from Celestia and Luna's past has returned to conquer Equestria, it will be up to Twilight and Flash to stop the threat and save Equestria.

This is a Flashlight fanfic. It's also an Applejack x Rainbow Dash, Rarity x Fancy Pants, Fluttershy x Discord, Pinkie Pie x Cheese Sandwich, and Spike x Apple Bloom.

This story Takes place in an alternative universe, a couple of years after the Season 8 finale.

Seeking refuge from a sudden rainstorm in Maretime Bay one Nightmare Night, Hitch, Zipp and Sparky flee to Hitch's home to dry off. As Sparky slumbers, Hitch and Zipp decide to sit on the couch and watch some Nightmare Night movies, enjoying the spooky holiday even as the storm rages on outside.

Could a night of popcorn and scary movies evolve into something more?

I wanted to write a fun Nightmare Night short story that featured one of my favorite MLP Gen 5 ships, Hitch x Zipp, so here it is. The [Sex] tag is merely for some implied extracurricular activities.

This story contains: some suggestive content, some Hitch x Zipp shipping, a ponified version of Netflix, Nightmare Night, joking references to horror movies and mlp creepypastas, special effects that represent gore but are clearly just visual effects (so fake gore), an OC from an older fic, and... a vampony!

I know it's December (at the time that I post this story), but hey if Christmas can invade both October and November then turnabout is fair play.

In an Equestria where Princess Luna was never possessed by the Nightmare the world thrived under both Celestia and Luna's rule. As such, the timeline diverted. After rigorous evaluations, Sunset Shimmer was chosen by Princess Celestia to be her student. Twilight Sparkle, having been glossed over by the Sun Princess, was selected by Princess Luna to be her pupil. One day, the Immortal Sisters send their protégés on a mission to a small town. When the villain named Starlight Glimmer appears all of their lives will be changed forever.

In the heart of Equestria, shadows gather and secrets lie buried. A young alicorn named Nyx carries the weight of a dark past, while a relentless adversary seeks revenge that could shatter her resolve. As a deadly game of intentions unfolds, alliances will be tested, and the boundaries of morality blurred. Unveil the enigmatic journey where loyalties waver and a sinister peril looms, threatening to unleash chaos upon an unsuspecting land. 'Black Feather' is a tale of mystery, vengeance, and the choices that define heroes and villains.

Ocellus is home for spring break. She doesn't like being home. There are memories there. Ones she'd rather not dredge up.

Royalty had put him here, and royalty would let him out.

A deal here, a concession there, and openings would appear.

A crack could break a marble statue, a drop of poison could ruin a meal, the smallest of errors could bring down anything.

The world ended.

That, at least, is what it sounded like. Screaming, howling, and then deathly silence.

A month later, Cheerilee and Scootaloo emerge from their shelter in search of food. As they search among the dead bodies of their friends, only one question comes to mind:

Where are the unicorns?

It's Hamtaro Time! One day, the Ham-Ham gang suddenly stubbled upon a strange portal, and now are stuck with no way back home. They have arrived in the town of Ponyville, shortly after the events of the MLP:FiM season premier. What changes will these hamsters cause? And how crazy can these hamsters get, when EVERY PONY can understand the ham-ham gang? Only one thing is for certain: When trouble comes a knocking, there's only one hamster that can lead the charge; and his name is Hamtaro!

I checked. This is officially Fimfiction's FIRST actual Hamtaro and MLP crossover fanfic. Fun fact. The Hamtaro Anime was my childhood. Seriously, this show practically inspired me to create the lore around my OC self and everything my philosophy stands for was molded BY Hamtaro. If it hadn't been for that show, I probably wouldn't even be the person I am today. I latched onto "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic" so quickly because the first season alone reminded me WAY too much of Hamtaro and that connection only grew from there. As such, "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic" really made me jump into fanfic writing, so I have that show to thank for inspiring me to finally jump into the grand world of fanfic. Now it's time to bring smiles to a new generation. And there's only one hamster for the job; and his name is Hamtaro!

This story is a sequel to Airship Mauled

Note: Not a true sequel to Airship Mauled, though there will be references and one artifact in particular that leads to this story happening.

"Baa-Ram-Ewe!" - The ancient war cry of the lambkin.

Pom 'The Canine Queen' Lambchop never thought she would have to use those three meaningful words so much.

She was living an easy going life with her family in a place known as The Volcano, or Huoshan if you were a native, as the head of the Huoshan Canine Division of the Huoshan Guard.

Her (mostly) calm life as the HCD head is soon inexorably interrupted when she's called upon to be an escort for a team of diplomats to a meeting with the Ruler of Equestria, Princess Twilight Sparkle, in Ponyville.

This lambkin, the supposed Black Sheep of her generation with very meager personal ability to defend herself, is ripped away from the world of Equestria along with three others.

A timid lambkin, a cutesy loving dragon, a sweet studious changeling and a wannabe pirate goat are going to be stuck together for quite a while.
