There are rumours circulating. Stories about something lurking in the darkness. Something hiding in the unlit corners of rooms and hallways. Something waiting in the shadow. But they're just rumors. Just fiction. There's nothing to be afraid of. There's nothing there at all.

An entry into the A Thousand Words contest, under the "Grim" and "Experimental" categories.

Live reading by The Mystery Fluttershy Fan.

Vaguely inspired by a series that doesn't exist.

Fluttershy lives a normal pony life: Simple needs, good friends, an established reality around her... and so, she starts her day as usual. Until Discord visits. But she has stuff to do.

Warning: Read at your own risk. When I say Random, I mean Random.

Cities are faceless places where anypony can go to loose themselves or else be lost, either by choice or against their volition. The sweeping metropolis of Manehattan is no exception to this rule, being well filled with the hidden and the hiding, pulled there by its promise. For two such as these however, living in amongst the ivory spires, a chance encounter will potentially open up a brighter world.

Great thanks to Haphazard for pre-reading.

Also thank you to anyone who reads my stuff.

Notes:
• Title: Fateful Threads and Silken Flowers (French)
• I use the word pegasus with both a singular and plural meaning, rather than pegasi, due to personal preference. Apologies if it is an annoyance.

Long ago, before the present Equestria existed, an isolated young kingdom known as the United Triarchy of Equestria was ruling with the land with newfound friendship. While it was far from a utopia, it was the best nation that the world had seen in a long, long time.

Meanwhile in the city of Canterlote, Clover the Clever breaks every element of her life in one simple move: she takes a walk after her bedtime. Now, she is lost and only wants to return home.

Due to the revisions and re-posts of the original two (now one) chapters, all comments remaining are from the older version are not relevant to the story, but will spoil it. Contribute to the TVTropes page! Read the spoiler-filled review of the old version from PaulAsaran you can check out here. His feedback helped create the new version.

Granny Smith has lived a long and storied life, but nopony lives forever.

This story is a sequel to Piece by Piece

Twilight Sparkle, Fluttershy, and Sunset Shimmer are used to controversy. Ever since Sunset was added to the others' marriage, ponies haven't stopped talking about them, and not in the way they would have liked. And being the newest member of the royal trio, Sunset's gotten the brunt of the public's ire.

So, when three royals and their draconic little brother decide to get away from it all for a while, it's no surprise that their first choice is going to be a road trip... to the human world!

So, the four embark on a journey, riding atop Sunset's motorcycle to fun, beaches, adventure, friends, and whatever else might lie before them! After all, what better place to lose oneself, if not the open road?

A story set in the Who We Become series.

Twilight and her friends are leaving for a week-long vacation, leaving Ponyville in the very capable hooves of Lyra and Bon-Bon.

What's the worst that could happen?

Written for the February Write-Off.

When Luna and Celestia visit Anon's house to check up on him, Luna has the bright idea of wanting to kill Anon. Obviously, Anon has no input in between their arguments and is completely ignored as they discuss Anon's murder.

He hides in the shadows, he causes nightmares and pain.
He is always just out of sight, yet he leaves no one unscathed.
And today... just like every other day we search. And no matter what, we will find it.
And he shall be brought to justice.

Authors note~ A friend asked me to write something and it turned into well... this. Even i don't know what to think sooo... enjoy. Oh and thank google for the cover art.
