"This is a tale said around many a camp fire here in the Mojave. Some will tell you its a tall tale made up by drunken caravaners to past the time on the long and winding roads, but this is a true story. So come take a seat by the fire I have a fresh piece of mole rat in the pot if you care to indulge me with an audience... the story is of the strange pair..."

Thank you to frieD195 for editing and making it look pretty!
Will add tags as they come up.

"And now my dear student, I must wish you goodbye. Forever"

Some secrets should not be shared, Some risks too great. The consequences would just be too dire.
So after Twilight asks her Mentor an innocent question, with a startling answer, the young Mare realises that some secrets are just too dangerous to be shared.

As Nightmare Night comes to Ponyville, Twilight and the other girls are tracked down by Pinkie Pie, who is ecstatic to tell them that they've all been invited to her uncle's manor for one of his world-famous Nightmare Night parties. They meet old and new faces as everyone begins to mingle.

But late that night, a horrible laugh and a bloody scene awaken the guests from their slumber, and they find themselves trapped inside of the house, at the mercy of a psychotic killer. As more and more ponies disappear and slip into this psycho's clutches, it's up to Pinkie Pie and her faithful sidekick Twilight Sparkle to solve the Case of the Brindlehoof Killer.

A dark comedy murder mystery, with lots of ponies and far more characters than Da Rules say I can list. Rated Teen for pony death, blood, and one count of irreverent mishandling of a corpse.

When your life is as dull a gray as the world that surrounds you, the mundanities can make it all seem meaningless. Sometimes all we need is a little color -- or six -- to reintroduce us to what truly makes life worth living.

Twilight rushes home one evening due to a horribly embarrassing event that has just transpired in her life. When Spike finally gets her to talk about it, she tells him of her newly found crush, and how she may have messed up any chance she had at a relationship. With the advice from her number one assistant and friend Applejack, can Twilight fix what happened and get a second chance with her crush?

First fanfic I've written, and a one shot at that. A sequel is in the works if this goes over well!

[Second-person romance fic starring "you" and Lyra] Months have passed since you, a human, have appeared in Equestria and were taken in by a pony by the name of Lyra Heartstrings. Now, you and her are the best of friends, being nearly inseparable.

But what happens when you begin to develop more romantic feelings for the musical mare? Will you face rejection and ridicule? Or does Lyra have some secret feelings of her own?

NEW! Internet Reading!

What happens when you realize that your feelings for one of your friends aren't quite the same as your feelings for the rest of them? Do you just prefer some friends for others, or is it a sign of something deeper? What do you do with those feelings? Hide them? Admit them? And how will the rest of your friends react when they find out?

Twilight is going to have to do her best to find the answers, because they're anything but obvious.

------

Yes, this is a story about romance, but I'm trying to use it to explore the relationships between the characters and see how they'd really react if romantic feelings ever did crop up, and how such a development would impact the cast as a whole.

Now with a TvTropes page!

There's also a dramatic reading in progress on youtube, here.
