For nearly every citizen of Equestria, it's a holiday: a chance to get together with friends, gather a few treats, and laugh in defiance of the darkness.

For Celestia, Nightmare Night is something else entirely.

Scootaloo ran away years ago. Since then she's settled into a life in Ponyville. It's not much of one, but it's hers. One cold day she finds herself in the library.

Twilight Sparkle is a Princess, sworn to help all the citizens of Equestria, but how can she help somepony she doesn't know needs it.

Twilight just wanted to have a nice little Thanksgiving meal at her castle before the holiday crush, with some of her closest friends. It doesn't go quite as smoothly as she would have liked.

This isn't a sequel, but it does contain a reference to a crackfic I wrote a few weeks ago: Chrysalis Is My WHAT?!

Some people have hidden depths and skills you'd never expect. Sometimes they're your friends.

A dalek appears in Equestria - not just any dalek, but the one that had been corrupted by Rose Tyler's DNA. It has a choice of life as a pony, or dying, and finds that it cannot bear to die a second time. Thus begins a strange adventure as the dalek tries to find a place for itself in a world that is completely antithetical to its former existence and way of thinking...

...and why does that earth pony stallion look familiar...?

Hello, again!

Many ages after the original adventures of the Elements of Harmony, a certain dragon has his own role to play in the world. Strengthened by what they see as lacking, he stands apart from his own kin as they look upon him with both the fear and respect of one completely devoted to the destined task that he had been hatched for.

Spike's feeling grouchy. Twilight and the rest of his friends set out to cheer him up.

Based on PaperDrop's image, the first chapter was inspired by the July 2014 The Writeoff Association prompt, "History Repeats," the second chapter by the September 2014 prompt, "There is Magic in Everything," and the third chapter by the June 2014 prompt, "Long Way Home." The original version was written as a stand-alone story for the Equestria Daily 2014 Friend Off.

The Hive serves the Swarm. The Swarm serves the Queen. The Queen serves the Hive.
***
Chrysalis is dead. Deposed. So is the way of the Changelings. But now the Swarm comes to a point of contention: none of their kind removed her.

The new Queen must be... selected.

They ask the Hive for a choice. But the Hive chooses not. No, the Hive has something else in mind, someone else who should choose. And so do two cultures, utterly alien to each other, find themselves in a dangerous dance...

Okay diary, can you keep a secret?

Next year Miss Cheerilee is going to let us start interning with the ponies of Ponyville, and I know just who I want to intern with. She's cool, she's stylish, refined, graceful, witty, and she was even in Clothes Horse magazine!

She's the bestest most stupendous and amazingly awesome designer in all of Equestria. She's never taken on an intern before, but I'm hoping I'll be the first.

Look out Rarity, here I come!

My name is Bean Vine Hooffield, and ever since Rarity wrote in some book, I've been hearing that there are some ponies that're saying that Rarity is a garbage pony. Well, I don't think that's right at all, and I'm going to write down why I think that is so that I can prove it too.
