Author: Aquaman52

Description: If this were a normal case, I wouldn't be chasing after a foalnapper who keeps mailing me riddles that he expects me to solve. I wouldn't be living with an alcoholic perfume salesmare who can't hardly remember her own name, let alone mine. And I certainly wouldn't be turning the fair town of Ponyville upside-down looking for somepony I didn't really want to find in the first place.

Then again, if this were a normal case, they probably wouldn't have hired me to crack it.

Story: A Tangled Web (Update Part 3!)

[Sad][Adventure][Grimdark] That is both the longest stream of tags and the longest description I have ever seen. Brevity is the soul of wit, ponies.

Author: lesserpoet

Description: Every civilization is predicated upon a set of founding myths, a unique Pantheon of heroes and villains. We laud them, idolize them, even speak for them. The nice thing about our legends though, is that they remain firmly locked in our past. They are, in a word, dead.


Imagine for a moment that they were not gone forever. Imagine if one day, they returned, and wanted their power back. Imagine if what we knew of them was built on lies.


Equestria has had 1000 years of relative peace, and prosperity. With the return of Luna, the balance upon which her walls have stood has been restored. Unfortunately, every empire falls. Often, our epilogues are etched deep into those histories that brought about the founding itself. The Elements of Harmony saved the fallen Princess, but their power comes with a heavy cost. When an ancient lie is revealed, when an old dawn threatens the survival of the Equestrian Age, an opportunity arrises to write history anew.... but even in this, as in everything else, what's past is bound to be prologue.

Author: Squeak

Description: Hello, my name is Pinkamina Dian Pie, and I suggest you pick up a much happier story. Perhaps one in which good things happen to little fillies who do everything right, and the sun always shines. If it sounds as though you would like such a story, then please close whatever form of media you are reading this on, and go to the "Normal" section of Equestria Daily, where such stories are stored. This is not a happy story, this is the story of three little fillies, and the terrible events that were to befall them.
