A Darkness Softly Creeping
is an entry in The Weedverse by Kudzuhaiku. Prince Gosling and Princess Luna must work together to destroy a rift leaking nightmares into the waking world.
This fanfic contains examples of:
- Circling Birdies: Like in The Perilous Romance Of Swans, Gosling gets circling alicorns when dazed.
- Elemental Embodiment: A Darkness Elemental has taken up residence in the house.
- Parental Abandonment: The filly was abandoned by her biological parents, causing the nightmares that lead to the rift.
- Power Incontinence: An uncontrolled ability to make dreams real is the cause of the story.
- Reality Warper: The filly the main characters come to rescue can pull dreams into the real world.
- Talking the Monster to Death: Gosling defeats the darkness elemental by convincing Nightmare Moon (a transfigured Moon Rose, though he believes it to be Luna) that she is loved, cutting off the negative emotions the elemental is feeding on.
