The Rainb0w Mythos

The Rainb0w Mythos is a shared fictional universe based on the fan stories of brony author Rainb0w Dashie. The term is an allusion to the Cthulhu Mythos in which the stories that encompass The Rainb0w Mythos include shared elements, characters, settings, and themes instead of each story being it's own self-contained universe.

Steeped in the roots of Dark Romanticism, Psychological Horror , Gothic Fiction and Jungian Psychology , common themes in The Rainb0w Mythos include:
 * The moral ambiguity of good and evil, playing off the 'every villian is the hero of their own story' trope and presenting characters making the right choices for the wrong reasons, the wrong choices for the right reasons, etc. Often attempting to acculturate story 'villains' to have believable motiviations instead of cartoonishly evil for the sakle of being evil motivations.
 * Psychological and emotional vulnerabilities/fears revealing the darker parts of the character's psyche that may have been repressed or denied. Using a character's fears and instabilities to build tension.
 * Gloomy and frightening scenery and the mysterious, melancholy, and supernatural elements of the medieval-inspired architecture and ruins of Equestria.
 * Characters that are prone to sin and self-destruction in a natural world that is dark, decaying, and mysterious that frequently shows individuals failing in their attempts to make changes for the better.
 * A divine undercurrent with themes of primordial light and darkness with 'characters' representing the personification of darkness, light, the sun, the moon, emotions, etc. Signifying a constant struggle between light and darkness and various cosmic truths that are beyond the comprehension of many of the characters inside the mythos.

Waiting For You
Description: Rainbow Dash hasn't been sleeping well, in fact, she hasn't been sleeping well for the better half of a month now. Tossing and turning at night, sleeping past her alarms, and often waking up exhausted, confused, and with her hooves outstretched as if to reach out for somepony. Thinking she's maybe just exercising too hard she tries to take it easy on herself, that is until a series of unpredictable nightmares bring Rainbow Dash back to a place long forgotten by Equestrian history.

Inspired by the music of Cult of Luna, A Pale Horse Named Death, and the author's own dreams; This is a story about the things we believe in, the things swept away by the passage of time, and the things left behind that are still there waiting for you.
