I wonder what exactly makes Candy mare so powerful? To seeming have power which seems to eclipse Luna and Celestia both.

@Knackerman  
Neat, will try to read the sequels at some point as I’ve been mainly listening to the Readings by Emogak.

What happens to Dashie gets covered in the sequels.
 
She survives the destruction ion of a Ponyville but does not escape the Candy Mare for long. However, her fate is not so simple as just being eaten or turned into a candy ghoul.

It’s interesting how (as far as I remember) Rainbow Dash never got mentioned in the story. Was she also turned into a candy simulacrum, or was she just eaten for Sustenance by the Candy Mare

Nice work!
 
This story both scared and excited me.

@Knackerman  
Thank you so much! I’m so happy to see that you’ve seen and enjoyed this piece; I really wanted to do your work justice, lol

This is really amazing! I love the nods to Something Sweet to Bite Too with Zecora and Big Mac (not to mention Big Mac missing an eye! Great attention to detail.) as well as the Mane 6 and their fates. Candy Ghoul Rarity gnawing on Spike is a particularly nice touch.
 
And of course there is the Candy Mare herself, licorice mane whipping about, leering over everything with her candy corn grin and mouths full of razor sharp candy opening all over her body. Truly magnificent!

Oddly relevant to what happens in the fic.

Well, so much for the plan to have Pinkie eat the villain…
