Couple of gift fics!

Hi all,
Wanted to do a lil fic recommendation post for a couple of authors who have very kindly written me some stories over these last few weeks.

TIridescence

• MLP: FiM
• Sad
• Slice of Life

It was the best day ever or the worst day ever, depending on how one framed it.

• Death
• Twilight
• Rainbow Dash

The Red Parade · 1.5k words  ·  152  9 · 2.3k views

First off, Red has just published this wonderful story. It's amazingly written and absolutely soul-rending, but in the best possible way. Red continues to be a singular talent who we could all learn a lot from. Go and show it some love!

EHeartless

• MLP: FiM
• Drama
• Mystery

Chrysalis and Cadance have been engaged in a battle of wills against each other for longer than either can remember, but little do they know they're both fighting for the same reasons.

• Cadance
• Chrysalis

Silent Whisper · 2.5k words  ·  209  8 · 2.1k views

Next up, Silent did this winding and heady drama. It's an excellent piece that deals with love, identity, and the ways we sacrifice ourselves for those most important to us. Silent really did knock it out of the park with this one.

EA time for forgiveness

• MLP: FiM
• Slice of Life

Celestia has forgiven her sister for her crimes as Nightmare Moon, but Luna remains distant. Celestia wants nothing more than to celebrate Hearth’s Warming with her little sister, and Twilight’s latest friendship report has given her an idea.

• Celestia
• Luna

Shaslan · 4.6k words  ·  45  1 · 1.1k views

Last, but certainly not least, I was incredibly fortunate to be matched with Shaslan for Jinglemas, and her piece was as excellent as one would expect from her. The prose is top notch, the plot is thoughtful and considered. I will be very excited to add a reading of this into my Christmas traditions from now on!
