Below Canterlot, down where the forgotten ponies stare up at the mountainside laden with Hearth's Warming lights, a lone Changeling walks into a bar. He just wants a drink to lessen the pain building in his chest and warm the chill in his body.
The bartender has other ideas.

A wonderful little tale of bittersweet and warm hearts.
Thank you. I enjoyed the read very much.

Glad you enjoyed it. Your prompt was actually a lot of fun to work with, as it gave me several different ideas (at least five I outlined in full). It was quite hard to finally settle on this concept, but I went with it because it was the one I thought I could most effectively execute on an emotional level. I think everybody sometimes feels like the relationships in their lives overwhelm them, and finding a way to portray that in a Equestrian setting was very cathartic for me.
Happy Holidays!
