Capper has been carrying a torch for Rarity ever since the Storm King's defeat. Now, at the behest of a friend, he vows to deliver her a Hearth's Warming surprise. Too bad he's never experienced winter before.

Written as an exchange story gift for my friend Nailah, with the premise: "Romance, preferred. Any pairing is fine, but I'm a big fan of Rarity and Capper."

A thank you to The Red Parade for proofreading before publishing.

With the disparate peoples of the world now closer than ever before, thanks in no small part to the efforts of Twilight Sparkle, Princess Celestia decides that it might be time for some more official collaborative efforts together. Unfortunately, trying to get world leaders to agree on something proves more troublesome than she had hoped.

Sunburst got the ring, he's got the girl, all he needs is her father's blessing.

But Firelight, the overprotective, overbearing parent that he is, won't give it up without a (metaphorical) fight.

_{Happy Father's Day to all the fathers out there! Don't be like the Firelight in this story and support your kids.}

Thorax tells his brother that he gave away the remains of Chrysalis's throne. Pharynx is less than pleased.

Written for Equimorto for Jinglemas 2018.

Radiant Hope is overjoyed to celebrate Hearth's Warming with Sombra for the first time in over a thousand years. Pharynx is cautiously optimistic about his brother's plans for a holiday party. But both of them are shocked and hurt to find that their loved ones don't want to spend the holiday with them. A chance meeting in a diner offers them both the chance to fix the holiday season, but will they be strong enough to overcome the hopes and fears of all the years gone by?

Caballeron's sources had led him to believe Daring Do would be found at this convention, but he was scarcely prepared for the outright celebration of his rival!

Not just the costumes, or the goods, but entire discussion panels devoted to those wretched Daring Do books.

Although... it seemed there was one panel devoted to him!

[Set during the events of Stranger than Fan Fiction, if it isn't already obvious.]

You may never have heard of him, but Dr. Caballeron is one of the most infamous treasure hunters in the world. As a pony whose whole purpose in life is to loot ancient artifacts for bits, you would assume he is an arrogant, prideful and smug pony who you would love to buck in the face; and you'd be mostly right.

Still, even a pony like that can swallow his pride when he needs help, and there is nopony he can trust more than his former partner, Ms. Daring Do.

Twilight concocts a half-baked plan to spend the night with Shadowlock, a handsome stallion she has her eye on.

Down in Klugetown, they don't celebrate Hearth's Warming Eve like Equestria does. The residents of Klugetown don't do anything like the ponies do. And if you were someone who would call yourself a friend of ponies, you'd have a tough time making it in Klugetown, a place where a friend is a liability to one's health and fortune. Living in Klugetown required one to be smart, and it's not smart to have friends. Only stupid creatures have friends in Klugetown, which is when they start hoping they're lucky, because they have an uphill battle to stay afloat.

Whoever said it was better to be lucky than smart might have been on to something. Because a pony like her, you only meet that kind when you're lucky and stupid. And if you're smart, you'll realize it'll never happen and you should stop thinking about it.

But you didn't meet her and fall in love because you were smart.
