King Sombra has been brought back to life once again—only this time, he doesn’t have his horn. Weak without it and withering away day by day, Sombra sets out for the Crystal Empire to find his missing piece, chaperoned by the downtrodden and endlessly kind Troubleshoes Clyde.

They’d better hurry. Twilight Sparkle has caught wind of Sombra’s return, and she’s getting awfully tired of destroying him.

None of this is my fault. I was excited for you to get here. You're the one who ruined it.

I need you to understand that... before I send you away.

Sunset Shimmer and Wallflower Blush just started dating. Everything's been going well so far, except for one thing. One nagging suspicion that Sunset can't seem to shake. It doesn't help that Wallflower keeps giving her ample opportunities to worry.

Over the course of her adventures, Daring Do has faced all sorts of monsters and villains-- but during a routine visit to a Saddle Arabian bazaar, she finds herself confronted by two unicorn brothers with a terrible thing: a business proposition.

Written for the Springtime Sequel-Slash-Sandbox Switcheroo! Very (very) vaguely based on the work of Impossible Numbers' Horse Apple Turnover as well as his Daring Do stories like Jungle Tricks.

Trixie's line of work is dangerous. But she's a careful showpony, and that's why she's only died a few dozen times in her career.

She thinks this is normal.

The fruit of Sweet Apple Acres are grown with skill, experience, and love.

That last part makes them nutritious for changelings, a fact which Applejack is only now about to learn. But the changelings themselves have known for a long time – after all, they are some of her closest friends.

Luster Dawn is staying in Ponyville for Hearthswarming, not least because her friend Griselda hasn't ever taken part in a Hearthswarming before and wants to see if it lives up to the reputation. At the very least it's got to be better than the Blue Moon festival back in Griffonstone, right?

Their plans are rudely interrupted however, with an unexpected appearance by formerly deposed King Sombra. Not least because he's making a fool of himself in the local pub instead of trying to conquer the world once more.

A fluffy Hearthswarming tale. The Teen rating is for alcohol references.

This was written for Hotel_Chicken as a part of Jinglemas 2020! For more information about Jinglemas, checkout our group!

Hearthswarming Eve is a foreign concept to Sombra. From being locked away for a thousand years, to living in an entirely different country from Equestria at some point, he just seems to not quite be getting into the spirit of things. And he isn't sure he entirely likes it. That's what Starlight's there for though!

Too bad Starlight kind of forgot another part of the equation of tonight.

This story is a sequel to The Company We Keep

Sombra is by no means an easy opponent. He is a wild card who often employs manipulative ways, among other equally bizarre strategies that are a perfect reflection of his insanity and mysterious nature. After all, how many ponies can cheat death like he did?

How many ponies can cheat death forever?

Sombra certainly thinks he can.
