Discord gets Rainbow a gift. Rainbow wishes he wouldn't.

Written for Roundabout Recluse for Jinglemas 2021

What do you do when you're having a dull/stressful/confusing/boring Hearts and Hooves Day? Most ponies would probably go get chocolate and just wait for the romance in the air to pass. The master of chaos, however, wouldn't dream of having such a predictable response. Instead he goes to Princess Celestia to lodge a formal complaint about the holiday as a confusing mess of emotions and illogical social policy to which no creature should be subjected!

Of course, with a little prying, Celestia gets out of Discord the real reason he's complaining about the day. And she happens to have the perfect friendly solution to turn his stubborn pout back into a warm smirk. And in the process, the two former enemies get to know each other just a little better.

(So much fluff. If you're looking for a cuddly read for Valentine's Day, you have come to the right place).

Anypony would have laughed if you'd told them that Discord was flirting with Twilight Sparkle a few weeks ago. She'd never give him a chance, right?
Well, once his spectacularly obvious advances on her commence, Equestria is shocked; she isn't out right rejecting him. In fact, she may even be interested.
The HORROR!

The wonderful people who edit and proofread my story ^^

Two things Twilight learned the days before the Grand Galloping Gala. One: don’t cast spells to force you to stay awake. Two: who knew Discord would make such a brilliant dance partner?

When Twilight royally messes up before the grand galloping gala she sits in agony at the thought of having to see the very nobles at the gala who saw her collapse. However, in this self-deprecation she least expected Discord to be a source of comfort.

Now with a reading!

This story is a sequel to Of Fever Dreams and Falling Stars

A young Celestia is tired of her life as a wanderer and longs for all the luxuries of home. She knows that she is ill-suited to the wilderness. Thoughts of discomfort always nag her, and all she knows how to do is put on a happy face. Her best friend Discord is unable to see anything but the best of her.

Maybe one day, she'll see all that too.

Starlight has entrusted setting up the tree for a Hearth's Warming party at the school of friendship. The fact that he's taken an hour and only has half an hour left, is worrying. But Sunburst has a surprise for her.

Written for Test4Echo for Jinglemas 2021

Sunburst never talked about his family, and Starlight never asked, but when she sees a letter from his father her curiosity was peaked—especially when it's confirmed that he was coming over for a visit, something that Sunburst is less than enthusiastic about.

But the million-bit question is why, after all this time, is he suddenly concerned about his son's welfare? Is it because of simple fatherly concern, or does Sunspot have something more devious in mind?

Either way, he's about to put Starlight and Sunburst to the test, let's see how much of his meddling can these two handle.

Spoiler alert, not a lot.

It's close to Heart's Warming, and it's one of the most exciting times of the year. As much as you love Heart's Warming, you were not a fan of winter due to the insanely cold weather.

After being outside for too long and with Twilight still busy in the middle of holiday preparations, you caught hypothermia and she was unaware of your condition. Which means that it was up to Starlight and Spike to help restore your body temperature.
