Written for The Chronicler for Jinglemas 2021

Pipp has liked Hitch for a while now, but she has a tendency to show up late to many of his celebrations, which has given him the wrong idea. With a little help from her friends, maybe she'll be able to win him over, just maybe so long as there's no Hitch in their plans.

Happy Holidays

Spike's seen his fair share of the world. It'd truly felt like each passing year had taken with it a little more of Twilight's sanity, until all that was left was a husk of the mare-turned-alicorn.

Twilight, in the end, couldn't comprehend the life of an immortal.

Couldn't fathom the idea of living for thousands of years.

But Spike can.

Because Spike has.

And it's destroying him.
