Lyra takes Princess Luna shopping for a Hearth's Warming present, with extreme prejudice.

The business of government never stops, and paperwork never rests, even on Hearthwarming. But this particular Hearthwarming, Cabinet Secretary and tea enthusiast Dotted Line plans to do his level best to see it, at least, take a break. His ponies need to go home to their families, and he, well, he has plans this Hearthwarming.

Twilight’s hosting her yearly white elephant gift exchange, and Princess Luna couldn’t be more honored to attend.  The camaraderie of spending an evening with friends captures the spirit of Hearth’s Warming in such a way that even a silly yet simple game can mean so much more.  But while the fire of friendship burns strong, so too does the fire of curiosity:

What could possibly be in that box?

A very belated Secret Santa gift for Lopunny. I'm so sorry this took so long! Hope you like it!

There's more to Luna's duties than simply stopping nightmares. As well, not all nightmares are confined to dreams. Sometimes a pony needs a special reminder of their importance.

Tempest Shadow had switched loyalties rather quickly, but blending into the other aspects of life is taking longer. In particular, Hearth’s Warming proves a bit of a challenge to understand—well, no, more to remember. She’d blocked out a lot of her foalhood. And Twilight Sparkle suggests Sweetie Belle as the one to help her get it back.

Your Hearth's Warming gift is the ultimate way to show your loved ones how much you care about them, so it's absolutely, positively important that you make sure it's the best it can be! At least, that's what Pinkie Pie says, and who is Rainbow Dash to argue with that logic? If you love your friends, you should go out of your way to make sure that their gifts are super special.

But when Rainbow starts feeling like her gift to Rarity might not be as perfect as she thought it was, she begins to worry that Rarity might get the wrong idea. Twilight's Hearth's Warming Eve party is tonight, so she'd better hurry and find something special!

Wheatland farms: the greatest source of food in Equestria. The ponies of Fillydelphia rely on it for bread, bakery products, and hay.

When a freak wildfire takes out an entire season's worth of crops, things are dire. The ponies of Fillydelphia are facing starvation.

Applejack hatches a daring plan. Accelerate the weather around her orchard, rushing through Winter, Spring, Summer, and Autumn, and reap another harvest in time before Fillydelphia's stocks run out. There's just one problem: all she has is a week.

For this to work, she needs a pegasus. Specifically, she needs a pegasus as nuts as her...

In a world of brass and steam, Twilight Sparkle had thought she had made a life-changing discovery with the invention of the telescope. For better or worse, she was correct.

Now her discovery has not only changed her life, but the lives of those she seeks out in her desperate attempt to contact the only other creature as lonely as Twilight herself.

It all would have been much simpler, but it had to be the one Twilight could only call The Mare on the Moon.

Decidedly not within walking distance, then.

Romance, palace intrigue, and swashbuckling adventure await our six heroines when Princess Luna summons the Elements of Harmony to Canterlot.

I started writing this story in the middle of March 2011 and submitted the last chapter and the epilogue to EqD 3 1/2 months later on July 4th. The basic idea for it, though, had come to me after watching the first two episodes on YouTube at the beginning of that February, but it took me a month to discover there were places on the net to which a person could send fanfiction and have it posted. I don't get out much, y'see...

The discerning reader may, therefore, find a bit of canon-fodder here and there, and for all that I've thought about diving back in and changing a few things to make the story line up better with Season 2, I'm not gonna. For better or for worse, this story's done, and I hope to use what I learned while writing it and from the comments it's gotten--and the comments I reckon it'll get here--to make my next story better.

It's been a dozen centuries since Discord's cousin Hades sold his former realm of Tartarus to Celestia and Luna, and now he's decided to get back into the game with another realm, a lighter, fluffier realm of daydreams that he calls Mythos. Visiting Rainbow Dash on Nightmare Night to recruit her as a professional daydreamer, Hades sets eyes on Fluttershy, and, well, a myth's gotta do what a myth's gotta do...

This story wasn't actually an entry in the Flutterdash group's Nightmare Night Story Contest, but it was inspired by the prompt.
