Most of ponykind didn't think much of the space far above their heads, until a record from another world fell from the skies.

Another year, another Hearths Warming. For Luna and Chrysalis, it is their turn to host the traditional dinner. While some ponies may feel out of place, a revelation will leave everypony feeling giddy this holiday season.

This story was written for Serina for Jinglemas 2023. They requested a Luna and Chrysalis story. I felt like instead of the usual "How they met" or "how they fell in love" I'd go with something set later, and a little fun.

Serina, I hope you enjoy this!

Sadly no cover art. Couldn’t find something worthy.

This story is a sequel to Bid Time Return

It's nearly Hearth's Warming, and Foggy Freeze is ready to relax, ready to retire, ready to enjoy the holiday with his wife and children.

He is not ready for Discord to pop up at his desk unannounced.

And truth be told, Discord is not ready for this either, but Fluttershy did ask him to apologize to her father, and what better way to celebrate the holidays with an attempt at a much better second impression?

Hearth's Warming Eve is nearly upon Canterlot once again. The city is abustle with holiday shoppers and busy little ponies, but they all have the same thing on their mind: The Hearth's Warming Play!

Ponies from all across Equestria come to audition for the distinguished honor of being in that year's playbill. Whether it's as a stagehand, a contributor, or the coveted actor, it was just an honor to be listed. This year however, an even greater honor was on offer: to share the stage with Princess Celestia herself!

Well, it wasn't yet decided what role she'd be playing, but she was auditioning! Of course she was going to get a role! Why wouldn't she? It was a shoo-in. Especially with her sister Luna waiting in the wings to support her.

As a little filly taking a high-stakes entrance exam at Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns, Twilight Sparkle cracked under the pressure.

Ever since that day, she's had an imaginary friend named "Spike."

Manehattan is such a big place for such little ponies. High rises and concrete make for quite an uninviting, if alluring vista. With so many homes, offices, and shops squished close and stacked high, naturally it's going to get claustrophobic and stuffy; especially so during the summer, where the concrete jungle truly lives up to the moniker. Thankfully, there's one mare on a mission to provide a brand-new, life-saving commodity: air conditioning!

Airflow, the air mare extraordinaire, steps up to rescue ponies everywhere from Celestia's blistering sun (as all batponies should strive for). Join her and her acquaintances as she brings forth the dawn of a new age in home comfort! She'll soon learn however, that not everypony is so appreciative of her rising success...

Cover art was a commission of Airflow by the exceptional Cosmalumi!

Flurry Heart has made the ultimate sacrifice, but is it truly over? After using her own life essence to restore Equestria to an inhabitable state in her own world, she is reborn into a new one. But this one seems much purer, while the enemies that cost her everything to defeat are all either banished or destroyed. Even her mother and father are still alive, and more surprisingly, even her Aunt Twilight? What is this twist of fate and what does it mean for Flurry Heart?

Twilight has taken notice that Pinkie Pie has an extremely unusual set of abilities, and Twilight is determined to find out the source of Pinkie's Power. However, she might not like what she finds

A pony going by the name of Roast Pear invites Applejack, Apple Bloom, Big Macintosh, and even Sugar Belle to a Pear family gathering for certain members of the Pear family. While the Apple siblings are happy to learn a little more about their extended family, they aren't really happy about how Grand Pear and Granny Smith are excluded from this gathering because of their "crimes" against Bright Mac and (especially) Pear Butter.

Rating might change to T to include a few dark or sad themes but I don't think I will need to do that, yet. [\spoiler]

Twilight is home for the holidays, and she and her brothers have a special little tradition between them as they reflect on the events past.
