Jason's life has grown dull. While some may have thought that the weekly monster attacks might have kept him on his toes, he had grown to learn that as the norm around town. Now, after months of living in Ponyville, he can't shake the feeling that there is a void in his life. He follows his usual routine every day: breakfast, a quick shower, followed by a quick walk to the park to read the newspaper. One morning, he finds two parents playing with their filly in the playground. As he watches, an idea sparks within his mind: why not adopt a pony of his own?

Scootaloo wasn't quite sure what she expected when she found a letter from her "secret admirer" asking to meet her after school, but it wasn't an invitation to the school dance. Nor was it spending Hearts and Hooves Day with Silver Spoon.

(Part 1: LBS) After the Battle of the Bands, Aria realized that she still wanted to stay with the other two Sirens. If anyone were to ask her, she'd say it was "just cause". But the truth was she stayed for Sonata.

(Part 2: LCS) Aria and Sonata are happy together, finally ready to start their lives with one another. Time to see if their marriage can hold up to their anger, stupidity, and selfish, gold-digging landlord.

Winter tends to be a little cold, even in the seaside town of Halterside. The beach sand was frozen, the ocean colder than normal, the lighthouse covered in frost and given a haunting glow at night, and the rest of the town would be under a blanket of snow, awaiting the day that they'd begin their Winter Wrap Up.

Naturally, ponies would gravitate toward warmth. A colt named Silver Shill knew that very well, and thus, he attempts to run a cocoa stand at the town's Hearth's Warming Festival, with the drinks made by his late father's special recipe. After all, it was a delicious mix, and his Pop had always loved to serve it.

He may be in a little over his head. Still, it's a tradition, and he's going to continue it. Maybe it would help him get a handle on a recent tragedy, or impress that pretty little cousin of his neighbor's.

The Hearth's Warming tale of a windigo who met a pony, and how they learned from each other that sometimes cold and warmth don't have to be opposites.

When Granny Smith sends Big Mac to visit the Pie homestead, his manner of speech leads to an embarrassing misunderstanding about the nature of his visit. Can music and rock candy reconcile the matters of the heart and soul that Big Mac reveals? Or will his request to visit the Pairing Stone force one gray little pony to make a choice she'd like but doesn't want?

After the events of the first Apple/Pie Hearth's Warming celebration, two ponies wish to spend a little time getting to know each other better.

A pair of unlucky ponies are lucky to meet one another.

A short and sweet story about a first date.

Also thanks to my followers for putting up with me lately.

Marble and Mac sit across from each other, each giving themselves pep talks about how they should confess their feelings to the other.

Will it work? Will they have enough time? Or will they fail and have to find their courage all over again?

My 20th story is finally here! Whoo-hoo!

A little piece of fluff about how two friends started dating, thanks to an ill-timed slip of the tongue.
