After Luna's *interesting* approach to snuggling, you stop by Celestia's chambers to spend some quality time snuggling with her. However, like many simple actions in life, this one may lead to a deeper connection than you expected.

A sequel to "Shadowy Snuggles" and the fifth story in the "Snuggles" series. If you're new to the series, you can start with "Seraphic Snuggles", or just jump right in here!

Fabulous cover art commissioned from Akemiroses!

It's Hearth's Warming Eve once again, and Anon plans on spending it the same way he spends it every year: drunk and alone.

Well, not if Celestia and Luna have anything to say about it.

Using a human shower is intuitive.
For a human.
Fluttershy is not a human.

Written for a close friend.

Metal Gear has fallen into the hooves of an Equestrian revolutionary, who, with the backing of his human mercenary allies, intends to use it to depose Celestia and crown himself ruler. Having crossed into Equestria in pursuit of this rogue weapon, the legendary Solid Snake must ally with the residents of Ponyville to prevent a nuclear catastrophe.

See also Equestria Gear Solid, the hilarious spin-off EQG parody in which everything you know is wrong, and every single character from the story is an awful caricature of themselves.

Affection therapy: a new and innovative practice in Equestria wherein the patient/subject is calmed and relaxed through simple displays of platonic affection, such as ear scratches, nose boops, and belly rubs. It's surprisingly effective, and leaves the pony happy and content. The strangest thing, however, is that you, a simple human living in Ponyville, 'invented' this practice completely by accident.

*I wrote this a long time ago, before Every Little Thing She Does aired. The first chapter takes place between No Second Prances and that episode, and I decided to touch it up and release it now as an early Christmas gift to you guys, as a simple piece of cute, platonic fluff. More to come, too, when I find the time and inspiration.

The Cutie Mark Crusaders approach Spike with the most important question ever... who is 'the cute one'. It gets weird really quick.

Featured! 1/2/2017

All "Cute One" stories have to come in chapters from now on. Mods Orders.

This story is a sequel to Scholarly Snuggles

After Twilight snuggles you (on Princess Celestia's orders) to learn about how the magic of cuddling relates to the magic of friendship, Twilight decides that her other friends should learn the same lesson- and sends you to Rainbow Dash first. Adorable cuddling and some surprising truths about Rainbow Dash (eventually) follow.

A sequel to "Scholarly Snuggles" and "Seraphic Snuggles", and the third story in the "Snuggles" series.

Oriole has a problem. She can't stop eating stallions.

Rarity has a problem. Her new friend can't stop eating stallions.

Twilight Sparkle has a problem. A stallion-eating monster has moved into her town.

Spike's just glad he's not a stallion.

At 3:15 AM, Adams woke me with a loud knock on my front door.
"Put your boots on," he said when I answered. "There's a biblical monster in my house."

Another visit to the ER for Dash, but that's not going to keep her from her usual night out with the girls. The conversation turns to Death, and… it's not at all what Twilight expected. Death either.
