Twenty years later, Celestia has for the second time taken on a new private student. Twilight can no longer be the Faithful Student, but feels she has failed to become anything else. She must find out what and who she now is—and the difference between these things.

(Non-Twilicorn universe. On EQD March 17, 2013.)

When Discord drops by the donut shop one morning, Joe is understandably nervous. When the draconequus keeps coming back, the baker soon realizes his life is better with Discord in it.

Discord comes to the same conclusion.

One of them just needs to admit it to the other.

Thanks to Mykola for the pre-read, Punished Bean for talking through a few sections, and to CrazyDiamond and everyone else for listening to me ramble on about this one.

Art combined by me from two sources.

Hearth's Warming Eve.

For the ponies of Equestria, it is a time of giving and great joy, but for little Rose Aphid it could be the last day of her life. For you see, Rose is an outcast female changeling, and it has been a long time since she has felt love or kindness.

With time running out, her journey takes her to the most unlikely of places in search of love.

The first story in the Life of a Rose.

There's no place like Donut Joe's diner to unwind after a long, hard day. Good company, great coffee, and the best dang cucumber omelette in Equestria. After the week Celestia's had, she could really, really use a place to get away from it all.

Here, the regulars all know her as Sunny Skies, the unassuming workaholic mare who hasn't taken a day off in... ever. Well, today's her lucky day. Sunny's about to have one apocalyptically long holiday.

Luna's become delirious with a fever, Discord's fled the castle in terror, there's a living moon locked in Celestia's dining room, and something is very, very wrong with Equestria's sugar.

Put on a pot of coffee, folks. We've got an all-nighter on our hooves.

Crazy huge thanks to Luminary, Brawny and Eakin for pre-reading and editing this horrid thing.

Dinky Hooves goes out with a flawless plan for Derpy’s Hearth’s Warming gift. She has only to make the perfect pastry present a reality. And along the way, she’ll find an even better one.

And now there's a reading on Neighrator Pony's YouTube channel!

Pony Joe returns to Sweet Apple Acres. This time, he's attending a wedding.

An experiment in a different writing style that I threw together in just a few hours. Written purely for the sake of trying things out. Constructive criticism welcome.

Inspired by a contest prompt I ended up not being able to utilize in time for said contest and a song I'd forgotten about until recently.

This story is a sequel to Donut Nights 2: A Heartfelt Hearthswarming

Over ten months ago, Luna and Donut Joe confessed their feelings to each other on Hearthswarming Eve and embarked upon a beautiful courtship. Now it's Nightmare Night, and Luna and Joe are one of the most admired couples in all of Equestria. Indeed, their emotions have blossomed completely from a simple crush all the way to...a confession each of them is prepared to make tonight. Still though, they worry about where the future will lead and if they will be able to manage all of the challenges it can hold.

Fortunately, Joe and Luna's relationship-building skills are always fresh thanks to the amount of effort they have to put in on Discord and Celestia who are still just friends despite how ridiculously close they've gotten (). Clearly they need some advice from a seasoned couple (and perhaps Celestia and Discord can help teach Luna and Joe something along the way).

It's an evening of absolute relationship madness, so come one, come all, to the First Annual Nightmare Night Ball!

Sequel:
Donut Nights 4: Hearts and Hooves Day Redux

It's too early for everything in the mind of Donut Joe... especially a dramatic coltfriend!

The Book of All Stories has been opened. Fizzy Glitch, a kirin in crisis, has opened a box that cannot be closed. And all of this has unraveled at the site of Ponyville Ciderfest 2023. You are now part of an effort to find the scattered pages, each containing the power to change the narrative. Will you restore the past, reshape the present, or control the future?

A series of short vignettes—app stories written for Ponyville Ciderfest 2023.

Included are all the endings to each story as well as the code word associated with the story in the app.

The stories were structured to be bite-sized interactions for consumption by attendees. Attendees were then meant to select endings for each scenario, furthering a faction of their choosing.

Fleetfoot, the second-in-Command of the Wonderbolts, takes a small break after a rigorous training session. Little did she know or even comprehend she'd be reliving not only past traumas but a long lost friend in the process.

This is a story I wrote for the May 2022 Pairings Competition and I'm actually quite happy with it.

The amazing new art for this story was made by my friend Leanne264 and I am so delighted for it!
