Hmmmm, some intersting tales. Again, well set for your version of Equestria, which we've been over. The first gave me the most to say, mostly for how much it made me think of Hogfather, and anything that brings up Discworld thoughts is always good. But, it felt a lot like some scenes there, where Death is trying to do good deeds for Hogswatch. (Discworld version of X-Mas) Especially... that scene that.. sad, amazing.. beautiful, one of the most moving and powerful and heartwarming and just.... wonderful scenes ever written... Terry Pratchett's take on 'The Little Match Girl'. It felt a lot like that, which is great.

The rest.. each had their charm, love the Roe stuff, so sweet.

Though, in others, I really really have to question how any foal could be going hungry, and cold, and all that.. in PONYVILLE! When the fic, through referencing Twilight being there makes clear the time frame. Because, not only do you have Twilight, but, if nothing else, Pinkie Pie, who you know would make damn sure everypony had a fun Hearthswarming.

Still, for you version of Equestria, these were very nice.

Why are the titles of most of the chapters capitalized?

It is just my habit. I like the title to stand out. No great secret. Sorry.

Good one. I really like your Rom stories my friend.

Thank you. Since they instituted the "gotta be connected to one of these series" rule, it has been difficult to post anything except what can be posted as "chapters" to sets that I already have.
