This story is a sequel to My Little Pony: The Draconic Sister - Reboot
As winter time hits Ponyville, there is much to celebrate this Hearth's Warming Eve: The bravery of Starlight, Trixie, Discord, and King Thorax for rescuing the ponies from the false queen Chrysalis; the wedding of Spike & Smolder; an engangement proposal by Soarin; and...wait, what was that second thing again?!
This story is an interlude bridging the gap between My Little Pony: The Draconic Sister - Reboot and the planned proper sequel My Little Pony: Draconic Lovers. While this story is mostly only connected to the final chapter of My Little Pony: The Draconic Sister - Reboot, it contains a very important plot point for My Little Pony: Draconic Lovers that won't become relevant for the first few chapters of the proper sequel story. As such, while you can safely overlook this story for plot purposes for now, and instead look at it as a great holiday story to enjoy this Christmas Eve; you will need to keep it in the back of your mind for when My Little Pony: Draconic Lovers launches in 2024.
Hello there. Thanks very much for this one-shot reposted after a few additions/edits. Again, the exchanges, characterizations and future story set-up are rather well done. In addition to the stuff I said the last time I responded to this (such as the reactions to the hot sauce prank, the stuff with Rainbow and Soarin' and Ember's inner reflections), I also liked Twilight's pointing out Shining's hypocrisy concerning his reaction on not being told about a sibling's wedding until pretty late into the preparations (though, given that even Pinkie was caught off guard, that shows how good Spike did at keeping things secret).
