Secret Stocking Surpriser is an old Earth Pony tradition of exchanging names to pick out a gift of some sort for the pony in question. On her first Hearth's Warming in Ponyville, Twilight receives Rarity's name from the hat; unfortunately her request "something creative", proves to be surprisingly difficult for Twilight. But she isn't about to give up!

Hopefully, Rarity will like her present.

Twilight loves all her friends, but lately a certain pink pony has been occupying her mind a bit more than usual: thankfully, she knows to keep such feelings to herself.

...So why has that mare been giggling everytime she passes by?

Rarity has always been a romantic at heart, so when she starts receiving notes from her secret admirer, who despite all her care to remain anonymous is clearly Twilight Sparkle, she's ecstatic.

But a relationship can't be built on love notes, however romantic that might be, so now the time has come for Rarity to meet Twilight face to face.

Rated one "omg" from Monochromatic, who appears to be leading me down a dark path of fashion and books and fashionable books.

Twilight is prone to overthinking things, and prefers to learn things in theory, rather than through practice. Sometimes, though, you need a bit of help from your friends.

Growing up means unsightly hairs in unsightly places: fortunately, Rarity is there to help her sister shave...

Fluttershy is a bad pony; she doesn't like to let her friends go.

Tl;dr: Late night Discord chats are bad for you and your pet's health.

Among unicorns, it is traditional for the student to thank their teacher or professor upon graduating with some sort of small gift that properly reflects how much the student valued their instruction.

Twilight has been an alicorn for several months now, and she still hasn't found the perfect gift to give Celestia, who, after all, decided to skip over making Twilight a doctor and head straight to making her a Princess. What sort of gift could she probably give her?

Perhaps an apple will do...

This story is a sequel to Love the One You're With

It's uncomfortable having such deep feelings for your husband's sister. It's even more uncomfortable that he knows, and is encouraging them.

Cadance is trying to push those feelings down deep, where they don't hurt her, but they surface at night, when her will is at its weakest...

Love is certainly a funny, wonderful thing. Cadance never expected it to grow into something so painful for her.

Try as she might, she can't hide it forever, not from herself, and certainly she can't hide it from her husband...
