Twist makes a friend, and shares the spirit of the season with a lonely stranger. A Hearth's Warming tale.

(One of my submissions for Nanopowrimo)
((OC alert)) Stress Relief is a mare who has always had a knack for making others feel calm and collect. There was never stress in her house because of her. However one particular mode of stress relief is her forte, and how will she break it to her friends and family?

Detective Conan wakes up in Ponyville, missing his main gadgets and finding that his body was turned into a foal's. Although he expects it to be a dream, he soon finds links between his real world and the world that he now lives in. Along with solving cases from the regular to the extreme, he must figure out if the links are real and if he can go back to the real human world. At the same time, he soon questions if he wants to, while his friends and family beg him to wake up.

Detective Conan belongs to Gosho Aoyama.

Something is causing the pegasi to follow an irresistible urge to hug their ground-bound cousins, leaving Ponyville foundering in a mildly annoying emergency. Twilight Sparkle ventures into the no-more-dangerous-than-usual town in a desperate attempt to solve the cutesy crisis and finally get her study time back.

Hey guys, the story is back on. Progress is halted, though. Go read the blog post.

The Ponyville Mayoral Election is coming up, and Twilight is excited to root for Mayor Mare alongside her friends. That is, until she discovers that in Ponyville stallions are not allowed to vote. Twilight quickly gets mixed up with the Ponyville civil rights movement, but when the time comes, will she stand against her friends?

Seriously, a lot.

Ponies get older over time. They slow down. This is a part of life. But Rarity, Twilight, Applejack, Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie can keep pursuing their dreams as they get older. Rainbow Dash can't. This is her last chance to be a Wonderbolt, and despite working her tail off, she's not getting any better. In fact, she's getting slower. She just wants things to be fair. She wants one last chance to achieve her dream.

She wants to be faster.

This is what happens when she gets her wish.

A three part story.

She’s the loyalest of friends and most dependable of ponies; how could anypony not fall in love with Applejack? In fact, so much of the town has found themselves under her seductive spell, they’ve formed a secret society to help each other cope with their unbridled lust. Operating in seclusion, this group has been an unseen staple of Ponyville. Surely, though, nothing good can come of the mare herself discovering the existence of Applejack Anonymous.

Applejack is tired of Diamond Tiara bullying her sister, so she decides to take matters into her own hooves.

Sadly, things don't go according to plan.
