Celestia's morning has been difficult enough, between hearing Twilight's confession of love, and then breaking her heart as gently as possible. Mere moments later, her private chambers are rocked by the shockwaves of a time-traveling spell. This marks the arrival of Celestia's alleged lover from five thousand years in the future, Princess Twilight Sparkle—or as she insists on Celestia referring to her, Glitter-Flanks.

Armed with thousands of years of knowledge of which buttons to push and how to make her squirm, Glitter-Flanks has traveled back to this date for one singular purpose: to establish the closed time loop that sets the two of them up as a couple.

Spike has his own room, now. Unfortunately, this is not something Twilight is used to... and soon, it leads to a very tense and awkward moment that the two of them have to work through.

...

Rated T because this is not a clopfic. Surprisingly.

Peachy Pie doesn't have a very special somepony for Hearts and Hooves Day. Sunny Daze helps her look. But what does Peachy Pie expect from a very special somepony? And which pony could be her match?

These two fillies are not OCs, but background ponies. Their biggest role was in The Show Stoppers, where they won the prize for best dramatic performance by reciting their favourite poem on roller skates. None of Peachy's potential suitors are OCs either. You can find them all in Friendship is Magic if you look hard enough.

I am Cold, swirling snow that turns ponies against each other, searing ice that freezes them solid. I am Survivor, the one the Friendfyre spell didn't catch, an exception that proves an impossible rule. I am Fear, Frustration, Anger, Hatred, every emotion my Creator has ever felt. I am her Future. I am her Past.

I am Demon, and Clover the Clever is my Master.

Love changes relationships, though not to the point where they are no longer recognisable. Twilight loves to go flying with her marefriend, but sometimes... sometimes her marefriend can still be her teacher.

Fluttershy remembers the kisses she'd shared over her lifetime, reflecting on the different circumstances and how she'd grown as a pony.

A long time ago, things were different under the Princesses. While Celestia tried her hardest to keep things running during the day, Luna indulged in her love of fillies all night, and eventually the conflict would cause one sister to be exiled while the other had to carry on alone for a thousand years. Even after the Princess of the Night returned, her sister had to explain to her that times had changed, and her indulgences were unhealthy and unacceptable.

Princess Celestia and Twilight Sparkle have a private meeting during the Royal Nightmare Night Party.

Sweetie Belle has a secret, that even her two friends Apple Bloom and Scootaloo don't know about. She likes to ship ponies. Two ponies in particular.
