Princess Luna, wielding the enchanting power of her dream magic, bestows upon all of Equestria an extraordinary Hearth's Warming gift.

Part of Serina's Hearth's Warming Eve Collection for 2023.

Inspiration (One of my favorite Classic Christmas Cartoons!)

In the darkness, exhausted and under a torrential storm, Fiddlesticks comes across an inn in the middle of nowhere. Hesitantly, she enters, not expecting the hearty welcome of a mare named Sunset Shimmer. Thus begins a long night, between spurts of talking, drinking, feeling, and thinking.

Loosely inspired by the Lackadaisy pilot after it came out, particularly the opening scene.

This story is a sequel to Nicholas & The Crystal Star

A collections of moments in the life of Nicholas, Applejack, and those around him. Some chapters might give a hint to where in the timeline we are, but mostly it will be left up in the air.

These are just meant to be easy, cozy, and slice of their life.

“I actually feel really sorry for you.”

What if those words actually meant something to Opaline? What if the love of a daughter was able to break through her mother’s icy cold heart? With all of Equestria on the line, Misty is forced to confront Opaline in Zephyr Heights, and reveal the truth of her allegiances with the ponies. But one key sentence might be the difference between condemnation and redemption….

Seeking refuge from a sudden rainstorm in Maretime Bay one Nightmare Night, Hitch, Zipp and Sparky flee to Hitch's home to dry off. As Sparky slumbers, Hitch and Zipp decide to sit on the couch and watch some Nightmare Night movies, enjoying the spooky holiday even as the storm rages on outside.

Could a night of popcorn and scary movies evolve into something more?

I wanted to write a fun Nightmare Night short story that featured one of my favorite MLP Gen 5 ships, Hitch x Zipp, so here it is. The [Sex] tag is merely for some implied extracurricular activities.

This story contains: some suggestive content, some Hitch x Zipp shipping, a ponified version of Netflix, Nightmare Night, joking references to horror movies and mlp creepypastas, special effects that represent gore but are clearly just visual effects (so fake gore), an OC from an older fic, and... a vampony!

I know it's December (at the time that I post this story), but hey if Christmas can invade both October and November then turnabout is fair play.

Cover Art created by me.

Opals form from layer upon layer of microscopic silica spheres, the countless reflections brought on from eons of accretion giving impressions of nigh-infinite depth. Because there isn't a single crystal structure, they are more fragile than other gemstones, and can crack due to sudden changes in pressure or temperature.

Opaline Arcana is formed from layer upon layer of mental instabilities, the countless delusions brought on by eons of isolation giving impressions of nigh-infinite evil. And she already cracked a long time ago.

Now that Misty feels comfortable enough to discuss the topic, her new friends will find out just how deep the damage goes.

An ineligible entry for Imposing Sovereigns IV, using the prompt Opaline/Loyalty, set around Chapter 5 of Make Your Mark.
