In just 12 hours, Silverstream will depart for the holidays, leaving Gallus alone at the Academy. Despite her pleas, Gallus refuses to follow or even tell her why. That is, until a special pony arrives that night to his dorm room and poses two simple questions: why did they come to the Friendship Academy? And if the answer is to make friends then...

Why?

Gallus the griffin nearly sabotaged his friends’ opportunity to return home to their families for the holidays due to his own lack of one. Though his friends opted to stay in Ponyville with him, Sandbar recognized that this was only a temporary fix for a more permanent problem. On the morning of Hearth's Warming, Sandbar gives Gallus a present that he hopes will make his Hearth's Warming, as well as the rest of his life, the best it can possibly be.

Written because I wanted to write a Hearth’s Warming story that wasn’t so much in the same vein as Die Hard like Lion Hearted was. Plus, I’m planning another story involving the Young Six in the near future and I thought this story would be a good way to dip my toes in with them, so to speak. Happy holidays, everyone!

A month after Gallus' attempt to delay the other students from leaving instead of just telling them his problem, Fluttershy decides to hold a special session on sharing your feelings with your friends. What follows is a series of confessions and discussions by the students about the things that bother them.

This is me experimenting with Slice of Life and Drama, which I've always felt was a place I needed practice. This idea went through my head after watching The Hearth's Warming Club, and I finally decided to sit down and write it so y'all would have something for the Hearth's Warming season, AND because there's not enough of the Young Six, who have become some of my favorite characters in the show.

Trigger Warning: May Contain Feels.

As this story hit 100 likes in 3 days, a sequel is now being planned.

During their first week at the School Of Friendship, the students decided to skip class on Friends and Family day. After getting off to a rocky start, they soon begin to open up to each other and truly become friends.

This is based off of the scene we never got to see with the Young Six after they left the school and went to the lake.

Ever since the day I've lost them, I vowed to keep this to myself forever. This secret shall be mine to guard, and mine alone.

But one little event messed everything up, and now the only creatures I can call my family knows everything about my past.

What they didn't know is that I didn't lie to them, but neither was I being completely honest.

This is just an experiment on one of my newly found OTPs and after I saw the incredibly heart-crushing past of this little griffon from the newest episode ;w;

(Takes place after "Marks for Effort" for obvious reasons. Proofread by Smity91 on FanFiction.net and proofread and edited by deadpansnarker on FiMFiction.)

Now that some of her best friends and fellow classmates are part of the School of Friendship, Diamond Tiara just has to see it for herself. But Headmare Twilight won't let her enroll, so that leaves only one option.

While sneaking around to learn more about the school, the filly unintentionally gets spotted by Gallus and Smolder, two of the students who attend.

Hoping to make new friends (and keep them from exposing her), Tiara strikes up a conversation and before long the subjects spoken between the three will take interesting and unexpected turns. But will it be enough to keep Gallus and Smolder from telling Twilight?

The Student Six have been through a lot together during their time at Twilight’s School of Friendship. As their final year draws to a close and graduation looms, though, the now older students find themselves facing one last trial.

After a magical mishap transforms them into the opposite sex, they’ll have to figure out a way to turn back before the change becomes permanent... And before the situation drives them all mad.

Twilight wants to open her school to spread friendship between ponies and all the other creatures she has met on her travels. So before the school can open she must send her friends as ambassadors to find creatures who are willing to learn the magic of friendship.

This story takes place during the period of time covered in School Daze when Twilight is planning her school and trying to get EEA approval.

This I know: cold feet and a lousy day at work and hunger can all be solved by cuddling a pony in front of a fireplace.

This story is a sequel to Putin Hacks Equestria

For too long, Ponies have been taking our jobs, getting caught in our jet turbines, and joining ISIS. Okay, so they've only really been doing two of those things, but that's still cause enough for the most powerful man in the world to ban them from the United States! Still, though, what will the democrats in the Senate say? And even more important, how will the alicorn Princesses react to the ban?

And what exactly is going on in Ukraine?

This story is the Spiritual Successor and *technical* sequel to "Putin Hacks Equestria". As before, there is significant political satire (everyone gets roasted equally, don't worry), and fun links in the story to follow.
