Once again, Anon, Twilight and Rarity are all single on Hearts and Hooves Day.

They've learned to make the best of it.

A Hearts and Hands Week bonus story!

It's Hearthswarming Eve and Gallus has started to really feel the distance that has been building up between him and his friends since he decided to join the Royal Guard. But now, he was invited again to visit, and how could he say no to Smolder?

Anon, presently living with Twilight, is looking a little bit the worse for wear. He seems to be having some difficulty sleeping. More unusually, he seems oddly keen to keep it that way…

A lazy day for Celestia and the human she is for some inexplicable reason shacking up with.

What does that mean?

Means staying in bed! Means cuddling! Snuggling! And -

Oh dear.

Somehow, this also got a reading from Straight To The Point Studios. Not sure how that happened.

Being from a completely different world means often being asked questions about that world. Rainbow asks a question she ends up slightly regretting.

Wait, I got featured? What does that even mean?

Luna has never thought she really deserved her subjects' or her sister's forgiveness. Often, she questioned it, though she kept these thoughts to herself. When the pain of her past and her guilt continually eat away at her, she feels she deserves the pain, but she can only live with it for so long. Luna doesn't believe she should be in Equestria, let alone remain a princess. However, somepony else thinks very differently. If only Luna could see what she sees.

Twilight was having trouble sleeping. You'd think it's because she's feeling ill or maybe going through some mental stress but nah. She's simply hungry, so she bothers Anon about it. Really? Yeah, I know.

Without a lot to do, Alan has let the over-large box from an online order sit around his place for weeks now. Predictably, when he finally gets the energy to do something about it he finds that a pony has moved into it.

Things happen from there. Nothing exciting but, you know, they still happen.

When a man needs a shave in Ponyville, there isn't really anywhere to go. After all, horses don't shave! So, you have no choice but to go to the most stylish pony in town for assistance: Rarity. Lucky for you, she's the helpful type, and is willing to make you look good as new. But at what cost?

Oh, and by the way, thanks for the idea Enigmatic Otaku. I hope you choke on a pineapple.
