It's been a long while since you've come to Equestria. And you've been friends with the one pony many would least expect. But you know deep down, with all the crazy stuff that she deals with in her life, she can have a soft spot.

So, on a rainy day in Maretime Bay, Posey lets you stay the night at her place. Little do you know that scratching her back would change her mood within a matter of seconds.

In the world of humans and ponies, where differences often lead to misunderstandings, Star Flight, a young and ambitious pony attending Florida Atlantic University, grapples with the weight of her past and her struggle with alcoholism. Despite her academic successes, scholarships, and promising job offers, Star Flight hides a deep well of pain and loneliness stemming from the loss of her parents and her lack of close family ties. She turns to alcohol as an escape, seeking solace in its temporary comfort.

Enter Jason, a senior at the same university, studying marketing and hailing from a wealthy family in New York. Despite his own struggles with the shadow of his family's wealth, he provides the unwavering support that Star Flight desperately needs. Their love story transcends species, as Jason's family embraces her, viewing her as 'the one' for their son.

The question that remains is whether or not Jason is too late to save his marefriend.

Your friends in Ponyville were quite shocked when your relationship with Marble Pie became public. They were even more shocked when she moved in with you and immediately became just another member of the community, all without saying a single word. To most of them, it can be hard to have a conversation with her.

To you, it's the easiest thing in the world.

It's been a long while since you've come to Equestria. You've made good friends with Sunny and her six friends so far while everypony else seemed to tolerate you for the most part. But Zipp was always the one pony you hung out with the most.

However, when you and she go down to Maretime Bay's beach and watch the sunset after a long day of chilling in the water, she asks you something that would lead to something you'd never expect.

EDIT: Jesus, I literally just posted this and it's already featured #1!

After washing up on a beach unknown to you, you found yourself in Maretime Bay, a place full of talking, magical ponies. It didn't take long for you to realize that you were in another world, but at least you had some new friends to give you a helping hoof.

Of these ponies, Princess Pipp Petals became particularly interested in you, and you quickly became an inseparable duo. Well, sort of.

You can't say you necessarily expected to end up in a different world, but if you did, you probably would have hoped that your cute alien girlfriend wouldn't be a social media influencer.

Your closest friend, Sunny Starscout, has had a rough week. She seems intent on keeping it that way, but you have a plan. A convoluted plan, perhaps, but a plan nonetheless. It involves smoothies, fireworks, and most importantly, a hug. Your goal?

Her smile and optimism: Restored.

You and Pipp have something special. She just gets you in a way nopony else does, and vice versa.

Bad days are nothing new for the two of you. You've seen worse, and heck, you've braved every storm that came your way together, just as you've always done in the past. Side-by-side.

One glum afternoon at your place, you begin to wonder why. But little did you know that one harmless interaction could lead to more than you would have ever bargained for...

During another bout of insomnia, your friend Izzy Moonbow vows to stay by your side and keep you company. All things considered, she's just being friendly. But why on Earth is she being so affectionate towards you? It's almost as if she's dying to tell you something...

Maybe there's something more to it.

Minimum plot, maximum snuggles.
Contains soft midnight talk and loving cuddles with the mare of your dreams...

Sleep well!

One night, just a few days before Princess Twilight Sparkle's coronation as ruler of Equestria, Prince Alfred summons Princess Luna at the "Castle of The Two Sisters" for a delicate talk with her; this would be the last night he would have lied to her since what she deserves is only the truth.

Part of the "Alfredverse".

Special thanks to Player 4 for helping with a few ideas and concepts for this story.

It is Heartswarming Eve, and filly Twilight Sparkle wants to stay at the empty castle with Princess Celestia, refusing to go home with her parents even after the monarch has sent all the staff back to their families. But why?

Twilight's answer leaves Celestia contemplating all the ways that make the lavender unicorn so special.
