It was a dark and stormy day when I began the next chapter of my latest book, which was concerning, given that it had been sunny just moments before.

Immortality isn't all it's cracked up to be. Just ask someone who would know. Like... Apple Bloom, for instance.

Written for the February Writeoff - Closing Time

Thorax has been living in the Crystal Empire for some time now and ponies are adjusting to the idea of living with a changeling. One day, on a walk with Sunburst, Thorax learns about the holiday Hearth's Warming and decides that he'll make a gift to show his thanks to the ponies that have made his new life possible - The Royal Family.

This is a collaboration I've been working on with theOwtcast for the past month or so, and is set in something of an AU to their story The Odd One (kind of like the timeline is set up that part of the story coincides with the holiday season). Big thanks to theOwtcast for their contributions, especially the artwork they made to feature in the story. I hope everyone reading this enjoys it, and Happy Holidays/Hearth's Warming!

Pharynx is still coming to terms with all the changes, both to the Hive and to himself. While Thorax leads his people into the bright new future, Pharynx is desperately trying to keep the Hive safe.

Is it so wrong to worry about each and every member of his Hive family even while the rest of the Hive is buzzing over holiday festivities? Especially the one member of his Hive studying abroad at the School of Friendship?

Thank you to ninjadeadbeard for help with the cover art, and daOtterGuy for pre-reading.

Written for CitreneSkys for Jinglemas 2021

After Trixie's huge outburst with Grandpa Gruff, Starlight is considering removing her friend as a potential candidate for Co-Headmare. That is until Gallus enters her office to give her a new perspective on the situation.

I was really curious about what actually happened when Gallus went to talk to Starlight in the episode and I thought I'd take my first shot at writing a fanfic with this scene that we never saw. Feedback is encouraged and appreciated.

Following her first semester at school, Ocellus returns home to the hive.

This story is a sequel to Blue Fang

After the events of Blue Fang, the Fang Gang starts to settle into the new hive. All seems peaceful until a threat arises from the darkness. The Fangs, once a gang of outlaws are now tasked with stopping this threat, not only for the hive, but for all of Equestria.

Excellently done cover art by the talented Hippocratic Oath! Thanks a lot buddy!

Given the circumstances that had found her permanently posed in granite, Chrysalis hardly expected to find herself freed from that state by Starlight Glimmer herself - much less asked for help by her number-one nemesis.

But for Starlight Glimmer and Spike, all other alternatives are exhausted. Something is sickening the changelings: A disease which spreads by no clear vector, no observable cause, and has no known history in their species. If any information or hope of a cure exists, it may very well reside with the mind of their former queen.

But coercing Chrysalis to cooperate for the sake of those she views as traitors will be hard enough, and even if she does, what will the consequences of her information be?

An entry in Imposing Sovereigns III, using the prompt Chrysalis / Perseverance.

Cover art made by Comma Typer, who deserves all credit.

Celestia didn't want very much. She was happy to spend her youth learning how to farm with her adoptive father. She was happy learning how to cook from her adoptive mother. She was happy to play hide and seek with her little sister Luna, and stare at the stars with her on those warm summer nights. But when the world began to freeze with unnatural snow and ice, and the pony tribes began to go for each other's throats, Celestia's world is undone, and all she wants is to protect her little sister, no matter what.

But between ravenous snow spirits, superstitious ponies, and the machinations of those who would use them for their own ends, Celestia will struggle at every corner. Matters only become that much harder when her little sister begins to hear a voice in her dreams, calling her across the frozen wilderness with the only words Celestia remembers her true mother saying.

"Rise and shine."

A special thank you goes out to my editor, Chromio.

It is best to read this story with Night Mode turned on.

Chapter and cover art were all made by me.
