Gallus has everything, a home, a new life within Equestria, and a chance to prove himself as the royal Captain of Twilight's guard, but what makes him feel so unsure? Why does he feel like a monster?

Hearth's Warming Eve is here once again, and rather than missing their families two years in a row, Gallus all but demanded his friends return home for the holidays. Deciding that the School of Friendship's dorm was more comfortable than the Griffonstone halfway house, he elected to simply remain in Ponyville, brood a bit, and pointedly try to ignore the happy chorus outside.

But then Sandbar just had to go and ruin it by being the great friend that he is.

Gallus is really, truly unenthused about his latest assigned reading. Some lame romance by a long-dead author is good for pretty much one thing and one thing only: putting you to sleep. Sandbar decides to change his mind.

Shameless Gallbar fluff.

This story is a sequel to Where Did Sandbar Send The Flowers?

A few days ago, Sandbar and Gallus decided to try to get closer. Quite a bit closer. Yona and Silverstream found that adorable and decided to help them out in any way they can. The way they came up with was by going to the restaurant and spying on their first date.

What in the name of all probability could go wrong?!

So yeah, Gallus was happy enough he supposed. Had a great boyfriend, and actual friends. Life was good.

...except for ongoing debates on if being gay should be allowed. Stallions were a precious thing, and well mares outnumbered them ten to one. So what did that make a stallion wanting to date another guy? Gallus, faced with the potential ending of his relationship, worries and then he speaks out. Loudly, in fact.

Sandbar and Gallus have been dating for a while, Smolder and Ocellus too. Only they know about each other's relationships. Of course, they would tell Silverstream and Yona, but Silver has a bit of a habit of accidentally revealing secrets and Yona has the tendency to blurt things out. Then, all that changes when a couple of mares find out. Now, the four friends must decide how to come out to their friends, families, and everyone in-between.

Warning: contains gayness, cuddles, and M/M and W/W. If you are not comfortable with these things don't read on.

He forgot that he doesn't have thumbs.

Sandbar can't resist the distraction of a soft tail swishing across his desk on a slow day in class. The harmless curiosity leads to a new complication in his relationship with Gallus.

After enjoying an extended weekend, Gallus is up to his old habits. After receiving a failing mark on a test that Sandbar passed, Gallus grows jealous and stuffs the pony into a trash can. This act of bullying gets Gallus expelled...or does it?

Teen rating for "rape" being mentioned.

Every year Gallus feels a weight in his chest during Hearths Warming-or Bluemoon Festival. His second Hearths Warming Eve at Headmare Twilight's School of Friendship, Gallus is left all alone. Sandbar, the only one left, has noticed. He tries to help, and gets more than he expected.

The "sad" tag is added because every time I hear Gallus talk about his life I want to cry for him.
