Lyra loves doing things for her friends over the holidays. It takes a toll, though. But she'll get by.

Written for Franso for Jinglemas 2021. CW: This fic contains a very minor amount of indirect self-harm/body horror and some fairly minor bits of gore.

Preread by Lost and Aurora! Thanks!

The holidays are meant to be a time of holly jolly fun, spending time with friends and family, and celebrating the magic of friendship. You usually couldn't pay most ponies to take a work shift on Hearth's Warming. Redheart, of course, loves the Hearth's Warming shift. It's her favorite time of year, and she can spend it with the only friends and family she has: her patients.

But this particular Hearth's Warming might be different.

Written as a gift for applezombi as part of Quill’s and Sofas Speedwriting’s holiday fic exchange! The prompt I received was “Rainbow Dash helps another pony handle grief and loss during the holidays. Romance is strongly encouraged but not required.”
Thanks to The Red Parade for helping me develop the idea, and my friend Mori (who does not have FimFic) for helping me preread before I uploaded it.

It’ll be the first Christmas for Sunset, Trixie, and Adagio, and each of them want to commemorate the event by giving the best gift possible to their partners. Nothing will stand in their way to their objective. Not even the law.

Written for the many times amazing Dewdrops on the Grass as part of Hearthswriting 2021.

Original prompt:

Sunset, Adagio, and Trixie on a holiday date when shenanigans ensue, and they get into some kind of magical trouble involving Hearth's Warming presents.

As always, I kind of went my own way with it.

Thank you to Bicyclette, and daOtterGuy for prereading.

Happy Holiday!

This story is a sequel to Cutie Marks and Broken Wings

Learning how to fly had been the start of Tawny's life: a real one, not the shoebox-sized concrete cage her captor had neatly shoved her into as a filly. But the shoebox had been familiar, if claustrophobic, and safe—a known quantity of hoofsteps and ceiling cracks, unlike the outside world of Equestria.

Learning how to live was proving to be infinitely more complicated.

Fourth place in the of the Quills and Sofas Speedwriting 'Expanding Universes II' contest. Each entrant was tasked with expanding the universe established in another author's story—my prompt story was Holtinater's Cutie Marks and Broken Wings .

Sunny Starscout has set out on the path of reunifying Equestria. She's found a circle of friends, showed the tribes that they can co-exist, and even restored magic to the land.

Yet, there are questions that remained unanswered. What led to the breaking of the tribes in the first place? How did things go so very wrong? And just what is the best path forward in undoing centuries upon centuries of damage?

Sunny seeks the answers from those who came before, but has failed to consider the age-old adage; be careful what questions you ask...

...because you may not like the answers.

Friendship was power, and power gave me control. I decided where I went, decided what I did, decided how to live. I told myself I'd never lose control, that I'd never be trapped. All of Equestria would bow to me.

I won't be trapped.

Not again.
