Sunset is a roving part-timer, and Adagio sings on Whotube for tips. The pair are never more than a month from eviction, so when a shady party center offers Sunset a holiday bonus to work Christmas Eve it’s both too good to refuse… and too good to be true.

Twilight is a little stressed this holiday season. All due to a certain book, she is receiving complaints and threats to destroy Ponyville along with knowing who made this book. Not to mention the way. She is also preparing for a festival in Ponyville.

So why Spike, why are you demanding that she read that book? And why are you throwing more fuel onto the fire?

Hearth’s Warming Eve is a time of giving and receiving. One gift every foal receives from their dam and sire is their heritage. On this day of all days, a filly discovers that heritage can have many meanings, and that both the past and future can be presents, even when they can sometimes feel more like a curse!

A Hearth’s Warming Eve story written for BadDragon for Jinglemas 2023

On Hearth's Warming Day, Tartarus is not a fun place to be. Holiday joy does not permeate Equestria's most notorious prison. The same drudgery and boredom that plagues its inmates every other day of the year doesn't let up for Hearth's Warming.

Cozy Glow, one of Tartarus's occupants, expected the day to be spent plotting her escape and ascension to Equestria's throne with her 'friend' Lord Tirek. It's how every other day since her arrival has played out, so why not today?

Instead, a mysterious unicorn with a broken horn appears from nowhere. She's here to take Cozy Glow on holiday parole, for a 'proper' Hearth's Warming celebration.

But neither Cozy nor her custodian are what they seem.

A mix of strange circumstances means that Gilda and Gallus are not spending the holidays in Griffonstone
"enjoying," or rather surviving, the Blue Moon Festival. Instead, they are in Equestria for Hearth's Warming. Can Gilda put her griffon grump aside to enjoy a more wholesome holiday? Maybe she can with Gallus's help.

The holidays are usually a huge event for the Apples, but sometimes things can slip between the cracks, and even at the best of times, the worst of times can do their best to sabotage things. But for those with a loving family, even that can't stop the simple enjoyment of each other's company.
