Princess Twilight Sparkle took the Equestrian throne several years ago. Anon, her human friend, works at the castle as an advisor for her. However, lately he has been disappearing right after work, and Twilight is curious as to why. On top of that, he isn't the only one acting strangely, as her mom has been acting very dodgy around her too. Twilight has some suspicions as to why this is.

Twilight and Shining visit their parents' home for the holidays.
They have worked very hard all year to be on the Nice list.
But back together again under the same roof for Hearth's Warming night...

Written for tailsopony for Jinglemas 2023

Twilight Velvet loves her daughter with all her heart; she outshines her in every way, is the prized student of Princess Celestia, and will no doubt go on to have an impact on Equestria the likes of which has never been seen before and never will be again. But despite Twilight Velvet's pride and love for Twilight Sparkle, somber thoughts weigh heavily on her mind when her daughter comes to visit.

Why does Velvet feel so inadequate? Why can't she be to her daughter what Princess Celestia is to her? What is the measure of a mother?

Set prior to Season 1. Celestia doesn't physically appear but is mentioned extensively.

Twilight Velvet has big news and she wants her daughter to be a part of it. Unfortunately, Twilight doesn't take it well. In fact, she takes it horribly

When Twilight Velvet went into labor with her son Shining Armor, it was two and a half months too soon. Her husband began to pick up ten hour shifts at work to try and pay the hospital bills. After being in the NICU for a long time, Shining was at last declared well enough to go home, but still needed tubes to help him eat and breathe. Twilight Velvet stays with him day and night, never leaving home.

But she knows that someday, they'll both be on the other side of the window.

Rated T for mentions of breastfeeding.

It's the Christmas season, and Night Light surprises his kids by taking them to a place where they can see the best Christmas light displays in the world.

Private Night Light of the EUP Royal Guard (Canterlot City Patrol) is working his way through accounting school by polishing armor and making sure nobody steals any buildings. And then a hyper-confident, fearless unicorn about his age shows up at his barracks, talking about a conspiracy to steal an artifact from the Canterlot Museum of Antiquities.

What follows is a series of high places, tight spaces, double-crosses, and discussions of the vital role of accounting in public life.... all taking place over twenty years before six particular ponies began saving the world on a regular basis.

Twilight Velvet was the best mother that she knew... but how can you be a mother without foals?

In short... she's driving herself crazy and dragging her husband with her... but he has a plan to make things right... for both of them.

Special thanks to CloudyGlow for the cover art.

Let me start this letter by saying: I love you. I know, I know. It’s probably the corniest statement in all of Equestria, but what can I say? It’s true.

Remember the first time we met? When I got my cutie mark? Your fourteenth birthday? Our final year project? All those good times we spent together strengthened our friendship.

But perhaps it’s time for something more? Twilight Velvet, would you like to be my girlfriend?
