Marriage is the hardest thing Carrot Cake has ever done, second only to being a father to his two foals.

Woken by a chill and finding himself quite bereft of blankets, he finds himself pondering the canyon that has appeared between he and his wife.

A short story about waiting, hay fries, and the dangers of space and silence in matters of the heart.

Takes place in the background of "Twilight Time".

Spike swallowed the enchanted book that allowed any pony to conjure up whatever they thought of. Now it's in the depths of his stomach, where he thought it would be safe. He was wrong. Very wrong. The book's magic is doing its work on him now, only it's not his mind that it's drawing inspiration from. It's his heart.

Every afternoon, at four o'clock exactly, Princess Celestia sits down in her garden to a pot of tea and a plate of cake.

Every afternoon. Without fail.

Except for that fateful day, when she is given... jam and bread. While unexpected, maybe this isn't entirely unwelcome.

Everypony knows Twilight Sparkle as the sweet, studious unicorn whose magic powers are matched only by her incredible focus and organizational skills. When Twilight's friends make fun of the way her checklists and schedules control her life, Twilight just laughs.

One day, for reasons known only to her, Twilight goes on an unstoppable organizing rampage. Soon, Rarity decides that she's had enough, and tries to stop Twilight before she organizes Carousel Boutique into oblivion.

Twilight Sparkle is very, very organized. Twilight Sparkle has never told anypony why she's so organized. Until now.

Twilight Sparkle loves being a librarian. She gets to spend all day surrounded by her favorite things in the world—books—and best of all, nopony ruins it by trying to talk to her (or at least if they do, they have to be quiet about it).

But when the new head of the Equestrian Library Association gives her an ultimatum, Twilight's future as Ponyville's librarian will hinge on her ability to face the most horrifying creatures she's ever had to deal with:

No, not her new boss (who's clearly up to no good). Not the cult of the Dark God Cacophonon. Not even the strange book that won't. Stop. Staring. Worse than all that.

Library Patrons.

In a freak accident from the Cloudsdale weather control team, Twilight is struck down by an errant lightning bolt. But the veil of death is relatively thin...

It's Hearth's Warming time in Equestria, and Spike is writing Santa Hooves, like any other year. But after running into Derpy and Dinky Hooves on his annual window shopping trip, Spike has forfeited his wishlist in favor of one simple request. For the first time, it isn't for himself.

This story is a sequel to Buck that! Bleep this.

Sometimes, the most tempting thing is to just let it all go. And stamp everything.

In response to threats of a griffon attack on Equestria, Twilight responds with a letter detailing just why such actions would prove unfavorable for them.
