35 years ago, Princess Twilight Sparkle along with her companion Spike saved the Crystal Empire from Sobra’s return; or at least that’s what every pony thinks, including Buck Saphire, just an ordinary police officer trying to make it through the holidays. That is until he stumbled into Ruby Study, a quirky mare who is on a mission; a mission that may change reality itself. Could this be the last Hearth’s Warming ever?

Cover by Mist

Flurry Heart, like everyone else in the Crystal Empire, knows that along with the Hearth's Warming traditions shared with the rest of Equestria, the alicorn known as Kris Kringle, with the special talent to know who's naughty or nice, travels from home to home during Hearth's Warming to hand out presents.
What she needs to know is whether Kris Kringle's mind can be changed.
Thus, she embarks on a quest, sleep depriving herself to prepare for Kringle's arrival. It's that mixture of Hearth's Warming fear and sleep-deprivation that allows Sombra access into her mind to harvest that fear to reform. With Auntie Luna staved off by the wards Flurry Heart set up herself, it's up to her to send Sombra back to whence he came.

Sex tag is there for an innuendo early on. Don't worry, this story's PG-13.

Written for Frazzle2Dazzle for Jinglemas 2022 with the prompt,

Sombra and Flurry Heart, with no romance.

Hope you found this enjoyable, my man. I had more of a blast than I expected writing it. Merry Christmas.

It has been a decade since Twilight Sparkle was crowned sole Princess, and Equestria is at peace.

The Crystal Empire, not so much. King Sombra is apparently unkillable, despite all efforts. He returns several times a year to be destroyed, leaving behind his horn and always swearing vengeance. The jaded Crystal Ponies, some literally jade, have grown used to their tyrant attempting to return. Princess Cadance rules with her husband Shining Armor, while their daughter Flurry Heart excels in school. All is well.

All seems well, until Cadance begins to suspect that something is wrong with her daughter after the latest battle with Sombra. Flurry quite literally walks off a blast of concentrated dark magic. What Cadance discovers will shake her family to the core and upend everything she thought she knew about her daughter.

Flurry Heart is evil. If Cadance cannot save her daughter, she must stop her before it's too late.

To assist her in her duties, Princess Celestia has the ancient bloodline of Inkwells; a role passed down through their family through generations, from mother to daughter, father to son.

And Princess Luna?

Luna has Sunset Shimmer.

Special thanks to my lovely beta readers Sadie, Chloe, and Josie for helping me proofread this and beating my inner critic back with a stick. <3

Shining Armor has one task this evening: guard the cookie jar from Flurry Heart. What he didn't anticipate was his daughter getting some very fluffy friends to help in her raid.

Oh hey, this became my first featured fic! Earliest I saw it in the box: November 1st, 2:07 AM.

This is the story of the 3-inch Rainbow Dash plushie abandoned in the wilderness overlooking San Francisco.

Although based off true events, see author's note for more info, this is a work of fiction, exaggerated for dramatic effect, and does not describe any particular person, living or dead. Reader discretion is advised.

Igneous Rock Pie is a young stallion trying to juggle the responsibility of caring for his sick father and keeping his family farm afloat. Cloudy Quartz is a young mare trying to live out her destiny even if it opposes her parents' expectations. They are two very different ponies living under very different circumstances. But at least they both like rocks.

Granny Smith is making sure her grandfoals are okay through these troubled times. She’s keeping everything in apple-pie order for them.

She’s perfectly fine. She’s doing it for them.

It's been a few weeks since the Friendship Games. This world's Twilight Sparkle is struggling to adjust to her new school and her new friends. Sunset sees this, and resolves to help ease Twilight into their group in any way she can.

A late night encounter, a pep talk, and a little bit of whipped cream – all things that seem insignificant on their own – cause Sunset to reflect on how she feels about her new friend and herself. Is she really just trying to be a good friend to Twilight because it's the right thing to do, or do her motives run deeper than even she realizes?

The Fall Formal is over. The bully was beaten, and the strange but beloved pony princess girl then went home. A spontaneous sleepover is about to happen at Sweet Apple Acres, and so Rainbow Dash hitches a ride alongside AJ in Big Mac's truck.  Rainbow tries to process her feelings… as much about the events of that night, as other things. It is not an easy thing for her to do. For one thing, she is (after all) Rainbow Dash. But there's also how amped up Rainbow's feelings are in general, from dancing with friends, to trouncing a villain, to missing a new friend already… plus there are other stray and unsolicited notions. Still, Rainbow does her best to muddle through them all.  Meanwhile, the quiet, vigilant(e) romantic that is Big Macintosh is the one behind the wheel…
