Fluttershy has the chance of a lifetime: to perform at the palace Hearth's Warming party with her bird chorus. Alas, it is a suit-and-tie event... and that applies to birds as well.

Enter Rarity, to save Hearth's Warming! But as the deadline looms and complications arise, perhaps Fluttershy isn't the one who'll be saved.

This story takes place around the time of the final scene in the show, so we have Big Princess Twilight, everyone getting on in age and are in or just past their primes, etc.

Applejack has chosen to be alone on Hearth’s Warming because she doesn’t have a special somepony to spend it with, and doesn’t want to rub everyone else the wrong way.

Just as she’s about to settle in for a long winter’s nap, Rainbow shows up and they both decide to find solace in each other’s company.

Fine, it may have become a ship-fic at the end.

Happy Hearth’s Warming!

Cover Art is by Death is Death.

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.

It's no secret that Apple Bloom has a complicated history with Diamond Tiara. Frankly, Applejack can't make heads or tails of it.

It's Hearth's Warming Eve, there are pies to be made, and Apple Bloom needs advice.

Written for Ninjadeadbeard for Jinglemas 2021, with the request of Applejack and/or the Apple family. Happy Hearth's Warming!

Starlight thinks that every pony should get to try an omelet at least once.

An entry for Bicyclette's Science Fiction Contest.

"Oh come on, Applejack! Just one trip around the clouds! One!"

It's an invitation that Applejack has heard countless times. However, no matter how often Rainbow Dash bugs her to experience an air ride, the farm filly flat out refuses.

Then one afternoon, on a day when Applejack is strangely quiet and distant, she suddenly agrees to Rainbow Dash's persistent request. The pegasus happily oblidges, not knowing what has truly motivated Applejack to give in, nor the fact that--more than anything--Applejack could really use a good friend right about now.

A seemingly innocent slumber party goes awry when six best friends engage in a game of competitive dares, testing the limits of their friendship, their will, and eventually uncovering the truth about the death of a fellow student. From uncomfortable situations to theft to sexual encounters, the night becomes one debacle after another, and all of it is on video tape.

It's just another normal week of Vinyl Scratch attending school with the most beautiful creature on the the face of the earth.

There can be no higher honor for a soldier in Equestria's service than to become one of the six Holy Knights, and it's Applejack's dream to achieve that honor. Just as her brother has, and her father before her did, and his father before him, and so on, since the very day the Knights were founded.

And on her very first day at the military academy, she gets into a fist fight with the class troublemaker, and it's all downhill from there.
