What if Discord had not been turned to stone by the Mane 6? What if he had escaped?
It is three years later and the Mane 6 have moved on with their lives, all except Fluttershy, who cannot get the draconequus out of her mind. The others are happy in their new and comfortable lives, until their enemy returns and will only relieve Equestria of his havoc in exchange for a bride.

This has been adapted into an audio series.

Also, here's a dramatic reading by Pablo Didonna, and one by 666HellGirl1

*Bronyland Pony Awards Nominee 2013

The Princesses have invited you to Canterlot to spend some time with them before the big holiday of Hearth's Warming Eve. You have enjoyed your time, but it really is time to be getting back to Ponyville. Then again, what sort of hosts would Celestia and Luna be if they let you, the only human in Equestria, just LEAVE in this cold weather!?

The first story of my December Christmas Carol writing project: this fanfiction is based off of the carol 'Baby, it's Cold Outside!'

EDIT: Now with a Russian Translation (Русский Перевод) by Magyetash!

Anon is adamant that bananas are the best fruit in the universe. Applejack disagrees, for obvious reasons.

Fistfights ensue.

This happens more often than you'd think. It's all in good fun though.

Chrysalis kidnaps Rainbow Dash and holds her for ransom.

This same Rainbow Dash also happens to be engaged to the immensely powerful Alicorn Princess Twilight Sparkle.

Chrysalis is not a very smart changeling.

It has been one year since Starlight Glimmer graduated and ventured out on her own to teach others the friendship lessons she learned as Princess Twilight's personal student. Now, unexpectedly, she's coming back to Ponyville for a visit, and everypony is excited about it. Well, everypony that is, except Spike. But why?

The battle between the mane 6 and the villain trio consisting of: Tirek, Chrysalis, and Cozy Glow. As you all know Chrysalis decides to threaten Spike’s life as a way to get the mane 6 to stand down, but what if one of them didn’t? What would happen?

This story is a sequel to Exit Anon-a-miss. Enter the dragon

After a near death experience that almost claimed his life, and a recent scolding from Sunset Shimmer, Twilight decided it's time she, Spike, and all of their friends had a heart-to-heart talk about their friendship and the actions that says otherwise.

"Applejack?"
"Yes Twi?"
"I found this book outside the Everfree Forest... It seems to be Apple Bloom's diary."
"Mah sis kept a Diary? Does it say what happened to her?"
"...Yes..."

TheLostNarrator did a fantastic reading of this story some time ago; find it here.
Now with a reading in Finnish, courtesy of DubbiKnight.
And a reading by Lotus Moon.

The friends we take for granted are often the ones that leave the largest impact on our lives. When Spike falls seriously ill with a mysterious disease and the ponies strive to nurse him back to health, Twilight Sparkle comes to grips with this very realization about her number one assistant--and friend.

EDIT: So this little story made it on Equestria Daily on 10/8/12. Now please excuse me while I pass out on Rarity's fainting couch while murmuring a soft Fluttershy "...yay."

Twilight Sparkle and Spike are celebrating their first ever Hearth’s Warming in Ponyville. It’s still a working process for Twilight to get use to friendship in a village but Spike on the other hand doesn’t mind at all especially his encounters with other ponies.

Fluttershy out of all the ponies wanted to know Spike since he’s a talking dragon in all. She asked Twilight to take care of Spike on Hearth’s Warming Eve to which Twilight accepted. Spike didn’t understood why but he didn’t have plans whatsoever. When Fluttershy takes him to her place, she not only gives him the support she has towards animals, but also her sweet personal feelings towards him.
