Hearth's Warming is a time of giving thanks.

Even when the entity we're giving thanks to might not be the sort other folks think deserves it.

But Luna's wise enough to love her enemies. Or, at least, acknowledge when debts are due.

This isn't technically part of Jinglemas, but it's dedicated to the ever lovely Flutterpriest nonetheless. As soon as he told me that he wasn't joining the jinglemas collab as a participant, I decided that he was going to get a fic anyway, because he deserves it.

He gave me a heck of a tough nut to crack, character-wise, but I hope I did okay with it.

Rumors of a dark cult on the rise are circulating around Equestria. As Princess, Twilight Sparkle has no choice but to investigate this potentially dangerous development.

When she finds that the cult is worshiping her as a divine figure, things become more uncomfortable.

So Twilight falls back to her safe answer: consulting with Celestia for advice.

Unfortunately, Celestia's answers are not what Twilight expected.

(Takes place immediately following "Crusaders of the Lost Mark". Proofread and edited by deadpansnarker. Featured on 4/15/2022.)

Diamond Tiara has become a new pony, a much nicer one at that. And she's ready to make amends with those she's previously wronged, no matter who they might be.

However, the very first pony she has to apologize to is none other than Silver Spoon. And that's a bit of a problem because Silver isn't entirely sure Diamond's change of heart is sincere.

Diamond desperately wants to reclaim the friendship she once had, and desperately wants Silver to believe that she's changed. But can she find the right words? And more importantly, will they be enough to convince Silver?

On her birthday, Pipp has a stream and a shower but not at the same time. She probably had a cake too but I ate up too many words to write about that so just pretend.

Written for One Thousand Words because I noticed it was there. And they mean one thousand words, not "about one thousand words if we assume one word is five-six letters".

Twilight Sparkle goes for a walk and is greeted by a monster who asks to eat her.

Perhaps she should let it do so.

Check out a reading of this story by Pony&Wolf here!

After a long, tiring day of being a Wonderbolts, Rainbow Dash returns home, she lays in her bed and the next day she became her pet tortious, Tank!

It's been nine years since Twilight's ascension, and her relationship with her friends has never been stronger. While many things have changed about their respective lives, Twilight and her friends remain very close.

Unfortunately, their heroism will need to be called upon again, but this time, they may not be enough. The Nightmare Moon Incident had one more complication, one final loose end. One pony, thought forever lost to the passage of time, returns. And she will have her mother free... or die trying.

Now featured on Equestria Daily! Eeyup

Sable Gale, an upcoming racer wins her first race in Cloudsdale. Rainbow Dash, impressed by her skills, asks her to join the Wonderbolt Academy. Sable refuses and Rainbow is dumbfounded. Words are said and start a chain of events that lead the young Sable Gale to better her life and learn a valuable lesson. And shows Rainbow that some ponies need a little boost to realize their dreams.

A story about hard decisions, forgiveness, and doing what's right for someone in need.

Warning, there will be lots of feels.
