Sweet Spinner is a freewheeling, devil-may-care kind of mare. She lives by her own rules. She does what she wants. And her latest attempt to find a place to stay for the night might just be the worst idea she ever had.

It's stupid o'clock in the morning.

There's a batpony eating cereal in the kitchen.

Ain't no Twilight got time for that.

It is winter time once again in Equestria. Foals are playing in the snow, and the magic of Hearth's Warming is in the air. But, there was a time when ponies tried to do away with winter...

A young girl, having been robbed of her childhood and very life by illness finds herself given a second chance in a strange world and with an even stranger body. With a new life, family, and even a brother, she tries to cope with the bizarre world she's found herself in while also trying to embrace her role and become worthy of the gift she has been given.
Being a princess can be hard however, even if it's only an honorary title, especially when you're the twin sister of Prince Blueblood.

Warning, very slow burn.

"You cannot die unless your patron does."
The answer to the first question Twilight asked when she formally became the princess of magic. Billions of years later, she regrets not thinking this through.

The mane six take shelter in a place that is, for now, safe from a disaster occurring outside.

This gruesome tale of violence and death is not recommended for colts, fillies, or the faint of heart.

This story is a sequel to Guardian Halo

So much chaos, so much death. Equestria is in turmoil, and Starswirl is in despair. How could he have ever thought that he would end it? Why did he ever think he could make a difference?

Ponyville is a lovely little place. Despite its loveliness, I have always been rather lonely.

That is, until you moved to town.

I think this could be the start of something beautiful, don't you?

.. wha? – Luzz

Well, that started off weird, then got creepy and then...I approve. - Admiral Biscuit

A bit unsettling, sure, but too vague for me. – Spectral

This was decent. It could have been more subtle/mysterious in places to make it creepier. - jeray2000

Splendid story. Came here on a recommendation and certainly wasn't disappointed. – Orbiting Kettle

I really loved this. It got way darker than I was expecting. Loved the slow buildup. When I finally realized who it was about, my heart sunk. - Protopony350

Grey walls? Check. Doors that only go in? Check. Inexplicable sewing paraphernalia? Check.

Discord's been through worse. He spent a thousand years trapped in stone. There's no way this little setback is going to get to him.
