Another day, another skiing trip. Double Diamond now has the blessing of having a friend accompany him on his outings. On the other hoof, he finds it strange that Party Favor goes with him more often than Sugar Belle or Night Glider. Something is up with the balloon-making stallion. But what?

Perhaps a little advice from a local specialist might point him in the right direction.

NOTES
1. The story involves season 5 spoilers. Watch the first two episodes before reading this.
2. This is M/M fluff.
3. Double Favor for the win.
4. I'll add in the character tags if/when Double Diamond and Party Favor get any.
5. Made the Popular Stories list.

The spotlight's burning glare and vibrating roaring crowds fade on the famous vice-captain's ears as the Autumn tour for Equestria's famous Wonderbolts comes to a dramatic close with a turnout of fans bigger than they've had all season. Soarin is finally ready to relax for a change. Drink a few glasses of cider, fly around freely, and spend time with his very special somepony, who he hasn't seen in quite some time.

That was before said somepony decided to drop in unexpected at his final show.

(Rated T for sexual suggestions and stallions being sexy.

Pinkie has feeling for Applejack, or maybe she doesn't. And Applejack has feelings back, probably. But how can two ponies figure it out without risking their friendship? A strange scene on the farm, followed by a frank discussion at Sugarcube Corner provides the catalyst for them to explore their feelings before committing themselves one way or another.

Bad Horse made me do it.

Twist is an awkward sweetheart who's biggest dream is to make everypony smile with sweetness. Silver Spoon is a spoiled debutante who doesn't know that cinnamon can be more than your average spice if you get to know it. These two slowly become friends and develop a relationship that changes them over the years. I hope enjoy! UPDATES Mondays 2/18/2013 This story will now update every two weeks. I have gotten my life together so I can handle a weekly update schedule. Switching to Monday updates as it seems Saturdays are a bit too hectic for me to do quality checked updates. I am having far too many errors in my chapters.

[My first attempt to write some romance. Please, don't be too strict to me.]

Relationships between Twilight and Trixie always were terribly hostile. When Trixie says too much, Twilight hits her in public, and leaves her alone. Only now Trixie understands, that Twilight means something for her. A simple apology wouldn't help the situation. Or would it?

Trixie decided to give it a shot. For the good's sake.

[Yes, this is anthro story. Even despite the story picture ]

Diamond Tiara is under a lot of stress.

Her father wants her to one day succeed him as the CEO of Barnyard Bargains but every decision she makes as Assistant Manager seems to disappoint him. Between spending her days at school and her nights at work, she has no time for studying and her grades are starting to suffer. And with only a few more months until graduation, she's running out of time to catch up.

But even when it feels like nothing is going her way, she can at least find comfort in the arms of the one she loves.

One is a pegasus who sees things nopony else can see. The other is an abrasive, competitive showmare. Can love help these two ponies overcome their differences and face the difficulties of the road ahead? Nope!

Sometimes the open road throws the least likely companions together. Sometimes, the last person you would expect can become your strongest friend. And sometimes they just drive you insane.

This is a companion piece to Split Eyes. You should be able to read these two in either order.

See what this person has to say about this.
And also what this person says.

Pinkie wakes up sick one morning, which is just about the worst thing she can think of!

But Fluttershy will be there to make things better. Things are always better with Fluttershy around.

Also, check out the artist's deviantArt gallery! His pony stuff is all adorable, and I just went on a massive upvote spree of all his pictures on Derpibooru. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to see a doctor. I think my heart has melted from all the cuteness.
