Winter time brings about the frigid cold and, in Ponyville, this may be the coldest winter in a long time. Bright Sight is Ponyville's newest resident and he aims to settle down in the small town while concealing his biggest secret. Big Mac finds himself with a lot of downtime after the harvest season had just ended. Both stallions find friendship in each other and, perhaps, in time, it may grow into something even stronger, something that makes even the most freezing winter warm.

Apple Bloom gets out of school for the day only to be disappointed by the fact that Big Macintosh's boyfriend, Caramel, is yet again not with her brother to pick her up. Three days prior, an incident occurred at that same schoolhouse that led to Caramel shutting himself in his home. While trying to understand why, Big Macintosh finds it best to explain to Apple Bloom that some ponies are simply against the idea of the two dating. Some ponies, such as Caramel, find it hard to simply shake off the words of others. Regardless, she tries her best to understand.

Once again, King Sombra has returned from the depths of defeat. Unfortunately for him he's been stripped of all his powers and been put under the charge of Spike the dragon. To complicate matters, Sombra discovers he and Spike are both part of something that started in a time before the alicorns, Discord, or even ponies in general.

Join the unlikely pair as they share in a series of trials and adventures that will put both of them to the test, and inevitably draw them closer together.

The story takes place fifteen years after the Tirek incident, making each character significantly older than in the show's current timeline.

A M/M story that's been rattling around in my head for some time now.

*Update* 12/4/2015 new cover art.

When winter's thaw comes at last, we all learn to move with the tide of the melted snow. We learn to continue our lives from what we once had before time had stopped the best that we can. For better or for worse, we follow the flowing water wherever it might take us.

Following the events of "Melting Snow", Caramel and Big Macintosh continue to explore the depths of their relationship, the two growing closer with each passing day. The days feel short, spring approaching as the seeds of the apple fields are planted one by one, roots sprouting as they firmly plant themselves comfortably into the new soil, ready to sprout and explore the world.

Rumble wants to reveal his feelings to his crush...there's only one problem, he has absolutely NO idea of how to do it. His best friend, Twist (otherwise known as twistaloo) advises him to be honest...but can such a simple and foolproof plan work?

The answer? Perhaps...

Three things I need to point out. The first is that this story is currently unedited. If you are interested in editing, please PM me so we can talk.

The second is that while this story takes place in the universe of Mr. Disc, and taken place a year after "The Curiosity of Mr. Disc," this is not part of the Mr. Disc series. In fact, Julius Disc is actually a side character.

And the third thing that you need to know is that this story does contain both F/F shipping (Lyra x Bon Bon) as well as M/M shipping (Soarin x Braeburn).

To sum it up, if you don't like one or a combination of these, you know where the exit button is.

Taken place about a year after the events that unfolded in "The Curiosity of Mr. Disc," a new teacher arrives at CHS. A Violinist returns teaching after the death of his spouse. In the coming year, he will get to know four of his students where he will help them with their musical abilities while they help come to terms with his grief.

A special thank you to His Majesty PrinceCelestia for the cover art.

Twilight Sparkle is lonely and is determined to change that.

She’s had her eyes on Rainbow Dash for a while, but she doesn’t know how to truly express her feelings. No books were able to properly explain how to cope with her feelings of love, leaving her frustrated and confused. She has tried dropping subtle hints here and there, but Rainbow is oblivious to her advances and Twilight is too nervous to spill her heart out to her.

So she waits, spending many months devising a way to get Rainbow to see her more than just a good friend. Given a set of perfect circumstances, Twilight is finally able to put her plan into action. Now, Twilight might finally be able to see if she can turn her friendship with Rainbow into something wonderful.

This story is a sequel to Blossoming Roses

It's been nearly a year since Prince Blueblood and Fancy Pants were properly introduced at the Grand Galloping Gala, and to say it's been a big year for both is an understatement. It was no joke just what kind of field day the media got from their ever growing interest surrounding Prince Blueblood's newly arisen homosexuality, and boy-toy is the by far one of the most affectionate terms he's been called lately. At the very least Fancy Pants is supportive and kind, as usual. However it's evident that something has been bothering him lately, and even Blueblood has been having trouble deducing why.

This story is a sequel to A Competition With Two Winners

Concerned about what others may think of their relationship, Rainbow Dash and Applejack try to keep their love a secret. But situations may arise where hiding that love is difficult...

As the Mane Six are called upon once again to deal with threats to Equestria, bonds will be tested and tension will run high. But will the two mare's avoid having to tell the truth? Only time will tell.

Recommended you read the first story to be aware of specific plot points and characters, but it isn't essential. The story will most likely alternate between slice-of-life and adventure arcs throughout, so hope you enjoy!
