happy literal last minutes of Pride Month!

Perignon owns a wine shop. It's simple, it's straightforward, it's what he's good at and it's all he needs. He doesn't need nonsense from Hearth's Warming in any form. In fact, anyone trying to deliver said nonsense quickly earns a shoulder colder than the blizzard sweeping through town. Everyone would be better off if they shut up and treated reality like it is: cold and heartless.

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.

A star is born, in more ways than one, when Star Bright proves to Princess Luna that a new star type can exist. After being awarded the Gold Medal of the Canterlot Astronomical Society, the astrophysicist finds himself thrust into the national spotlight, pulling his husband in with him.

Silver Script, an aspiring author, wants to help him anyway he can, including writing his speech. As his efforts get turned down by the speechwriters of Canterlot Castle, however, he begins to fear that his husband's groundbreaking research may be breaking the ground between their relationship, as well.

(This is a complete story, but I will be updating each chapter every Saturday.)

Hearth's Warming Eve is here once again, and rather than missing their families two years in a row, Gallus all but demanded his friends return home for the holidays. Deciding that the School of Friendship's dorm was more comfortable than the Griffonstone halfway house, he elected to simply remain in Ponyville, brood a bit, and pointedly try to ignore the happy chorus outside.

But then Sandbar just had to go and ruin it by being the great friend that he is.

This was written for str8aura as a part of Jinglemas 2020! For more information about Jinglemas, checkout our group!

Pony Joe returns to Sweet Apple Acres. This time, he's attending a wedding.

An experiment in a different writing style that I threw together in just a few hours. Written purely for the sake of trying things out. Constructive criticism welcome.

Inspired by a contest prompt I ended up not being able to utilize in time for said contest and a song I'd forgotten about until recently.

Years later, I watched a shooting star pass over the place where we used to live, stars blinking in and out like distant, tiny lights. What were the chances?

“What are the chances?”

“Chances of what?”

“That I’d fall for you.”
