It had been an accidental falling-in that had brought them together. Sort of together. Velvet's divorce, Sunset's break-up... it was an awkward thing to know that failure of a relationship had helped them bond. Remaining in the only city they'd ever been able to call home, perhaps it was inevitable that their sorrow should not be endured alone.

But now comes their first Christmas. And tonight's date night is more intimate than before. All it would take is a single moment for the sparks to truly fly.

Part Two of my 2023 Christmas Special. Enjoy!

All it takes is one little thing, and your whole life can be turned upside down,

You can plan, you can dream, but there are some things you will never be prepared for. They'll come from nowhere and blindside you, leave your head spinning.

When disaster strikes, Blossomforth comes to learn this truth. She winds up in the care of Nurse Redheart at the Ponyville Hospital, and it seems like her life might never be the same.

But just because something terrible happens doesn't mean your life is over. Not everything unexpected is so bad. Because after all, all it takes - is one little thing.

AKA Chrysalis vs The Rolled-up Newspaper of Harmony

AKA How To Unalone Yourself At Hearth’s Warming

Chrysalis has been inexplicably spared the wrath of Discord and the Princesses, although frankly, she'd really rather have preferred the stone! Now burdened with an awful, dreadful, wicked curse that... gah, fills her with love and joy any time she tries to think a vengeful thought! And worse! Now she's been roped into pretending to be Applejack of all ponies on some errand to the middle of nowhere with a filly named Diamond Tiara and some lovely wretched mare named Cherry Jubilee.

Not that she'll fail at all in this. Anything worth doing is worth overdoing.

Plus, it beats getting lost in the woods in winter.

Written for Camaleao for Jinglemas 2023!

Co-written with SoloBrony. Thanks for helping me out, man.

Chrysalis failed to embody the princess of love and control a good part of Equestria, and during her revenge monologue, she finds a little pony with a cruel story that even the queen could not believe.

The sequel of the story can be read here A Spark of Hope, written by Prismfire , I know you will love it as much as this one.

Luna was tired of always being pushed around. Forgotten. Cast aside. Abandoned.
Now, she's hit her breaking point. With a dark spell brewing at her horn tip and Celestia's grip on her broken, she's ready to show all of Equestria what it truly means to be The Princess of the Night.

Celestia, never in all her life, dreamt that she'd stand opposite her sister in a fight. The two of them had defended Equestria many times together, yet now Celestia stood alone. Her sister wanted to kill her, but she couldn't bring herself to harm Luna. She had to find some way to stop her, but she was running short on time and ideas.

All it would take is one little mistake, and Equestria would never be the same again...

Featured: 11/14/23 - Thx!

Chrysalis and Cadance have been engaged in a battle of wills against each other for longer than either can remember, but little do they know they're both fighting for the same reasons.

Thank you to Red Parade and Seer for pre-reading and editing.
Written for Seer. Thank you for inspiring me to try crazy new ideas. You inspire me and bring me joy!

The opening titles of MLP have always felt like they were from a different version of the show. This is that version...

Fed up with being useless at magic, a blank-flanked Twilight Sparkle does the only thing she feels she can do... she runs away. Fortunately, she has a good friend along for the ride...

Now has a sequel: Nightwaker, which presents the return of Nightmare Moon in this timeline.

Featured 10/16-10/19/2018 -- thanks, everypony, for your kind support and feedback on this version of the pilot story!

This story is a sequel to What do Nightmares dream of?

Nightmare Moon is caught in Celestia’s bedroom, where she is confronted by the two princesses and opens up completely to them.
She tells them that she has changed, and her feelings are the complete opposite to what they used to be. Especially her feelings towards the Princess of the Sun.

Nightmare Moon has spent years of accumulating enough magic for herself to materialize after her defeat by the Element Bearers. She is separate from Luna. Her own being. She does not want eternal night anymore, having realized it would doom Equestria.
She can only think of the Sun. Of how dear is the Sun for her actually. She wouldn't take it from the skies... Everything needs her.
Even dark creatures as herself.

EDIT: Wow. Featured. I didn't expect that. You guys are wonderful. There will DEFINITELY be a sequel to this now.

Queen Chrysalis deemed her latest plan to be impeccable. No longer would she resign herself to the slow and meager amounts of love she got from reconnaissance, infiltrations, and abductions; no, to acquire love—vast quantities of love—she needed to masquerade as something universally adored and rather inconspicuous, like perhaps a lollipop?
