Tootsie Flute leaves for school on Hearts and Hooves day. In her hoof is a hoof-made card addressed to the filly of Tootsie's dreams. She hopes that everything will go right, that Twist will accept her and all her dreams will come true... But what if she's wrong?

(My first fanfic... Heck, my first story period, so tell me what you think. Inspired in part by this clip and this song.

Vinyl lives life to the fullest but wants to know what love is. Octavia got her heart broken and never wants to get close to anyone ever again. How will things play out when Vinyl sets her eyes on Octavia? Will she change Octavia's mind or will someone get in the way?

My name is Lyra Heartstrings and I was accepted, with a full paid musical scholarship, into one of the most prestigious colleges in Equestria: Manehattan University. I am studying to major in classical music alongside my foalhood crush. Sounds great, right? Not really. The mare (yes, mare. I'm a fillyfooler.) is cold towards me, treating me as little more than a nuisance. Has since we were young. And she's straight. But I would do anything to be with her or just to have her like me. Not likely. Why must the universe torment me so?

Meet Pipsqueak.

Pipsqueak, or "Pip" as he prefers to be called, has quite the imagination. There are times when he is a fearsome pirate, scourge of the seas of Equestria. There have also been times when Pipsqueak has fantasized about being a gallant prince, traveling the land, saving fair maidens, slaying wicked beasts, and being hailed as a hero by his peers. Not once did he ever imagine he'd get exactly what he wished for in the form of Princess Luna adopting him, making him an actual prince! Soon enough, Pip learns that being a prince isn't as glamorous as he thought it to be, and that there are more than a few downsides to being a part of the royal family. One in particular downside coming in the form of a nuisance named Blueblood.

On the other side of the coin, Princess Luna must adjust to her newly-found position of motherhood, balancing the task of providing her adopted foal as normal a life as possible for a young prince, while also making sure the nobility and paparazzi keep their hooves out of their business. Fortunately, this mare not only has the entirety of the Royal Guard, including her own Night Guard at her disposal, but her sister and niece also happen to be fiercely protective of the newest member of their family.

Lyra, awaking from a half-remembered dream in the middle of the night, tosses and turns as her head fills with increasingly troubling thoughts.

All that is apparent is that it prominently featured the mare closest to her.

Depressed after only having one pony show up for her Winter Concert, Octavia slumps herself within the holiday season. Not to mention the pony that did show up was her marefriend, Vinyl didn't exactly count as a viewer. Nothing to be merry about, Octavia is likely to spend another Hearth's Warming Eve alone, again. The only problem — Octavia wants to spend it alone. Her stubborn marefriend, Vinyl has other plans in mind as a blizzard hits Canterlot quickly and unexpectedly, sealing both ponies inside her apartment until the weather clears. Hilarity or insanity she doesn't know, but Octavia seems to enjoy spending time with the upstart DJ.

A/N: My first holiday special. Hope you guys take kindly to trying writers! Any criticism is appreciated as long as it's helpful!

Hearth's Warming isn't always cozy. As Lyra waits in Canterlot after stupidly missing her train, she must prove to a certain dark blue princess that she really does love another mare.

For Lyra, life is pretty swell. She has the best fillyfriend anyone could ask for in Bon Bon and she doesn’t need to worry about work or any complicated drama. Overall, she can live her life at her own tempo.

If only things stayed that simple.

Side story to The Life and Times of a Winning Pony and the rest of the Winningverse and approved by Chengar Qordath and Comma Kazie.

When Twilight gets bullied at her school, a filly named Lyra Heartstrings helps her, and they quickly become friends. But when Twilight gets accepted to be Princess Celestia's student, she has to leave her new friend behind

As with any couple, Lyra and Bon Bon experience problems and have disagreements. Be it past marefriends or financial distress, the pair must confide within one another to save both each other, and themselves. Theoretically, love conquers all, but love alone doesn't put bits on the table.
