Yona and Sandbar are happily married, but nasty talk around town about their size difference have Sandbar a bit on edge. How can he be the stallion she deserves if he doesn't fit into the traditional role of being the bigger and stronger one?

Luckily, he runs into a stallion who went through something similar and gets a few pointers on what masculinity and love truly mean.

Flash Sentry took a cookie from a plate meant for Shining Armor. There was something else in those cookies.

Winter Wishday. Wishentine. Wishiehoof. To hear Sunny Starscout tell it, the old name was "Hearth's Warming," back when the races lived together.

Maybe that time was coming again. It sure seemed like it, every passing day. The ponies of Equestria were growing together once more.

Which means Queen Haven has no more excuses to put off what she should have done a long time ago.

Izzy Moonbow detects a disturbance in the holiday force,
With all her joy and courage, Izzy whips up a course,
A course set by chance,
To bring another unicorn on a prance,
Through twists of time,
and learning of life sublime,
Izzy Moonbow meets Tempest Shadow.

Starlight isn't a child person. But Sunburst is.

She was not good enough for him.

That was the thought that stabbed through her mind as she watched Sunburst play with Flurry Heart, gently playing with the toddler in front of him, seeming enamored by him as they together danced around the Hearths Warming tree, the younger filly leading her husband around and pointing at the ornaments she put up.

Starlight was never like that with young kids.

Or what it means to be a parent.

Warning: The following story you are about to read contains M/M shipping between two fictional characters that are consenting adults and a brother that is borderline psychotic. This story is currently unedited. If you don't like any of these, you know where the exit button is.

For the first time, Thorax is going to do something he didn't think he would ever be able to do - ask out Spike, his longtime friend, out on a date. He hopes everything would go right, that this might be the beginning of something great between them. When Spike agrees to go out with him, Phyranx will be there to make sure to let Spike know what to expect if it doesn't go well.

This one-shot is for the M/M Shipping Contest II.

Rumble is disillusioned with pony society, Cutie marks specifically; they're so pretentious right? Yet Tender Taps is happy living a life centered around nothing but dancing? Maybe while Tender Taps perfects his dance moves for the Hearts and Hooves dance Rumble can figure out how Tender Taps is able to live happily with a Cutie Mark while at the same time challenge it with everything he does.

Inspired by the episode Party of One.

Pinkie has always had some deep insecurities in the back of her mind. Whether it's about her friends, her husband, or her own kid. For some reason, deep down, she's terrified that every pony around her is going to leave her. One day, these thoughts come full force to the front of her mind, and she's too weak to push them away. In this sorrowful state, Cheese Sandwich pays his loving wife a visit and they talk things out.

For the first time in a long time, Pinkie gives in, and stops being the Spirit of Laughter for a change.

After noticing Gallus isn't in class, Sandbar sets off to find why he's absent. What he finds along with his favorite griffon is much more interesting than what he could have ever expected.

And much, much more fluffy.

Based on a Tweet I couldn't resist making something out of.
