In the aftermath of the hive's reformation and hard-earned acceptance across Equestria, many changelings find themselves freely traveling the continent. When one of them ends up in a modest little town on Equestria's outskirts, he charms a local stallion with tales of a place where all is lackadaisical and cuddly, and offers him a demonstration.

Double Diamond isn't pleased by all aspects of Starlight Glimmer's society of true equality. But even if it isn't always great, at least it's fair, right?

Content Note: Double Diamond is with ponies who he doesn't particularly want to be with since he is pressured by society to do something "fair"; Our Town's policy on sharing--inspired by real-life utopian cult communities--is based on an extreme conception of equality.

Cover Art: by me.

Written in the time of quarantine, I found myself wanting to write something obsessively, unrelentingly fluffy, gentle and sweet. No suffering, no real harm or unkindness; the real world has enough of that. Our world right now is incredibly stressful, so I wanted to write something that was as gentle, and as tender, as I needed to hear right now. Maybe you need to hear it, too. My go-to ship has always been Caramac (Caramel + Big Mac), so I went back to my roots for this one.

Caramel awakes suddenly from a terrible nightmare, but the nightmare only confirms his waking fears. Is he enough for Big Mac? He's clumsy, and slow, and he makes so many mistakes; what if Big Mac gets tired of him one day? Luckily, Big Mac is right there in bed with him to remind him just how much he is loved.

This story is a sequel to Sensation

Trees are the same. Year in, year out. They're reliable, and as long as you take care of 'em and watch out for blight and pests and such, you know what you get. But ponies ain't trees.

It's been an eventful year since the accident took Soarin's career from him, and Braeburn remembers every moment. He may say he's content, but there's something desperate behind those bright, green eyes.

It's hearts and hooves day, and Braeburn is still left without a special somepony. He keeps looking and looking, but can't find any other colts-at least ones that would be interested in him. It seems like searching for a needle in a haystack, and it's going to be another hearts and hooves day alone. But maybe he's searching in the wrong places. Maybe his needle isn't on the ground, but above his head, in the sky.

A nice Yakutian stallion visits the nice, friendly lands of Equestria for a diplomatic visit. Despite being toted around as a land of Friendship and happiness, all of the mares keep bothering and or attacking him? What gives? Did he do something wrong? Was it a culture thing?

Well, Snowball, even with a security detail assigned to him, he'll have to learn why. As for the mares of Equestria, they'll be taught a very valuable lesson... By Snowball of all ponies. Will he and his arctic coat survive Equestria? Who knows?
