Following the events of “Swirlpool Starlight,” Misty is feeling more conflicted about her past being brought to the surface than ever. Fortunately, one pony may be able to help her see the bright side to it all and perhaps help her learn more about herself……

While on a camping trip, Pipp tells her friends and sister a story. That turns out to be more true than thay realised.

Which just puts a new problem on their hooves. Who is this Wild Mare really? Where did she come from? Maybe Sunny and her friends can help her figure that out, too.

Sunny Starscout being evasive? Sprout now unerringly obedient to her every ask? Izzy Moonbow being... well, Izzy?

Something weird is ahoof, and Sherrif Hitch will investigate.

Pray (for his poor little cherub-like sanity) he never finds out what it is.

This is my2nd place entry for the Quills and Sofas Speedwriting group's G5 Shipping contest. Thanks to AuroraDawn, Snow Quill and BandyBrony for reviewing/pre-reading!

It’s a couple of days after hearths warming, and Opaline has spent it alone with nopony else. She decides to sneak into the tearoom in Bridlewood, which is closed till new year. But before she can have any swigs of alcohol, a loud scuffle is heard from another room. And who should she find, but another more recent villain also roaming Equestria.

Takes place in the IDW comics continuity, immediately after the Discord arc. If you have not read issues 1-10 already, then please do so or this story will not make sense.

Discord has been reformed once again. Following his attempt to destroy all magic, he has done much to come to terms with his actions. Though he is accepted by pony society, he still prefers a life of isolation as it was the only life he ever knew for centuries. Yet that solitary life is about to be uprooted when none other than Izzy Moonbow, the very pony who had mercy on him in the first place, comes knocking at his door and inviting him to have holiday dinner with her friends in Maretime Bay.

Suddenly, Discord is thrown back to the days where he had friendship, the day he had love…the day he had Fluttershy. He doesn’t feel like he is ready to be given a second chance yet, but Izzy will not give up on him….

Seeking refuge from a sudden rainstorm in Maretime Bay one Nightmare Night, Hitch, Zipp and Sparky flee to Hitch's home to dry off. As Sparky slumbers, Hitch and Zipp decide to sit on the couch and watch some Nightmare Night movies, enjoying the spooky holiday even as the storm rages on outside.

Could a night of popcorn and scary movies evolve into something more?

I wanted to write a fun Nightmare Night short story that featured one of my favorite MLP Gen 5 ships, Hitch x Zipp, so here it is. The [Sex] tag is merely for some implied extracurricular activities.

This story contains: some suggestive content, some Hitch x Zipp shipping, a ponified version of Netflix, Nightmare Night, joking references to horror movies and mlp creepypastas, special effects that represent gore but are clearly just visual effects (so fake gore), an OC from an older fic, and... a vampony!

I know it's December (at the time that I post this story), but hey if Christmas can invade both October and November then turnabout is fair play.

Sunny wants to get to know Spike better after their battle with Opaline, so she takes a trip to the Isle of Scaley for a simple conversation between friends. Unfortunately, Spike seems incapable of grasping this one simple fact about her. Together, the two of them attempt to settle the dispute as to whether or not Sunny truly qualifies as a princess once and for all.

She…might not like the answer though.
