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.

Waking up as a strange alien bug was certainly not something Thornton ever expected to happen. And yet, that was just the circumstance he found himself in when he and his family awoke one morning with strange new bodies in a strange new world.

Now they're hoping to find their way home, but is home a place they can get back to? And if so, is home a place they want to return to?

Hearth's Warming is almost here once again!

This year, Ponyville has a new visitor to enjoy the holidays. Dragon Lord Ember has been invited to sample some of the pony traditions of the season to try and better understand her new pony allies. Naturally it was Twilight's idea.

Smolder has been roped in as the Dragon Lord's guide in this wintry season. With a top student of the School of Friendship as her guide, there's no room for misunderstandings.

Written for Muggonny for Jinglemas 2022! Their stuff is great. If you haven't checked out any of their stories before, I highly recommend it!

The cover was compiled by me using a screenshot from the show and vectors from cheezedoodle96

Happy Hearthswarming everycreature!

Gallus does the traditional griffon courting ritual! Unfortunately, Sandbar isn't a griffon.

Written for the https://www.fimfiction.net/group/216038/m-m-shipping-contest

Gallus came back home for a summer break. Griffonstone is changing, friendship is slowly growing and with it, comes prosperity. Thanks to him, Gilda and the friends they made here, his home is no longer the worst backwater in central Griffonia. But he's not the only one who noticed this sudden change in Griffonstone, and some griffons have questions...

(Some minor Equestria at War references, like names of countries, but takes place in main MLP canon and no knowledge of EaW is required to read it).

Edit: Featured on the day of publishing, 23.12.2022! My first MLP story ever, and first to be posted on FiMfiction, and an instant featured? Thank you!
(...it's 24.12 (and now 25.12) and it's still in featured? Don't know what to say, thank you everyone!)

And now has a Sequel!

Called to The Crystal Empire by Shining Armor, Sunburst is tasked with interviewing their newest arrival from the north: Former King Sombra.

As he tries to find out the hows and whys of this enigmatic villain's mysterious return, Sunburst finds there's something more lingering beneath the surface.

And despite wanting to be left alone to rot, Sombra finds connection to a past he'd prefer to forget and decisions unable to be taken back.

Written for the 2022 M/M contest!

A deceased Wingbardian griffon was found in the fields around Francistria, who was in possession of a diary. After the diary exchanged claws with a few unknown creatures, it ended up in the claws of a collector in Middenheim, who eventually donates it to the Greenback University where it is now displayed to the public in the universities museum.

On this day though, page 14 is on display with a translated slate next to it for any visitors to read from. Come back another day to see what new entry is on display.

This story takes place in the Equestria at War Universe.

There's more to Luna's duties than simply stopping nightmares. As well, not all nightmares are confined to dreams. Sometimes a pony needs a special reminder of their importance.

Written as a gift for Zontan, as part of an anthology. Cover art by Jay.

If I was to be the true Princess of the Night, it was my duty to become the first dreamwalker that ponykind had seen in countless moons. Perhaps it was not a role I was fully prepared for.

Written as part of an anthology for Zontan (you can find the other stories here). Many thanks to Parker and Novelle Tale for help with editing.

Lovely cover art by Snow Quill.

Bureaucracy can be boring, especially to a young filly. 

Babysitting can be annoying, particularly to a changeling general.

When unfortunate circumstances force Princess Flurry Heart and Prince Pharynx into each other’s company—on Hearth’s Warming, no less—the two find that even if initial plans fall through, the resulting backup may not be all that bad.

This Breezie story was written for Yoshikage Kira as a part of Jinglemas 2021! For more information about Jinglemas, check out our group!
