Inspired by a lecture my dad gave me after consuming 1.5 bottle's worth of rice wine. Also a little something for Christmas Eve and Day.

Scootaloo was on top of the world. Showered with praise at the Equestrian Games, became closer to her idol, and learned an important lesson in the process. To celebrate the success of their performance at the Crystal Empire, the CMC, with the aid of Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie, launch a party at Sweet Apple Acre.

But even with all the festivities, Scootaloo's self-doubt had not completely disappeared. Even before the bullying, the idea of never joining Rainbow in the sky, no matter how hard she tried, left a hole in her stomach. After all, what more can you do but your best?

Wandering around the barn, she discovers a curious hobby of Big Macintosh's. Just to be fair like the cool pony she is, Scootaloo reveals a secret of her own, and learns from the stallion just what mere hard work can do.

After being left alone like every year, Scootaloo wishes to find a family of her own. Feeling abandoned, she struggles with the thought of telling her friends. What she doesn't know yet is that love is it's own reward and she doesn't have to be alone.

Family-oriented story.

Celestia pays Twilight and her friends a visit.

It has been a very long time since she saw them last.

Daring Do seeks a favor from her sister in Ponyville. Due to buried grudges, things quickly get out of hoof. She soon finds herself on her most perilous mission yet... with her biggest fan in the world. In the midst of truth and lies, loyalty and treachery, love and hate, one thing is clear ― some family situations are stranger than fiction.

The story extends in Through the Looking-glass and What Pinkie Found There and The Daughter Doo: Honorary Cutie Mark Crusader.

Many thanks to Honey Mead and statoose for their watchful and helpful pre-reading.

Ckat_Myla and statoose (CatNStat) have started an excellent reading of TSD.

Ditzy and the Doctor return to Ponyville after what to them feels like about a day, but to the Doctor's surprise, Ditzy has been labeled a missing pony, and he was her ponynapper. The Doctor meets with an old friend, they, along with Ditzy, use Nightmare Night as a guise to cloak themselves in costumes. They find what they're looking for...but that's not necessarily good. And how will Ditzy's two daughters, Amethyst and Dinky, react to their mother's sudden reappearance after such a long time?

Everypony has secrets. Dinky will soon reach the age of curiosity, and there is one question her mother can never answer honestly: Who is her father?

Ditzy can never tell her the truth. Not to deliberately withhold the information and leave her in the dark, but simply to protect her from the horrors of the past.

Big Macintosh has fallen hard for the pretty blond mare. When she is forced into a fight for her life, he sticks by her faithfully, but keeping the promises he's made will be an even tougher battle.

Written for a sadfic contest (I won!); the plot is in honor of my mother-in-law, who wasn't so lucky, and I suspect wouldn't actually appreciate inspiring a story about ponies.

On a Shoe Day, farriers set all their other business aside and devote the whole day to fitting ponies with shoes for the upcoming season.

Big Mac is certainly up to the task this Sunday. However, something about meeting pretty much everyone he`s on amiable terms with in one day proves to be... interesting.
