Five years. That was how long the war against Humanity has been going on. And as the last year draws to a close, as Humanity and their pony allies push into Equestria Controlled Asia, Australia and New Zealand, their advance was halted by the snow.

As the soldiers from both sides ready themselves for a winter advance (a tactic both sides have implemented throughout the course of the war), singing was heard across the battlefield. Songs of festive cheer, songs of hope, songs of mourning, and songs of unity and friendship.

Inspired by the historic event known as "The Christmas in the Trenches", as well as Sabaton's Christmas Truce and REMAMBA's The Hearth's Warming Truce, The Last Hearth's Warming is set in Rated Ponystar's NegotiationsVerse, tells about the different stories across the frontline of the Conversion War's last Winter Holiday as both sides briefly see eye-to-eye.

While this story says Completed, more will be added to the collection in the near future: Both from established OCs and Canon main cast (Fluttershy, Discord, etc.)

Main story is here.
Merry Christmas!

As the sun sets on another day in the magical land of Equestria, an era sets along with it. One of the last remaining participants of a bygone age rests idly, bracing themselves to face whatever lies beyond this mortal coil.

Twilight Sparkle is no stranger to death. As an alicorn, one of the immortal rulers and protectors of Equestria, she's seen many dear friends come and go over the countless years. But through it all, there was one confidant she could always find solace in: Spike, her faithful dragon assistant and adoptive little brother.

Alas, not even dragons, long-lived as they are, can endure forever. Now, with mere hours remaining before Spike leaves this world for the next, the time has come for Twilight to bid farewell to the first and last of her very best friends.

"Excuse me while I go and feel wistful in a corner." –Astrarian

Two noble stallions, one the Grand Duke of Canterlot and scion of the noblest of houses, the other the heir to a name long forgotten the name that once belonged to the Arch-Dukes of the Twilight vale. They duel for honor, to settle a grievance's both long-standing and newly made, all of which has culminated in what may forever be known as the greatest tragedy of the 11th century. They both have regrets, they both have something to lose and leave behind, but they have realized it all too late for one does not simply walk away from a duel. Now they must grab their pistols and walk their paces.

Set sometime before Season 8 Episode 16- The Hearth's Warming Club

Hearth's Warming Eve is just around the corner, and the School of Friendship is buzzing with activity for the holidays to start. It all changes for Silverstream, who gets to see her first snowfall for the first time since the Storm King's defeat. Her friends probably should have told her to wrap up warm before venturing out in the cold though...

“We need like, magically entwined rings. Six of them. Forged together. Enchanted together. Together forever. Like we’re going to be. And I don’t think that there’s anything like that that we know about. So no marriage for now.”

Smolder scratched the back of her neck. “Actually...maybe...I know a spot?”

“You’re kidding,” Gallus said.

“I was holding off on talking about him until it was time to propose,” said Smolder. “He’s an old fart who lives in a cave on the borders of the Dragonlands. His place is kinda camouflaged to non-dragons so the professors don’t really know about it and neither do your species’ governments.”

“Well, I know what we’re doing today,” Ocellus said. "Committing crime for the sake of my five fiancees. You know, this is one of the few things that I think both Chrysalis and Thorax would be proud of me for."

The sun has set, the moon has risen, and crowds fill the ancient streets of Marecelona to celebrate the night away. Among them walks a solitary mare in a long red coat. Few notice her, but those who do know exactly why she is there.

She is there to dance.

With Nightmare Night just around the corner, a group of friends decided to have their guys' night telling each other ghost stories in the White Tail Woods by a campfire. After some good fun of telling urban legends and creepy stories, the last pony, Inkwell, decides to finish the night by telling them about his experience in a town called Rathdrum. He recounts the time when a cult had lurked in the pine forests - and how one night, he had an encounter with them.

Based on an Idaho urban legend of the Rathdrum Witches.

This was what the reborn alicorn heard. Luna was back but at the same time she wasn't. And even though the title was there she knew the truth.

She wasn't a Princess. Not even close.

An entry in the Lateverse

Rainbow’s face darkened. “Cozy, I’m not asking you. I’m telling you. I need to know how we end.”

Something flashed through Cozy’s face, something Rainbow vaguely thought of as fear. But it passed and Cozy hissed, rubbing her forehead. “Fine. You want to know how you two end?”

There was a second of silence filled by the wind.

Cozy’s eyes burned red when she spoke again. “One of you will destroy the other.”

A gift for Shaslan.
