"The course of true love never did run smooth."
Caramel, Braeburn, and the Elements of Harmony had long abandoned any hope of finding love in their lives. Granted, a few had their dreams of a certain somepony, but that's all they were to them: dreams. That is until Winter Wrap-Up, where Caramel's clumsiness sets off a chain of events that could lead either to the betterment of everypony or to a schism between the Elements. Visions, reappearances, secrets, and histories attack ten ponies who begin to feel love's gentle warmth. Before all is told, each will have to battle his or her demons to find love waiting on the other side.

After surviving the dreaded Order 66, Jedi knight Joseph Malek has a near-death experience, in which he visits the most powerful being in existence. The strange being tells him of a future visit to its world before sending him back to his own existence. Twenty years later, while on a mission for the Rebellion, Malek accidentally stumbles upon a secret new world when his ship is damaged. The world’s Ruler, Princess Celestia, welcomes him and offers to aid in his ship's repairs. While there, Malek averts disaster when he stops a mutiny with the help of the planet’s inhabitants.

Now he must keep the world’s existence a secret when he travels back to his own dimension, which is rather hard when one if its people decides to sneak back with him.

Flash is a brilliant pegasus from Fillydelphia. He's running from his hurtful past to find a new home, a new life. What lies ahead of him when he finds himself in Ponyville? Only time will tell.

Rainstorm loves his family, and all life has to offer, but as the curses of realism, lust and life slowly transform innocence to maturity, he must find his consolation in friends, family, and love.

(Set 5 years after the epilogue of Winter's Howl)

==Originally written Fall 2011== Equestria Daily Post==
After a long day of ruling Equestria, the Royal Sisters need a chance to unwind. Luna's solution is a few glasses of her once famous Moonshine, a drink distilled from moonlight. Celestia has been sober for a thousand years, but the temptation to have "just one" glass proves too great. Yet, when that one glass turns into several, it's Twilight who will have to deal with the princesses when they’re drunk off their flanks.

It's good to be Big Macintosh. A powerful, sexy, and formidable bouncer who guards the entrance to the club "Vinyl's Cage Corral", and also the work horse of Sweet Apple Acres. He's good looking, and has many mares swooning at the mere mentioning of his name.

But...what if he doesn't even notice them? He's too busy to bother with love, and even if he could, the mares around Ponyville just aren't for him.

With Applebuck Season over, Vinyl's club closing down for Hearth's Warming Break, and no work to be done, Macintosh finds himself bored out of his mind...until he sees her.

A canary-yellow Pegasus with a lovely pink mane and the softest, most adorable eyes he's ever seen. He wants to talk to her...but what he discovers is that he's too shy to even try! To make matters worse...two of his cousins are in town to visit and notice this as well.

What follows is the hilarious adventure of two Apple Relatives helping a third to 'Buck up or shaddup!', get his act together and, you guessed it...take a Leap of Faith.

(This one's a bit shorter then the others, so I'm going to try to keep it the same quality but increase the speed. I really want to get to Twi-Vs-TrX!)

(2nd-Person School-colt "you") Ever since meeting Sweetie Belle, you've been trying to avoid the filly because of the weird feelings she stirs up inside you. However, when a crusade leaves you two rather messy, will you be able to keep these feelings secret while you're forced to do the unthinkable and take a bath with her?

Raised as a high class colt, Dew Drop was always taught that any pony that was not of Pegasus decent was under-class, un-welcomed in society, un-wanted. His parents condemned any talk of these ponies, unless it were to insult them. Dew grew up in hateful house, quite alone.
When his parents agreed to enrol him into Flight School, Dew was elated to know he was attending. It was exciting and all so new to him. What was he going to learn? Who was he going to meet? He was nervous to meet colts and fillies his age; he had never had any friends or ponies to talk to in his life.
Until he met Fluttershy... and then she disappeared.

A continuation of A Distant Star: Atom and Twilight have been captured and need a way out. There is something obviously wrong going on with Celestia and they have to find out what it is before it is too late. Who are the Shrouded Conclave? How is Celestia involved? Why is she so determined to capture Atom? How the hell does Pinkie Pie actually work!? All of these will be answered in time (Except the last one... there's just no answer to that.)

Rainbow Dash's signature move doesn't work so well when she tries it amongst the Apple Family's orchard and hurts herself badly, with Applejack and Applebloom away in Appleoosa and the town Nurse away at a convention who will Big Mac turn to to help him care for the wounded pegasus?

Ah am looking for anyone with experience to review this and point out any obvious flaws with the spelling. grammar or story! So help me if y'all can!
