It's that time of year where the snow is plentiful and ponies love to spend Hearth's Warming next to a warm fire. Twilight Sparkle has nothing planned for this Hearth Warming, nothing except a show and an evening filled with Applejack and her efforts to make sure she has a great time!

Ponyville's resident glassblower always was a little strange.

Four years ago, a changeling infiltrator found himself alone, and with no signs of backup. He followed the emergency protocol, stuck to the rules, and weathered the storm. With the proper application of patience, discipline, and heavy drinking, the years practically flew. Now the end is in sight, and it's safe to say that there's hardly any story left to tell, right?

Yeah, I thought so too...

In the warmth of her cloud home, Rainbow Dash is about to turn in for the night when she hears Scootaloo crying outside in the middle of a vicious blizzard. Plucking the freezing filly from the snow, Rainbow hopes to provide some much-needed comfort for the otherwise tough young pegasus, but she uncovers a disturbing reality that she knows she cannot handle alone.

Knowing only one pony that could really help her out, Rainbow enlists Twilight’s help, determined to set things straight for Scootaloo. But what Rainbow doesn’t know is that in her efforts to provide a better life for the filly, her friendship with Twilight will develop into something more.

There is something you need to know.

When you go out there inflicting harm to yourself, you're harming me as well. Sometimes things don't go how you'd like them to go, it's a part of life. Eventually, we move on, learn from our mistakes and accidents, and hold our heads high.

Nopony is perfect, and you have nothing to prove to me, or anypony else.

I love you just the way you are.

Applejack's tired of Rainbow's antics so she decides to do something about them.

Rainbow Dash can't sleep. Maybe Twilight can help her.

A cute Twidash one shot that might cause diabetes, cavities, and congestive heart failure.
(Beautiful cover art by Ambris on Deviantart.com, check is stuff out. All the dawww!)

Clover the Clever owes all she is in life to the whim of the unicorn princess. Platinum isn't perfect, but Clover has seen first hand the good she can do.

The Great and Powerful Trixie will stop at nothing to obtain a royal position and the power that comes with it, even if it means courting the newest member of the royal family.

Ever had one of those days where everything's just gone wrong, one problem after another?

Of course you have.

Ever had one of those days when you wake up to find you've accidentally switched places with your counterpart in a world where you and all your friends are stallions?

...No?

Maybe that's just Twilight, then.

But the Princess of Magic isn't going to let a little thing like being in the wrong universe ruin her day. She has a schedule - a checklist! - and it matches up with this Dusk Shine's perfectly. Apart from the names and the genders, everything seems to be a match, and Ponyville has seen much weirder things since she moved here.

Being stallions or mares shouldn't make her friends that different. What could possibly go wrong?

Another successful gig, another wild after party. Vinyl is absolutely trashed while on her way home from the Nightclub she should have left hours ago. One drunken idea and a crash landing later, our one and only Dj Pon3 finds herself face to starry face with a creature from beyond her world.

With the creature near death and begging for help, the mare agrees a bit too quickly to lend a hoof by any means necessary. Hopefully she doesn't regret this decision when she wakes up the next morning with a new tenant living in her noggin. One Vinyl and two minds, what could possibly go wrong?

AN: The cover art is by Johnjoseco. He's awesome and on Deviantart so go tell him hes cool and stuff. The picture was modified by my friend Flying Wingnut, and so is not the original.

Special Thanks: Thanks to all my friends on Skype that preread and supported my work, you all know who you are! And a super special thanks to my editor Onetrickpon3.
