A year after Nyx's first Hearth's Warming, she and her adoptive mother Twilight Sparkle are back in Canterlot to visit Twilight's parents... and, as Nyx learns, to take a tour of Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns on the teacher's workday after school has let out for the holiday.

Unfortunately for Nyx, not all the faculty is as good at teaching as Princess Celestia... or, for that matter, as good at not being a pest.

And why does Superintendent Spell Nexus, the pony who created Nyx with forbidden magic, keep turning up? (Well, besides the fact that he runs the school.)

An unofficial story in the Past Sins universe, set a year after Winter Bells. Written for Brony-wan Kenobi for the 2022 Jinglemas story exchange.

Life can be tough for a farmer. After a rough season Big Macintosh needs something to keep his strength going, fortunately, something worth living for isn't far away.

This is a short fic I did to fill in some time for my other stuff. Feel free to criticise and tell what you did/didn't like. Fic based off of the pic I used for the cover art (full credit to BobtheLurker for his art)

Maybe that glance lasted just a little too long, or maybe a certain conversation could be interpreted as innuendo. Whatever it is, sometimes we see only what we want to see, and sometimes our fantasies get the best of us. Rarity is no exception.

Twilight Sparkle is a gifted student and scholar. When she attempts to harness her creative side by writing a science-themed sensual romance novel, however, things rapidly get out of hoof. Can her friends stage an intervention before she humiliates herself (and them) at a prestigious literature recital?

No. No, they cannot.

Can the Crystal Empire survive an attack from Chrysalis' most powerful weapon?

Thanks to Speccer for some proofreading and 2ManySnacks for the idea.

Having received a sudden summons, Twilight promptly arrives at Fluttershy's abode. She is soon involved in a case in which she will do the best to find her truth.

Emphasis on 'her truth'.

Warning: Death in here, though it's not quite the gruesome ordeal you might be thinking about.

This is the third dumbest story I've written. I'm sorry.

Twilight is showing Celestia her new invention – an advanced lie detector. Without her knowledge, Luna and James asked her friends to join the presentation. But that shouldn't be a problem. After all, the mane six has nothing to hide! … right?

Dr. Tenderheart has done this job long enough to know what death means. But nobody noticed, and nobody cared. So she pressed on.

Quills and Sofas Panic Fiction entry for a Rob Panic. The prompt was 'naked on the beach.' 2nd place winner. Like what you see? Come join us! Content warning: death.

Celestia discovers a lingering trace of Nightmare Moon's soul still lodged in Twilight's mind—a survivor of the lingering effects of the Element's magic.

Faced with the threat of gradually losing her friend to Nightmare Moon's evil influence, Celestia realizes the only way to save Twilight is to let the storm of dark magic take its course all at once.

And yet, as Nightmare Moon's corrupting magic tears away at Twilight's forgiveness and understanding, and Twilight begins dredging up unexpressed doubts once kept controlled, Celestia must face a lifetime of confrontation her student has kept covered.

It is going to be a long night for both alicorns.

This story was written for the Tenth Bimonthly Twilestia Contest. It placed somewhere.
