It's been a while since you've had a proper day off. No work, no responsibilities, none of it. So, you're going to make the most of it by doing absolutely nothing. Your hammock is set up, your cooler is nice and full, and the shade underneath these Ponyville oak trees feels quite heavenly. Yup, it's going to be a good day.

Twilight, on the other hand, doesn't understand why you would want to do something so... mundane.

The ponies become very popular streamers.

Celestia has always wondered why Twilight never replied to most of her letters. Fortunately Luna breaks the news 'gently'.

A rather silly idea that popped into my head this afternoon. I make no apologies.

Edit: As a few people pointed out, the title was really giving the story away; I've changed it on their (sound!) advice.

All Trixie wants is a warm, romantic night with her marefriend during a blustering storm. What could be better than snuggling under the covers together and throwing the stresses of the day out the window?

Too bad things don't always work out that way and Starlight is to blame. So is Spike.

During another year's festive Hearth's Warming Eve traditions, Pinkie Pie livens up the celebratory holiday with her best friends by bringing in Cards Against Equestria. This game is only shared between the best of friends, and the worst of ponies.

How will the friends' friendship be able to stand up against such a nasty challenge?

Also, this story is set after the events of Season 8 of MLP:FiM.

NOTE: The 'Sex' tag is implied towards potential references of sexual activity. No actual sex occurs. I'm just 'tryna be safe!

Based on the renowned card game: Cards Against Humanity.

This story is inspired by these great stories by Dawn Flower (Cards Against Creatures) and BronyOverlord (Cards Against Starlight)

Wallflower tries repeatedly to murder Sunset. She doesn't expect Sunset to flirt back.

You get to choose the ending!

Written for The Sleepless Beholder as part of Hearthswriting 2021.

Original prompt:

Wallflower, as a cliche horror killer, tries to kill Sunset Shimmer for all the bullying she suffered during her time as queen b**** of CHS, but her mission becomes immensely difficult when Sunset, instead of being remotely scared, flirts with her in every encounter.

Thank you to Bicyclette, Sunlight Rays, iAmSiNnEr, and daOtterGuy for prereading. daOtterGuy also deserves thanks for the title as it was a fantastic suggestion.

(Salem Saberhagen comes from the television series "Sabrina The Teenage Witch". Featured from 11/02/21 to 11/03/21.)

Fluttershy is no stranger to making friends with animals, and is no stranger to some of those animals being weird and unique in their own way. But she's never encountered an animal like this before.

The pegasus finds what appears to be a stray black cat one day and takes him in out of the kindness of her own heart. But this black cat can talk and has his own name: Salem Saberhagen.

When the initial shock of a talking cat wears off, Fluttershy becomes interested in Salem as she seeks to understand what makes the black cat who he is. As for Salem, he mostly cares about having something to do while all by himself in an unfamiliar world.

A human appears in Equestria, meeting Applejack and soon the rest of the ponies of Ponyville. He does his best to cope with the new situation, especially those that move faster than he might be comfortable with. The first year of his time in Equestria.

Spike accidentally gets white paint on his back. This wouldn't have been a problem if it weren't for the fact that his newly-added stripe has attracted a particular female skunk. Can he escape the grasps of Fifi La Fume and find a way to remove the paint? More importantly, what is Fifi doing in Equestria anyway?

Crossover with Tiny Toon Adventures. Takes place between Season 6 and 7. Contains one-sided hugging and kissing and a whole lot of flirting.
