Sunset Shimmer has a nightmare where her friends abandon her because of a scandal that she never commit. However, she finds comfort from a person she least expected.

When she catches a bad case of pegapox, Rainbow Dash cannot fly up to her cloud home. Grounded and quarantined in Ponyville, she is taken in by Rarity and Sweetie Belle, who vow to nurse her back to health. Can the pegasus survive her well-meaning caregivers long enough for Twilight to find a cure--and why is the weather turning so weird?

Lotus is a professional masseuse. She sees the pony below the skin, and tends to coax just as much out of their mouths as their muscles. Late one day, she gives three very different massages to three close friends, all of whom mention a name she isn't familiar with: Applejack.

The original version of the story took 5th place in The Writeoff Association's February 2015 contest, "Closing Time"

Our Heroes have saved the world once again, and now retire from adventuring for the day and have themselves some much needed shut eye.

Applejack and Rainbow Dash travel to the Everfree Forest to find a Hearths Warming Tree.

Applejack has noticed that Rainbow Dash hasn't quite been herself lately and tries to figure out what's wrong and if she can do anything to help.

Rainbow Dash is a very self-assured pony and she has every right to be. But as she struggles to accomplish a variant of her trademark Sonic Rainboom, Dash begins to lose faith in herself. Can a friend help her find the answer? Also, what's with that purple laughing streak over the Everfree?

Hearth's Warming. A time of joy and cheer, of generosity and love.
Not so much for the Apple Family, though.
Winter means the end of crop season, and money is hard to come by. The family, however, protects their pride by celebrating small... meaning not at all.
When Twilight and and the rest of the mane six find this out, they spring into action, wanting this Hearth's Warming to be one especially for them. One to remember forever.

This is another experimental-ish piece, working with symbolism, emotional development, complex scenes with lots of characters interacting, and world-building.
Of course, you can ignore all that and just read a story about tiny talking horses with magic powers. That's good, too.
Enjoy!

After falling asleep in the bath, Twilight's schedule is ruined and she becomes incredibly stressed--until some of Pinkie's hot chocolate gets to her.

For the first time in her life, Scootaloo has a reason to look forward to the Sisterhooves Social. At least, she thinks she does. It's just a matter of figuring out whether or not she can invite the pegasus she has in mind.

Surely one of the posters scattered throughout town would have some details on the event, right?
