'Twas the day after Hearth's Warming, on a day full of chills
A downhearted Cheese Sandwich returned to Ponyville

During the holiday, he didn't get much sleep
As he worried heavily about the promise he couldn't keep

He was not happy to hear that a large snowdrift had blocked the train
And his efforts to get home to his wife Pinkie Pie were in vain

Though his brother Tomato was nice enough to let him stay at his house
Poor Cheese still felt sick that he had disappointed his own children and spouse

So as he went home, just a single day late
He hoped that his family wouldn't be angry that they had to wait.

Sudden inspiration to write a Hearth's Warming CheesePie fic has struck me. Enjoy.

When people found out Rainbow Dash was going to have a baby, it was almost unbelievable. Many people were shocked that one of the most athletic and cockiest people in town was going to be a mother. But imagine their reaction if they found out Rainbow was self-doubting herself as a future mother.

Sunset Shimmer spends a quiet, ordinary afternoon and evening at home.

It is a soldier’s duty to defend his country, a soldier’s duty to protect the people and sometimes while performing that duty sometimes a soldier pays the ultimate price. During the Canterlot invasion a soldier paid such a price, he left the world without so much as a thought, but he was not forgotten. Another soldier remembered his name and now he stands before a simple stone to speak to what he had lost.

Pinkie should really start reading signs more often. Anti-Earth Pony meetings are no joke.

Celestia is in a very good mood, and has been for some time. Her days are less stressful, the kingdom's problems no longer weigh on her mind as they once did, and the thought of never having to sleep alone is now a reality.

Yet, for all of this, she still wants to know why her human partner loves as he does, and one morning, she asks him.

Rated T for cuddles and suggestive themes.

No one remembers just when it started, or where it started, all they know now is that there's nothing left. The once proud and industrious nation of Equestria has been turned to nothing but ash and ruin as a mysterious force attacks when they are most vulnerable, when they sleep. With the last remnants of the country packed huddled into the castle Canterlot, the only remaining line of defense, Princess Luna, shall enter the dreamscape and try to end this nightmare for her people. But as she travels further and further down the rabbit hole, she soon discovers that, despite being the sovereign of dreams, she is way out of her depth as the creature of her nation’s nightmares torments her.

The average pony would be delighted to wake up and find an adorable little bundle of joy on their doorstep—even more so after having learned it's been delivered by Princess Celestia herself! Now, imagine that this new foal has been chosen by fate to save Equestria's future, and you have a scenario beyond any would-be parent's wildest dreams. How absolutely wonderful would that be?

On a related note, Twilight Sparkle is now a mother. She isn't happy about it.

Written for F*** This Prompt, because no way would I write something like this otherwise. Probably. I think.

Many thanks to Kamikakushi and Dubs Rewatcher for pre-reading.

On a dark and stormy night, centuries in the past, Celestia and Luna walked into a bar.

They came looking for knowledge. They found a little more than that.
