In the aftermath of the hive's reformation and hard-earned acceptance across Equestria, many changelings find themselves freely traveling the continent. When one of them ends up in a modest little town on Equestria's outskirts, he charms a local stallion with tales of a place where all is lackadaisical and cuddly, and offers him a demonstration.

Cozy Glow has been locked away in Tartarus as punishment for her crimes. There she meets her pen pal and new neighbor, Lord Tirek. She then proceeds to drive him completely nuts.

It is the middle of winter, it was cold that day, but that night was even colder. Freezing in her bed at night, Nyx seeks out the warmth of one who has always been there to love and comfort her. Winter is a season of rest, as Nyx is about to learn, though cold and as harsh as a Windigo's call, it can be a beautiful, and wonderful time of year.

Nyx is a character created by Pen Stroke.
Short story, intended to show just a small moment in Nyx's life.

Having just returned from Starlight's village, Twilight and her friends set about salvaging what they could from the Golden Oak Library with sparsely any success. A few books here, a mannequin there. And with luck, a few reminders of the past can be re-discovered beneath the broken boards and fallen branches.

It is on this salvage that Twilight and her friends discover the doll Nyx had kept since her days of darkness had been less fortunate then most of her other belongings. Afraid of upsetting Nyx, Twilight requests Rarity's help, only things don't go quite as planned and Rarity ends up having to remake it from scratch.

So this story got mentioned in one of Pen Strokes newest Past Sins Sequel, Glimpses, There are no words that describe my joy at this. I thank him again for creating Nyx and Past Sins, and for being a splendid fellow.

that the mannequin came to life

Cozy Glow is a masterful singer. If she sings the correct sequence of music notes, she can make you cry.

When Colgate takes her daughter to the Hayburger, Colgate thought everything would go fine. When they don't have the toy that Lyra needs though, she gets upset and does the unexpected to get her and in the process shows her mother that her magic is much better than she thought.

Twilight Sparkle isn't known to put anything less than her all into magic development. It's only natural she tried her best when Rarity asked her to make an anti-wrinkling re-vitalizing de-aging spell to help smooth some stray laugh lines.

Turns out her best is a little too good.

Now it's up to Shining Armor and Cadence to take care of their little sister, with an emphasis on the "little". Assuming her Royal Canterlot Voice temper tantrum doesn't cause the Crystal Empire to shatter first, that is.

Helping a lost filly find her way home should have been a walk in the park for Princess Twilight Sparkle, but this time things turned out to be a bit stranger than she was expecting.
