It's Hearts and Hooves Day in the Crystal Empire. The sun is shining bright, the crystal ponies are laughing and happy, and all seems well on this most wondrous celebration of love.

Unfortunately, the Princess of "Shipping" has made a critical error in judgement. And it might just cost her both of the Crystal Empire's finest guardponies...

Special Thanks to SunlightRays and Stinium Ruide for editing help with this one!

Happy Valentine's Day 2021!!!

Part of the Anarchyverse, but you don't need to read any previous stories.

Twilight looked over to her dear mentor, Princess Celestia, and found she had once again fallen asleep mid-lesson. Her intense debate on awakening the princess was cut short when the decision was taken out of her hooves.

“Huh? Oh. Twilight, I am so sorry for falling asleep again. I think we need to reschedule this for tomorrow morning.”

Twilight nodded. After all, Princess Celestia was obviously overworked. If only there was something she could do to help.

Now with a dramatic reading courtesy of DRWolf.

Celestia can’t help but notice that her newest student has not been herself the last few days. She resorts to an unusual method to try fixing it.

A moment of Filly Twilight/Princess Celestia fluff. Basically the E-rated version of Comforting A Student, made because I thought the nonsexual parts of that story deserved a wider audience.

Luster Dawn returns home to spend Hearth's Warming with her mother--who is very curious to hear how her former student is doing.

"Death" tag is for discussions of death and dying.

All chapters are complete and edited, and will be posted daily.

An alternate take on events that begins in the middle of Chapter 2, Episode 6 ("The Traditional Unicorn Sleep-Over") of Make Your Mark. This story assumes reader knowledge of the show up to that point.

Zipp had a lot of suspicions about Misty, the strange unicorn that Izzy had met in town earlier that day and invited to an impromptu sleepover party at the Brighthouse. But while she'd been exercising her detective skills on their guest all night as the oddities surrounding her piled up, she hadn't meant to drive Misty away. So when, after Misty flees from the party in a panic, Zipp notices that she's still out in the Brighthouse's garden, pacing frantically, Zipp decides to see if she can talk to her, and figure out just what is going on with this curious new pony.

And what she learns may well give Zipp room for pause -- and a need to exercise some comfort skills.

Please note that while this fic is rated E, there is some mild discussion of parental/familial abuse.

Pinkie Pie is a great friend to everyone in Ponyville. That's just common knowledge. Even you, the resident human, aren't safe from her charm and enthusiasm. Over time, though, you've come to see her as more than just a friend. But considering how she greets everyone she knows with equal amounts of unbridled joy, you have no idea if you're as special to her as she is to you, or if you're just another name on a very long list of friends.
