Octavia feels like she is living in Vinyl Scratch's shadow, a bit part to the DJ's main act.

But then the opportunity of a lifetime comes, and she's given a chance to perform at Carneighgie Hall under a legendary composer.

The only caveat: she'll have to cancel a duet performance with Vinyl on Hearth's Warming Eve...

This story is a sequel to Rap battle of the Blood moon

Pinkie in all her excitement decided to hire the hardest to book rapper in all Equestria, Notorious B.U.G. for their Hearth’s Warming party. Twilight knows that B.U.G. is really Queen Chrysalis in disguise. Will she need to keep her friends safe this season or will Pinkie’s faith in the magic of the holiday and code of performer professionalism win out?

A mix of strange circumstances means that Gilda and Gallus are not spending the holidays in Griffonstone
"enjoying," or rather surviving, the Blue Moon Festival. Instead, they are in Equestria for Hearth's Warming. Can Gilda put her griffon grump aside to enjoy a more wholesome holiday? Maybe she can with Gallus's help.

At Teofilio's request, Gilda and Gallus are step-siblings in this story.

In order to save Winter Wishday (or at least Mane Melody's holiday decorations), Sunny and Hitch must kiss.

They have some objections to voice about this first though.

Despite it being Winter Wishday, Opaline's quest to secure dragon fire still remains the same. And as usual, she's sent her helper, Misty, to obtain it. And while the unicorn is on her mission, Opaline decides to take care of some "important" matters around the lair. What kind of matters? Well, one's that require her full attention and must not be interrupted by anypony.

Tonight was the Blue Moon festival, and Smolder wanted to celebrate the holidays with Gallus to spice things up a bit. Gallus, however, thinks that she wouldn’t appreciate the her visit due to… some of the griffon’s attitudes.

Gallus just hopes that Smolder doesn’t think she made a mistake. The last thing he wants was for her to feel unwelcome. He would do anything to impress her in this shabby town of Griffonstone.

(Takes place circa Season 2.)

Winter has always been something of a slow season for Fluttershy, and now that she and Pinkie Pie are dating, those idle hours just seem that much duller in comparison. When the energetic earth pony pops in — down her chimney, no less — and suggests they go spread some Hearth's Warming cheer together, she's up for tagging along… even if all the attention they're accumulating is a little nerve-wracking. Still, with the party pony's glowing enthusiasm leading the way, they're all set to paint the town red and green, no matter how many decorations, cookies, and flagrant violations of the laws of physics it takes!

Along the way, however, Fluttershy can't help but ponder a few things. Above all else? All the ways in which her marefriend so easily pulls off the impossible.

It's Hearth's Warming Eve and Twilight's household is abuzz with activity. Some of this is activity that the little filly is familiar with, but so far, there are some things that take place behind closed doors that she has no idea about. Not simply the wrapping of presents, of course, but things she can't imagine a reason to hide.

Well, this year, on her seventh Hearth's Warming, she's not going to stand for it any longer. She's going to find out what the grownups are doing in the kitchen all this time. She's going to learn how it all works and hopefully, in the future, she's going to be able to help, in addition to how she helps prepare for the holiday already.

However, through the course of discovery and fulfilling her obligations, Twilight is going to encounter a question. A question that any child would be terrified to ask, but too curious not to.
