Quibble Pants finally confessed to his daughter that he's not so sporty after all and ever since then, those two have gotten closer. Quibble is relieved that everything worked out well, he intends to keep it that way.

Little does he know, the impact he had on Wind's life was greater than he thought. He completely changed her into sompony else! Himself... and he doesn't know how to accept that change. Not sure how he would accept that as well.

Hearth's Warming is a wonderful time of year for most ponies. Getting together, singing, eating traditional foods, seeing old friends… and family.

But when that family is broken, or trying to heal, sometimes things can be a little harder.

Written for Admiral Biscuit, who requested some slice of life flavored with secondary background pones, as his Jinglemas 2023 gift! These may not be the most obscure, but theirs is a burgeoning family dynamic that I appreciated seeing. Cover art by mlplary6, source in image.

CW: Divorce, brief discussion of toxic relationships

Quibble Pants knows every detail of every comic book in Equestria, but when it comes to being a good father, he's kind of clueless. Not even his favorite convention can help him forge a bond with his stepdaughter, Wind Sprint.
But when a page from The Book of All Stories brings the maniacal Mane-iac to life, Quibble will need to step up and become the hero that Wind Sprint (and all of Equestria) needs.

An exclusive story written for Scattered Pages: Tales from the Book of All Stories as part of Ponyville Ciderfest's Interactive Storytelling Adventure in November 2023!
Featuring cameos from PVCF's Convention Heads Lucky Hops and Libby Roars, the digital kirin Fizzy Glitch and the awesome cosplay team of Crackle's Cousin Cosplay!

Wind Sprint finds one of Quibble's book about Daring Do. Out of curiosity, Wind reads it to see what Daring Do is like. Little did Wind knew, the story she was reading was definitely not for foals.

When Rumble is called back to his old Cutie Mark Day Camp to help teach and inspire the young blank flanks for a day, his marefriend Wind Sprint joins him for support. However, Sprint quickly notices that the CMC seem to be acting just a little too friendly with Rumble. Will she let her jealousy get the best of her?

Wind Sprints mom, Clear Sky, is going to meet her old friend, Berry Punch, also known as Ruby Pinch's mom. The two mothers also thought this a great opportunity for their daughters to make friends!

Problem is, these fillies don't want to make friends with each other. But sometimes, you are placed in a situation where you need to.

Hearth's Warming is just around the corner, which for Quibble Pants presents a bit of a dilemma. It's his first Hearth's Warming with his new family and he's desperate to find a good present for Wind Sprint.

Once again he decides to call on the help of his friend Rainbow Dash, this time paying her a visit in Ponyville in the hopes she'll be able to help him out. And lucky for him, his friend has some time to spare.

Can Rainbow Dash point Quibble in the right direction again? Or this a dilemma that Quibble will have to figure out on his own?

Really, Wind Sprint wasn't mad that she got shown out of the locker room. It was that the ponies outside of it were even more irritating than the elusiveness of the reason for being stuck with them.
