If you look around the multiverse, you'll find several entities who would be happy to see them, at least initially. Those sapients would be operating on dreams of free wishes and gold -- or, for the more sensible, shoe repair. But Equestria knows nothing of those tales. And so all Rainbow knows is that it's a very important day, one where she absolutely must have privacy, and that means she needs to get these miniature green-jacketed lunatics out of her life.

Must be Crackfic Week again!

(Now with author Patreon, SubscribeStar, and Ko-Fi pages.)

Lyra explains to her friends what those things on the end of human forelegs are.

With predictable consequences.

With Twilight holding court, more and more ponies come to visit Ponyville. Royal Pin, the only tailor in Ponyville, has too much business to handle by himself. When he hires help to ease the pressure, at the suggestion of Rarity, he finds a partner in business and love.

Nurse Redheart has always wanted to help ponies, and help ponies she has! But when she's assigned to be the "sober companion" for Berry Punch, a mare with whom she has history, things might get a little more complicated than she expected.

Thanks to Flint Sparks for the idea and Auramane for some advice/prereading!

When Lyra Proposes to Bon-Bon, Pinkie's zealous promotion of the noble wedding of the century attracts some unexpected and unwanted attention. Can Pinkie and her party ponies pull off the biggest wedding Ponyville's ever seen to give the two most deserving ponies a happily ever after?

Berry Punch has lived her entire life behind the mask of Ponyville's happy, drunken, party animal. But does anypony know the real her?

See the sequel, Perdition, here.

Minuette has a visitor in her bathtub. Unsure about how to handle this, she invites Lyra over to help. She's not sure either. Especially when the visitor looks just like her. Just who is this mysterious visitor? Well... she likes to swim...

Now has a reading right here!

On Hearth's Warming Eve, Canterlot is the place to be. Lots of ponies flood the city, either to look for that perfect gift, or spend time with family. Some of the background ponies are there, and all of them have their own reasons. Vinyl is searching for a special gift for a certain cellist, Lyra is going to try her hoof at cooking while a candy maker is out, Minuette is praying that no pony finds out what she bought for a wine enthusiast, and Symphony is simply pulling her mane trying to find a gift that sends the right message.
More of a collection of very short stories than an actual big one, in celebration for the upcoming holiday.

Living fast and loose, that was basically what it was for Vinyl. Of course, all that came tumbling down when she got kicked in the throat, and as it is now, the local clubs are lucky if they see Vinyl once a month. Was it a wake-up call for her? Possibly, yes. Still, Berry Punch is... concerned for her friend, at any rate seeing how devoid of energy the formerly party hard mare is now. Mind you, maybe she needn't have worried as Vinyl does seem to be distracted by that cellist who pops in every so often...

After all, they did say love gave you something new to live for, right?

Hoppy Draft, proprietor and bartender of the Steady Drink, is a simple stallion of simple tastes, though most of those were directed somewhere towards alcohol. He runs a steady business at the edge of town, his customers coming from all kinds of places to get some rest from their travels. He's had every kind of creature in his place, from ponies to griffons.

But the one thing he did not expect came in the form of a soft knocking at the door during a cold, wintry evening.
