A holiday tale in which Cheerilee learns the true meaning of the word "wassail"; Granny Smith fails to learn the true meaning of the word "polymath"; and somehow, amidst it all, three flowers finally begin to put down roots. Happy Twelfth Night, everypony.

Now with a Spanish translation by Spaniard Kiwi!

They say parents shouldn't outlive their children.

For Granny Smith, it's too late for that.

Now she prays she doesn't outlive her grand-daughter, too.

Now with an audio reading from The Mystery Fluttershy Fan!

Little Mac has always had a hard time in school. While reading and writing just seemed to come easy to other ponies, he had to struggle constantly and even then he didn't get it. Was he doomed to forever not be able to learn like the other ponies, or was it because he had never been taught the right way?

Thank you so much to Biker Dash,jszellmer, CptBrony, and Masked Ferret for the edits! Also thank you to Allonso Bronyguy and Shrapmo for reading it!

A fanfic based on an artpiece by Zaponator

SIXTEEN YEARS OLD and still without a cutie mark, Apple Bloom faces an existential crisis until a new opportunity presents itself, one that might solve her problem—if she can take the first step.

It is deeper, more thoughtful and infinitely more interesting than any story I’ve ever read starring her. Well paced, emotional, and possessing strong, interesting characters, this is a story worth getting involved in. Why Haven’t You Read These Yet?

They say you can’t miss what you’ve never had. And Scootaloo would be inclined to agree with them. Except, she did have all a little filly would want from a home, and she does miss what she lost. Not that anypony would help her get it back.

Would they?

Just after discovering her cutie mark, Fluttershy met the stallion of her dreams, Big Macintosh.

...Okay, he was still a young colt back then, and 'Big' didn't exactly describe him either; he was just eye-level to the shy pegasus.

That's beside the point though.

Now, after hearing that said-stallion is the big brother to one of her friends, she becomes excited to meet up with him again.

But how is she meant to do that, when Big Macintosh is so... big?
