“Smile,” my mother whispers, and I force my lips wider. A ghastly grin that stretches my face too wide. It can’t possibly look appealing, but I can hear the thud of his footsteps and I lean up on my tip-toes, puffing my crest up to its very highest.

Twilight x Tempest for Hearth's Warming~ 🎄💝

With the Storm King defeated, a large portion of his military equipment was stacked into munitions dumps for later disposal.

This story is a sequel to The Princess's Captain

There are more characters in The Princess's Captain than just Twilight Sparkle and Tempest Shadow. This will be a repository for stories that don't feature our main pairing quite as heavily, that take place in the middle of other stories, and/or that are simply not as important to the main plot. Every one of these stories is canon, however, so the reader is advised to keep up with them! Standard warnings from The Princess's Captain apply here, as well. See below for timeline information.
