It is Hearth's Warming Eve in Equestria, and the four princesses are having a private gift exchange for themselves. In what seems to be a spur of the moment decision, Princess Celestia gifts Twilight a nutcracker doll and tells her the Legend of the Nutcracker Prince, a story about a pegasus captain who was trapped in the form of a nutcracker doll.
Twilight initially dismisses such fanciful talk, but deep down, something about the story resonates with her. The doll intrigues her far more than a simple toy should, but when she falls asleep that Hearth's Warming Eve night, she awakens to find herself face to face with the very being she believed wasn't real, and now she must help him escape the curse. But there is far more to breaking the curse than she originally thought. But with this knowledge in mind, can she save the cursed stallion and return him to Equestria?
If this doesn't ring a bell.
Why is this in the League of Legends group? o_0

I put it in a folder for member, non-League related works.

Hey! When's the next chapter coming out?
5420540
When it gets done. I had a full day yesterday, and I'm not fast enough to get 5k words in one day on a dime. I'm working on it though.
However, it's no longer a Christmas special, but a holiday special, but I'll get it finished as soon as I can.

You do realize that the first Sunday in January is the last day of the holiday season.

12 Days of Christmas. so a more accurate day would be Monday. Basically, I have 12 days to get ~12k words written. And considering I'm about halfway through C2, I have faith. But let's face it, better to get it done late than never at all.

True enough
When is the next chapter coming out
5507941
When it gets done. As I noted in my most recent blog post, I was about 2/3 of the way through it, I'm now about 4/5-ish. Should be in the next week or so, unless something unexpected happens.
great chapter!

Can you add a brief summary of what happened to Winter Storm and Twilight during those two years?
This story was amazing. I absolutely loved every second it took to red.

It's been done, it's right after the "Two Years Later." Just a little paragraph and a half, but I think it will suffice.
Could you please do a sequel?
Pretty please?

I would need all of several things, not the least of which is a premise I can work with. And I already gave them plenty of closure. So... probably not. They got their happy ending.
it was a good story, I like that you inverted the beginning with the end, it makes more sense to me anyway.

Google "tvtropes bookends." Big fan of them.
I got to that point and literally couldn't continue for about a minute.
