Every year, Dinky is part of a big Hearth’s Warming gathering, and this year she impulsively decided to invite Lily Longsocks, her fillyfriend. Of course Derpy says yes; the more ponies, the merrier.
The only problem is, Dinky hasn’t mentioned that she and Lily are more than just friends, and she’s worried what Derpy might think.

Very nice! Always happy to see a good story of Dinky
“I almost got sick of cookies.”
Derpy nodded. “That’s how you know we’re doing it right.”
Best line :)
Oh my goodness! This was so cute! I love it!
You perfectly captured Dinky and her mature for her age innocence. Lily is also really good, and the talk about family is the cherry (Berry) on top.
Thanks so much for the gift!
Awwwwwww, this is cute.
Like, so perfectly cute and warm.
Best line right here, that sounds soooooo Derpy.
I like how you kept her father secret, like let us imagine who it is. An accent like that... Lucky Clover maybe?
I really enjoyed this one. I have a real soft spot for derpy sparkler and dinky and always like to see them done well.
Nice :)
Parents do know alot more than children think they know. An enjoyable slice-of-life :)
Very cute, though I got a bit confused between Berry Punch and Berry Pinch (her daughter?)

This was obscenely adorable and I loved it.
I smell a rat, or possibly pony sisters are very different from human sisters.

I'm guessing Santa Hooves.
Cute
So I wonder how long Derpy has known? Let’s see in the next chapter.
Knew it. Her mother has known for a long time.
Calling it here.
Dad is Santa Hooves.
A very good sweet story
Wonderful stuff from start to finish. Thank you for an adorable Jinglemas treat. You always do a fantastic job of capturing the close-knit community feel of Ponyville.
Jonathan Young & Caleb Hyles: *deep breath, music starts* Onnnneee Punnnnch!
Yes, that is where my mind went.
And now I know how to use the word pensive in context, thanks, that helps.
Lastly, you did not fell me cuteness this time Admiral. T'was a valiant effort however.
10595386
Thank you! And you’re right, it is. Dinky’s adorable.

Thank you!
Dinky is mature for her age, I think. Mostly ‘cause she’s got a good mom and good older sister. And family is the most important thing.
You’re welcome!
10595488
Thank you!
It is totally something she’d say.
10601274
What can I say, she's my favorite fily! And never saw that pic of her before
10595875
Berry Pinch is not good at keeping secrets
10595982
Yes; she’s also, sometimes called “Ruby Pinch” in fanon (although there’s some debate on if that’s actually a different pony, since there’s a similarly-colored earth pony filly Berry’s been seen with [I think in Sisterhooves Social IIRC]).

Correction made; thank you!
10595998
Thank you!

I figure that in general they’re more protective and honest with their little sisters, although of course that could vary by age gap, the pony’s mood, and the pony in particular.
10596214
Thanks!
10596284
Parents always know more than you think.
10597348
If there was a one-punch filly, it would be Lily.
You’re welcome!
I tried my best . . . here, have this:

He could be anypony. He might not even be from Ponyville (especially with that accent).
10595525
Thank you!
10595877
They do indeed.
Thank you!
10596041
Heh, wouldn’t that be a twist?
10596287
Of course she has.
10596383
That would be a twist. . . .
10596653
Thank you!
10596755
Thank you!
Aww, thanks!
You know, it reminds me of where I was on Christmas . . . not with my family, unfortunately; instead, I was working at one of the group homes and took one of our residents to visit his dad and sister. They’re not well off by any stretch of the imagination, and yet they offered to feed me as well, since I was there.
10601282
She is! I just came across that one and, well, it was too adorable to not share.
10601338
Fair point. Keep up the good work!
10601318
Someone here, and I don't remember who, they wrote a crossover where in Saitama goes to Equestria and he and Lily fight.
It was epic! And they both had a lot of fun.
It's on my recommended reading list.
I also recommend listening to the English cover of the OPM these both Johnny and Caleb did, they are awesome.
Awwww! That picture is sooo cute! I want hug all three of them.
10601322
it's probably never going to see the light of day, but the first fic idea I had was an OCxDerpy fic. It's changed a lot over the years, but that's still the foundation.
10601809
Heh, I know that feel.
Sometimes you can kinda repurpose the ideas that make up the bulk of it and work them into something else.
10601427
Ooh, that could be interesting. I’m not really up on OPM, so there’d probably be a lot that went over my head. . . .
10603445
Not really. The writer, which is Emperor, did a really good, to the point job of showing who Saitama is.
What's more, very little time is spent in OPM's world, just long enough for Saitama to get out of bed, see the portal, get dressed, leave a note for Genos, and go through.
Everything from happens in Equestria until Saitama goes home.
The Title is The Caped Badly vs Lily Longsocks by the way.
It was fun to read it again.
10603442
Honestly, I'm not likely to actually write a fic. There's some pretty big gaps in my skillset that I'm not sure how to cross and writing just isn't really my thing. I'm more into the worldbuilding side than writing side and I'd rather do that. I have some fic ideas that are more in that direction and those are more likely to actually have anything written (still not likely though). The fic isn't really developed enough to have a bulk to re-use but I did manage to re-use some characters.
10603456
Hmm, I’ll have to give it a look. I’ve hung out with Emperor and he seems like a cool dude.
10604790
He did a damn fine job writing the story.
Aww. That was so sweet. Glad I finally got around to read it... Thanks for the smile.
