On Hearth's Warming Eve, Fluttershy has a warm cottage and a friend to keep her company. So why can't she stop staring out the window?
This was written for Akataja as a part of Jinglemas 2020. Their request was a story involving Fluttershy and Big Mac.

That’s very nice. Apple stoicism... it’s important to take care of yourself too. And to be able to show your pain.
This was very nice, thank you very much for that story :) it warmed my heart ^^
Hahaha! This is ABSOLUTELY my family and I when we play monopoly!
I feel like Monopoly with Discord is a much different game, with moving miniature pieces. Like that Dungeons and Dragons episode? Maybe the game would actually be interesting if I could look over my not-so-vast empire and wave at the experienced players who somehow have hotels on the Boardwalk and Park Place already...
My grandfather used to shovel the snow while it was still snowing. To this day I'm not sure why he did that, but there is something admittedly peaceful and satisfying about shoveling snow... when you've got nowhere to be, of course!
This is important, and honestly I don't know if I've read many fics about this aspect of the kindness and what Fluttershy thinks about it. It's interesting that you've brought it up (and it's so true, though it can be hard to know when people secretly want help but don't want to ask, or if they really do want to be left well enough alone for a bit.)
Make my heart break a little, why don't you?
This is an interesting take on honesty. You and your great ideas today, I swear!
Feels a bit too real, with the hell of a year we've had.
Dang, this is a great line.
I love this fic! It's really heartfelt. 10/10 for holiday feels, you've captured something I'd spend twice as many words to fail to get across. Your writing is so wonderfully relatable I can't help but add my thoughts!
Perfectly heartwarming. Thanks for writing this.
This was a great heartwarming story, covering the "one of Stirling's parents die" premise you've done before, but looking at what follows after. This has great portrayals of both Fluttershy and Big Mac, and the bit of Discord we see.
Aww man, this is damn-near heartbreaking. It hit me once she exited the door just exactly what was going on, but I didn't realize the time difference until she mentioned Stirling and he Sugar Belle. What a rough way to be alone. Kudos, dear author, for that wonderful Fluttershy and the slight philosophy you had going on. Soothes the heart warmly.
Omc, a fimfic that almost made me cry. That was powerful. You're a powerful writer.
Very nice story, and fitting for this snowfall. Thank you for writing this!
loved your story 🥰
