You, a human living in Equestria, get invited to a Ponyville sleepover full of ponies you've barely heard the voices of and know little info about. You accept the invitation, and at bedtime, you have a choice of which background pony to go with for a fluffy, cuddly night!
Contains a mixture of well-known background ponies and lesser-known ones that have maybe one or two stories on this whole site!
Story premise inspired by CategoricalGrant's awesome story Mane Six Cuddle Simulator. Check that one out too! Also, CategoricalGrant did grant me permission to use this idea, so big shout out for that!

It’s a bit random here but, I’ll go with Carrot Top.

Nice! 👍

Eh, it's okay, but there isn't enough cuddling.
10762203
Thanks for your feedback! You're right; this chapter didn't focus on the cuddling very much. I'll make sure to turn it up in future cuddle stories.
10762088
Thanks!
Uh... Derpy, I think
10763460
I haven't thought of what the cover could look like yet, so as a result, I haven't commissioned it yet.
10763630
Great choice! I really wonder why there don't seem to be any cuddle stories featuring her.
10764355
Maybe. The obstacle being that I don't really know how to do that.
10764124
To be honest... This is difficult... All these characters is OK for cuddling sessions:)
10764916
Nope... I can't even download Photoshop, in fact. My computer is a Chromebook.
10764752
They are, aren't they?
I did want to add an option in the introduction to say you can't decide, which would have triggered White Lightning spinning a wheel for you, but I couldn't think of a way to execute that in writing... like, how would the random choice work? Sad, I thought it was a cool idea.
My choice is with Lyra and Bon Bon
10766001
Nice pick! 👍
Looks like my request for comments like these has worked! And great to see you again!
I noticed you added the story to your Favorites as well 
Very wholesome chapter. The cuddels shall be doubeld
We need at least 5 times the amount of cuddles
Double cuddle?!
The fun has been doubled 
Perhaps trippeld
Now i feel sad
Derpy at least gets cuddles
Tummy rubs
10774295
Thank you!
What is this referring to? The Lyra and Bon Bon chapter?
10774300
Thanks for the feedback! Now that two commenters have said there isn't enough cuddling in the Golden Harvest chapter, I'm thinking there should be a story where you cuddle her again. How does that sound?
10774305
Double cuddle indeed! I don't know about triple, as all the cuddles were going to have two participants by default, but the fun very well could have been tripled!
10774319
Cuddling being what it is, I figured it was a good time for me to reveal my headcanon of Derpy's backstory and for her to spill it out to someone. But I hope I didn't make anyone too sad...
Yeah! I was excited to include her in this story not only because of her struggles, but also because I hadn't found a single cuddle story featuring Derpy and a human yet.
Yes indeed! That's part of my headcanon of Derpy is that she loves tummy rubs.
Thanks so much for the read and the comments; it means a lot!
10775144
Maybe add some cuddles or snuggels in her chapter and it should be fine
I have to thank for the story. Stuff like that is good to fall asleep to since its very relaxing
10775210
Well, I do already have a sequel to this story planned, and I'm liking the idea of the reader going to Carrot Top's house for more cuddles. Thinking about it now, I would like to make a headcanon on what Carrot's house looks like on the inside, and the reader going to the pony's house would probably be unique in the story. How does that sound?
You're welcome! Great to hear!
I like to read cuddle stories before I go to sleep too
d'awww :) so cute

Sprinkle Medley is a cute pony, isn't she?
Thank you so much!
This lowkey made my entire week
10785552
Really? So glad you enjoyed it that much!
10786589
It gave me those "warm fuzzies" that I'd been missing for far too long
10786969
Yay
Well, I'm stuck
... I cannot choose...
Must have images of ponies to decide!
Oh, wait, there was the link to the wiki...
...And, after careful (but somewhat quick...) consideration, we think, one named Sprinkle Medley (known aliases: Spring Melody, April Showers) looks interesting...
Actually may I call ou Piano Medley? Just because it amuses me so much
? This sounds way snugglier!
11043072
Nice!
11043150
Aww, cute. Lol. I mean, it does fit with the last name "Medley".
H-how about dancing in the rain?! Oh, it's a glorious feeling, eh?! To laugh at the clouds so dark up above, with sun in our hearts, eh?! Come on! "Let the sto-o-ormy clouds chase! Everyone... from the place! Come on with the rai-i-in, I've a smi-i-ile!.. on!.. my face! I walk down the lane with a ha-a-appy refrain!.. Singing!.. Singing... i-i-in... the rain! Pum, pum-pa-ba! Pum, pum, pum-pa-ba! Da-a-ancing in the rai-i-in! Na-na-na-a-ay, ta-bu-da-da-a-a! Pa-bu-ba-a-a, ti-ti-ti-ti-i-!.. I'm happy again!"
Careful there
!..
11043207
Nice work! That does sound like a song she would sing!
Uh... I think it's pretty obvious what I meant with the "wet" there, isn't it?
OK, is it all? The adventure's ended?..
'Tis a shame.
Cuddles... Could there be light tickling?.. Just light enough?.. My imagination is going off charts! We start to get playful, as we get to know each other more closely (innocently playful, mind you!). We attempt wrestling, but I am adamant, and she can't win. That's no fun, but the snuggling continues, and it is good! At times we both get apprehensive each of other's touches, uttering lines like: "Please, don't touch me there". To the outsiders it sounds hilarious. And Sprinkles shouts: "We're not doing what you think we are! Which we aren't!.. Doing..." And I: "Totally!" -- "No, stop that!" -- she adds. "We are totally not doing that!" -- I continue. "Darn you!" I may have deserved that one, because I've not realised I've sounded suspiciously specific, leading the outsiders to think we were in fact doing what they may have thought we were, which we aren't. At all. Please, it's all just cuddling, cuddling!
All in all we've had fun. Oi! We haven't had that since the last time we've snuggled! When was that, anyway?
Editorial notes: please, mind your tense. Is the narration done in present or in past?
Special thanks go for avoiding the "Anon" substitute name

..." -- "No, do tell!" -- "Guh!.. Suffice to say... he thought it a great pun 
!.." -- "What?.. Wait!.. Oh 
! Oh, o-o-oh 
!.."
"Oi, Piano!" -- I call her. "LOL, what? 'Piano'? Sprinkles, I think, he's confused the ponies..." Sprinkles facehoofs: "Trust me, you don't want to know
"Oi, Piano!" -- I proceed.
"Oi, X!" -- she retorts. "But I thought his name was Andy..." -- "A pun for a pun, an eye for an eye..." -- grins Sprinkles evilly.
"Cool, -- I answer, -- but 'X Ray' is not so good, as, say... 'Blue Ray', eh
?"
"Oh gosh darn it!.." Poor Sprinkles!
11043247
... Though I'm sure no perverted thoughts crossed their minds that night. Or any other night, at that 
.
Well, I know it was in the sense of "being drenched", but, combined with lying in the same bed and intimate atmosphere, all that... I started to pick up signs
Have you recognised the song I was alluding to
? It's "Singing in the rain".
11043328
Oh. No, I didn't know that was an already-existing song
11043275
Yeah, tense-shifting is definitely a mistake I have made. I make sure to pay attention to it nowadays.
11043272
Well, this is only one chapter. The other eight options do vary in things that happen
11043339
I'll consider trying them. At times I get lonely...
No, it doesn't. Pizza is evil
!
11044080
You talking about that scene where Derpy got hit in the head with a pizza box?
11044400
No, not really. I just dislike pizza. My quote was from another place:
"Oi, Andy! You've won a trip to a pizzeria!" -- "Feeling generous today. Feed the stuff to the famished. And take me to McDonalds!"
11044553
No food can be for everyone. Which is a shame, because that feeling when someone asks you if you liked the dish they made... and you didn't. Like, you don't want to hurt their feelings. Been dealing with this all my life.
How interesting... New year is nigh... and I cannot rest... A snuggle, maybe?..
Should be... feeling... elated with the holiday... But this night...
L-let us choose the next... "victim"... To... cuddles. And... hope to... cheer... self...
(Why can't there be Pinki-i-ie?.. Wait... Categorical Grant... Of... course
...)
Huh... Anything I'm missing? Why would it be difficult for two ponies to hug one human?..
Also: what in the name of hecks is a "triple spoon"
?
And... Shirtless??.. [shiver-shiver] Don't tell me. I know: they caught me off-guard and tickled silly.
No, wait... Hooves... I squirmed, but managed... They, however, could not run away from my fingers!..
Ah, Lyra!..
Thanks for the cuddles! Maybe, there is Pinkie somewhere to feel complete!..

Space, basically. Based on the scene from "Hearth's Warming Eve" with the 8-foot candy cane, adult mares should be about 4 feet tall, so the way I always imagine it, with a standard hug, one of the two ponies, trying to wrap around the same area, would end up pretty much just hugging the other's front legs.
And then there was the part of this chapter where Bon Bon was to move each leg lower and higher to free up space for Lyra to wrap around in the middle, but they had to switch sides due to Bon Bon's left leg going on top. Laying at the reader from the right, she would have had to cross her front legs over each other, while laying on her side at that.
Now there's something I didn't explain. A triple spoon would be that somepony is being spooned, and the big spoon there is also being spooned. So the one in the middle is sandwiched and being both the big and little spoon at the same time, albeit to different ponies.
Lol, what? There isn't any tickling in this chapter (though there is in some other chapters) and Lyra clearly explained her motivation
Lol. Great work 👍
You're welcome! Writing this story was awesome!
11097992
...
I am sorry, but your explanation still is somewhat confusing
Why would there be difficulties in hugging, if a person wraps his arms around the cuddlee? One wraps above an invisible line, the other wraps below it. Their hands (hooves here) go between the cuddlee and the other cuddler. Where are difficulties from
?
The other explanation is just as confusing
... "Spoons"? Not actual spoons, perhaps 
?.. And... how does one even "spoon" a pony 
???
