Ok, that went way better than the first time, at least until sunshine caught up with him.
Paperwork for Christmas. 😂
And Page describing Celestia…. Totally how I would describe a completely platonic friend.
Awesome. I can just imagine the response letter page will write to all the concerned ponies.
I 𝓕𝓾𝓬𝓴𝓲𝓷𝓰 LOVE these characters!!
Hilarious, I love the description of Celestia's reaction. Good grief though, it's a good thing this isn't the Triptych Continuum, or the Merdocks newspapers would have had a field day. That said, the reaction of a certain trio of conspiracy theory obsessed earthers would have been priceless.

To be fair, the last time couldn't have gone much worse, short of permanent maiming or death. And yeah, definitely 100% platonic with no suppressed tension.
No major grammar jackboot moments to report.
Well at least this time Page didn't get smacked with a sun, but his horn will be hurting from all the letters he'll have to write.
from the title was thinking this was a spin off of the "Batty' series with Nightingale

I wonder how Celestia would react if this actually somehow ends up in the newspaper. Front page, of course.
...IN THE ROYAL OFFICE...
Celestia: Page. You want the official reason for the sun jitter to be "Princess Celestia wrestled the sun away from a tropical baboon dog with a monkey-hand tail"????
Page: It worked for Daring Do!
Celestia:
Excellent! Chrysalis had me in stitches!
Grammar jackboot:
Chrysalis finally nodded, “Agreed,” she finally said before adding, in sotto tone, “it would be… nice to be away from the cold of the surface.”
Hah, completely blindsided good ol'Chryssie with that one
I wonder what Chrysalis will gift Page with...?
Cozy Hearthswarming fic is cozy
...PAGE LEAVES THE HIVE THRONE ROOM...
Chrysalis: ...do we really have to go?? Just YOU is not enough for the pony alliance?
Skitter: Mother. You said it yourself long ago: "For the good of the Hive, a bit of our dignity must die"
Chrysalis: Yes but I was never expected it in the form of pony winter gear!
Skitter: This scarf is nice tho...look! The black on it is patterned like tiny changelings!
Chrysalis: *glares at the scarf* ...curses that's cute...stupid predator!
Page, you are inviting disaster!
Chrysalis has absolutely stolen the show with this miniseries, as with all your other characterisations, she's superb. This has been a nice little interlude and I eagerly anticipate the next book. Merry Christmas Hiver!
Grammar jackboots:
Should be: 'and Twilight Velvet, who was currently'
tapping hooves with
There's a missing word and I'm not sure what its should be.
Merry Christmas to everyone waking up to this chapter!
Oh nothing, she just saw the same thing that pretty much everyone around has been seeing for a while
And a Happy Hearth’s Warming to you too
Somebody PLEASE make art of these scenes I beg you
They need to do it every two years just smash like 3 days out of the schedule 2 years in advance
...LATER ON...CHRYSALIS STARES DISAPPOINTINGLY AT THE PRINCESS OF FOOD...
Cadance: ...what?
Chrysalis: As much as I loathe extra competition, I know what I taste. HOW is it so difficult for you get the Fire and the Predator together?!
Cadance: I'm been trying!
Chrysalis: Well you been failing miserably! That potential love energy between those two alone would be enough to feed my Hive for a season!
Cadance: At this point, those two are MOCKING me with their stubbornness...
Chrysalis: Perhaps a different approach is needed.
Cadance: Hmm?
Chrysalis: I'm not wasting the possibility of a future food source. Good old changeling manipulation is required for this task.
Cadance: ......keep talking. I'm listening.

Put them in a cocoon together until they fess up!
11096566
Aye I know where this one is goin, lemme grab some snacks
oh snap, missed the update, time 2 read
TOTALLY!
ANOTHER train delayed!? This time involving the line to the Crystal Empire.
*Suspicious Kevin is supicious*
Cadance and Shining better set up patrols to keep a look out for avalanches, ursa majors/minors sleeping on the tracks, yetis--oh, yeah, Storm King is dead, so definitely keep up the alert for any revenge acts from them--, mysterious snowdrifts & mountains of snow suddenly appearing on the tracks in the middle of nowhere, and other snow-related hazards.
Otherwise, good times to be celebrated by Page and all the friends he's made over the years!
they're doing the thing where they move one piece then the other declares checkmate in 25 moves aren't they

The Storm King isn't dead in the Blank Page storyline, he was forced to surrender after he attacked during Page and Luna's wedding through Page giving him nightmares everytime he fell asleep. The nightmares were set on a spell that was cast upon him entering the unconscious world during the book Complications.

The 'get em, boys' always makes me laugh.

Now that I think about it, the Storm King still being alive means the Hippogryphs are still trapped underwater.
They should probably do something about that.
No regrets. :D
11108433
Wait, The Storm King is dead? Whe did that happen? Last I heard, he'd basically given up...
11144071
Dammit!
I keep mixing up Hiver's story arc with Goldfur's in trying to remember which one is the one where he's dead and which one is still alive.
Pinkie Pie: "Oh, I guess we can think of the Storm King as in kind of a quatum state? "
Kevin Lee: "Shut up, Pinkie! You're NOT helping!! "

Good story, I can't wait for the continuation

Essentially what Deadpool was so confused about.
"McAvoy or Stewart? These timelines are so confusing "

Exactly!

There's also "Twilight gets a Puppy" where he was imprisoned in stone
I missed that story start...
But now i enjoy it anyway
What a glorious chapter
Page snuggels his place into the Changelings hearts with kindness and cute presents
So short yet so cute.... ♡
Time to read the sequel now
This was really good. I'm sorry I missed it until now. I'm glad Page made it back to Equestria for Hearthswarming. This story was as warm and sweet as hot chocolate on a winter's eve. Thanks for this.
(“Do you have any idea how many letters I’m going to get about that sun jitter?”)
None because newspapers in the morning will be a formal announcement quoting 'sorry I sneezed'

Don't forget greasing the hooves of the commoners with chocolate

Wasn't in this story line mentioned that was one of the few things they enjoy tasting physically was Chocolat ? Nice detail
