Button Mash didn't ask for much for Hearth's Warming Eve. He didn't ask to have his life upended, his home left in tatters, and to spend his evening packing to leave Ponyville forever.
On the other hoof, he also didn't ask to sit next to a stranger on the train, to be given her charity far more than he deserved, and to find in her a kinship he didn't expect.
But sometimes, you can find warmth in the most unlikely of places.

I really enjoyed your story and the unusual pairing of older Button Mash x Tempest Shadow.
While I've never quite been in that situation, I know the feeling of not belonging in a place. You captured that really well, so kudos.
That was cute, thanks for the story, made me all fuzzy inside.

Very happy you enjoyed it.
That was very sweet! I didn't know what to expect with the challenge of bringing in a good story from such an uncommon pair, but it works so well, especially with Button pretty much giving back to Tempest and more with his offer of settling down. And while this isn't marked Romance, it felt like a natural conclusion to their friendship, both the start of it and the end of it into something more...
I don't have much else to say! Thanks for this fic on friendship especially through a tough time.
