Cold Moon, Warm Heart

It's freezing outside. Luckily, I have a Princess to keep me warm.

Originally written for the Quills and Sofa's Oct 11 Panic, where I completely deviated from the prompt in order to write something cozy.

Something soft brushed the back of my neck, and I went stiffer than a maple tree in the dead of winter. I felt it slide along and finally settle, and a heavy presence press upon my back. I glanced over and saw the outline of a wing wrapped around my shoulder, the large feathers gleaming like an oil stain. Turning my head back to Luna, I found she was even closer, her back almost against my arm, with her wing stretched out behind me.

I kissed her again, this time less timid and sensitive but more passionately, wrapping my arms under her wings and bringing her in close. I felt her feathers shift and twitch, and her wings pressed down on her back to embrace me. It was a novel sensation, being hugged twice at the same time, and it made my infatuation even stronger.

I don't care how many times I've seen or read it. Winghugs. Are. Adorable.

I glanced towards her ears, which were stiff and directed straight at me. Years of writing fanfiction helped me know what that meant. She was nervous too.

Ah ha! I knew it would pay off eventually!

She glanced out the frosted window, staring at the torrent of snowfall as it assaulted the frame. “This world is chaotic and takes care of itself. There is no need to baby natural processes. No need to turn the night sky nor set the moon to bed.” She looked down at me and hugged me tightly. “I like it. It is strange, but there is freedom in having no control.”

Huh. That's a perspective that I don't see explored all that often.

All in all this was pretty cute. It gave me that nice, warm and fuzzy feeling that you get from hugging a pony.

That was a very heart-warming story, quite poetic in places too.

Somewhere in Canterlot, there’s probably a unicorn furiously scribbling headcanons about our world.

Lyra Heartstrings, right?

Brave. Very brave.

“Holding your feathers close to your body is…” (...) “It’s mwa ,”

I wish I could capture the mental image I had of that moment. That was one of the cutest moment I've ever seen.

It's cheesy to say but genuinely seeing this warmed the cockles of my heart. This is such an awesome surprise to see, and I'm so, so glad you enjoyed the story enough to give it a reading. You and Neighrator did a fantastic job on it too!! The whole thing is just so cozy and heartwarming to hear with the music and the voice acting and the background images, I'm legit just vibrating right now ^_^ Thank you one more time!!
