Vlyka Velveteen has always been an odd-looking pony: short for her age, dark coat, and what usually gets ponies attention: the four sharp fangs in her mouth, two of which so rudely never sleep behind her lips. By age 15 Vlyka has gotten used to the odd looks, and while her confidence in herself has never truly recovered she at least knows how to put up with the odd looks. But, of course, such skills do not come from nowhere.

Time ticks back to six years ago, where a young, cutie-marlkess filly up in Baltimare struggles with herself. Adopted by a loving family, Vlyka can’t help but feel indebted to her father and sister for putting up with such a freak and trying to raise her well. The fangs in her mouth seem content to stay, marking her even more as abnormal, and by now ponies have realized she has strong senses of hearing and smell. It’s a win for Vlyka that nopony but her family knows about her color vision problems, as that would just be more fuel to the fire at this point.

A new school year begins with Vlyka, once again, being pushed forwards a grade. Unprepared for the grade skipping and cruelly still a grade below her older sister, Vlyka has been singled out by her new classmates as a prime target for terrorizing. Unwilling to burden her family with the news of her distress, Vlyka keeps her pain to herself. But the added strain grows, there is only so much that one young filly can take…

**Epilogue still to come, but I have to get further in my main story before its posted.**

This story is a sequel to Forming a Winter Storm

Life in Ponyville has gone on as normal, and the summer blizzard incident has faded from everypony's memory already. Winter Whisper and her now-coltfriend Midnight Storm have been getting along famously, finding their way through their first and odd relationship. But no relationship is without its bumps, and a few days ago the pair hit a rather rocky one. They have been fighting for days, and as their friend Crystal Lattice struggles to find a way to calm them down, everypony remains unaware that a far greater danger than a lover's quarrel looming literally on the horizon. Three mysterious shadows make their way towards Canterlot...

Bumped up to Teen rating for this one due to slightly darker tones through the entire story and one scene of non-cartoonish violence. Cover art again by the talented Sweet Pencil!

This story is a sequel to Frosty Fates

It's been all of two weeks since a freak ice storm in the middle of summer, but around Ponyville oddities are a dime a dozen. Winter Whisper's stopped getting strange looks, and life has moved on like normal...with the exception of her new relationship with Midnight Storm, of course. But for two first-timers in one relationship, things can be awkward and slow going for a bit. Will a step into a heart-pounding music festival help them find their hoofing?

Winter Whisper has long known there was something different about her. Her warm nature was long at odds with her cold touch and icy white coat. For a time, she was happy to let the mystery stand, content with the life she's chosen to live away from the suffocating grip of Canterlot and her parents' desires. But when Winter's past refuses to leave her alone, she'll be forced to contend with the changes, or lose everything that she's come to know and love.

As her life threatens to grind to a halt by an untimely visit from her parents, Winter's unusual ice powers grow out of control. Seeking to contain herself, Winter must journey far from what she knows, and hopefully find the source of what makes her such a different pony. The journey for the source of her magic may grow perilous, but will the love and support from her closest friends help Winter overcome the risk and find her place in the world?
