A shared connection saw them brought together. By accident, by no intention of their own, but lives crossed paths all the same.

It took so long for them to even say hello. Continuous conversation grew slowly, and a real relationship required sorrow as soil. Growth came as time went by.
But now it's good- perhaps even better than good; a little sweetness within each word.
Maybe, if given a little nudge, it could be something new.

My 2024 Valentine's Day special. Enjoy!

It had been an accidental falling-in that had brought them together. Sort of together. Velvet's divorce, Sunset's break-up... it was an awkward thing to know that failure of a relationship had helped them bond. Remaining in the only city they'd ever been able to call home, perhaps it was inevitable that their sorrow should not be endured alone.

But now comes their first Christmas. And tonight's date night is more intimate than before. All it would take is a single moment for the sparks to truly fly.

Part Two of my 2023 Christmas Special. Enjoy!

She's seen dozens of graduating classes go beyond her realm. Graduate and pass off into adulthood, move from her aged classroom and to bigger and better things than what high school could offer them. If their life peaked here, it was not because of her; it was always best to encourage more than a teenage life. But watching so many settle for so little grated Cheerilee to her core.

She'd studied for years to tend to others. Her medicinal skills were perhaps not as fine as the greatest surgeon's, but she knew human anatomy. To heal wounds, to comfort terrified souls, to dispense medical knowledge that would benefit those about her; Redheart was as capable a comfort as she was a clinic, and nothing this school could bring her had managed to best her yet. But to deal with the excess of teenage stupidity and bravado when so many seemed intent on wounding themselves was despairing.

It was tired to watch the world go by, growing older alongside you. Maybe they just needed a breather, and a whispering ear.

Part One of my Christmas special. Enjoy!

She was taught to fear the creaking of branches above her head. Nightmares consist of wandering through the trees in flight, pursued by a horrendous shape just out of sight that would be her end if it caught her.

Flurry Heart knows the rules of peace that keep her village a harmonious place, as well as the laws that keep them all alive:

No one is to enter the woods.
An offering will be left at the edge of the woods during every full moon, and an offering will be retrieved every new moon.
Those who enter the woods will be made forfeit to those within, and they know not the meaning of mercy.

Never has either side dared to breach this uneasy peace, and thus each continues to survive- perhaps even begin to flourish after so many dark years of struggle they had endured.
Until now.

The hill in the park was their favorite place to be alone together. It had memories attached to it, potent and benign in their own unique way. Maybe not always good, but meaningful; moments worth remembering and keeping hold within.

When there were days that piled up and saw their world become exhausting, they had a place to retreat. Theirs alone, and nobody else allowed. And always just when they would need it.

Dedicated to those who downvote my stuff just because. Thanks for the constant attention.

Sweetie Belle is all grown up.

It feels like a lifetime has been spent as both child and teenager, though her family insists it passed by in an instant. She is a true adult in the eyes of herself and the law. So, of course, it's high time she starts to enjoy grown-up things.

Including the Gala! An invitation with her name on it is the perfect beginning of this new life that lies before her, and how much fun will it be to enjoy. A night of celebrity. Of excitement! Of romance! Oh, how could she resist?

Though she doesn't have a date, and every invitation offers a plus-one.
And she'll be the only one of her friends without. Hmm.

The Canterlot High Halloween party is a longstanding tradition. And often a bit of a dud, but who expects quality entertainment from a school, anyway?

It will be fun, it will be frightening, it will be the best party she's ever conjured! Armed with her expertise and the help of her friends, even preparing the festival is sure to be a blast.
After all, why shouldn't everything about a party be fun?

It's been a long month. Some days feel more like breaking points, and Cadance wonders just how long the weariness will linger.

"So where are you going?"
"With you."

It's a phrase Rainbow Dash has heard nearly every day of her life. Wherever she roams, Fluttershy is sure to be trailing behind. The quiet, fearful girl running along after the one who never seemed to know fear. It hadn't changed in all their years, despite everything they'd seen and done.

The thought that it might change was a little too frightening to think about.

Twilight Velvet wanted to reconnect with her daughter.

A little forgiveness could go a long way; maybe time would need to flow through and heal the wounds further, but it would need to find a way to start. She wanted to speak to her only daughter with peace in her heart- and to her daughter's beautiful bride as well. They were miles upon miles apart, but perhaps that old bitterness could remain rooted no longer.

Well... at least she thinks so. But maybe that isn't quite correct. Or maybe it was something else that went wrong. But- wait, what was she saying?
