Fluttershy prepares to move to Ponyville with Hearth's Warming only a few days away.

Written for Malthus Freud for Jinglemas 2019.

For years, Double Take has been the most-wanted criminal in Equestria. No other thief has taken as much fine art and jewellery as him. On top of that, his contacts on the other side of The Gate, in the human world, have made it worth his while to smuggle gold across the interdimensional border.

So when it comes time to escape the heat, there's no better place to escape to... right?

In the oldest park in Canterlot, a painter brings the last church in the city to life in oil on a canvas. She does so in a trance. There are ponies who think the Temple of the Moon should be demolished, but she's not one of them.

Take a look into the Kaleidoscope.

This story is a sequel to The Horizon Behind Us

Silver Star is only just recovering from a magical ailment that gives him unexpected spell surges. After a night of strange dreams based on a recent tabletop roleplaying game, it transpires that he's not... quite as cured as he seemed.

And now he has a problem. Well, two problems.

This story is set in the Optimalverse, and I strongly recommend reading the other stories in my continuity first.
