Twilight's an Alicorn now.

What have I done?

A mare's voice, tucked away in the fleeting recesses of an everyday breeze, finds three certain fillies from Ponyville.

Best viewed in Light or Medium-Light.

Applejack expected a heartfelt reunion when she went to visit Dash. She expected to hear stores of how the fastest flier in all of Equestria was faring after becoming the poster pony of the first major war in hundreds of years.

She didn't expect to find herself painted onto the side of an airplane.

Inspired by the cover picture (link in the source).

It’s Hearth’s Warming Eve! The stockings are stuffed, the cookies are out, and the presents are wrapped. Everypony all across Equestria is preparing for a whole day of gifts, giving, and family togetherness. There’s just one slight problem.

Princess Luna hates Hearth’s Warming.

Only adding to her misery is the fact that she, not her sister, will be playing the part of Lunushka, flying around Equestria and delivering gifts to all the good little fillies and colts. With bumbling Shadowbolts, crazed children, and a mysterious scrooge who wishes to put an end to the annual holiday hindering her every move, will she be able to deliver all of her gifts before she brings Hearth’s Warming to a screeching halt?

Her first stop is Ponyville. Let the yuletide shenanigans begin.

It's Cranky Doodle Donkey's birthday! A whole evening filled with party and cheer is sure to await the crotchety old mule on this annual holiday. But when his plans for a quiet, peaceful evening alone go awry courtesy of one pink party pony, he is forced to confront the unfortunate reality of his old age.

Why bother celebrating when the people you want to celebrate with are dead and gone?

The Great and Powerful Trixie does not trust wheels.

"Why do you think Trixie acts the way she does, Twilight Sparkle? Why do you think she became a showpony in the first place? She does it so she can be remembered. All the good Trixie did, all the bad Trixie did--it was all so her name would never die out, even after she herself had. She will not allow herself to be used as a catalyst for some greater scheme, then tossed to the wayside to be forgotten. She will make the world remember her name."

Years after her humiliating fiasco in Ponyville, a pacified Trixie returns to try and find closure with the ponies she hurt the most. But time has wiped the slate clean in more than one way, leaving the showpony forgotten, nothing more than a fading memory in the minds of the townsfolk. Will a mare who devoted her whole life to being remembered find solace in the vastness of her impact? Or will the loss of her hallowed image tear her apart?

Octavia wakes up one morning to find that she can’t play any of her instruments at all -- It’s almost like her cello wasn’t meant to be played with hooves in the first place! Together with Vinyl Scratch they must figure out what the hay is going on around here.

Or maybe they’ll just end up breaking Octavia's cello.

After a very stressful day visiting her prized student in Ponyville, Princess Celestia is left alone to contemplate and watch the sunset. From an outsider's perspective, she has everything she could ever want. But has she ever really had anything at all?
