When Coco asked Rarity to help with costumes for a Hearth's Warming production, Rarity was more than happy to oblige. But with tales of a haunting and strange noises in the halls, is anything really going to be that simple?

Fun, dramatic, and teasing one of my favorite ships!
It was quite kind of them to put on a play for him to a part of.
Nice one getting this all done! The play went smoothly, and the OC fit well with the two established characters. Gershwhinny was a good name choice!
You know, I can't help but wonder whose idea it was for Rarity and Coco to play those... particular parts. Not that I'm complaining, mind you.
Anyway, that was delightful - a Jinglemas Ghost story and a thoroughly entertaining read. Thank you.

Thank you! The play was a lot of fun to write, once I got into it.

I'm super proud of Gershwhinny. I was looking up Broadway theatres in an attempt to come up with something I could ponify, and I discovered Gershwin among a list of purported hauntings. The pony himself went through a few iterations as I tried to figure out what kind of ghost he would be. Initial idea was much more dangerous, but I really like the direction he ended up taking.

Aw, I'm glad you liked it! I'll tell you, it was a very fun idea to come up with. I burned through so manyideas trying to nail down the play part, and finally I decided to just pull out as many tropes as I could and ham it up for Hearth's Warming haha. As for the roles, who knows! Gershwhinny is probably a sucker for a good romance, so maybe he wrote the play
Fun!

Thanku!
A sweet little slice of life, cute and tidy enough to be an episode itself. Well done!
