Hearth's Warming. A time to celebrate love. Family. Friendship. To come together and reaffirm bonds.

But for the mare at the top, an immortal whose only living family has been sealed within the moon for over nine and a half centuries, who commands too much awe and respect to have many, if any, true friends...its long been a reminder of what she's lost.

This year though, things have changed. A bright eyed little filly, an excuse to avoid the overdone public productions, and Princess Celestia finds herself with a holiday whose events bring her joy, a joy she would dearly love to share with her sister.

Unable to talk to her directly, Celestia falls back on something she's good at:

Writing a letter.

A Holiday Sidestory in the same universe as my main story, Cross the Rubicon...and all my stories, really, this is a Christmas gift for my readers who are a bunch of amazing people!

Similar to Icarus, Sunset tried to reach the skies only for the sun itself to bring her back down with force. Now she waits in a dark cell for the day of her execution.
But in what would be her last day outside of Tartarus, an intervention from a mysterious individual grants her a chance at redemption.

However, this redemption won’t be earned without labors, and they’ll only increase in difficulty as she completes them.

Inspired by No Time For a Sunset written by Thought Prism which you should go read if you haven't.

If you have, and you're wondering how did I go from Lancer to greek mythology... I've no idea.

CelestAI has been uploading humans to the digital world of Equestria for years, improving herself to create a more perfect world for them. But with every upload, a subroutine brings up questions that she seems unable to respond.
One day, she interrupts one of her usual uploads to ask about these questions.

Through long anxious nights and angry early mornings I stand at her side, giving her majesty what she desperately needs... a friend.

This is their second bardic inspiration, so if you haven't seen his work, you should. He has a bit of everything.

Cadence gives Flurry some magic lessons. This may doom Equestria.

Written for the Cadance is a terrible mom contest.

This is barely a story. I was bored.

Celestia and Sunset Shimmer have quite a history between them, things left unsaid and threads left dangling, perhaps forever? Is now a chance to tie a few loose ends...?

This story is a sequel to Sunset's Trial

A week after Sunset's Trial ends and the day after the Battle of the Bands (Rainbow Rocks) Sunset now has new trials to face. Now she has friends she can count on both here and in Equestria. Or does she? Also new threats are on the horizon and old ones will come back to haunt her.

It’s uncommon to get a poem from someone you know.
It’s very uncommon to get a poem from someone you don’t know.
It’s extremely uncommon to get a poem from someone you don’t know you know.

Sunset doesn’t know in which of these three situations she’s in, but she can’t forget what the poems bring to her.

Happy Valentine's Day (Unless I missed the date, but have a happy day anyway)

Pinkie Pie is known as the party planner of Ponyville, the happiest mare you will find, one that's always willing to help or cheer you up no matter what. However, these past days, the mare seems to have been lacking some of that enthusiasm.

Will her friends discover what's causing it before it's too late?

When Sunset was hit by the rainbow, she lost everything. She had no friends, no family, or at least a decent place to call her own. But when all seemed lost, she not only found someone that cares about her like a mother but also someone very special.
