Pyrefly is a hard-headed, fiery young pegasus with a penchant for racing and partying with his friends. His sister, Ice Dancer, is a quiet, intelligent young unicorn always in her brother's shadow. After a long and troubled life as the son and daughter of two great, influential, and sadly deceased pony artists, Pyro Technic and Snow Shimmer, the two siblings settle down in Ponyville. Once they're settled in, strange things begin to happen in Ponyville around them, and these two otherwise unremarkable young ponies are in for a wild ride as they're sucked into a terrifying fight for their lives and their sanity against the madness that consumed their home and their parents five years earlier.

Princess Twilight Sparkle travels to the Crystal Empire to visit her brother, Cadance, and their new foals, Il Bolero di Fuoco (better known as Bolero), and Gleaming Shield. When her train ends up derailed due to the snowstorm, she ends up somehow trapped in an ice cave, in a raging blizzard, with none other than Flash Sentry. Can these two star-and-dimension-crossed lovebirds thaw out the chilly Frozen North with their love, or are they doomed to freeze to death wandering aimlessly through the snow and hail? When Shining Armour finds out his sister's going out with a royal guard, can he accept it for the love that it is? Or will he totally flip a table?

The song "Vanilla Twilight" belongs to Owl City.

BEFORE ANYPONY ASKS, YES, "IL BOLERO DI FUOCO" MEANS "THE BOLERO OF FIRE" IN ITALIAN. I LIKE TO PLAY ZELDA GAMES, SHUT UP, GO AWAY, IT'S A BADASS NAME FOR A PONY.

When Big Mac's mother and father died, Mac was forced to drop out of school to take care of work on the farm. As such, he never got the chance to learn how to read. It had been a lifelong struggle for him, until accompanying Apple Bloom to Parent Teacher Night provided him an opportunity to learn. As Cherilee teaches Mac how to read the words on the page, he also learns how to read the words in his own heart. Mac never realized that being able to read would give him so much happiness, until he realizes that it's Cherilee he loves, not just the books. He realizes that anything is possible as long as you have the support of somepony who loves you.

NEW EDITION! RE-EDITED AND PARTIALLY REWRITTEN! YAY!
Big Mac X Cherilee, nonexplicit, sweet fluffy oneshot. Somewhat different than my usual tone, but I needed a fluff piece to keep me sane. Also, THERE IS NOT ENOUGH BIG MAC X CHERILEE FICS. FIX THIS, SOMEPONY.

Discord's reformation has left him both elated and confused. He didn't really know how to be anything other than a villain. Wandering around the castle one day, he experiences a flashback of his life before he became the villain, when he was just a silly teenager in love with a woman far out of his league. His flashback paralyzes his body and causes him to whack his head off Celestia's throne, concussing him and leaving him bedridden until he recovers. He requests a visit with his only friend, the pony who reformed him, Fluttershy. As Fluttershy tends to Discord's wound, Discord starts to feel a strange tug in his heart that he thought he'd never feel again. It doesn't make any sense to the draconequuis, but then again.... What's the fun in making sense?
