One evening, Twilight Velvet, book editor for Hoovesbury Publishing and mother of two, meets her newest client: aspiring writer Sunny Skies, who writes of distant lands and people from across the world, who has as many secrets as Celestia has loving subjects.

It didn't matter to her much, so long as Sunny did her work, and Velvet hers. But as the seasons pass by and their acquaintance grows, Velvet finds that perhaps she and Sunny are more alike than she could have ever imagined.

Set before Season 1.

A filly Twilight Sparkle forgot to bring a book to read on the train, and now faces a horribly boring afternoon...

Or, she does until she notices another filly reading. Surely she can sneak a peek, right?

Twilight Velvet and Night Light have a night on the town with their family. Although, the small stamp of an 'Elder's Discount' sends Velvet into a spiral. When did they become the old ones? And are they next on the chopping block? Logic says so. And it terrifies Velvet.

For the longest time, Celestia had spent Hearth's Warming Eve the same way.

Alone.

Well, at least until a certain purple filly comes along.

It's the most wonderful time of the year, and in Canterlot, that means it's time for the biggest Hearth's Warming parties in the nation. Going by the Gala, enough formal splendor is sure to attract Princess Celestia's attention.

Isn't it?

My gift to Petrichord in The Incredible Amazeballs Jinglemas Secret Santa Compilation, now with corrected typos that I really should've caught the first time around.

Twilight Velvet gave birth to two kids and didn't expect much out of the ordinary. But when your kids grow up to save Equestria multiple times, it becomes very clear to the rest of the world that they are extraordinary. That means a lot of fame for her kids.

And a heck of a lot of irritation for her.
