It's Hearthswarming! The fireplace is lit, the presents are under the tree, and you are sharing a cup of hot cocoa with your best friend. How could it get any better? Well, if you ask Rainbow Dash, the answer is to venture outside in freezing temperatures and throw balls of frozen water at one another until you are soaked and suffering from hypothermia, or something like that.

For a mare that doesn't have a reputation for thinking things through, you doubt she has a plan to warm up after it's all said and done. Tonight, though...she might just surprise you.

Update (October 2023): I commissioned Redruin to do a 10 page comic for this story! Check my blog post or derpibooru to see it!

Anon is obsessed with Rainbow Dash and has decided to confess his feelings... in song form!

A Call Me Maybe parody based on this video.

Rainbow Dash isn't what many ponies would consider attractive, but, somehow, she's managed to score a date with a stallion. Now she's at the restaurant, waiting for him to show up.

After a long and gruesome day of training, Rainbow Dash is exhausted and wants nothing more than to go home and get some much needed sleep. This time, however, she doesn’t want to spend the night alone. Instead, she invites Soarin over and asks him to stay the night. He agrees, and the two Pegasi get closer than ever.

SoarinDash fluff and cuteness. Nuff said. Rated T because some content may not be suitable for younger readers. No clop though, so don’t you guys worry.

When Rainbow Dash starts screwing around on Hearths Warming, Starlight Glimmer accidentally casts a spell that makes her far more serious and profound. While things seem okay at first, the situation with Rainbow's new personality quickly devolves into a huge mess, one that Starlight and her friends will have to fix if they ever hope to see their favorite brash pegasus again.

12/27/22: Yes, finally, a story I wrote was featured on the homepage.

Before Snowfall Frost could erase Hearth’s Warming, two spirits had shown her visions of the past and present. A third spirit, the Spirit of Hearth's Warming Yet to Come, now takes her to the future.

In this city filled with snow, fog, and powerful streetlights, Snowfall Frost overhears a conversation between two old friends: Trixie, a brilliant artificer, and Rainbow Dash, Inquisitor of the Order of the Sun. And Snowfall learns what truly desperate ponies will do for survival…

An alternate scenario for A Hearth’s Warming Tail and inspired by Frostpunk.

Written for Bean's Writing Group prompt 35, "An unexpected factoid about magic".

A man is mistakenly taken from his home after a botched experiment and is stuck in Equestria as a creature called a hippogriff. After Princess Celestia fails to return him back to Earth and back to his original from, and after some time feeling angry and depressed, he decides to buy an old Cabin Cruiser sky ship and embarks on a journey to explore every inch of the world and live out his days in solitude.

At least, that's what he thought he was gonna do until he meets a unicorn named Tempest Shadow. Join Maverick as his quest of solitude turns into a quest of adventure, treasure hunting, romance, and doing whatever the heck he wants with his pirate crew of misfits called the Sky Pirate Cowboys. (He didn't name it. Stop laughing.)

Pinkie Pie invites everypony in Ponyville to her wedding, and with Princess Celestia as the SDIG (Super Duper Important Guest). Including Rainbow Dash, of course. She doesn't mind to go until she hears Pinkie Pie set up the rules.

One, any pony who attends Pinkie's wedding would have to bring a partner of the opposite gender with them. Two, the lucky mare who gets the bunch of flowers at the end of the wedding must come up on stage to kiss their partner.

Rainbow Dash isn't really comfortable with both rules. First, she doesn't have a partner. Second, she doesn't want to catch the flowers.

Given that Pinkie's wedding is in one month, Rainbow only has one month's time to find a partner...and a dress for the wedding.

Soarin's life is perfect, that is until he meets a certain Rainbow maned mare. As he begins this journey called love he must ask: Is she worth it?
