There once was a filly who believed, and her belief made her follow her dreams, so that she may show the world what it has overlooked.

Author's Note:

This is an Alternative Take on "Snowdrop" by Silly Filly Studios. I do not own the character. This was written in one sitting as a challenge to myself to see what I could come up with. As such, it is not perfect - but I am happy with what I have wrote. I hope it is interesting enough to be worthy of a read.

This story is a sequel to Past Sins

Hearth's Warming is a time for friends and family to come together, celebrate harmony, and welcome the new year. Nyx is looking forward to just this as she rides the train to Canterlot with Spike and Twilight. She's going to meet her extended family for the first time and wants nothing more than to make a good impression. Yet, the sheen of the holidays can't hide the trouble caused by meddling grandparents, relentless reporters, and a paranoid uncle.

Snowdrop does not care for the food in the castle. She wants something special, something interesting! Luna is skeptical, but anything for her filly.

Written for Brony-wan-kenobi for Jinglemass 2023

Twilight and Pinkie Pie's friends are out of Ponyville to get more citizens for the Hearth's Warming ceremony tonight. When they head outside, they've encountered a pony who's never been around like other creatures but unlike them, It's been centuries since she left on her own.

Twilight felt curious on why she's here as she invited the visitor into her castle. When she and Pinkie Pie learned who she really is, they're not only surprised, but so will Celestia and Luna when they see her.

Radiant Hope thought she could save Sombra from himself. Instead, she lost everything.

Alone and hurting, Hope finds her way to Seaddle and tries to settle down into a quiet and obscure life where she can be left to her sorrow. That is, until she crosses paths with Starlight Glimmer, who realizes that Hope could be the key to setting her own dubious plans into motion. They may not like each other, but before either of them knows it, a series of events launches them on a perilous journey along the western coast of Equestria and they must depend upon each other to survive.

Enter a devotee of Starlight's who takes this whole "Equality" thing a little too seriously, a quack doctor with an ego the size of Manehatten, a wandering lunatic that's convinced he's Starswirl the Bearded, and a secret agent intent on protecting the princesses at all costs, and things get complicated rather quickly. Everypony has their own agenda and nothing is what it appears to be. Through it all, Hope and Starlight will be forced to take a hard look at their lives and the choices they've made. But if they can manage to make peace with their respective pasts, our heroines might just have a shot at that rarest of things; redemption.

(For Radiant Hope, this story diverges at the conclusion the Siege of the Crystal Empire arc (Issue 37). It diverges between The Cutie Map and The Cutie Re-Mark for Starlight Glimmer.)

A year after Nyx's first Hearth's Warming, she and her adoptive mother Twilight Sparkle are back in Canterlot to visit Twilight's parents... and, as Nyx learns, to take a tour of Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns on the teacher's workday after school has let out for the holiday.

Unfortunately for Nyx, not all the faculty is as good at teaching as Princess Celestia... or, for that matter, as good at not being a pest.

And why does Superintendent Spell Nexus, the pony who created Nyx with forbidden magic, keep turning up? (Well, besides the fact that he runs the school.)

An unofficial story in the Past Sins universe, set a year after Winter Bells. Written for Brony-wan Kenobi for the 2022 Jinglemas story exchange.

Part of the Remember Fort Libris print anthology, thanks to our Kickstarter supporters!

Snowdrop has led a happy life as a mother, teacher and snow maker for Equestria. But now at the ripe old age of ninety seven, a retired Snowdrop takes a trip to Canterlot at the invitation of a school teacher who wishes for the old blind mare to talk about her life being blind and creating the beautiful stars of winter.

Nearing the end of her days, Snowdrop takes the time to be with her family and friends, visiting Princess Celestia, returning to her old school and lamenting the loss of her best friend. Accompanied by her granddaughter, Snowdrop makes the best of what she can with the little time she has left.

As an immortal alicorn princess, Twilight Sparkle has lived for a long time. However, her friends were mortal ponies, and they eventually all died. A hundred years after they have all passed on, Twilight can only think about them, and how much they meant to her. Now that they are nothing but memories, how can she carry on?

The answers she seeks may come from a most unexpected source: another alicorn, one who once threatened to cover Equestria in eternal darkness, but whom Twilight considers a daughter. With her help, Twilight might just find that she is truly not alone.

This story takes place after the events of Magical Mystery Cure and Past Sins, which was written by Pen Stroke. Nyx and Past Sins belong to Pen Stroke.

This story is a sequel to Canterlot Has Fallen

Time marches forward in Equestria, and yet the allure of "what if?" remains. Twilight wonders about the "what ifs" as she tries to guide Equestria to a bright and prosperous future. Cadance wonders about the "what ifs" as she sees her daughter growing.

The power of "what if" tempts once again, but are the little ponies really ready for the answers?

Celebrating the 10 year anniversary of Past Sins! Thank you all so much for letting me and my stories be part of the community!

This story is a sequel to Glimpses

It was supposed to be a simple day for Shining Armor. Take his daughter, Flurry Heart, and niece, Nyx, out to run some errands while his sister and wife handle preparations surrounding the Festival of Friendship. It was supposed to be a day of fun, relaxing activity. Yet, after the arrival of an invading army, the day would be anything but pleasant.

Can Shining rally the defenders of Canterlot to oppose Commander Tempest, if only to ensure he, Flurry Heart, and Nyx can escape? Or are they doomed to be captured and possibly turned to stone? 

No matter what happens, it’s a day neither Shining Armor nor Tempest Shadow will ever forget.
