Twilight's Traveling Tomes! 📚
"Cocoa, check. Book to read, check. Heater, check. Alexa playing fireplace sounds for a fun illusion, check."
"I'm sorry, I didn't catch that. Mind repeating?"
"Nothing, Alexa."
Doot doot doot.
One snowy winter evening in Pennsylvania, novel enthusiast Zach lied in his apartment nestled on a sofa with a good book, being bathed in the warm air of a crackling heater while enjoying a nice cup of cocoa. A perfect and chill time, nothing stopped the fiction fanatic from immersing himself in the literature.
Squeak. Squeak. Squeak.
Until the faintest noise of what sounded like a wagon in desperate need of an oil treatment slowly wheeling by outside. Setting his book down, Zach moved to slightly tug the door ajar, spotting a blue snow-covered wooden cart on wheels timidly inching his way.
"May I help you?" he asked.
Stepping from behind the cart was a small purple unicorn with fluffy but frozen wings, all fashioned in a fuzzy quilted cap and scarf. Her shivering demeanor alerted the man.
"Oh, my goodness!" he gasped, guiding the chilled creature toward his home. "You must be freezing, come in, come in!"
Shaking the bits of snow off her cap, the alicorn shuffled inside, her creaky cart in tow. Inside, Zach pushed the door shut and went quick to fetch a blanket for the poor baby once he sat her by the heater.
"That better?" he cooed, flicking the remaining pieces of ice from her fuzzy cheek.
The alicorn nuzzled her face into his inviting hand, purring low. She stepped back to shed from her frostbitten clothes, fluffing out her lovely colored hair.
"Aww, I love your hair."
The pony flapped her stiff wings, her uncomfortably cold expression melted into one of appreciation.
"So, what brings ya, tiny pony? Whatcha got in the cart?"
With enough strength to move, the human's company dusted a blanket of snow draped atop the cart's vibrant sign to show a curvy line of text.
Twilight's Traveling Tomes, the sign glistened in the light.
"Ah, well it's wonderful to make your acquaintance, Twilight." Zach smiled, giving a slight bow. "Can I get ya anything? I got cocoa still brewing in the kitchen if ya want some."
Twilight rubbed her tummy with a adowable pout.
"I got you covered, sweetie. Don't you worry."
Zach fetched a quick cup of hot goodness for the mare, who happily gave tiny sips to her beverage and proudly wore her chocolate mustache high for all to see.
"You're a silly thing, aren't ya?"
"Pffft!" Twilight blew a friendly raspberry.
"Hmm, tomes. You mean, like, books, right?"
Her ears raised, Twilight went to open the large cabinet doors of the cart, plucking a book in her magic and placed it in the human's hands
"Heh, you must really like books, huh?"
The immeasurable energy manifested from the magical word sent a sharp tingle to her horn, its wave traveling along her smol form to trigger an untamed amount of tail wagging. Geeked out beyond the point of no return, she nudged the book closer to Zach.
"Oh, you want me to have it?" he tilted his head. "I'm always down to add to my collection. How much do I owe you?"
A slip of folded paper is levitated atop the cart's wooden counter.
📚 = 🤗🤗🤗
"Books for cuddles?" Zach read aloud. "What a strange deal you got there, little pony."
Twilight gave a playful shrug.
"You must still be chilled to the bone, it's the least I can do. You're my guest after all."
A tiny squee later, the gleeful alicorn was already clinging to the amused man's legs, squeezing tight. Lifting her up, Zach held her by the armpits, bestowing the cuddly critter with a generous Eskimo kiss to the boopable nose.
"I'll be sure to tip you well." he winked, swaddling the little thing in the blanket.
Curled up in his long arms, Twilight's sparkled eyes mesmerized Zach as she settled in her cozy position. "You are just cutest thing! Who's an adorkable silly filly? Who is it?"
Twilight squirmed a hoof free to poke the blubbering goof's nose.
"How dare you, you're the one that's supposed to be booped!"
Boop, Zach retaliated.
"There, how ya like that?"
A mischievous smile graced the alicorn's face, she managed to grab ahold of Zach's affectionate hand and proceeded to nibble along the fingers with adowable "nums."
"Heyyy, what are you doing there? I am not food, silly!"
"Mmm!" Twilight hummed, nibbling further.
"Nuh uh, I am not 'Mmm'-worthy. Come here, you."
Twilight's crimes against humanity costed her dearly. What befell her was a near-endless assault of cheek kisses and swift booping on all sides. Zach sat on a nearby rocking chair, unfurling the blanket to scratch her squishy belly, her smol hooves kicking around in pleasure. Her guard down, the sneaky human took a deep breath and...
PFFFFFFFT!!!
The loudest raspberry known to man and ponykind echoed throughout the apartment, Twilight erupted into a giddy whinny as she wrapped her arms around Zach's neck in a thankful hug. The deed done, Twilight sat up in her friendly customer's lap.
"You're the sweetest little pumpkin," he hummed. "I wuv your cuteness."
A heavenly glow grew upon Twilight's cheeks. Her transaction complete, she slid down Zach's legs and pushed the cart with her magic for the door.
"L-Leaving already?" the man rose up. "It's still cold out there."
Twilight let out a meek sigh, hanging her head.
"You can stay the night if you want. It'll start getting warmer tomorrow anyways, lemme keep you cozy. I insist, Twi."
Her stature more uplifted, the pony was quick to hop back into Zach's lap as he sat down in the chair. He chuckled, waving his new book teasingly. "What do you say we rest with a fresh book?"
Twily smiled wide, lightly stomping her hooves under the cover before nuzzling into her kind host.
"Okay, here we go. Once upon a time, in a land far, far away..."

"Wonderful company, just wonderful. A HUGE nerd for literature, but that's a plus in my book!
5/5 Bookhorses!"

The only way this would've been cuter is if Twilight built a book fort.
...well I need to go check my blood glucose now, but still, very well done.

Hey, hey, slow your roll.
Not trying to kill anyone, there's enough sugar in your systems.
You just had to use Twilight as my weakness. So cute and yet so cruel all at once.
Is this it? Is this how humans will die... from cute little ponies that want cuddles and kisses?
11223514
Apparently
Ooh unique and precious!! I love!!
My blood sugar levels are probably through the roof by now...
11223514
worth
You're the best! Thank you so so so so much!
11223709
Aww, of course!
This makes no sense, but I like it.
11223716
If it's 'cuz people react casually to colorful ponies, that's what the world is like. 🙃
Trixie could offer magic shows for snuggles.
EEEEEEEEEEEEE!
The cuteness continues.
We've almost got to 100 likes! Spread the word!
Edit: WE MADE IT TO 101!!!! LES GO!!!!!!
This chapter is amazing.
Also, am I allowed to publish my original version of the Luna chapter as my own fic? I'll cite you as inspiration.
Oh good lord, that is adorable, I love it!
good to see more smol

Reading a bit too deep here.
11223965
I suppose it fosters friendship, and as we all know, friendship is magic. So perhaps magic is a useful commodity for ponies of various types?
I dunno, but let's not have a back and forth on anything.
11223946
I was going to ask the same questions you did, but I was scared for some reason.
11223965
And as a min wage retail worker, I'll tell you to take those opinions and shove it and enjoy the sushi.
Mini Twilight pulling a tiny wagon with books to give to others.....That's a mental image that gets an A+ for Adorable.
So this is how I die, by cute adorable smol ponies.
Hmm maybe this death would be the best
The cuteness cannot be contained!
I still can't get over how wholesome and cute this is, even after several rereads.
I see it now, Cadence coming over to comfort lonely people on valentines day with boops and snuggles, Trixie doing a magic show for some love, or even Celestia coming over to make your day a bit brighter with warm, sun cuddles and kisses!
Did I mention Rarity coming over to give you a spa day and cuddles, or Pinkie Pie baking a cake for your birthday, only asking for a hug in return?
One can get an endless high off cuteness witth this anthology. Keep it up!
You really want to murder us all with cuteness, don't you?
By the end of this ponies will have taken over Earth and no one will be able to resist.
THAT THUMBNAIL IS THE CUTEST.
11224336
If this is the way Earth will be taken over...I'm kinda looking toward to it.
The level of cuteness in this story has reached weapon's grade.
Get me scp-999 he needs to see this
Like and Favo, totaly follow this dawww flavored heart attack
They are Changelings 100%, love is power and food...
That would be why (Changelings Bug-Waifus are best)
Trading goods for cuddles is an odd, if cute idea. One might excuse this kind of thing as fluff, but there is potentially a legitimate reason for this strategy.
Silent changeling takeover?
11229589
Nope, though that would be a crazy twist. 😅
Literally explodes
Arrrggg heart attack! *falls over smiling*
