This story is a sequel to A Guitar In A Thunderstorm
It's been nine months since Jackson's operation, and he hasn't been happier than he is right now.
Life has taken on a certain degree of normality for him: no monsters attacking Equestria, no famines or floods, no crazy misfired spells from Twilight.
This winter marks Jackson & Colgate's first Hearth's Warming Eve together, since it is the first major Equestrian holiday besides Nightmare Night he had observed.
And he wants it to be special.
However, an unexpected visitor forces Jackson to reevaluate his core values and make a few vital decisions.
