The Return of Nightmare Paring Knife (A Hearth's Warming Special)
The Nightmare Paring Knife has returned at the worst possible time, Sweetie Belle's magic is spiralling out of control, and Hearth's Warming is falling apart everywhere. The CMC are up to the task! What could possibly go wrong? Everything. Again.
Reading the prequel is recommended.
Hearth's Warming Day is approaching, and Luna is finally getting settled in to Ponyville so she can start to guide Sweetie Belle in her new magic. But with Discord's antics grating on everypony's nerves, the unprecedented return of the Nightmare Paring Knife, the sudden appearance of the extremely annoying but also oddly endearing Cor Cantae Amoris, and Sweetie Belle's increasingly uncontrollable magic, will this perfect Hearth's Warming be all it's shaped up to be?
Probably not.
This story takes place post-S4. Twilight Time does not exist in this universe.
