Hearth's Warming is a time of rekindling the fires of friendships and family, to remind others of the story of how Equestria came to pass. To be grateful. But not everyone is so fortunate in times of abundant joy where their life is cruel and uncertain. Eileen works with the shadows in her favor, always there when things go bump in the night. Purposely avoiding the ponies of Equestria but ever prevalent as a rumored shadow. Even the strongest-willed can falter, and Eileen finds that it is happening again in its endless yearly routine. Yet, to her surprise, there remains a small spark of hope within the scarring holiday.

This story is a crossover from a game called Bloodborne and features an NPC called Eileen the Crow. A twisted and dark game that tests the boundaries of human sanity. I have not written a crossover but I always loved the game and I still do. So I wanted to do something different, even if this particular crossover does seem—in my mind—a little bit strange or out of place given the situation.
