Thinking about Leo being trapped in the Prison Dimension and keeping himself warm through the power of his own ninpo - this ability is shown to us as a flame, after all, so imagine if, when he lets his mystic energy run through him, it warms him up, just a little.

In this desolate place, all cold and alone, he focuses on that flame and leans into its warmth.

He relies on it, and he realizes it that he’d relied on it too much when it goes out, and he’s once again cold.

(In another dimension, the Hamatos believe they lost one of their own.)

Excerpt from Chapter 17 of my LMK Successor AU

(The reunions of warm hearth)

Redson had never seen Mk shirtless before, let alone shirtless AND wet. Safe to say Redson had no clue Mk was that muscly, considering Mk spends 90% of his time at FFM. (In this scene, he is invisible using the Invisibility Jade)

(Btw it's not "oh he's no hot" it's "OH NO, HE'S HOT!!" Truly a "Don't dead open inside" moment haha.)

Twilight nuzzled back against her wife's chitinous body. Chrysalis chuckled as she pulled the blankets over them and squeezed her tightly. The alicorn queen nickered a sing-song trilling in the comfort of her embrace. She leaned back to give her fanged smile a soft kiss.

Twilight broke into a giggle. "You're still wearing the hat?"

"Well…" Chrysalis purred in a deep, honeyed tone, trailing a hoof along her wife's shoulder. "I'm still in a very giving mood, you see."

The couple shared a mischievous smile and a chorus of lascivious, breathy chuckling as they kissed again. "Oh, are you now?"

Chrysalis threaded her chitinous hoof through the spaghetti-strap of Twilight's festive red nightie. Her Emerald snake-slit eyes narrowed to a predatory, hungry low-lidded simmer. "Besides, you're still in this delightful little number. It only seems fitting."

They shared another kiss causing Twilight's crest of chest fluff to poof out from the fluffy trim of her top. With that, Twilight began to ooch and nuzzle, rolling about in her wife's hooves. The fabric of her bedclothes hissed almost musically as she cuddled. Underneath the heavy winter blankets she used her wings like long-fingered hands to guide Chryssi's hips and long limbs, finding her way to her favorite comfy position, draped in the armored creche of Chrysalis's much larger form.

The Changeling Queen-mother's snakelike tongue flicked playfully in Twilight's ear, as much playful flirting as tasting the rich, mature flavor of her wife's love in the air. Looking over the much smaller mare, she spied the trio of letters on the bedsheets, Hearthswarming cards and their colorful envelopes. Twilight had been reading over them when she had come to bed.

The first was embossed with the golden gemstone seal of their neighbor to the North, The Crystal Province. A photo of the royal family peeked out from the paper. In the glossy image Princess Cadance, her husband, Shining Armor and their royal daughter, Flurry Heart beamed. It was a scene of holiday joy as they lit a large Unity Beacon at the center of a gathered crowd. Though she didn't much care for either of her annoying in-laws, Chrysalis made a minor note of pride in their royal niece's development. She was still but a child but Chrysalis knew she would be party to great things, someday.

She snorted, clearing her senses of the unpleasant taste of Cadance and her Husband before looking to the two other cards.

They were the simple card-stock of much more common Hearthswarming greetings from ponies living much less lavish lifestyles, Twilight's parents. With a flick of her tongue she tasted the awkward mix of emotions wafting from each one. Having only separated within the last year the couple were still feeling their way around how to relate to their immortal queen daughter in their new lives as free and lone beings. The heady mix of parental love and the blend of guilt and joy found in their new freedom scented the paper like perfume and kerosene.

Mortal beings and their complicating issues.

Chrysalis nuzzled against Twilight, giving her ear a playful nipping. "Your parents are faring well, beloved…?"

"Well, enough…" With a soft shimmer of magenta light from her horn Twilight lifted a letter from one of the envelopes. "Dad's moved into a new apartment next to the observatory in Southeast New Canterlot."

"Staying close to his work?"

Twilight chuckled. "Well, that and his new… much younger, marefriend, named… Chloe… something…" She scanned her eyes along the page. "Chloe Acres."

Chrysalis chuckled, raising an eyebrow.

Twilight returned her wife's smirk. "Yeah. Some gal from Gryphonia he met locally. She's an aspiring amateur writer, stargazer and yes…" she huffed with a knowing grin "…a burlesque performer." They shared a laugh. "She sounds… eh…. nice. At least he's happy, I guess."

Twilight lifted the second card in the glow of her magic. "Mom seems to be settling into her new place in Manehatten. Hasn't found steady work yet but she's not really looking for any either. Seems she's mostly just enjoying taking several new classes downtown… modern dance, Neighponese calligraphy…"

Twilight lay in silence for some time. Chrysalis could sense the unease, questions in the air, circling about like the stars of stray magic trailing from her wife's mane and tail.

"I'm sorry, beloved. But you know, it's to be expected with mortal beings." She shrugged, dismissively. "They get bored, tired, ennui sets in. A few decades of their short existence with the same being and they're ready to move on to greener pastures."

Twilight rolled about to face her wife. As dismissive as it sounded, in her own way she knew Chrysalis was trying to be comforting. Her perspective as an ancient immortal being was something Twilight had come to terms with. It was an aspect of her she would eventually one day share. Though she was the de facto leader of the Council of Friendship and a Queen of New Equestria, one day she too would hold that same sense of care for others yet, from a certain unavoidable distance.

"I know. It's still just a little sad to see them apart like this." She tapped a hoof against Chrysalis's barrel. "But, they're not just MY parents. They're their own creatures and it would be horribly selfish of me to expect them to be the creatures I would want them to be. I need to let them be who they need to be to be happy."

She ran her purple hoof down the ebony chitin and clicked it along the opaque blue ridges of her wasp-like waist. "That's never going to be us, though, is it?"

"Never."

A pitted hoof lifted Twilight's chin to bring their eyes together. Staring intently, she held her pony bride, gently stroking the small of her back and the curves of her flanks. Her voice was loving, yet had a firmness in it, a certainty. She wasn't speaking to be reassuring as much as she was simply stating a known fact.

"In eons unspoken from now, I will still hold you just as tightly." The dark queen flexed her hooves, pulling their bodies together until they touched. "I will kiss you twice as deeply…" She nuzzled her chitinous ebony cheek into the navy waves of Twilight's mane. "And I will only yearn for you even more." She kissed Twilight's horn and hugged her tenderly into her barrel. "I will crave only you, long, long after Sun-butt and her flaming skylight have gone supernova and devoured this little pebble and her thirsty horndog sister's dayglow nightlight."

Twilight snickered, giving Chrysalis's rump a playful swat of her hoof. 'You butt…"

She caressed her partner with her wings, stroking the length of her shell, cooing and nesting into the comfort of her larger form.

"Happy Hearthswarming, honeybug, now and forever."

Chrysalis kissed the crown of her wife's lustrous navy mane. "Now and forever, my love." A gust of her emerald magic flame drew the curtains of their marriage bed shut about them, sealing them in their privacy. "Until the end of time."
