This story is a sequel to Dash’s Little Big Secret

It’s been five years since Rainbow Dash and Big Macintosh became a couple. It’s been five years since Applejack put their relationship in danger. It’s been the best five years of Rainbow Dash’s life. She and her boyfriend had spent so much time together over the past five years, and now that she is fresh out of college, she decides that they are ready to move in together!

It’s a big step, but the two both believe that the time is right. However, Sugar Belle, a young, beautiful, and sweet woman introduces herself and Rainbow’s neighbor and later discovers that Big Macintosh moved in as well. It turns out that both Big Mac and Sugar Belle have dated, and have a very special bond.

What does this mean for Rainbow?

If you asked Big Macintosh what he liked about a pony there would be very little about Vinyl Scratch that would fit the bill. That's probably why he doesn't really like her. You might even say he detested her.

Then again, he hardly knows her.
Nothing that a bit of forced confinement can't fix.

Written for the Straight Shipping group 'A disagreement of sorts' competition. Yes, I couldn't think of a better name, sue me. Also written on a very random prompt from a friend who sarcastically said 'I ship it' when he saw a picture of Big Mac and Vinyl somewhere vaguely near each other.

For the first time in a long time, the Apple Family Reunion is being held somewhere other than Sweet Apple Acres. Big Mac decides this is his chance to finally have some time to himself and volunteers to stay behind to look after the homestead. But time alone doesn't mean that the chores can be ignored.

Berry Punch has had her eye on a certain stallion for a while now, and with his family out of the way, it's the perfect chance to test the waters.

Big Macintosh came back from the war a changed stallion. Giving up on civilized society and became a drifter roaming the highways until he found brothers in the Luna Angels.

When the gym class teacher breaks her leg during a martial arts session, Principal Celestia and Vice-Principal Luna have to turn to someone they didn't want to turn to from the beginning.

Gunnery Sergeant Hartman.

Rated 'TEEN!(?)'
Expect swearing. Lots and LOTS of swearing, and also sexual humour.
Set within the Equestria Girls universe. Set before events of Sunset Shimmer's downfall.

Takes place sometime after Magic Duel in a human au with slight canon divergence.
On a seemingly routine delivery, Big Mac encounters Trixie in a small isolated cabin. At first, their interactions are strained and awkward but with each encounter, the pair learn about each other and themselves.

When Luna becomes the target of an attempt against the Equestrian Throne, it will take all the strength of a certain pony to confront and defeat not only the evil that threatens, but the fear he holds deep within himself. Will the magic of a Princess be enough to save him? Or will they both be dragged into the abyss of a dark conspiracy?

Relationships are hard. It can be the bond between friends, the blood held in common with family, or the love between lovers. All are equal complexity and take time and work from all ponies to maintain. Sometimes that breaks down and a pony has to find away to come away as unscathed as possible. Scoots faces such an issue. Meanwhile Rainbow Dash must confront her own fears and come to understand how connections can change. Mac just goes with the flow and tries to hold everything together as stoically as possible, but even the most even tempered pony can be driven a little mad by a silly thing called love and its compactions.
