Written for One-Shotober.

Warning: The story you're about to read is currently unedited and contains some m/m themes, cultural misunderstanding and an awkward situation. And it contains some very minor spoilers of the episode: "Rockhoof and a Hardplace."

During the events of "Rockhoof and a Hardplace," the ancient hero tries out for other jobs to find out where he fits into modern society after the failure as a professor from the School of Friendship. In his stay in Ponyville, he decides to try out as a farmhoof at Sweet Apple Acres. While there and through a cultural misunderstanding, he thinks that Big Macintosh purposes something life-changing.

All from offering an apple pie.

Warning: The following story you are about to read contains the shenanigans of Braeburn and his father. It contains plenty of gay things that may be considered too much to someone that for whatever reason finds revolting. If you do not like it, you know where the exit button is.

You know how some relative of yours has that one story about you that you never once said and that they will repeat that story to every family gathering until they die? For Braeburn Apple, that story involves in the way that he came out to his father - Johnnieseed Apple.

The following is that account, told from the point of view of the father.

A special thank you to Maxwell_Edison for volunteering to edit this. As well as to TheWingman for reading the story on his YouTube Channel.

Being subtle isn't Rainbow Dash's strong suit. At all. So when Applejack asks her point blank what she thinks of Rarity, she doesn't hold back.

Not her best idea.

“I heard you two mention the sickness. Nasty business, that.”

Applejack set her jaw. “Yeah. It is. Lotta good ponies who did nuthin’ wrong sufferin’ from it.”

“Good? Seriously? Those degenerate colt-cuddlers?” Spoiled Rich chuckled. “Well as far as I’m concerned, it has only one thing going for it – it’s killing all the right ponies.”

An Apple family member makes angry demands of Princess Twilight in the middle of a personal crisis.

Trigger warnings for HIV, the AIDs Crisis, homophobia and death.

I started writing this back in early 2018. It took me three years to finish because of the subject matter and the fact it's a non-linear narrative. All I ask is that you give it a chance to make sense and it will.

Many thanks to my pre-readers who looked at this in its various stages over the past three years: Clever Hooves, Suni, TheLostNarrator and Neighrator Pony

[EDIT] Wow, this stayed in the feature box from June 29th 2021 to July 3rd 2021! Thank you all!

Warning: The following one-shot contains themes of M/M, a daughter's confrontation, and a father that's trying to explain himself. If you don't like one of these, you know where the exit button is.

Trixie was upset. Her father, Jack Pot is going to marry his stage partner, Big Bucks. In all those visits that Trixie had made since she had moved out, she had never once heard anything about this. Not just that her dad was dating, but was going to marry a stallion. However, on top of all of that, she found out through a newspaper that he was getting married soon. So Trixie took it upon herself to go to Las Pegasus to get some answers.

Truth or myth? Ancient lost civilization or just an old pony's tale?

No pony has ever seen one, and most haven't even heard of them. But Lyra knows that these wonderful creatures are more than just old legends, and she's going to find out... and possibly drive her roommate insane in the process.

This story is a sequel to Bride of Discord

Discord and Fluttershy are blessed with a daughter named Screwball, who is gifted with incredible power that attracts the attention of the Queen of the Changelings...as well as her son.
When disaster strikes that tears Screwball's family apart, it is up to her to bring it together again.

It is three years later and the Mane 6 have moved on with their lives, all except Fluttershy, who cannot get the draconequus out of her mind. The others are happy in their new and comfortable lives, until their enemy returns and will only relieve Equestria of his havoc in exchange for a bride.
