Although there are a few Fluttermacs, experience one that follows them through the twists and turns of a relationship, testing their love. Will it last, or will they break from the intensities of th the rigorous events thrown at them by the world and society?

It's a few weeks before summer, and Ponyville is at it's calmest. That is, until Big Macintosh and Rainbow Dash announce that they are dating. No big deal though, it's just some mildly shocking news. How will their friends and family react? How will the whole town react? One thing's for certain, nothing bad will come of this at all, in any shape or form. That is guaranteed.

...Right?

AN: Official sequel to Fun. It is not necessary to have read that story before this one.

After two long grueling years, the stallions of Equestria have returned home from the great war against the changelings, and Ponyville is thrilled to have them back. However, after seeing the horrors of war can they really return to how their lives used to be? Dedicated to all the soldiers who have fought for us.

It's been two months since Twilight and Big Macintosh started dating, and what a wonderful two months it's been. As their relationship blooms, Twilight finds out through Applejack that not all of the Apple family may be keen on a relationship that includes one of their own kin, and a unicorn. Worried about their future together, Twilight asks Big Macintosh for the biggest favor she can think of...to visit his entire family, and see if they can't break old traditions.

This is the sequel to Sparkling Cider, my first fan-fiction. It isn't necessary to have read Sparkling Cider to understand Old Traditions, but it certainly wouldn't hurt!
