This story is a sequel to An Apple Doesn't Fall

She's absolutely everything anypony could dream of, and she only has eyes for him. But the harsh reality of a future with Luna weigh heavily on Big Mac's mind. Love conquers all, but can it mend the gap time will leave between them?

(This story truly belongs in a "Drama" category, but there is no such thing. Also, as an E-rated tale, certain things are left to the imagination.)

Ruler of an empire. Wife. Sister-in-law. Champion of love. Cadance has many roles, and for one day a year, she gets to shed them all and just... be. So when the sun rises on Hearts and Hooves day and her beloved Shining Armor is nowhere to be found, the pretty pink alicorn starts to see red. And Tartarus hath no fury like a pony princess scorned...

Big Macintosh, scared of a comment that Granny Smith wants grandfoals (*ahem* great-grandfoals *ahem*), runs through the door and down the road. Through a series of events, he ends up accidentally dating Princess Luna without realizing it.

This is a short story that was originally to be written for the prompt:
2015 February Super Happy Hearts and Hooves Lovefest Fanfic Event, or SHH&HLFE for short...
However, I didn't make the deadline because the story grew larger than time permitted for the deadline.

Tagged 'sex' for some comments/language, but no sex happens.

Big Mac is strong, supportive... and silent. The model big brother, he's always there for Applejack and Applebloom, never asking for a thing in return. Together, they keep Sweet Apple Acres afloat. But was that always his dream...?

(Don't miss the sequel: "Your Beautiful Mind.")

Age does not necessitate wisdom, and Luna feels left behind in a world that kept progressing in her absence. A relic in a modern time, Our Lunar Lady faces the last hurdle in her redemption.... Forgiving herself.
