When winter's thaw comes at last, we all learn to move with the tide of the melted snow. We learn to continue our lives from what we once had before time had stopped the best that we can. For better or for worse, we follow the flowing water wherever it might take us.

Following the events of "Melting Snow", Caramel and Big Macintosh continue to explore the depths of their relationship, the two growing closer with each passing day. The days feel short, spring approaching as the seeds of the apple fields are planted one by one, roots sprouting as they firmly plant themselves comfortably into the new soil, ready to sprout and explore the world.

Caramel's cutie mark is rather strange one; his special talent is supposedly spreading luck to himself and those around him, but in more than one form. He is new in town, and the shy earth pony is finding job-hunting and making friends a little difficult. This all changes with a chance meeting with Sweet Apple Acres' resident workhorse and the aftermath of Applebuck season leaving the farm short on labour. As the months pass, a strong bond of friendship is forged between to two stallions, and all kinds of shenanigans ensue.

Caramac shipping ftw!

Contains: Caramac, friendship, silliness, sappy stuff, mild fluff and coltcuddling. If you find any of the above offensive or not to your liking, I bid you good day.

Caramel's life could be considered a simple one at best, but a boring one at first. He's never been one to easily make friends, that's for sure. He sticks to himself mostly and attempts to stay out of the way of the lives of ponies around him. It's easier that way. Simpler. Talking to ponies is a challenging enough task on its own merits, but romance? He's never dreamed of romance.

Of course, that all changed when Big Macintosh entered his life.

Spike & Discord have happily been ruling the Chimera Kingdom for years & their son Draco is 5 years old now. While raising a child & running an empire are rewarding, it can also be tiring. So the trio decides to take a break & spend some time away. Where would three magical royal beings go on vacation? Ponyville of course! Draco hardly ever gets to see his extended family now that they've all settled down. So bags are packed, plans are made & fun will be had! What could possibly go wrong?
...
Probably a lot actually.
This is the sequel to Love & Entropy if you don't read that this won't make any real sense.

Big Mac has been dating Spike in secret for a few months now, and they are finally ready to make it public. But how will things go for this shy stallion?

Written for the Hearts and Hooves Day event on EqD.

Set ten years after Season 4. So yeah, Spike is a fair bit older!

Spike and Macintosh have taken the next step in their relationship and are soon to be wed. Spike can even enjoy the comforts of his younger days thanks to the cooperation of his friends and family. However, a startling event just a week before their wedding may upset the future they have together, or possibly make things infinitely better. Only time will tell.

Cover art isn't final, just there until I find something better.
