Sequel to Accidental Harmony

Several months after moving to Ponyville, Vinyl and Octavia are planning their upcoming wedding. With help from friends like Lyra and Bon-Bon, what could possibly go wrong?

Main Plot: Applejack tells her family and friends that she is gay.

In her youth, Granny Smith was part of the movement giving marriage rights to interracial couples. Could you believe that, just forty years ago, many ponies considered it taboo for a relationship to exist between a unicorn and pegasus? Nowadays it's a different story: interspecies marriages happen all the time, and nopony bats an eyelash... as long as they are different genders. It seems that since then, the prejudice has shifted direction towards gay and lesbian couples now.

Lyra and Bon Bon are victims of this prejudice firsthoof, but regardless, they still got married a couple of weeks ago. Upon their return, Mayor Mare- an avid supporter of gay rights- finds herself swarmed with grievance letters from the handful of anti-gay ponies living in Ponyville, which she addresses at a town meeting. The meeting... doesn't go so well. As differing viewpoints clash, many are caught in the crossfire, and buried secrets are revealed.

Derpy isn't the mother of her own children, for she is incapable of giving birth. For some reason, Mayor Mare slips into ancient Equestrian occasionally... and is the sister of her ex-husband. Applejack reveals to her family that she is a lesbian (which actually ends well). [this will be expanded on in future chapters]

Sex, drugs and rock'n'roll. While Vinyl and Octavia are familiar with the two former concepts, the latter strikes them as novel. Being jazz performers, they can't fully embrace or comprehend the newborn music genre. But now that their teenage daughter claims to be part of the new subculture, how will they deal with the inevitable generation gap? With the help of their neighbours Lyra and Bon-Bon they need to help their foal overcome the problems that always come side-by-side with growing up, and maybe... learn something new in process?

This is a sequel to The Snow on Her Cheek and takes place several years after the events of the story.

The stunning cover art was drawn by the amazing AcreuBall, who is also a very skilled writer.

When Octavia refuses Vinyl's affection for her lack of ability to bear a child, Vinyl discovers a way for the two of them to have a filly together. When their music gives birth to the child of their dreams, their lives are never the same as they discover what it means to be parents.

Rated teen for talk of sex and suggestive undertones.

I've been loved before. However, all that received love have I forsaken for the rest of eternity to come. I used to have the smile that everypony desired, but now that smile is a sin to look upon. For years have I blamed it on my past lover, but I realized that I was letting myself be deceived. I thought was fooled by the lover, but really, I was fooled by the sinner. It was my error to follow that demon, and now I'm here; lost in a maze of branching paths that lead to nowhere. I remember the time that we got our "cutie marks" together. I came to realization not too long ago that that mark on my side wasn't my "cutie mark", it was the Devil's Tattoo.

A chance encounter between Carrot Top and Rarity in the spa leads to what could be a very promising opportunity for the carrot farmer. In order to seize this chance, Carrot Top needs only to prepare some of her finest carrots for the fashionista, so that she may verify whether a celebrity friend will be willing to promote them. Carrot Top arrives to cook for Rarity, but though they begin with only business on their minds, as the evening progresses -- and the two ponies learn more about each other -- they find that they have far more in common than they thought.
