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!

After a mishap with a falling star, Princess Luna crashes into Ponyville, only to be saved by Big Macintosh. Overly grateful, Luna calls upon an ancient contract which binds her to the draft pony as his personal servant. Can Big Macintosh co-exist with an overzealous moon goddess, her creepy assistant, and an army of evil looking guards long enough for Twilight to find a loophole to get him out of the pact?

Due to a typo on her permit to build a new barn, and the meddling of a recalcitrant bureaucrat, Applejack is stuck running a bar, at least until Mayor Mare gets back to town.  So sit down and have a drink in Ponyville's least likely watering hole!

Everypony knows what happened to Princess Celestia, the bride and groom and the Elements of Harmony on that fateful day, but that can hardly be considered satisfying to those who are curious. Where were the rest of the guards? What was the Queen's army doing before the attack? And why in Equestria did Luna not help during the battle? All this and more shall be revealed!

Following the events of "The Strange Destiny of Prince Blueblood," our semi-hero's life has been flipped and turned upside down.  Despite his attempts to start over fresh, however, his past—both recent and distant—keeps coming back to haunt him and the ponies he cares about.

This is the story of a young pegasus stallion, or you specifically. After the passing of your mother, and your ever increasing distant father, your brother has never felt safe in the cloud home. Afraid of heights and normal life in Cloudsdale, you decide to abandon your former life to start a new one on the ground, in a town called Ponyville. While there you find a cute mare that runs the local post office who goes by the name of Ditzy Doo.

When Twilight Sparkle accidentally transforms Rainbow Dash into a stallion, Rainbow's entire life is flipped on its head. He has to cope with changes in his body and his friends. How will this affect his budding romance with Applejack? Are Rarity and Fluttershy suddenly giving him the eye?

Twilight Sparkle is working 'round the clock to find a way to break the spell, but will she be able to make time for Big Macintosh?

Our heroes scamper to piece together the fragments of their lives after the events of The Prince and the Workhorse. Will the loose ends continue to fray, or will some degree of normalcy return to the citizens of Ponyville? Find out as the story unfolds in RAINBRO DASH!

Some ponies just shouldn't have kids together...

After a few events during Sweet and Elite were taken too far, the latest arguments between Rarity and Prince Blueblood are about their filly.  The two are perfectly content with ignoring each other.  Despite this, this plan doesn't work out quite like they thought it would when it is revealed that it isn't just a few jilted mares that aren't fans of Blueblood.  The entire Blueblood family is being targeted by a secret circle who wants to see the downfall of the bloodline.  Starting with the newest addition.

Can two ponies who hate each others guts work together to save their filly?

Let's just say your luck with the mares isn't all that great, two months in Ponyville and you've had your heart stomped on more times than you can count. That coupled with the fact you've lost your job, your house, and have barely enough bits to feed yourself means your life isn't exactly going so great.  And after another botched attempt at a relationship you're ready to swear off of the whole dating game for good.

But after a night of drunken debauchery you awaken to find yourself in the service of Ponyville's premiere fashionista, your willing to forget your previous pledge to the single life after she proves herself to be the kindest and most generous pony you've ever met, but only time will tell if she'll be your future lover or the next in line of a long list of mare's who you'd rather forget.

Blueblood just wants to run his charity and be left alone, but High Society - and starry-eyed mares - have other plans.

He's not a good stallion, but maybe he's a better one than even he would guess. Now if only he'd stop being so cynical...
