All my stories end with the word "gullible." No really, check them out!

After suffering a back injury, Big Macintosh returns to work at Sweet Apple Acres. But after he comes home late yet again, he begins to see how he is taking things a little too quickly... and how he is not the only one hurting because of it.

Rated for sensuality and adult themes. Rating changed from Mature to Teen.

Not sure how this earned 5 downvotes. It was charming and romantic. There was a lot of Mac and Shy awkwardly avoiding talking to each other, but that's just the nature of the characters. Have a Like.

I'm thinking some of the downvotes might be the ship. Discoshy/Fluttercord is way more popular right now, after all. :twilightsheepish: There could be other reasons for it, too, though I wish the people who downvoted it could tell me what they didn't like about it. I'm sure there are things they could bring up.

Thanks for reading, and I'm glad you enjoyed it! Thanks a lot for your comment(and your like!).

Though, I won't lie... it is a little frustrating to see that many downvotes right from the beginning like that. I know this is a mature-rated shipfic, and I have no issues with people wanting to downvote my stories if they feel so inclined, but... it kinda feels like some of them didn't even read it. :ajsleepy:

But oh well. That's life. You read it and enjoyed it, and that's what matters.

I personally have no idea what those who down-voted this. I found wrong with it, except maybe the shipping choice (which I personally love, by the way). This was a well-crafted story with a no visible flaws...not even a spelling or grammar error that I noticed for ponies' sake! It was loyal to the characters' personalities, and was actually well-structured and paced unlike so many stories on this site.


I loved this one - it had heart and a charming quality to it that literally made me 'd'aw'. For that, have a like and fave, Oh, and one of these for good measure. :moustache:

Thank you so much! I'm glad you liked it!

This actually failed to pass with a T rating? I've read many T rated stories that were 20 times more explicit then this.

shipping politics, man. I swear some people are only rating based on the character tags. I thought this was a wonderful little story. Very concise and very emotional and just the right amount of sexy. Two thumbs over. :moustache:

Yeah, I didn't really get it, either. Didn't want to dispute it, though.

It's okay. I'm a little bummed about it, but I can sorta see why people downvoted it. It's not super explicit, and there isn't any actual clop in the story despite the fact that it's rated M, and as such people probably shot it a downvote when it wasn't what they expected.

I'm still a little ticked that this didn't pass with a T rating, though. I feel like it kinda doomed this thing from the start in terms of votes.

Alright, so I got to change the rating of this fic to Teen, so now the rating more accurately reflects the content.

Well, I loved it. A little bummed out that there was no massage scene though, always liked those.

Not bad. Typically I like longer stories, but this is pretty good.

5860694 it always annoys me when people automatically downvote ships they don't like. No one's making them read it.

I certainly enjoyed this fun story. In just a few scenes you managed to build up a lot of tension between Macintosh and Fluttershy. Constantly I was wonder what the problem was exactly, especially if maybe Fluttershy had been cheating on him before he got home. The build up scenes were nice and even the exposition was well woven into the rest of the story. You implied a lot without really giving anything away, which is always a good thing in stories, and especially in fanfics. I got here when this story had an M rating so I'll admit that I was a little disappointed at the end, but it didn't take anything away overall. 10/10 would read again :D

Ironically enough, I had actually planned a massage scene, but I ended up cutting it for various reasons. Though I must admit that I do love massage scenes, too. :twilightblush:

I was sort of expecting it to happen with this story, in all honesty. I do agree that it is very annoying. And though there's no way of knowing whether or not they downvoted for those reasons, it sure seems like that had something to do with it. But oh well!

TDR

I know a number of people don't like clop and they seem to think every ship story lately is just that. The initial M rating might have had something to do with it too.

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it! I was trying to create an air of mystery for that first scene, and I'm glad it seems like I properly set the tone for the rest of the story as well!

I got here when this story had an M rating so I'll admit that I was a little disappointed at the end,

Honestly? That might partly explain why there's so many damn downvotes on this thing. :trixieshiftleft:

I'll admit it's not like my magnum opus or anything, but I still feel like it turned out okay. So I'm a little surprised by just how many there are. Oh well!

I think you're right. Guess I should have disputed the M rating at the beginning, but bygones are bygones. Don't have time to worry about that.

5863002 Never worry about a like/dislike ratio of your story, dude. Even if you're using it to measure what you did right or wrong anyone who has something worthwhile to critique about your story will say so. Besides, a 5:1 ratio ain't even that bad

This story is amazing. Every Fluttermac I've read has these two perfect people...err, ponies, in their perfect world together. Any conflict typically is external. This is the first one I've read in which the conflict is internal.

Well done. Smoothly written, brilliant tension build up (ok, that was an unintentional pun!) Excellent balance between romance, fluffy-ness, and a dash of sensuality.

That was a very sweet story, though I can not fathom why it failed moderation rated Teen. Unless there has been some editing after the fact.

I like it mac needs to listen more and see what he's doing and how it affects other ponies:fluttercry:

This was very sweet. Both Flutters and Mac felt very real, both in character and in conflict. My only complaint is that you didn't take advantage of that Mature rating. :raritywink: Great story though! Have a fave. :twilightsmile:

Always happy to read more FlutterMac cuteness!!! :yay::heart::eeyup:

I just read this story again and i want more! This is the cutest best little story ^^ also i realy like your kind of writing, how you descripted this sun raising and stuff. I would like to see more of this. ^^

Wow. This was amazing. A very captivating story. I absolutely loved it! 😊😊

Aww, it's obvious Fluttershy is worried. Poor thing. Mac, if your wife shows up with perfume and offers you a massage, take it for goodness sake. You got zero game.

This was so loving and sweet. Love the bit of drama with Flutters feeling unloved. Glad Big Mac disabused her of that notion.

I just read this for the first time, and I'm sad that you had to trim out an explicit section. I would love to read that version. Even if Mac's back is hurt, there must be some way you can have him satisfy Fluttershy's frustration, both emotional and sexual.
