I get the feeling that Twilight's brain is about to fry. Nice story, have a thumbs up and a fave!

Nice story. Can we get a sequel about the life of their child? Please :applecry:

Mac's a Baron and AJ might as well be a knight of the realm along with the other bearers with all the times they've saved everything. Poor Auntie Applebloom's going to have a lot to live up to with the family name. :rainbowlaugh:

Maybe... I have a few little vignettes in my head already.

I'm currently in the middle of writing another story (31 pages in). This just kinda came out in a fervor the other day. Once the other story is done, I may add a second chapter here, with a bunch of Daww and comedy moments.

that ending...

Umm...I have no Idea what hickes are...

7168004 Oh well...I guess it can be associated with immortals who have had to go without a mate way too long.

Just a note... Big Mac wouldn't be a Baron just because he has land.

He would be a Laird, or a Lord, a landowner. Now, if Big Mac owned a collection of farms and fiefdoms, and had a body of Lairds or Lords beneath him, he would be a Baron.

That said, under certain circumstances under the British peerage system, some Lords or Lairds were Barons unto themselves, this was done for the sake of cheating when votes came up during the period feudal government. By having a larger number of Barons beneath their banners, higher ranking members of the aristocracy held more power. It gets really messy if you try to understand it.

In a democracy, every vote counts. In feudalism, every Count votes, but not all votes are equal.

7168495

True.

I think there could be some fun had with the idea that The Crown had granted the entire valley to the Apples, not just where the farm is, and it turns out all of Ponyville owes the Apples back taxes.

7168532

All shall fear the Red Baron? :eeyup:

7168545

For he brings apple pies, and is good at fixing roofs.

The romanticness of this was refreshing.

Moving fast is a bit of an understatement, Celly. The guy literally went to bed single, and the next day he's presumably going to be a father!
Incidentally I love the name "Oops Pills". That there is some fine marketing.

I think the idea of the alicorns birthing a series of kids over their lifetimes whenever they decide to take a lover is intriguing. Since we know that alicorn mares can birth alicorn foals, I wonder if that suggests there's some secret colony of alicorns from Celestia and Luna's affairs over the millennia?

7169547

I very much doubt that, since both Luna and Celestia stated to Twilight that the birth of an Alicorn is something that was not known to happen. So, if there was a secret colony of Alicorns that Celestia and/or Luna was in any way responsible for (sexually or no), that would make them seem like a big liar, which doesn't fit either of their characters in my opinion.

But I do agree, the idea of Celestia having foals over the course of her long life is definitely an intriguing one, to say the least.

7170299
Well, "not known to happen" could be a fiddly way of saying that ponykind knows jack squat about the alicorns. There isn't much of a sample size to work with.

7170768

I actually have an elaborate head canon on why Flurry was born an alicorn. It'll probably get a one-shot story sometime this year.

7170768 Even if her foals weren't alicorns maybe they were just longer lived earth ponies, unicorns and pegasi. Think an Equestria version of Tolkien's Dúnedain.

...:rainbowlaugh:

Five of five :moustache:

I would love to see this continue and would especially like seeing them going through her pregnancy together.

7168580

The apple spice must flow........:trollestia::eeyup:

7198268

Now don't you go tempting me with a Dune crossover.

7198555
Why. Do you fear the rise of the kwisatz haderMac :eeyup:

Is celestia a maker now? Does her water flow? :trollestia:

This is really good... now I want to see Celestia and Big Mac's foal

Yes, Twilight, those are hickies. And I'd love to see more of this ship.

7310129

I do plan on a series of shorts as a sequel. Till then, I recommend, Let Silence Sing,

I am tough to please. Most fics I read I dislike for one reason or another. It's not that I have "high standards" or some bulshit like that. I'm just picky and it's a bad thing.

But this story is just perfect. It's fun and it's hot, it has a nice pacing, the right mood and it gets the job done. It has a pairing that I absolutely love and I liked both characters involved. Something that bothers me to no end is when writers cop-out away from the size differences when Celestia is involved, but this story works it to its advantage, making characters aware of it and dealing with it.. More people to do this.

Also, hickies for the win. :pinkiehappy: Good on you, Celly.

This was both really charming and quite delightfully steamy. :pinkiehappy:

7198555 Also, Dune crossover, when? :rainbowlaugh:

Mac shuttered, groaning as if struck.

*shuddered

Nice writing!

Some small typos/suggestions to add to the one above.

The momentary spook pass in a heartbeat when a sleepy moan told her it was a pony.

tense fix?

Mac caressed it’s silky fur with his lips.

She’d been due any day, and nature had it’s way of speeding

- its

And if it dosen’t work?

- doesn't

7763040

Good catch. Will fix.

Did you change baron to earl? Lots of points where you say "a earl".

7861557

Fixed. Thank you for pointing that out.

Twilight had stayed up way too late, but she'd had fun. Stumbling down the stairs, she followed the sounds and smells of breakfast into the kitchen.

“Mornin’” Mac greeted.

“Sleep well?” Celestia asked.

Reaching for the coffee, Twilight poured herself a cup. “Yeah, but some weird sound woke me up. Sounded like somepony was yelling and beating on a wall.”
A snort of laughter escaped Celestia. “Sorry.”

Turning in confusion, it occurred to Twilight that Celestia and Mac were sitting really close together. Blinking, her eyes darted from the red mark on Celestia’s ear, to the blue spot on her neck, then the bite-shaped welp on Mac’s foreleg.

“Are those hickies!?”

Oh Twilight, what did you just get yourself into? :rainbowlaugh:

I'd like to see how it all turns out between Mac and Celestia.

7940056

I have a 3 to 5 chapter sequel in mind. Have to clear out a few other projects first though.

Sequel! I need Pregnant Celestia!

8133127

Working on it!
One chapter done, second underway. It'll be 4 chapters when done.

And now I'm wondering how things would've turned out had it been Twilight who'd picked the wrong bed.

Taking the offer without hesitation, Celestia unhitched the little magic alarm clock in the back of her mind. “If you would please. It’s been too long since I have played night owl.”

Oooooh

nature had it’s way of speeding that along when stallions were close by.

*its

(...) Besides, you’re technically an earl and outrank most of them.”

Mac stared at her blankly. “What?”

“I granted land to your great-grandfather. I think about half of Ponyville west of the river is your manor.”

Resting his head against her chest, Mac looked out the window. “Huh...”

Ahahahaha.
