Granny Smith has been making Zap Apple Jam for decades but there's something about the savory treat she's not telling.
This is my answer to continuity between the Winter Wrap Up and Family Appreciation Day episodes.

This was pretty good. A nice explanation for the discontinuity. A bit more 'tell' than 'show', but I suppose that comes along with storytelling. All in all a good read.
1806292>>1806297>>1806300 Thanks you guys.
Didn't know how people would take this one but I wanted to share my thought on it.
It's not real prosy like some of my other stories but I really wanted to take a narration from Granny's perspective and try something new.
If anything, I have to relearn how to spell after writing this lol. All my "I's" come out "Ah" and I want to drop the "g" and use a ' on anything ending with it
Hmm... live forever on jam ehh... sign me up!
1806446 And the doctors always try and tell ya sugar and sweets are bad for you.
edit: thanks for the fave!
Huh. When I read the synopsis, I was "oh no, the secret is it's made of ground up pegasus foals or something, right? I'm going to hate this." Then I started reading and saw that the jam was an antiagathic but that the ponies who used it decided to discontinue it and die, I was "ah crap, it's going to be about how the 'burden' of immortality is terrible and everypony's better off dying whether they want to or not. I'm going to hate this."
But then it turned out quite nicely. Granny gave the secret to Applebloom to do with as she felt was best, and did it with good reasoning to back it all up. Surprisingly, I liked this little tale enough that I'm even considering fitting it into my headcanon. Good job! Now all I need to do is figure out how this all fits into Celestia's master plans.
Wub. I read to much sad.
1806498 Well I'm glad you were pleasantly surprised and I would be honored if you used it for headcanon! Although it worries me a little bit what Celestia has in mind.
1806506 I'm sorry iambrony.steeph.tp-radio.de/mlp/gif/178632%20-%20animated%20apple_bloom%20artist-MurDareik%20sad_eyes.gif
1806548 It has long been my belief, even before Family Appreciation Day cemented the notion IMO, that Celestia intentionally caused Ponyville to be founded to serve as an incubator and home base for the future bearers of the Elements of Harmony. If the founding of Ponyville also lead to the discovery of an antiagathic alchemical compound like this, surely that must fit into her plan as well. Perhaps she needs the Element-bearers to stick around longer than they otherwise would.
Or perhaps I'm overanalyzing a heartwarming little tale of a grandmother passing on a family secret to her grandfoal.... nah. :)

Celestia! You clever, clever girl.
That really is a thought provoking idea though!
Oh, how marvelously clever and well executed! Why aren't there more views on this? It's wonderful!
1806917 I'm glad you think so! I'd love if this got a feature but I think I'm coming up short on views for that.
As long as people enjoy it, I guess I can't complain though.

Well, y'see, iff'n ya don' come to southern-speak all natural-like (the writers of the show seriously didn't, btw. Silly Canadians, not realizing that "Y'all", being a contraction of 'You All', is always plural...), y' can always ctrl-f 'n replace after ya write ever'thin' out.

That's probably what I should have done to save myself from creating such a bad habit. But Ah reckon Ah kin git over it 'ventually.
Hauntingly beautiful. *wipes away tear and begins to stalk*
1807166 Thank you for your kind words.
I'll brb gonna go lock my door and plug in my night light.
Poor Granny Smith

Good story, and very interesting how you played it out.
I also had the idea of an explanation that the zap apples granted Granny Smith the extra centuries, but at the price of slowly turning her body into wood - she looks like a gnarled old tree because she is literally becoming one, and will end up as a zap apple tree if she lives long enough.
1811031 Thanks. I've had this idea for a while and I thought it would be fun to do as a narration from Granny Smith's POV. I wasn't sure if very many people had thought of it this way or if anyone had done a fic about it yet.
Turning into a zap apple tree is definitely an interesting take on it too, though a little bit morbid. Wouldn't mind seeing how that would play out actually.
Upon reading this, I think I'll ask for your help in doing the apple family's dialect for that project of ours
1807071 Oh my gosh that gets on my nerves and thanks to the show people who write fanfics use it that way too!
It is never used when talkin about one person/pony.

To be fair, she's not had that problem since Season 1, to my recollection.
3062506 Well now that I think about it no but that has not stopped so many from writing it that way.
That was amazing. Well written, realistic, I could see everything so clearly!
Makes me miss my great-grandma...
