Just after discovering her cutie mark, Fluttershy met the stallion of her dreams, Big Macintosh.

...Okay, he was still a young colt back then, and 'Big' didn't exactly describe him either; he was just eye-level to the shy pegasus.

That's beside the point though.

Now, after hearing that said-stallion is the big brother to one of her friends, she becomes excited to meet up with him again.

But how is she meant to do that, when Big Macintosh is so... big?

A Big MacintoshXFluttershy ( MacinShy / FlutterMac ) fanfiction.

Prosopoanothenphobia - a fear of faces from above

Fluttershy. Known for her long, pink hair; but after an encounter with some mis-delivered mail and a run in with her crush, she may find herself with a shorter outcome that what others may expect.

Cover art by Bronyboy. You can find him on deviant art.

When Fluttershy goes to relax, she bumps into a stallion who is named after an apple that she has only glimpsed upon a few times before. She suddenly finds herself thinking about him. What happens with her and this mystery stallion?

As I said, a Big Mac shipping fic, testing out conceivable ships between him and just about everypony. Mane6 - AJ are of course involved, as well as Cheerilee.
Read to discover what it's about. I'm not going to tell you more here.

Oh, and I apologize for the rather contrived prologue. Getting a quiet character like Big Mac to move through the story of his own accord wasn't working, so Granny Smith gives him a kick in the right direction.

This story will go on for a while. Some of the later chapters will feature background characters in star roles, and later on, OCs will be involved as well, including a comedy chapter focusing on bad OCs.
If you want to nominate a background character, OC, or bad OC for appearance in this story, PM me.

With applebucking season far off, Applejack plans to get her brother to take some time off to relax. So, she tells Big Mac that he will be spending time with Pinkie Pie, who will be helping him unwind. While Big Mac agrees to the idea, can he at least get a word in edge-wise?

“Now if I let you see this place,/Where stories all ring true,/Will you let me past your face,/To see what's really you.” –The Outlaws, ‘Green Grass And High Tides’

After a visit from two of the Apple siblings, Rarity seems to be taken by the silent stallion. But can she actually prove to Big Mac that she's not a delicate pony?

Twilight use to love nothing more then her books and studying but now shes got her sights on something new.Big Mac.But does he like her the same way.

Vinyl Scratch never wanted to leave her hometown. Joining a brand new school in her senior year certainly doesn't help, either. At least she made a few friends, one in particular being a large apple farmer. But is it just friendship, or something more? In a world of change, only one truth stays the same for Vinyl. High school sucks.

This is my first human fic. I always like toying around with unique ships, and I've only seen one or two Mac-Scratchs. Except a lot of fluff, and not much else. I started this as an experiment, and to try something new, so constructive criticism would be highly appreciated. And of course, rate and favorite if you enjoy!

There is a rumor of a legend of a story in Equestria. Of a creature, older than can be told, that can bridge the most painful gap. The gap between two hearts that long to know oneness. To clear away the barriers that stop love from fully blossoming.

Big Macintosh knows the pain of love that cannot be, without subjecting his lover to suffering and eventual existential torment that would consume her. So he undertakes the journey, to walk the path of the hero. He need not wait for the middle of the journey of his life. He will strive for his happiness. And Smarty-Pants' happiness as well.

(Yes, this is VERY much inspired by Dante's "Inferno" and "Purgatorio." As it goes on, you'll see the connections between broad elements and know why I didn't need to add "Paradiso.")
