Big Macintosh, scared of a comment that Granny Smith wants grandfoals (*ahem* great-grandfoals *ahem*), runs through the door and down the road. Through a series of events, he ends up accidentally dating Princess Luna without realizing it.

This is a short story that was originally to be written for the prompt:
2015 February Super Happy Hearts and Hooves Lovefest Fanfic Event, or SHH&HLFE for short...
However, I didn't make the deadline because the story grew larger than time permitted for the deadline.

Tagged 'sex' for some comments/language, but no sex happens.

This story is a sequel to Flying Sky-High

So much has happened in the past year. Friends have been made, battles have been fought, and love has bloomed. Now at long last, Rainbow Dash has the chance of a lifetime: a chance to become a Wonderbolt and instantly be part of an elite squad. However, one of the key judges for the tryout is none other than her love: Soarin. He is bound by his profession to be fair and honest in his selection. Will their relationship give Dash an edge in the tryouts? Or will it strike her down before she even gets there?

Also what of the dark magic within Soarin? He's kept quiet about it for a while, but not all is as well as he lets on.

And what of the Shadowbolts? They scattered after the battle with Nightshade. Surely they didn't just disappear.

A story of remaining strong in the face of harsh challenges. Life and love can be tough, but strong hearts always find a way to prevail.

This Fic's length is a bit intimidating, but it is broken into four parts, each of which could be considered their own stories with clear beginnings and conclusions. I decided to keep it all together because it was how my outline was structured (aka i completely underestimated the length).

This is not a Gurren Lagann Crossover. The title was a coincidence. (But said coincidence has led to many references and characters that parody the anime)

The Wonderbolts are debuting a new show in the skies of Ponyville. Rainbow Dash is ecstatic to see a performance up close and personal. But when she is left speechless by their unbelievable techniques, she begins to question her chances. Lost in her thoughts, a very unexpected surprise throws her life into a roller coaster. A story of staying true to yourself and knowing when to listen to your heart, even if it isn't the logical choice.

This story has not been fully edited yet, i apologize for anything sloppy.

This story is a sequel to Head in the Clouds

Written for a small group contest. (Placed 1st! Thank you all for the support!)

Rainbow Dash and Soarin are extremely unsatisfied with how they left their relationship upon parting ways. Friends with benefits sounds nice, but once apart they both realize just how much the other means to them. Unfortunately now neither are in a position to confront the other and reveal what pulls at both their hearts: Love.

Soarin may be duty bound and unable to act, but Dash jumps at an opportunity that could turn their relationship into the direction they both truly want. A story of not accepting barriers. True love exists on all levels and distances.

(Note: this story was admittedly rushed for a contest. Looking back on it now, there are some inconsistencies, such as some of Dash's abilities. The end may seem a bit squished as well. I apologize in advance)

Yet after planning so carefully there are still a few things that even Celestia couldn't anticipate or prepare herself for.

Note: Story contains crack shipping, blatant stealing borrowing of Norse mythology due to author appeal, shameless use of Shakespeare quotes for chapter titles and the constant harassment of Princess Luna.

We all know the royal marriage of Shining Armor and Princess Cadance, but this story goes all the way back to when Cadance was still Twilight's foal sitter. From a simple crush, to young love, and everything in between. A love struck colt, a beautiful princess, and a friend ready to help. The road to love isn't always a simple one, but nothing safe is worth the drive.

After being coerced by Sweetie Belle to use a real Hearth’s Warming tree, Rarity finds herself to be in quite the dilemma. Because of how late in the season it is, there aren’t any Hearth’s Warming trees left in town to be sold. Frustrated, Rarity vents to her friends during their weekly lunch date. Unfortunately for her, all of her friends are busy, and are unable to help her with her problem. Applejack, wanting to help suggests enlisting the help of her older brother Big Macintosh to help Rarity get her Hearth’s Warming tree. Spending the day with each other, the fashionista and the draft horse soon develop a friendship.

As the holidays approach, could this newly formed friendship turn into something greater?

In a matriarchal society such as Equestria, sometimes the social position of a stallion can be difficult.

Big Macintosh has things going fairly well for himself. He does his share of the work at Sweet Apple Acres and helps to support his family along with his sister.

But Granny Smith has been talking lately. She thinks an eligible stallion such as himself should find a well-to-do mare and get married before he's too old. And now she's gotten an idea: why doesn't Applejack introduce him to her friends?

Princess Celestia always thought she knew how her kingdom worked. The Unicorns used magic specialized to their jobs. Pegasi flew in the sky and handled the weather. And Earth ponies... Earth ponies... uhhmmm...
Huh. Maybe Princess Celestia didn't know everything about her ponies after all.
Princess Celestia realized this after Applejack came to speak with her about a tax unfair to Earth pony farmers. It was during their conversation that Celestia realized she needed help.
Huh, isn't that odd Princess Celestia has had to leave on emergency business, leaving Luna to raise and set the sun? And hey, is that a new pony living and working at Sweet Apple Acres? I think her name is Sunshine Meadow. Surely, it's just a coincidence. Surely.

Mac has dedicated his life to the farm, to his sisters, and Applejack feels bad for it, she feels it's time for her brother to star having fun again to have a life beyond his work, friends and even more, but she isn't going to let him go just with any other mare, no, she need something good and harmless.
Then there's Rarity, ever since the coronation she's been work on multiple designs for multiple clients, and she hasn't seen much of her friends ever since either, or done any other thing that isn't working.

For Applejack it was a matter of putting one and one together. A flawless harmless plan.
