Twilight Sparkle brings the plagues unto Canterlot when Celestia turns the others of the mane six to stone.

When Spike returns home early from a gathering he sees something that causes him to go running from their little home...the sight of Twilight and Caramel together.

Once Twilight finds him, shivering and cold, she decides to try to address his fears...by giving him The Talk.

But, to Twilight's surprise, it may not be a talk about basic biology that Spike needs...perhaps something far more important is on his mind.

“The stars are out and shining,/But all I really want to know,/Oh, won't you show me the way./I want you to show me the way.” –Peter Frampton, ‘Show Me The Way’

Twilight is everyponys favourite egghead. She's a mare of more thoughts than any single pony could possess.
Big Mac is Sweet Apple Acres gentle giant. He may not speak much but he's got more feelings trapped inside than anypony would guess.
When a change in her schedule occurs will the two viewpoints clash? And will sparks fly?

A Ship-fic written from Twilights point of view.

It's been two months since Twilight and Big Macintosh started dating, and what a wonderful two months it's been. As their relationship blooms, Twilight finds out through Applejack that not all of the Apple family may be keen on a relationship that includes one of their own kin, and a unicorn. Worried about their future together, Twilight asks Big Macintosh for the biggest favor she can think of...to visit his entire family, and see if they can't break old traditions.

This is the sequel to Sparkling Cider, my first fan-fiction. It isn't necessary to have read Sparkling Cider to understand Old Traditions, but it certainly wouldn't hurt!

Thanks to all my followers who have been waiting for the sequel, you guys rock!

Twilight asks Big MacIntosh to read to the Cutie Mark Crusaders while she runs an errand. He's not much of a reader, but he just can't say nope to Twilight.

In an attempt to save face, Big Macintosh takes drastic measures to assure his secret stays safe. However, his actions bring forward a whole new set of deceptions that aren't entirely his own.

(This is the sequel to my featured story Darkest Secrets. I highly recomend people go and read that one first if they haven't already, I'm 99% sure you won't understand the context if you don't.

We all have secrets. For some it's nothing more than having an extra scoop of ice cream after dinner, for other's it's something much more morbid and disturbing. Those who pursue the truth, be warned, sometimes the darkest secrets of certain ponies are best left hidden in the shadows of their silence.
