Applejack and Big Mac spend the last hour before the wedding with their younger sister, who remembers and shares with them the story of how it all happened before she walked down to the aisle.

What did it mean to be a worthy man?

This was the question that had haunted Spike ever since he had fallen for Rarity. At first, the answer had seemed so simple. Honesty, laughter, generosity, kindness, loyalty, and magic. These were the qualities Spike aspired to embody.

At least, they were, before he had his heart broken.

Now, he knows the truth.

Sex is discussed and reflected on, but not shown.

Shining Armor has lived a long and happy life alongside his wife Cadance. Though they never managed to have another child, they've held the Crystal Empire strong against many enemies, helping to spread friendship all across the world.

But merely being married to an Alicorn Princess has not protected him from the ravages of time. Where many others would have to say farewell to their immortal children and relatives, something else is waiting for Shining Armor.

His younger sister, ruler of Equestria, is unwilling to say goodbye, and has perfected a spell that will allow him to stay with his family. He has little time to decide: accept the spell, or say goodbye to his family forever. It isn't really much of a choice.

A warning for potentially sensitive readers: this is a story about cute role-reversals. Though it includes Gleaming Shield and physical transformation, it has neither the scope nor the wordcount to deal with the more sensitive topics of personal identity and dysphoria. Things I could not treat with the respect they deserved were left out of the story completely.

If you're looking for a more substantial take on transition and transgender subjects, I suggest one of my other stories, Homebrew.

A comet is passing over Equestria and every creature is captivated by the beauty. Along with the rest of her class, Smolder has to write an about the celestial object. However, the dragon seems far more interested in a talent that her earth pony friend has, as well as the pony themselves.

Discord has been in these lands long before they became Equestria. He has seen kingdoms rise and fall, and countless generations of ponies pass him by. Unbeknownst to everypony else, he had more of an impact on history than just what his powers have done.

All of this and more comes to light during a late-night conversation between him and his wife, Fluttershy.

Sex tag is for minor references and talks of parenthood.

Join Button Mash and Babs Seed, or rather their families, as they follow the couple along their date in Canterlot. Each family thinks their child is gay. Light humor follows, along with cuteness.
ENJOY!

Spike is on his way for his big Hearts and Hooves day date with his marefriend. Fortunately for him he is about to meet someone he has always wanted to, hopefully this meeting wont be to awkward.

Gallus is really, truly unenthused about his latest assigned reading. Some lame romance by a long-dead author is good for pretty much one thing and one thing only: putting you to sleep. Sandbar decides to change his mind.

Shameless Gallbar fluff.
