In the final days of her life, an exceptionally faithful student muses on the subject of her perfect and immortal mentor Applejack.

Now with Spanish translation by Spaniard Kiwi!

Sometimes, we all need company. Big Mac found his in the form of a doll — a filly's mere toy. She provided companionship as an inanimate object, but now, it's not enough. Big Mac attempts to find a way to transform her into something more capable of understanding, but when he does, will he be able to make the ultimate sacrifice to see it through?

Five years ago, something happened to Caramel that has been bothering him since. But he's felt pressured to keep it a secret. Now, he struggles to find ways to deal with his bottled up emotions. (Warning: coltcuddling ahead!)

A/N: This story was written as a sequel to a story I wrote called The State That I'm In. It's probably a good idea to read that first. This story is written in the same style, but from Caramel's perspective. Note that this features the Dark and Teen tags, so it's a little more serious, sort of.

For the sake of consistency and symmetry, here's the song that this half of the story was originally based on: Springfield

And lastly, as always, what you're about to read would look like a pile of manure if it weren't for the incredible WhatTheMoo, editor extraordinaire!

Caramel finally understands his feelings, but is he too late to act on them? Will he break out of his shell and find love? Is Big Macintosh even available?
A love story between Caramel and Big Macintosh (obviously...). Contains M/M coltcuddling and some innuendos. If thou doest not enjoy such topics, shield thine eyes.

Big Mac sits in his room, pondering an incident that made him question himself; trying to write a letter that he should have written long ago. Featuring a wicked storm, a few weeks at summer camp, and a predatory insect of unusual size.

Contains m/m shipping. Based on a song which can be found here: The Predatory Wasp
