Sequel to Let the Silence Sing!
Big Macintosh is dating Princess Celestia, and now all of Equestria knows thanks to a certain foal photographer.

The sequel to Role Reversal.

It's been several weeks since Smarty Pants began her life at Sweet Apple Acres. Even after the night she shared with Big Mac, he hasn't realised her true intentions. Seemingly, his definition of 'friend' is very different to her own. When Smarty catches wind of an upcoming competition, she hatches a plan in the hopes of finally making Big Mac understand her feelings. What can possibly go wrong?

Pre-read by the, oh, so lovely RainbowBob, and edited by the omniscient Fluttrick!

Big Mac is strong, supportive... and silent. The model big brother, he's always there for Applejack and Applebloom, never asking for a thing in return. Together, they keep Sweet Apple Acres afloat. But was that always his dream...?

(Don't miss the sequel: "Your Beautiful Mind.")
