Big Macintosh goes on strike when he sees he's the one doing all the heavy lifting and harder work at Sweet Apple Acres while his sisters frolic. His idea catches fire throughout Ponyville, and soon every stallion is up in arms! Sexism explodes in the tiny town, it's Stallions on Strike!

Big Macintosh had a perfectly good reason for taking Twilight's doll; he wanted to use it to finally start a conversation with her. But Applejack's having none of it, Rarity's getting the wrong idea about everything, and the Cutie Mark Crusader Matchmakers are about to really throw a spanner in the works! A comedy of errors launching a full fleet of ships.

The Apple Family's always been close. But Applebloom and Applejack at least seem to have lives outside of Sweet Apple Acres. Big Macintosh has never had an easy time befriending anypony outside the acres, and so it should come as no surprise that everypony believes he is a lonely and friendless stallion who spends all his days working the fields in solitude. But little do they know of the mysterious filly that has entered his life to turn his heart and mind upside-down one giggle at a time.

This story is a sequel to The Pregnant Princess' Pesky Predicament

Big Mac isn't a hero. All he's ever done is stymie his envy as Applejack and her friends save the day again and again, preventing terrible monsters from wreaking havoc across Equestria. He wishes he could do more to help, but he's never had a chance. All he's ever been able to do is tend the farm and watch over the Apple family, year after year.

But then Big Mac is given a blessing of power. He's barely given time to react, but he does know that this is his chance to be the hero he always wanted to be. Before he knows it, he's all that stands between Equestria and oblivion, and only he can save the day.

Luna's not gonna believe this.

Big Mac is usually quiet, reserved, and thoughtful. But he has had it and he's about to let his family know what he really thinks. Will his views end up getting him kicked out of the family?

After spending Hearth's Warming Eve with the Apples, something has changed in Marble Pie's world: up until then, she had only known the familiar ground of the rock farms community, which was so much different from the world the Apples must have come from. Something in her just screams to go and see this world (and, maybe, just maybe, also meet again a certain red stallion...), even if the rest of the community might disapprove. A story about romance, growth and overcoming anxieties.

Applejack, concerned about her brother's relationship with Fluttershy, confronts the shy pegasus about some of the, ahem, 'activities' the pair get up to. It becomes a conversation that Applejack will regret for the rest of her life.

Part of the Butterflies Continuity, set after the events of 'The Bunny Suit'.

Apple Bloom has destroyed some equipment on the farm before. But it's never been this bad. The rest of the family decides that she needs a safe outlet. Something constructive, something upbeat, something she doesn't actually want to do.

Ponyville's one and only schoolteacher likes to think she's good at her job. She likes to think that she's ready and equipped for the various problems that come with educating the next generation of fillies and colts.

Sadly, there are some things you can't prepare for.
