A new chapter! First comment! Coco/OC? Braeburn/Trixie? I approve! I almost feel sorry for Big Mac now, knowing he at least has a reason for his racism, stories told to him as an impressionable child. Hopefully Soarin can help him get over his feelings. So Bloom and Rumble are coltsitting Brushed Honour? That's pretty sweet of them!
5131584 The OC belongs to/is my good friend and editor Corwin Freiss. And yep, Brixie/Triburn. I was trying to think of a pairing I hadn't seen before. I'm surprised you feel sorry for him, as I have Braeburn about the same age, and he doesn't believe them. They are indeed foal sitting him. I am unsure if we'll see more of that, as I had trouble trying to write the part that would come after Harshwhinny left.
5131930 I said I almost feel sorry for him, he still needs a major attitude adjustment. I see Trixie is the infertile mare, I wonder who the stallion is (if there is one, which hopefully isn't the case)?
5132014 I am purposely leaving out what Mac learns about the history, and leave it to the individual's imagination, but will post my idea in a covered comment in the A/N when we get to it.
Poor Trixie. That... that just breaks my heart. Especially since I have a cousin who until very recently thought she couldn't have children of her own, either. It did end up working out for her, fortunately.
MacIntosh is a strange fellow. If everypony around him including his own family shows they do not share his prejudice—not even his grandmother—where the heck did they come from? Just from his grandfather? Sounds a bit strange.
Also, the way Granny reacted actually didn't sit well with me at all. It was awfully abrupt and cruel. Instead of talking, bam, disowned. Doesn't put the Apple Family in a very good light overall. Somepony should tell her that.
5135475 Shit. Sorry man, to hear that, but like you say, it worked out in the end. Mac's stubborn. More so than AJ in Applebuck Season.
Do you not think Granny has tried to break him of these beliefs before? Until that night, Mac had not met anypony from Neighpon (excluding Soarin, but he's only just found that out), so she got through to him the only way she could think of. Remember a certain scene in Hearts And Hooves Day, 'This one's too old'? what's going on in that scene? We'll be seeing one of those in this story.

Hmm... undecided as of yet.

So she's a vampire now, is she?
