Big Mac has been dating Spike in secret for a few months now, and they are finally ready to make it public. But how will things go for this shy stallion?

Written for the Hearts and Hooves Day event on EqD.

Set ten years after Season 4. So yeah, Spike is a fair bit older!

What do you call something that's kind of like fridge horror, only instead of realizing something horrifying after the fact, you realize something comedic, or at least obvious?

Like a certain someone in the story who smiled and then scrunched her nose.

You know who you are.

Man, I should have seen that coming, I got the hoard/you know what reference right at the start, but didn't expect the ponies not to get it and instead take it literally. Thanks for the chuckle, but now I want a longer romance/slice of life fic between the two.

I just want to say two things. One, Apple bloom was hilarious. And two, I've always thought of Diamond Tiara as the kinda person, who when she grew up and matured, would really mellow out.

Sweet~! Been ages since anyone else has done Spike X Mac. Also, good to see the moose is loose.

...

That sounded better in my head. What I mean is it's good to see another story from you, Anonymoose.

Ah yes, another obscure Spike ship has graced this site. I love it.

Ack! Y'all need to change "horde" to "hoard" in the punchline!

Also, the end would be better if AJ mentioned that Rarity spread the word all over town.

5606482 Man I don't understand why your comment has two downvotes. I mean I doubt any of us saw that coming.

5607455>>5606482
Yeah, I couldn't work out why the comment got those downvotes either. Maybe it was saying he wanted more Mac Spike ship.

Mind you, look at the downvote ratio on this story, it might just be haters hating :rainbowlaugh:

5607497 Nonetheless I think you should make more out of this. The way you ended this story was hilarious.

5607559
That'd be right! Finally finish a MxM story (my other two have been sitting in hiatus limbo) and people want more!


Wait.


That's a good thing.

At first I was pissed that this was one of those "everypony's a homophobe" fics, then I read the last line. Thank you! I was fully prepared to downvote this, but then you changed it to something funny.

5608044
Yeah, really tried to ham up the gayngst in this story. While I do write a lot of gayngst stories, I wanted to write something a little funnier, given everything I've been writing lately has been dark dark dark.

Just didn't want to tag it comedy, as it would have given away the ending, I think.

Ok let me say this... I don't like MxM stories i rarely EVER read them and I don't even know what got me to read this one... but let me tell you that last line had me rolling so hard on the ground that someone came into the room to see if I was ok. While i normally would just be fine with a 1-shot this has me wondering what everyone else would say when they realized what was going on.

5608577
Well, first of, thank you for giving an MxM story a try.

Original ending was planned he was going to walk up to the mike at a town meeting and shout "I was talking about his d—" but for some reason, I found Apple Bloom saying it so much funnier.

Somehow, I wonder if Twilight's reaction would change much when she heard it wasn't his large endowment, but his large endowment that Mac thought was his best feature.

5608620 Well half and half I could see her breathing a sigh of relief then kinda double thinking about what the heck he WAS getting....

We disapprove. It's not that you're a colt-cuddler, it's that you're a gold-digging colt-cuddler going after Spike. That's just not cool...
Wait... you're not after... his WHAT!?

So much harm to my sides! Curse you! You marvelous b*st*rd!

Like real life and like internet comment sections people are ok with FxF but MxM is the worst ever. Anyways, great story.

5608950
You know, I've found if I make it pretty obvious it's an MxM story up front, it'll get those auto downvotes (hello to you five downvoters who downvoted less than a minute after the story came out); for the bulk of it I have received better reaction from my MxM fics than I have from my FxF fics.

Of course, my MxM fics get not even a tenth of the views my others do, so maybe that has something to do with it. Either way, for most part the reaction in the comments on those stories are pretty positive.

WEIRD!

5609044 Seems to happen more on the clopfics.

5609231
Ahhh, that would be one part of the fimfic community I'm entirely in the dark about.

5609378 So am I. Just heard a rumor. *cough cough*

And suddenly, Applejack is angry for an entirely different set of reasons.

5609044 Ive been getting downvotes after a chapter comes out. its FRIKKIN annoying.

5612377
I see no stories on your account, which I am guessing means your story is mature. And that might come under what 5609231 said.

I mean, don't get me wrong, with each of my MxM stories, I have gotten a much larger down vote to read ratio, and most of the time, it happens within minutes of release. But generally my experience is positive.

5612457 Nah, its only mature due to sexual references. no clop at all.

5612485
Ahhh, a lot of people struggle to see the difference. That may be part of the problem, people come in expecting clop and aren't getting it. Dunno, hard to say when I can't see the story :raritywink:

5612498 Do you have "View mature" enabled?

5612517
I always have view mature turned off, consider I check this site during my lunchbreak at work, and at home from the family computer.

5612522 ah, all it is just a implied foursome joke in a later chapter.

5612547
If it is only implied (i.e. you aren't actually describing the foursome, or going into explicit detail) then you've probably over-rated your story. That might also account for some of the down votes.

If it is just jokes about a foursome, then it would be Teen/Sex tagged. If you are describing the foursome, then it would be Mature/Sex tagged.

5612804
Ahhh, okay. Well, I see what might be your issue. You're writing a cross over fic, and people who like said cross over fics are usually pretty picky about the source material.

New question, whats your opinon on equestria girls?

5612876
Given I've written about four EqG stories so far, I'd say I am definitely in the camp of loving Equestria Girls.

It would not be overly troublesome for you to make a sequel to this would it, because I for one would like to see at least the Apples reaction to the revelation.

5612897 The sequel to my story is set in equestria girls.

Oh man that was a pretty gud ending.

That last line though... :rainbowlaugh:

And yay, they weren't being homophobic dicks! They just hate gold diggers! I approve! :ajsmug:

5758939
I was tossing up whether I should have tagged this one comedy or not, given the twist ending. Glad you liked it! :raritywink:

5759072
I'm not dissing the story (well, AI kind of am.), but you labeled it with having sex. There was, pretty clearly, no sex.

5896451
The Sex tag is a bit of a strange one. I tend to think of it like TV show ratings. There is a difference between, say: PG - Sexual References and, say, an MA 15+ - Sexual References.

The 'joke' of the fic was a reference to a penis, and there were certain allusions to sex in the fic, thus I chose to rate 'Teen with sexual reference' rather than just Teen, to be on the safe side. If it contained actual sex, then it would be rated Mature.

Which I tend not to write.

Hope that clears it up. I know there is some contention between users over what does and doesn't require the sex tag, but I like to err on the side of caution.

5896473
Well, yippee-kai-yay. :ajbemused:

5896492
It's been difficult since the admins removed 99% of the FAQ, so there is no clear definition on how and when those tags are to be used.

In any case, I am sorry my story did not have enough horse sex in it to satisfy you. :raritywink:

Why call a dinosaur a hoard???

i is so confused

I have to admit, my only complaint is that we didn't get to see their reaction.

Though at the same time, I don't think my sides could've taken much more after that anyways. :rainbowlaugh:
