Hooray! It's finally here! :pinkiehappy:

Big Mac as 'Princess' is always kind of touching and special for me - I guess both AJ and Mac have kept secret girly feelings. Braeburn's clear adoration is always very sweet, and I don't think I have words to express how much I enjoy the idea of someone like Mac being seen as lovely, bashful, feminine, etc., without having to look different at all...

But... for all that... ouuuch. :applecry: Poor, poor Braeburn...

But... but... [spoilers redacted]! Gaaaaah! :derpytongue2:

I will be following this with the third chapter on Monday the 23rd. :ajbemused:

God damn this is cute.

Awww, preggerjack

Squee, a true AppleDash kiddo! :rainbowkiss::ajsmug:

Damn it Jinx! I've never been so jealous of AJ in my life.
Now I need a smoke and a drink.
Hope you're happy! ;)

I'm sick, so the next chapter won't be Monday. On the other hand, I think it can be Monday the 27th, the following Monday. See ya then :duck:

Hope you get better soon, Jinxie! :C

Next chapter out 3/13. My mom was in the hospital, my house got run over by a car, gonna have to go to every other week at least one more time.

(the weird thing is, all that was literally true)
(that was rough, took until 4/3!)

For some reason, with Big Mac and the sushi hunter, Im thinking of the Dazzlings. Specifically, given the history of that village, whats teh chances that they had a fountain made out of a statue of Adagios and sisters in pregnant recurve repose. :duck:

Applejinx chapters are the best part of a Monday!

Poor poor Braeburn. Moeru seems like a cutie though; hope he isn't too rattled by that untimely hoofing.

8101933 Thank you! I only wish I could still do every Monday: what with having to turn to Patreon for my livelihood, I have to put out four times the audio plugins for half or a third the money, so it makes my usual abilities with Monday updates impossible :raritycry:

However, I'm fairly confident that if I drop down a gear to every OTHER Monday, I will get through just fine, and Foreign Affairs will hit its 'spiral' into complete WTF-land just before Bronycon. From there, it's two more chapters to conclude, and I think I can keep that schedule :raritywink:

I'd be scared for Braeburn. Reports seem to vary a LOT about how dangerous Neighpon is, depending on who you are and what your intentions are, and he hit Bishie-peg, I mean Moeru, really hard. On the other hoof, if he hadn't flipped out, there's absolutely no chance he'd have got away. I think Rainbow could outfly that little guy, but nothing else on wings could. He's a cutie, but he's lethal, absolutely lethal, and knows it. This has a lot to do with why he (and the owl-pegasus mare!) happily sought tribute in lovemaking, which might seem a vulnerable position: they're used to having any captives completely helpless to escape them. All ya gotta do is rainboom (or owl-boom, or bishieboom) down into the assailant a few times and they're stunned beyond hope of resistance. But Moeru was not expecting to be sucker-punched, and in fact we better hope those two Kirin from Kabochaebi are following close behind to take care of him…

(promptly begins writing just that. Lil' guy took a blow like Dashie hit Fluttershy. Upset ponies lashing out is bad, bad mojo)

Reminds me of the guys that take valet parking jobs so they can drive hot cars to pull hot babes? :moustache:

I'm going to have to delay again: won't be able to have a chapter by Monday, but I will plan to have one by 5/22 :heart:

Braeburns going to have to offer little Miss Plisskin as a share gift to Big Mac? Or given how theyre collecting them, someones going to have to get an airship. Maybe even call it The Love Boat. :eeyup:

Gimme another day :raritydespair: I'm pretty close and won't need a whole other week, but I'm kind of wrecked and need to take my down time when I expect to. By mid Tuesday I should have the special 'day in the life of Vinyl' chapter all set, after a bit of a rest :duck:

Next chapter will be June 26th. :duck:

Really fleur de lys. ( never cared much for that character I think I got a bitter taste in my mouth from her because of that My Little Pony app Hasbro has where you build your own Ponyville Canterlot and so on they made her an alicorn

Sometimes it takes a thousand ton steam hammer to crack an egg. :pinkiesad2:

:ajsleepy:
I will need to reschedule the next chapter for 7/17 (the Monday after this coming Monday). I hate to, but my family is having a 50th wedding anniversary and I must go… it's great that my Dad is hanging in there and my Mom's cancer went more into remission and on the whole I'm inclined to just be with them and not fret about poneficcing :raritywink:
We also have Bronycon coming up really soon, and I'm having to ramp up with that quite fiercely, so I expect two more chapters before Bronycon is upon us :duck: at that point, I think all the most interesting questions will have arisen. In fact, a certain groovy unicorn may have gotten fed up and herself run off to join the circus, or something like it, meaning a pre-Bronycon cliffhanger.
I'm determined to finish this even if it's at an uncommonly slow rate for me, and for what it's worth the scheduling now suggests that we will watch Foreign Affairs continue to unfold until the end of September :ajsmug:

If some deity is usuing Big Mac to cream off the top most excessive, its going to be one heck of an end of tour blow out gig. :twilightoops:

Braeburn and Vinyl are going to end up keeping each other warm in a high altitude cave by one of the Kirin monks mountain passes?

Octavia is finally happy, but thats going to be expensive in vegetables instead of roadies.

8335999
Oh, you have nooooo idea :rainbowlaugh: :rainbowkiss:

Suffice to say, keep your eye on those mountain passes. They are full of surprises :rainbowwild:

Okay, either Vinyl has gone back to her hometown to find redemption, solace, and/or sanctuary, or I need to go back to square one to figure out what the fuck is going on.

That Flight Lightning scene though? Very very nice. I hadn't noticed the parallel with the previous stories, but it's true, isn't it? Love it.

8336511
Sure, I didn't conceal that much. Scratchie's done a runner. After Bronycon, you can see how that's going (there's a parallel with something Noel Gallagher of Oasis did once)

The important thing is what happens next. She picked a terrible time to do it :raritywink:

Ah-ha. Crying In the Rain.

I'm going to have to delay the next chapter for another week 'cos things got ridiculous around here :raritydespair:

On the bright side, there's three more chapters to this book, and I know what they are and what happens, and I've got one of those 'Rube Goldberg contraption' endings ready to swing into action which should be worth the wait.

No sense in rushing the ending, since it is an ending: I prefer to take the time and get it right, so people reading Trixieverse from beginning to end can have a proper carnival ride of a denouement. :raritywink: I'm not sure when I'll get into what follows Trixieverse, or who will see it, but that's a question for another day.

Because Pinkie has an infinite number of hooves, she has a hoof in Every Pie.

Wouldnt Pinkie Pi Pie Be Pinkie Tau?:pinkiecrazy:

Heres me thinking they were going to go all Ephebian Ephemera and just zip the tzo sides of the ridge back together, slipping the valley itself into M space.:trollestia:

The taco hat that hold the entire enchillada with all strings tied and so many marriages also?

Will hina leave as is, or will Braeburn whisper a secret in one her unicorns ears, for her to rememeber Big Mac by?:trollestia:

As she did, Stout Heart’s eyes widened to take in the radiant sight: not merely the joy of his beloved coming her tail off, atop him. Better than that. His trusty jouncing had sent her so mad with release that she’d lost all control of her voluptuous body. A scrawnier mare might have thrashed, or bitten. Octavia’s outburst was far more glorious than that. She rattled and shook incoherently like a cart racing over bad country roads, and since he was gazing upward at her lushly padded hindquarters, his view wasn’t of shuddering hocks or hooves clattering against the ground.

Must be jelly because jam don't shake like that! :pinkiehappy:

Nighttime at the Neighponnese port of Kabochaebi was quiet. Ponies who’d been carousing all night had staggered off to their cozy homes, to sleep the sleep of the formerly-wicked and wake up bright-eyed and covered in somepony else’s recycled rice-cider.

I had to check. Yeah, that's because Moeru hits Braeburn with a WHAM before Braeburn even gets to finish his thought or the word 'loudness' :ajsmug:

It's fun to see you posting stuff on your readthrough :raritywink:

I've been burned so often, I usually don't read stories until they're finished. Hey, I've only got 500 or so stockpiled, it could work. I am rereading the entire verse to be sure that I can follow the subplots.

As to typos, since I joined The Proofreader's Group, I'm not quite Sheldon (from Big Bang Theory), but I admit that I am kinda fussy about it.

Even that name told a story: Michian’nai-sha was his full, honorable name, but he was Michian to all who crossed his path. Perhaps that was also a sort of adaptation. All knew that Michian’nai-sha was a very powerful unicorn, and the Kirin were strict with very powerful unicorns, and so Michian famously devoted himself to the most extreme humility. It was a sort of humility, thought Scratch sourly, that only the exceptional could afford: Michian wandered the land, finding gifted artists and promoting them, staying in any old hovel or barn without thought to his own welfare. Or at least, he would do so if he wasn’t continually dragged off to very comfortable bedrooms, there to make love with a series of thrilled and worshipful mares.

ICR who (Arsenio Hall?) scolded someone in an interview "You're not important enough to be so humble" :flutterrage:

I usually don't typo for effect. I promise there will never be too much of that sort of thing: it's tacky in excess :duck:

9389835
It's porn. "Tacky" probably doesn't make your readers list of
"Top 10 Things I dislike in Literature" :pinkiehappy:

Even hours after Suru had cuddled up and gone to sleep, dreaming blissfully of her freedom and future as a simple earth pony, Big Macintosh still lay awake trying to make sense of it all. He could have fed Hina for years, decades on what he’d got out of Suru while he used her up. Assuming she didn’t choke on all that raw magic, he could have gone all the way, stuffing any imaginable Kirin with magic and giving Suru the boon she wanted, by burning her horn entirely away through her own discharges. He could have done all that with Hina, and in some ways it was exactly what he'd set out to prove.

You know, If I was Big Mac I'd be getting a little tired of being used like that. That's what, 3 in a row?

What do Big Mac and Braeburn think of peeing in butts and having their butts peed in?

So, um, I have a question... how are the reader numbers so low on this? Please tell me you get a lot more visitors on your own site (that's how I first found and read these books), and that this isn't indicative of the overall audience for the final (sob!) instalment of a series that has stuck in my head probably more than any other single piece of MLP fiction?

Anyhow. I understand your not wanting to continue the saga, and your capstone was really quite beautiful, but... I do so wish to one day just idly be browsing and see Book 10 appear. In the meantime, I'll just say thank you for writing all of this, it was - is - appreciated.

9456968
The reader numbers are low because the reader numbers are low. Doesn't change anything. I don't care if there's an audience or not.

Part of the reason it stopped was poverty and me being compelled to go and put a lot more energy into my work, which has gone fairly well. I get miserable when I don't write, so it's not been great…

There's a situation that could happen where I would immediately begin Book 10. Yes, there's a whole story and outline for it. Hell, there's a concept for what would make a Book 11. So, go ahead and be cloptomistic :raritywink: but it's not because there will ever be an audience, it's because I've got stories to tell and have grown used to the Trixieverse characters.

There's a situation where I'd probably never continue these books. It's called 'Applejinx gets laid'. But as I'm over 50 and work all the time and never see anybody, I don't think THAT is going to happen, so the energy for it will most likely end up being expressed in books again… :ajbemused:

Thank you for replying! I'm sorry to hear that, and I hope you didn't take my post as some sort of criticism, it really wasn't (or, well, not of you, anyway!) - I was just genuinely astonished as to how this doesn't have more readers on this site.

I can't even remember what I was looking for, but putting a pony-related phrase in quotes into Google a year or two ago accidentally landed me on your site and in the middle of Derpy Desires. Right away, I thought, this is fucking amazing, and read the book from start to finish; then I realised it was one of a series, so I went back to the beginning and read the whole thing, from start to finish, and loved it. Getting to the end was truly emotional, I felt bereft when I realised there wasn't any more to come, even though as I said your capstone was still a really lovely way to leave things.

In my mind, this is one of the absolute key MLP fan works this community has created, and it's something I cite straight away to everyone who asks for a good M-rated saga. That's why I was so surprised at the low viewer count; I don't understand how anyone could stop reading the whole series, knowing there was more left unread ahead.

If - and I don't want this to sound like begging, I really mean if - you did ever decide to write more, even if it's just for yourself, well... you'll have an audience of at least one, OK?

So what the endgame ships? I know you probably want to move past this and go on with your life i get that. So good luck to you sir i hope you find what you are looking for.
