Days after returning from his (unintentional) grand adventure to reunite the pony races, Hitch Trailblazer is called to the home of Sprout and Phyllis Cloverleaf following an event in Maretime Bay.
Days after trying to harm the very ponies Hitch worked to help, Sprout finds himself stuck in his garden following a series of events mostly out of his control.
Now face-to-face, both stallions realize that they both need help only the other can provide.
Written for the M/M Shipping Contest! But let's be honest, I was just looking for an excuse to do Hitch/Sprout eventually.
Art by FraumFlug! Go follow them for more cute art.

It's a shame. These boys are pretty great (ignoring Sprout's warcrimes)
LOL at the idea of Hitch and Sprout hooking up.
Still gonna read this for best pony (Sprout) and 2nd best pony (Hitch).

I dunno, I just think they work. They do be cute together.
I hope you enjoy the story!

i would not be able to support half my ships if i'm not allowed to ignore war crimes

Don't you worry. I'm sure 90% of shippers are with you there.
The adorableness of this story burns hotter than any pepper.
Aww you have no idea how happy I am to see another Sprout x Hitch story! Their interactions were so adorable.

I'm glad you enjoyed it! Hopefully I can spice it up further eventually. Maybe.

Personally, I'm surprised that there aren't that many yet. I figured it'd be the stand out M/M ship following the movie. Especially after Argyle's "disappearance"
11041220
Same!

To be honest, I am legitimately surprised there isn't an gargantuan amount of art portraying these two as a couple already. It's to be expected - especially in this kind of fandom.

The moment I watched the first trailer I just knew that Argyle was gonna kick the bucket.

I was hoping he'd just go on a Forever Quest not actually fricking die
D'awwww, the fluffy loveeeeee!
so very much unlike HItch, who has a paid-off mortgage!
oh, so that's what they're calling it these days!
haha, i can totally see this being a visual gag in the movie!
perfection
phrasing! definitely agree tho
very understandable on Sprout's part
ha, i see what you did there! also fitting in with the musical references the canon movie did
aww! that really is just adorable. i loved this line!
and i am so glad Hitch agrees!
now this is a classic redemption-to-ship story! very adorable, with the feel of really being set in the canon. and it's just great to see a fic of this ship in particular. thank you for writing!

While I appreciate this whole comment, I am so very glad that you brought up me referencing Creep because it finally gives me a reason to link This Video of Ken Jeong singing it.
I had no recollection of any musical references in the movie when I wrote that line. That video just lives rent-free in my brain at all times.
Thank you again for the in-depth appreciation of my story

finally got around to watching this, which was amazing. i can see why it lives rent-free in your head! also edited my comment to fix me quoting the same paragraph twice at the end lol
So glad I came across this adorkable floofy mess of a story of two adorkable floofballs being adorkable together.
I need more of this.
It's the little TM that got me.
You might want to rephrase that.
All in all, a lovely little story. 11/10 would read again.
This is just cute
Sucks the actual show is wasting Sprout.
