I have to say, I didn't expect you to be so good at writing this ship too. This was really sweet, and yes, the RariTwi parts added a lot lol.

Whoa that's a setup I have not seen before, but it worked really here! Loved this so much, such a sweet (see dense) pairing. I want to know more now.

Hate to say it but there could be a little more info regarding who divorced who at the beginning of this. Kind of had me scratching my head at first. That or I'm just tired. Overall not bad, but I want more fluff. It can never have too much fluff.

“Eeyup,” said Mac, and not much else. Shining Armor had been spending a few weeks at Twilight’s castle recovering from, well, the divorce, so the poor guy had probably been doing nothing but talk about his divorce.

oof, that is what happens with horse divorce, poor guy!

“Thanks again for helping me with these,” Shining said for the fifth time as he levitated over some rags and a jar of polish. “I’m telling you, it was driving me crazy watching how Twilight just… doesn’t take care of any of them!”

aww! this makes so much sense for them both, i can just imagine their mutual annoyance over this

Big Mac placed a hoof on Shining’s shoulder. “Not too late for these weapons, though.”

what a fantastic response from Big Mac here, he did not miss

“That’s it!” Shining huffed, cracking a grin when Mac did so as well. “I’m winning this time, even if it kills me!”
“Your funeral.”

reminds me of AppleDash energy, love it

“Thank you, darling,” Rarity told Twilight, the alicorn’s horn glowing with the magic muzzling her brother’s mouth shut.

perfection

“What’d you mean?” Shining asked, and for a second, Mac remembered the nights overhearing Rarity venting to Applejack about relationship issues, and he wondered if denseness was maybe a Sparkle family trait.

oh this is so true

Okay, he thought to himself, focusing on helping move his luggage, that’s something to think about later.

ehehe nice

Mac frowned. “Reason? Family ain’t need no reason to give presents. You mentioned you wished she had toys here for when she’s visiting. Want her to know she’s loved here too.”

augh this is just so precious and so perfectly Big Mac!

Twilight took a deep breath. “Coming!” she called out, pointedly ignoring Rarity’s desperate whispering, “Spare him the misery! Spare me! Meeee!”
Twilight opened the door, smiling warmly at her brother. “Of course, Shining. Why don’t we go to—”
“Is everything all right, dear?” Rarity innocently called out, pretending to read a magazine she’d just grabbed from a table.

this is such a good and perfect Rarity thank you

“Flurry was playing family with her dolls last week, and she, uh, kept making the ‘Daddy’ and ‘Big Mac’ dolls kiss. So, uh, yeah.”

auauaugh i am going to die of this adorableness

Taking this in, Shining looked to Twilight, and painfully vulnerable, asked, “...And… are you okay with this, Twily? You don’t care that I’m… maybe… you know…?”
Twilight stared at him like he’d gone insane. “Do I care? Shining, I—Shining—” she said, flabbergasted beyond eloquence. “I am gay, Shining Armor.”

Twilight Sparkle getting a taste of what it's like to deal with her, love it

“Well, stop it!” she demanded. “Or else I’m gonna tell Granny Smith you keep missing out on chores because you’re too busy with your dumb dates!” That said, she trotted off, making it a point to slam the barn door as hard as she could.

absolutely love it that this is how these two idiots both realize that they’re already dating

And then, before he could remind her to say goodnight to Mac, she turned to Mac and said, “Daddy Mac tucking me too?”

auaugh perfect!

One he’d make sure to grow strong and sturdy like an apple tree.

and Shining Armor merging into the Apple Family seamlessly with this final line, great way to end it. such a lovely story, and the RariTwi bits were great for providing context to why and how Shining Armor is the way he is. i know i am not the giftee here, but thank you so much!
