Just a writer/programmer who joined the herd fairly late... season 2 was already done. Looking forward to interacting with everybody here!

This one-shot story is about truth and family. Braeburn has something he's been wanting to get off his chest for a long time, but he isn't sure how Applejack will react.

A little side note...

I don't consider Applejack's reaction to be very realistic to her character, as I suspect Equestria would be better than this. But I wanted this story to be pretty serious in handling a particular issue, so it is what it is. This story also happened when I took a break from a different one, so it wasn't really anticipated. I hope it's decent anyway.

This was beautifully written. You got the emotions spot on, and although it was a tad short, it was still really good.
I also like that you made me think it would be a Braeburn x Applejack. The deception was really cool.
Also, No sad tag?

You had me going for a sec, there. :raritywink: I was scared this would be a Applejack/Braeburn story at first. Anyway! Your grammar was pretty perfect, and you got Brae's awkwardness across really well. Very good story, well done. Their relationship is very cute. The whole "When'm I gonna git sum great-grandkids outta you?" scenario is very realistic.

"And nothing else." LOL, sorry, shippers, nothin' to be seen here!:rainbowlaugh:

That was actually rather touching, bravo I guess! :derpytongue2:

Well I skimmed it (I don't really have too much of an attention span, so I usually skim them), and I must say I liked it. It was sweet, and best of all NO BRAEMAC! It would've ruined it completely if Braeburn said, "Yes, my bf's name is Big Mac". I don't hate the ideas that Braeburn could be gay (although I don't go along with them), I just hate incest of every shape and form.

Um, if this is a one-shot, shouldn't this be "complete" instead of "Incomplete?"

Whoops! Thanks! XD

Sad tag added. I was thinking about it, wasn't sure if the story was actually 'sad' or not since its very family-positive. Anyway thank you for all the positive feedback. I'm glad the deception worked, it was intended.

Well, the actual meaning of the last line was that the sun did not set on their relationship as cousins, as Braeburn had been concerned it might. But yes, this is not a shipping. This is just a story about a difficult confession, short and simple. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Any sort of admission to a shipping would have ruined the point of the story, I agree. It wasn't meant to be about that. I'm glad you liked it, even if you skimmed. I have done that myself, in times of haste.

Interesting works for me. :3

Interesting, but very short. I was worried this was going to be an Applejack x Braeburn fic :pinkiesick:. I guess I'm ok with gay but incest makes me feel :pinkiesick:.

Now for the followup where Braeburn has to convince Granny to pester AJ or Big Mac for great grand foals instead!

Muahaha, the consensus is that the trickery worked. While I personally don't get :pinkiesick: from much of anything, I did intend to use that taboo to the story's advantage. The idea was to draw expectations away from what Braeburn really wanted to say and I think it worked :)

You DO know you can reply to more than one post at a time, and thus not spam your own story, right? :trixieshiftright:

I have to be honest, this was just like the time I told my best friend that I was gay... I thought that I was going to faint, and she was like:rainbowderp::rainbowderp:

I got luckier than most coming out bisexual (except for the odd 'you're just gay and in denial') but I know how it can be sometimes.

I know that it can be hard sometimes, but thankfully my family accepted me without a single complain :twilightblush:

mine too, other than some confusion

Aw thanks, i plan on it. I'll probably introduce my OC soon and then do a Twilight/Fluttershy ive been contemplating

...damn you I got tricked... But then again it was a sweet lil short story so I am not that mad. Well I am not mad at you at-least. Keep up the wonderful work. :ajsmug:

Gayburn is best Braeburn.
