Chapter 1
Let’s see, purple, yellow, red, orange...wait, no white? Farore[1] damnit Golden Harvest, you know I like my white carrots! That’s the last time I’m going to give you bits without checking the bag first.
Epona let out a snort of disappointment as she used her hooves to spread out the carrots into colour-coded piles. Other ponies might have said it didn’t matter since there was little difference between colours. Other ponies also had uncultured palettes and would probably think grass tasted just as well as carrots did! Still, Epona had adjusted to many things since wandering into this realm, such as having much finer grip with her hooves and teeth than she once had possessed. She would be able to go a few days without white carrots.
She let out a whinny at the thought regardless as Epona put the separated carrots away into individual bags and their crisper, leaving out a few of the orange carrots. Epona would slice those up and fry them along with the dinner her husband was bringing in. Cooking was still a strange activity for her, having once been a mere beast of burden used to carry humans and goods around, and occasionally being used as a war mount. It was still unsettling for Epona to think she had gone from that to a shrunken-down pony, especially one who played the domestic horsewife in a little forest town called Ponyville.
Epona let out another snort. Well, while she had shrunk down, and gained a dosage of intelligence, at least she hadn’t changed species entirely. That fate had been for somepony else.
With a little bit of fumbling, she put the carrots she had left out in the sink, and aggressively scrubbed them with water to clean them of dirt. Once that was done, Epona would leave the carrots to dry, and only slice them when she had the other half of her planned dinner on hoof.
She turned, only to stop as Epona caught her reflection in the mirror. Twin horseshoes adorned her thighs, supposedly indicating her love of running, though they only covered up another mark. There was something odd about Equestria she still wasn’t quite able to put her hoof on. It was as if all the colours were just slightly brighter than they were in Hyrule. It was vain of Epona to think of it, but she thought she looked attractive, especially compared to the other ponies: her golden eyes, shining in the daylight, contrasted well against her maple brown coat and platinum-white mane and tail. Her maple brown coat terminated around her fetlocks, where she had a smattering of hair as white as her mane and tail before finally getting down to her hooves. The white blaze marking that extended down her muzzle was also a rare feature in Equestria, giving her an exotic feeling.
It helped that Epona was a prior acquaintance of her husband before they left Hyrule. However, good looks were still useful in beating off all the hussies that dared eye up her stallion.
The door opened. Epona’s ear flickered at the sudden sound, and her head whipped over. She sniffed the air a few times, her suspicions confirmed.
“Epona, I’m home! I brought home fish!,” the chestnut-brown Earth pony announced as he walked through the door. He had a brief moment’s respite for Epona to make sure he wasn’t carrying fish on him at that moment before the mare pounced on him, knocking him over. Quickly, Epona pinned him down underneath her, his back to the floor. Golden eyes peered into eyes of a soft, sky blue. She remarked on how similar they might look from a difference: both Earth ponies, both with white blazes on their muzzles, her own coat a slightly more gold-tinted maple brown than his.
“I missed you, Link,” Epona said as she nuzzled him, while brushing a hoof through his golden locks.
“Epona, seriously! I’ve told you, it’s Quarter Hearts now! Quarter Hearts!” Link protested, before calming down as Epona continued her nuzzling. “Aw, you know I can’t remain mad at you, girl,” he said as he brought a hoof up, petting her between the ears.
“Nnnngh, yes, that’s the spot, Link,” Epona moaned in ecstasy as she went limp under Link’s mighty ear rub. “Yeeeees, just like that.”
“Much as I’d love to, I need to bring the fish in,” he said. To Epona’s disappointment, he gently moved her aside, picked up his Phrygian cap that she had knocked over and hung it up on a hat rack. He then went outside, and quickly brought back in a fishing rod and a small bag.
“The catch was good today, then?,” Epona asked, amused.
“Yes, it was. I don’t get so many weird looks from the other ponies now that they’re used to me doing it. Seriously, I can’t believe only the pegasi in Ponyville bother to eat fish!”
“Well, fish gives you energy, right? So maybe we can put that energy to good use,” Epona said, flicking her tail so it brushed by Link’s muzzle.
Link rolled his eyes. “Food first,” he said.
Epona pouted. “You’re no fun,” she said, but she grabbed the bag of fish Link had brought in with her mouth, and threw it up onto the table. Emptying out its contents, she quickly started processing the fish, slicing off the skin, tail and other undesirable parts with a knife. Link joined her and helped her out in the gory activity. He had a stronger stomach for the activity than she did, but Epona had fought literal monsters and skeletons in the past while acting as his mount. She was even able to repress her instincts to run away whenever Link had approached her as a wolf and communicated with her. Slicing and dicing a little fish wasn’t going to make her feel light-headed.
In no time at all, the carrots were sliced, most of the fish was put in the icebox, and the meal was cooked and braized. The two ponies took their places to eat, sitting on their haunches at a low table as opposed to sitting on chairs at a higher table. By now, it was dark out, and Epona lit up the candles to provide light to eat by.
“It still feels odd eating off a plate with silverware,” Epona said.
“It’s not so bad. Then again, for me, it’s the eating with hooves part,” said Link.
Epona took her first bite of carrots, and let her head tilt back as she basked in the magnificent taste of the carrots, cooked and sprinkled with a little bit of spice.
“It’s good, then?,” Link teased.
“Simply divine,” said Epona, already perking up. Carrots always had been her favorite food, more than even the softest, most fragrant hay ever was, and the move from raw carrots to cooked carrots as they had moved from Hyrule to Equestria had been as much an eye-opener for her as a land of speaking, magical ponies was. The fish wasn’t as good, but Link liked it, his taste buds still used to his normal fare as a human, so that was good enough for her.
The food disappeared in no time. With it went Epona’s reservations. She picked up the dirty dishes in her muzzle, putting them away in the sink, then turned around.
With a few strides, she went up to Link and kissed him on the lips, leaning slightly up on her hooves to do so.
Link had been fully expecting it, and returned the kiss, wrapping his hooves up around her back.
Epona clung to Link, brushing her hooves through his soft, chestnut-brown coat, loving the pleasant texture of his fur. The kiss was warm, though slightly spicy from the remnants of dinner. She darted her lips out, gaining acceptance, and soon found her insides heating as she entered Link’s mouth. The two battled for dominance before Epona quickly retreated, flushing as she broke off the kiss. Despite spending some time in this realm, her instincts as only a semi-intelligent horse made situations like this still awkward for her.
“Ah, it’s so nice to be here today with you,” Epona said, making small talk as she buried her head in the scruff of Link’s neck, nuzzling it again before placing her ear up against his collarbone. Epona had fought monsters before, but it was always with Link riding her. He was her security blanket, her entire world. Hearing his heartbeat was comforting.
Link was silent, but slowly he lowered both himself and Epona down to the floor, lying down on their sides, before rolling over so Epona was on top of him. The floor was uncomfortable but only modestly so.
The two ponies laid there in the position for several minutes, reveling in being in the warmth and comfort of one another’s hooves. They let their minds wander: the one thought about the imp queen he had befriended, and how his journey to find a way to the Twilight Realm had instead deposited him into the land of Equestria, turned into a pony. The other thought about how her body had shrank and her mental faculties grew as she ended up here.
Both thought about how they had met the Princess who raised the Sun, proving Link still had some of the power the Goddess of Courage Farore had granted him with the mysterious Hylian Crest[2] that was emblazoned on his thighs, and found out the only relic in this world that could travel between realms was too dangerous to use. They thought about how they decided to stay in Equestria, with a monthly stipend from the Crown in return for Link acting as a last-line defense should all of Equestria’s other forces fall against a future dark force. They thought about how, with permission from the Sun Princess to perform otherwise-forbidden magic, they had hidden their Cutie Marks of the Triforce and Golden Bird in Link’s case and just the Triforce in Epona’s case with more innocuous Cutie Marks, one with a partially-filled heart container and the other with horseshoes.
But mostly, Epona and Link each thought about how they slowly had moved beyond their relationship of stable hand-turned-hero and trustworthy steed to one of friends able to intelligently converse at all times, then to lovers, and finally to husband and wife. In the process, one had gotten past her reluctance to see past their prior relationship as master and steed; the other had adapted to his new form, and his sexuality had changed to finally see other horses as attractive.
Epona looked at Link’s sky-blue eyes again, drinking up the subtle signs of intelligence there. Then her one hoof wandered down past her barrel, and rubbed around the site of Link’s crotch.
“Nnngh,” Link moaned slowly, letting his head tilt back onto the floor. Epona wasted little time as she picked herself up and turned around, reversing her positioning so her back end was pointed toward Link’s head, and flopped down onto him again.
“Come out, come out,” she cooed as she softly blew air at Link’s stallionhood, encouraging it to grow out of its sheath. Epona watched fascinated as it did just that, gaining in length and girth as it extended, pointing straight up. She wrapped her hooves around his horsecock just under the medial ring, stroking the base. Epona eyed the flared tip of Link’s stallionhood for a few seconds, observing its colour, a chocolate brown in contrast to the rest of his chestnut-brown coat. Then she lowered her muzzle to the tip.
Epona felt her cheeks swell immediately as she took the head of the horsecock into her mouth. She thought she must look like what a squirrel did when its mouth was full with nuts, or perhaps when Epona herself had stuffed carrots in her own mouth. She began to take more of the stallionhood in, until it was just shy of uncomfortable for Epona. Letting her lips continue to form a seal, Epona began to bob up and down on the horsecock, wetting it with her saliva.
“Nggh, oh, Epona, that’s tooooo gooood,” Link continued to moan from behind her. Epona paid heed to his compliment but didn’t stop. She imagined shapes in her mind and tried to draw them best as she could on the side of Link’s cock with her tongue, moving first through the Hylian alphabet and then the Equestrian alphabet. Every so often, she very lightly grazed the skin and exposed glans of the stiff stallionhood with her teeth.
Then she felt a muzzle pressing against her hindquarters, and Epona nearly let out an ‘eep’ of surprise. Link’s nose was cold, and as it brushed up against her genitals the chill had taken her off-guard. Epona quickly relaxed into her lover’s probing, however, sweeping her tail to the side to offer up free, unprotected access to her back side. She let out a moan of satisfied pleasure as Epona felt Link’s tongue prodding at her pussy, taking an exploratory survey of her outsides as it swirled around in a circular lick once, twice, three times before darting in further.
Even such a light touch against her marehood was enough for a warm tingle of pleasure to wash over Epona, and she closed her eyes, happy with her lot in life. Epona didn’t stop bobbing, however, continuing to tilt her head and mouth up every few seconds, trailing her tongue against the length of Link’s stallionhood, changing it up every so often by licking side to side.
Epona’s one hoof wandered down past the horsecock to Link’s balls, bulging out from his body like a pair of grapes. She gently fondled them, caressing them like her own carrots, making certain not to apply too much pressure, giving them a soft enough touch to merely stimulate his cock further. The pulsing of the stallionhood in her mouth paid credit to her expert touch, and Epona continued to play with Link’s ballsack with one hoof, while holding onto the base of his girth with the other. All the while, she steadily licked away at the upper half of Link’s shaft.
Then Epona gasped, as Link went deeper into her marehood. Epona stopped what she was doing, sinking her head down and taking in as much of Link’s horsecock as she could. His tongue was working wonders. Every time he slurped away at inside walls, a feeling of white warmth reverberated through her back, her tail perking up and stiffening, pointing straight up rigidly as Epona shivered, hooves trembling in pleasure. Epona could feel her inner walls becoming practically soaked with wetness, only for Link to continue licking her dry.
She bobbed up and let Link’s cock out of her mouth. Epona still kept the tip against her tongue, bathing it in her warmth and moistness even as her tongue hung out of her body, drooling in anticipation. “Oh—theth—Link—th—thath tho goooood,” Epona said, finding herself being the one to moan incoherently this time.
Her moaning egged Link on further, as he pressed his muzzle deeper into Epona’s horsepussy, lapping away at her mare fluids, and Epona’s eyes rolled up to the back of her head. Her body was tensed like a snake, coiled up and ready to cum at a moment’s notice.
Then Link dragged his tongue out of her marehood, doing it in a slow, aggravating matter, until he brushed up against her clitoris.
That was enough for Epona, as she let out a whinny, her pussy clamping on down what little of Link’s muzzle was still in it and gushing out more mare cum. Her sudden euphoria lifted Epona to a new high, and for a moment she was no longer in the living area of her homestead, the only source of light and warmth coming from her husband’s body and the flickering candles. Instead, she was up on high in nirvana, as every cell of her body exalted in the glorious pleasures of the flesh.
Then Epona came down from the high, and found herself panting, tongue still wrapped around Link’s flare. It took her eyes a few seconds to adjust, having lost focus in the wave of pleasure she had experienced.
“Ri—righ—,” she said, still unable to fully form a word, and fully pursed her lips around her stallion’s horsecock again. This time, instead of bobbing up and down, Epona focused on swirling her tongue around the tip of Link’s stallionhood, taking to the slightly salty flavor of the precum already leaking out. At the same time, Epona loved it every time she breathed through her nostrils, basking in the smell of the natural masculine musk of her husband. It was a scent that made her heady every time she took it in.
Epona bubbled up with giddiness as she felt the engorged head of the horsecock twitching under her ministrations. She knew what it meant, and feeling Link working his tongue again on her own genitals, she was determined not to fall behind in the tally for orgasms tonight. Quickly, she wrapped her lips just underneath the flare of Link’s cock, bobbed her head down one more time, and then hummed, causing her mouth to vibrate. To her delight, Epona felt Link’s cock twitch harder, suddenly spasming, and Link jerked his hips, before he finally came.
The first spurt of cum into her mouth nearly caused Epona to choke, before she got her gag reflex under control and passed the stallion seed into the side of her mouth, intending to savor it. The second shot was the big dollop of cum, and Epona let it linger on her tongue. The third shot of cum was less volume, and by the fourth the amount was negligible.
Epona swirled the seed in her mouth around, feeling once more like she must look like that squirrel stuffed with nuts. The mare let the hot cum sit on her tongue, taking in the salty, slightly fruity taste of the spunk, marveling over its intricacies. At the back of her horse brain, peripherally she felt Link continuing to lick and prod away at her marehood, intent on bringing her to a second orgasm. For now, Epona’s focus was on the stallion seed that coated her mouth.
It was to her disappointment that the taste finally went away. When it did, she finally swallowed, licked the outside of her muzzle in a vain search for any cum that had leaked outside, then smacked her lips.
Then Epona tensed again as she felt another orgasm incoming, Link having accumulated a great amount of experience since they had settled down in Equestria. Epona restrained her body from cumming. Holding on in the past had led to greater, more powerful orgasms, and she wanted something so pleasurable that it would make her see stars again.
Link suddenly stopped. Epona suddenly frowned, and turned her head around to protest, only to stop as she realised what he was doing.
“Do do do, do do do, do do do do do,”[3] Link was whistling, the pitch changing slightly with every note, and that was all it took for Epona to cum again.
Epona rocked her head back again for the second time in the last few minutes, her body trembling again at a second wave of pleasure. This time, Epona was even more sensitive than before, and she was certain the slightest touch against her marehood would leave her a quivering mass of nerves. However, once her light-headedness had passed, she fully turned around, glaring at Link. “That was cheating!,” she accused him.
Link’s blue eyes were full of mischief, a lazy grin on his chestnut-brown muzzle. “Well, you always did ‘come’ to that song,” he teased.
“Oh, you!” Epona let out a snort, before getting in close, pressing her nose up against his. “Just for that, I should end this right now!”
“But you won’t,” said Link.
“No, I won’t,” Epona agreed, feeling her tail wag left and right behind her in anticipation, before betraying her earlier threat by brushing against Link’s stallionhood.
“Well, we should at least take this upstairs,” Link said. “This floor is a killer on my back, and I don’t want to have to clean it up tomorrow.”
Epona conceded the point, finally getting off of Link so he could get up. The two quickly darted up the stairs to their bedroom. Once inside, Epona quickly hopped up onto the bed. She sat down on her barrel, before putting her back hooves up, raising her rump. She quickly moved her tail to the side, making sure Link could see the prize that awaited.
She could almost hear him gulp. Even now, Epona knew the stallion occasionally hesitated, the orientation of his birth species still filtering through, but they had had sex enough times that the moment always passed. Sure enough, she felt the bed slightly sag underneath her as Link hopped on as well, adding his weight to the mattress.
“You’re eager tonight,” Link commented as he mounted her, and Epona gripped the sheets under her hooves as he slid into her pussy, all too easily filling her up in a way that left her feeling just slightly guilty at how good it felt.
“When am I not?,” she asked with a chuckle, looking at him as he brought his head up besides her, wrapping his front hooves around her body to stabilise himself.
“Maybe I should start calling you Epoona,” he teased.
“Don’t call me that!,” Epona hissed back, before her voice softened. “You can call me honey or sweetie, though.”
“Well, how about, I love you, sweetie,” Link said, nipping at Epona’s ear.
“And I love you too, honey,” Epona responded, enjoying the brief attention paid to her ear before Link suddenly pulled out, and she gasped. After two orgasms, she had been left sensitive, and even the brief friction his horsecock created as he slid in and out felt so exquisitely divine it bordered on uncomfortable. “Ahhh, don’t stop,” she said, going limp, leaving it up to Link to hold her back up.
“Hyaa,” Link grunted, moving back in deeper again, slowly speeding up his pace. Epona could feel his stallionhood get longer and begin to swell up again, having previously begun to retreat back into his sheath. As Link continued to increase his tempo, Epona started to buck her hips back up against him in timing. Each time, there was a smacking sound as wet fur met wet fur.
Epona quickly gave up the act, however, dropping back down as the bundle of nerves in her clitoris and marehood were on fire. Even the slightest touch left her reeling in pleasure, her hooves shaking as her entire body was balanced on a fine trapeze line, waiting to fall over into a blinding orgasm. To her disappointment, the moment didn’t come, but the crescendo of warm sensation kept building up in her stomach, the pleasure becoming amorphous, almost painful. Her tongue lolled out of Epona’s mouth, frozen, waiting for the one moment in which her frame would be overcome with a roiling heat wave of pleasure.
“Oh, Epona, you feel so good tonight,” said Link as he continued to build his way up to his own orgasm, well aware of how close his mare was to climax. He knew just how to work Epona, having reared her as a filly, then mounting and riding her on many occasion, then coming to this world where ‘mounting and riding’ had taken on a different connotation. “Let me guess, it’s going to be another intense one for you tonight?”
“Da—da...da…,” was all Epona could say, her eyes glazed over as she started to drool onto the bedsheets.
Link thoroughly enjoyed the goofy look on her face. “I’ll take that for a yes.” He continued to thrust in and out of her marehood, his horsecock well lubricated from the earlier blowjob. He could feel the fire in his loins, but his body needed that last little bit of stimulation to get over the edge for the second time that night. Link slowed down, catching a breather, before pressing himself even deeper into Epona, past his medial ring, until he was fully entrenched inside her. Then he pulled out slightly, meeting greater resistance this time, before pumping himself back into Epona.
His cock quivered, close, and Link could feel the muscles of his crotch down to his anus all working, waiting for the moment, yet orgasm still seemed tantalisingly out of reach, his body seemingly refusing to just cum again.
So it was to be the zero option again. It seemed like cheating to use it twice in one night, when normally stallion and mare tried to work one another to greater heights, but this was ridiculous. Slowing down, Link took in a few breaths, and then startled to whistle again. “Do do do, do do do, do do do do do,” he whistled, getting Epona’s song pitch perfect.
Epona suddenly let out a whinny, bucking out with one back leg. Her horsepussy clenched around him, contracting his cock and attempting to wringe it for some cum. Link’s body finally complied. “Hyaa!” He grunted in pleasure as he could feel his balls finally churning, and he shot out a large stream of hot seed into Epona’s marehood, painting her insides. His barrel, so tightly wound, uncoiled in the process, and he felt satisfied as another jet of cum spurted into his mare.
For her part, as she finally regained some semblance of awareness after her third orgasm of the night, Epona closed her eyes, sighing in bliss at the sensation of warm cum sitting in her insides, slowly travelling deeper and deeper into her, leaving a fulfilling feeling behind.
Link finally collapsed on top of Epona. The two rolled over so each were on their sides, Epona in Link’s embrace, still joined together at the hips, her maple-brown coat melding well into his chestnut-brown. They stayed there for several minutes, merely enjoying the warmth of one another’s bodies, and the reassuring sound of each other’s heartbeat. The wetness at their crotches from their nightly tantric rituals was a sign of their love for one another.
“So, round three?,” Link asked.
Epona turned around, a mischievous look in her golden eyes. “If you’re up for it, lover boy,” she said.
Link flushed, knowing his refractory period was longer than hers. “Careful now.”
“Or else what?,” Epona teased.
He smiled right back at her, and her heart fluttered at the look, framed by his beautiful golden tresses and bright blue eyes. Then his smile turned downright predatory. “Don’t tell me you’ve forgotten what tomorrow night is.”
Epona frowned at him for a second, before her eyes widened and her hackles rose. She had forgotten what tomorrow night was. Then she smiled wickedly in response. “We’ll see who comes out on top.”
Link’s grin was full of mirth, and he nibbled on her ears for a few seconds. He stopped only when when Epona let out a light neigh of protest. “We’ll see, huh? Tell me Epona, will you be so confident in front of the big, bad wolf?!”
