>His hooves slip in the muddy soil of the Everfree forest
>Each slide an exhausted grunt leaves his sore and beaten body
>With increasing resolve he digs in his hooves and pulls the log once more

>He rams against his horse collar once more
>He cannot fail his family
>They count on him
>The straps fall slack
>The log doesn't budge

>his hooves tremble in the dirt as he can't shake the thoughts of that poor little colt never got to have a foalhood
>He bore his daddys horse collar with pride

>When was the last time he felt loved
>Big Macintosh stumbles
>Falling to his rump, he plants his butt on the log
>A whimper escapes the stoic stallion's lips
>All he wanted was just one more night with his mama
>The tears run down his face as he reminisces
>Warm, tucked in under the soft quilted blankets
>A kiss on the forehead
>The red stallion grits his teeth but the warm smile his mom's face that once brought him comfort now brings him pain
>The sobs escape the stallions face as a cool calm falls over the everfree forest
>A low fog drifts across the forest as the heartbroken stallion weeps over what he has lost
"Little colt, are you lost?"
>Big Mac wipes his tears and take a breath of courage to put on his facade
>He looks up expecting applejack to be check on the progress of hauling the log
>His chest grows tight with fear as his eyes meet the gaze of a ghostly white mare

"Eh-nope"

>29 Bits
Is 29 the age of this Anon? Cuz getting older would make the reversion process via species/age (and possibly back again in the latter case) a bit more complicated and tricky.

>Big mac looks though the crack in the door to Applebloom's room
>The exhausted mare ushers the filly to bed fighting to keep on her hooves
>He watched with delight as Applejack makes her effort in the warm glowing light of the room
"Alright now Applebloom, yall better be getting to now there's alot more work to do tomorrow you're gonna need all the energy you can get"
>Applebloom wiggles her way under the sheets.
>Big Mac knows applejack is just making sure applebloom is doing what she needs to do to keep her on track but sometimes he feels she can be a bit tough on the filly
"Ya' know im not a little filly anymore right? I can take care of myself"
>Applejack shakes her head giving her little sister's mane a pat
>Big Mac feels his insides turn hearing those words from Applebloom's mouth
>Though he's usually content to leave the sisters be, he nudges his head to go inside
>He fights the urge to turn around instead returning a nervous smile and a reassuring nod to Applejack
>Applejack turns to the pouty filly and rolls her eyes and speaks with a nagging motherly tone
"Ya know what, why don't you have Big Mac put you to bed, i need to get to bed myself"
>The red stallion nervously watches as Applejack slowly trots out of the room giving her big brother a loving hoof tap on the shoulder and a smile
>As the door closes behind him, he turns his attention to his little sister
>He knows the poor filly has been thinking an awful lot lately and the pouty face doesn't lie
"Im going to bed, I don't need to be told what to do, im not a little filly anymore"
>With a loving smile he approaches her bedside
>Not being much for words, he simply shows her what he wants to say
>His hooves lovingly tuck her quilted sheets around her to protect her from the cold night ahead
>He can't help his nervous smile as he feels like he's not conveying what he wants to say
>With his little sister warm and tucked in, he lovingly strokes her mane and gives her a kiss on the head
>Did he make it weird? Does she understand what he's trying to say?
>His relief is instant as a blush comes over the filly as she snuggles into the sheets
"Aw, I love you too Big Mac"
>The Big brother stallion is overwhelmed with joy as he turns out the lamp
"Good night Applebloom"
>The big stallion can't hold back a triumphant grin as he closes the door behind him
>With a pep in his step he makes his way to bed proud to be his family's reliable and dependable big brother

Nice! I like how Big Mac's stoicism & vulnerability and allowed to coexist, a lot of stories play it like a light switch.

>>43481840
Thank you, it means alot. Big Mac is a criminally underrated character and there's so much potential there as he basically never expresses his feelings in the show leaving him effectively a blank slate to write. It was nice writing happy big mac

I wanna be turned into a pony and be tortured in a government laboratory and develop stockholm-syndrome for the scientist that feeds me

Kinda based. Is the scientist also the one doing the torturing, or is this a good cop/bad cop scenario?

>>43484754
Yes, but you're still a disgusting bug at the end of the day

>>43483018
>>43484696
I like it...some very valid questions. Are you looking to get your wish fulfilled anon? If so spill the deets. Im thinking Pon-E test trials in a government facility where their pill meant to heal catastrophic injuries leads to pony transformation. Rather than admit the truth, you are disappeared and held captive by the only scientist interested in keeping you as a pet rather than seeing you euthanized for the pony abomination you really are

>>43483018
Some additional things im thinking. The scientist is completely devoid of empathy, he sees you as his personal psychological experiment. He wants to shatter your brain to where you are so dependant on him that you give up everything for his head pats and sugarcubes. Your heart races with joy whenever he says good pony. The climax being the ultimate chance to escape. The scientist leaves the door to the office open, your cage unlocked and you're too scared to step outside of your cage worried you might upset your owner and better yet, thinking of the praise you'll get when he returns and sees you didn't even try to escape
