Comet Burst


The man without a plan.

E
Source

Big Mac is not the most outspoken pony in Ponyville. In fact, he rarely speaks at all. All he seems to do is just work on his family's farm day in and day out. Nothing else but his orchards and family seem to matter to him.

Little does anypony know, he is fulfilling the final wish of his departed mother.

To be a simple pony.

Short, bittersweet. Teary. Yes.

Yeah, this has been sitting in my 'waiting to be published or deleted' catagory for a while. I wrote a rough draft after the funeral to help cope with it and refined it slowly when I got depressed.

The sad comes from a real place. i usually resist tear-jerkers, gnashing of teeth and such, but this has that quiet quality that comes with real loss. Thank you for sharing it.

Somebody's a fan of Lynyrd Skynyrd/Shinedown I see:ajsmug:

I love it. :eeyup::eeyup::eeyup::eeyup::eeyup: Five Big Macs out of five

:fluttercry:.... so sad

Nice. If I felt anything from reading anymore, I'm pretty sure I would have shed a tear.
But nevertheless, it worked well. I liked it. Well-written like always and everything else worked well.
Good work.
But I see an incomplete tag? Continuing this?

:fluttercry: I'm so sorry about your grandfather. I felt so sad after this, my own grandfather died in Septemeber 2012... :fluttercry::fluttercry::fluttercry:

This... This right here... You...

SHED A TEAR FOR FUCKS SAKES

NO!
I stopped feeling while reading a while ago, and it was all-of-a-sudden. So I was kind of confused,
I have yet to be scared by a story, and only cried once on an MLP fic about two years ago. (Not saying):rainbowwild:

3788477 My little Dashie?

Too ways to say this:
:ajsmug: respected and
:fluttercry: that was beutiful.

Little gems like this. Sparkle greater than the rest.
Short and sweet. Love the work! :pinkiesmile:

I thought the description sounded familiar!

Baby be a simple kind of man.
Won't you do this for me son
If you can...

Beautiful. :pinkiesad2:

Ironically enough, some sad piano music started playing on my television as Big Mac was having flashbacks of his mom... ~~~ Needless to say, that didn't help at all with the tears that came shortly after. :raritycry:

Before I read it, can I just tell you one little thing?
Like, I bet it's a really good story but I just have the urge to CLICK THAT DISLIKE BUTTON

No?
It's not okay?
Okay..

But... why?:fluttershysad:

I know it doesn't have a dislike yet, but one of my goals on this site is to get 100 likes without a dislike, so please don't be cruel enough to dislike it before reading it.:pinkiesad2:

Some people just want to watch fics burn.
.......*glares at Acriimony* jerk.....

Thumbs up from me!
OH! there was a point - where you said think instead of 'thin' bark.

I don't normally cry when I read fanfiction, but this one got to me. My own mother died last November, so this hit home pretty hard. Beautifully written. :pinkiesad2:

...He head heard them many times before,...
...something that caused another tear to begin its journy down the other side of his face...

Just a few spelling errors I thought you may want to fix.

I WANTED TO SO BAD
BUT SOMEHOW
MY MOUSE FOUND ITSELF NEAR THE Mama told me when I was young... BUTTON
AND MY FINGER WAS LOCKED ON THE 'DOWN' ARROW KEY
AND IT KEPT GOING DOWN
AND I ABSORBED A BUNCH OF INFORMATION
AND then my finger floated to the 'like' button.
:rainbowdetermined2:

A labour of love, short and sweet. :pinkiesad2:

Aw man, can you hear that? Thats the sound of my heart breaking:heart:*crack*

but seriously, good story

I love that song.

This was great. Made me tear up a bit.

Sorry for your loss. :pinkiesad2:

Have a fave.

Pretty good sad fic. May your memories of your Grandfather lift you up rather than drag you down on the whole.

Noticed a few types, but didn't stop to collect them.

Be something you and everypony can understand and accept.
-I agree with this with regards to everything but the underlined portion... although even that might fit Macintosh. For most people however, trying to live based on the understanding and/or approval of the big crowd is very bad. Or is that not what this is supposed to mean?

This was truly entrancing. So much emotion brought forth. Thanks for sharing this. I teared up a bit.

P.s I had to sing the song when I got to his mother's speech.

P.p.s Seriously, thank you for writing this. It brought back a lot of memories.
