During her tenure as the Terrible and Despotic Trixie, the showmare had certain needs. Needs a certain stallion helped her with. Getting in her good graces couldn’t hurt… and he got in real good. And it certainly didn’t hurt.
Big Macintosh has a rather strange crush on Trixie. When she's running late for a show and needs to return a book, he decides to check it out to discuss it with her. Only problem? It's Saddlespeare, his old enemy from high school lit class.
After the Ursa Minor incident, Trixie's life has been going downhill. And just as she thinks she's hit rock bottom she meets a rather large red earth pony who offers her a place to stay.
