Being the mayor of Ponyville is not easy, not when you have the Elements of Harmony and the Cuite Mark Crusaders always causing trouble. Mayor Mare has a solution however, a Bachelor auction and Big Mac is the star of her little show. Follow Mac as he goes through his own personal hell, while the other stallions seem to be enjoying themselves!

Stallions on the Block: Big Mac, Soarin, Braeburn, Bulk Biceps, Prince Blueblood, Flash Sentry, Caramel, Thunderlane, Dr. Whooves/Time Turner, and Spike! Also two new ponies that you might be able to recognize.

Featured Story?! Thank you all!

Update: Since all of you have been debating the age, Jake and I have decided that the ages are as followed. Main Six are in their early twenties. CMC/Spike pre-teens 10-12. Mac mid twenties.

Thank you as always to jszellmer for the edits.

Thank you to KarmaDash for the idea bouncing along with Shrapmo as well.

Finally thank you mcwhale4 for the great cover art!

Also, here is what Auction has been like for Jake and Cap
Enjoy!

This story is a sequel to Ordinary World

There's something deadly in the Everfree Forest, and Fleur de Lis' distracting magic is the only thing keeping ponies away and safe. But when her decoy fails, she has to go find out why.

Big McIntosh is doing Fine Crime a favor when he spots a strange mare in the woods. Thinking she might be lost, he follows her deep into the Everfree.

By coincidence or fate, Fleur and Big McIntosh are stuck together in the Everfree. Big McIntosh doesn't take to her shallow nature, and she's not too fond of his disinterest in the hottest mare in Canterlot! But they'll soon find out there's more to each other than meets the eye. Together, they must struggle to survive the local wildlife and the fatal cold of a winter's night in the Everfree.

But not all the threats that thrive in the forest are natural.

Sweet to Eat: Tales of Nightmare Night

The Apple family farm is in trouble. It was once underwater, but Discord fixed that. Now it’s underwater with a horrible, evil, greedy creature: a bank. Big Mac has only one day to get the bits together. After overhearing the flower mares talk about him, he gets an idea. It’s the oldest profession in the world, so how hard could it be?

All he has to do is keep quiet while he conducts business. So long as the customers are happy, and the bits are flowing, it’s all worth it. It’s just his reputation, self-esteem, health, and dignity on the line. It’s just a roll in the hay— it doesn’t mean anything…

Right?

Vinyl Scratch never wanted to leave her hometown. Joining a brand new school in her senior year certainly doesn't help, either. At least she made a few friends, one in particular being a large apple farmer. But is it just friendship, or something more? In a world of change, only one truth stays the same for Vinyl. High school sucks.

This is my first human fic. I always like toying around with unique ships, and I've only seen one or two Mac-Scratchs. Except a lot of fluff, and not much else. I started this as an experiment, and to try something new, so constructive criticism would be highly appreciated. And of course, rate and favorite if you enjoy!

If you asked Big Macintosh what he liked about a pony there would be very little about Vinyl Scratch that would fit the bill. That's probably why he doesn't really like her. You might even say he detested her.

Then again, he hardly knows her.
Nothing that a bit of forced confinement can't fix.

Written for the Straight Shipping group 'A disagreement of sorts' competition. Yes, I couldn't think of a better name, sue me. Also written on a very random prompt from a friend who sarcastically said 'I ship it' when he saw a picture of Big Mac and Vinyl somewhere vaguely near each other.
