Braeburn has a mighty big problem. Two problems, actually.

The first is that a secret he's been hiding for years just got found out by most all of Appleoosa.

The second is that he's been accused of killing the stallion who exposed him.

Can Macintosh figure out a way to prove Braeburn didn't do it before the dead pony's friends string him up? And, just maybe, convince him that he doesn't care who Braeburn thinks he is, he loves him just the same?

Originally written for the Incest is Wincest 2k13 Butt-Spelunkethon... though if you're hoping for clop, there's not that much of it. Somehow, another type of plot entirely decided to rear its head for the first 15k words or so. Now split up into more readable chapters.
