Equestria Handyman

Taking a deep breath Fluttershy looks at the pamphlet in her hands for a moment before looking up at Mark's house.

It’s for the herd, it’s for the herd. I know he will support me.

Stealing her resolve she knocks on the door only to find it unlocked, confusing the mare.

“Mark?” She pokes her head to look after him, finding the place oddly quiet and dark to be so late at night.

“I’m coming in” She closes the door behind her and hears some grunts in the distance that make her worry. “Mark? Where are you?”

Suddenly the grunts stop and she hears a door open and close fast revealing a spotlight which she follows but is confused when she finds only the bathroom and Mark's pants.

“Huh?”

Hearing a growl behind her Fluttershy shivers before feeling a hand turning her around and kissing her as Mark pins her to the wall in need as his mouth invades hers, claiming her tongue.

Moaning in approval she hugs him back and closes her eyes.

“W-Wait! This is wrong.” Mark stops and breaks the kiss. “I…I just got worked up and was so horny. Fluttershy, I’m sorry I shouldn’t...!” He can’t say anything else as she launches at him too and resumes the kiss as they growl and she dry humps his hips while he desperately starts to rip her clothes off.

From the window a raven was looking at everything unfold with a shocked face.

‘By the ancient hive, is he intending to eat her?!’

She wanted to look away but the lust had left her drunk and the love froze her in place as those two continued to hump like wild animals, for well over an hour.

“…And then after discovering that Moondancer has a triple D size breast in a micro bikini I was virtually starving. I almost went to your house and just ram you right in the open.” Mark confesses in shame as Fluttershy coos and circles her hand over his chest. “Thank god I managed to control myself and instead went home to try to calm down. Managed to rub a couple more and try to sleep it off, but the image simply lingered.”

He smiles and looks lovingly at Fluttershy. “Until I saw you and remembered something far, more incredible.” He gives her a good slap, making her gasp in delight and kisses her passionately.

“Sorry for the cloths”

“It’s ok, I already prepared spares just for that.” Fluttershy says not the slightly angry for what happened and gives him an esquimo kiss “I will always be ready for my sweet little hunter” She giggles and places her head against his chest, the heart beating almost a lullaby to her. “I might have to thank Twilight now, perhaps even hope you walk in on her more often”

He chuckled and shook his head. “God I hope not, things are more than awkward as they are, I could sure have lived not knowing where she had concealed beauty marks.”

They share another laugh as they hold hands and stare at the ceiling. “So not that I don’t love having my kitty here, because I really love you here, like this.” He emphasizes his point by rubbing her hips as she rubs her pussy against one of his legs. “But what brings you here? Did you want to tell me something?”

“Oh yeah I wanted to show you something.” She stands up and looks at the ragged clothes on the floor. “Where is it, I’m sure I dropped it near here.” She kept looking, giving Mark a pleasant view of her ass as she kept bending over to look around “Aha! Here it is.” She finds the pamphlet and returns to bed, where she gets in her usual position and shows him the paper in question.

‘You and your mares, a trip to grow closer.’” Mark read out loud the title. “I think it’s too late for that fluttershy I don’t know how much closer we can get than this.” He chuckles and hugs her closer to his frame as she giggles and nods.

“It is not that silly, it is a special kind of retreat. One to help mares like me get comfortable with intimacy with their stallions and other mares.” She explains.

“Oh, Fluttershy are you sure about this?” Mark asks her in concern as she nods “I already told Milky and Umbral and they were ok with it too. Mark, you know how much I love you, right?”

“Of course, and I love you too with all my heart.”

“Then you understand, being nervous and afraid of sharing you, fearing another kitty will come around and try to take my place. I’m the primal kitty.” she tells with finality. “And you are my hunter, and need to hunt. I want to be a part of it, and I want to help you. Maybe even help you create a Pride but to do so I need to be able to stand my ground” She looked up at him.

“But I can’t do it alone, so please Mark, would you join me?”

He smiles and grabs her hand. “As long as this is What you really want, I will gladly help in whatever manner possible.”

“Thank you!” She kisses him with tearful eyes. “And don’t worry it still 2 weeks away, there is plenty of time.”

“Ha good to know.” He opens the pamphlet and starts to read the program. “I’m sure Molly would love to hear this news too, it will be fun having some couples activities, I mean mountain climbing, kayaks, water trust exercise, camping, organized orgies, what?!” He asks in shock at the last part.

“Don’t worry it’s full mares on one stallion, I asked.” Fluttershy calms him down and leans on his head. “I know you will be spectacular, my sweet beautiful hunter.” She praises him one last time before falling asleep as Mark only looks at the ceiling.

“What did I just agree to?” He whispers to himself in slight fear at the last activity.

Outside the window a raven rubs her large belly before changing back into a long black pony with holes in her hoof, wearing a green kimono and having long damp green hair as she leans on a tree and burps occasionally.

I can’t believe it, that hairless monkey managed to fill me up just by proximity alone. His love is just as strong as Shining Armor’s!’ She chuckled to herself. ‘I must have him, with him as my battery, Equestria would be… ‘

She has to stop and rush to a nearby bush to throw up the effects of the lust finally catching on to her. “Ah sweet heavens my head is killing me!”

The following days, things return to relatively ease, as Mark starts to get more customers and job offers for his services as a handyman. With Queen Rain and her request to help build some houses for her town being the first on the list.

Gradually his popularity started to grow and even if still limited to Ponyville his name and mark was getting more recognized, giving him a boost of confidence as he continued his lessons of how to herd ponies.

“Ok loyalty of course is more than important for any stallion, a good stallion would never ever, ever cheat on his herd.”

“Ok but how exactly would he be cheating?”

“Well duh, by dating a mare outside his herd.”

“Ah but isn’t that how he increases his herd?”

“Well yeah of course that is how it works.”

“Ok then how is that cheating then?”

“Are you even listening? I said just by going behind his herd's back.”

“But you just said…”

“What do I have to draw a picture for you?” She asks, getting annoyed.

“Ok I was fearing this might happen.” Starlight intervenes, entering the room. “Dash, have you ever dated before?”

“Of course I have!” she says defiantly.

“Have you ever entered a herd before?”

“I…” She can’t reply.

“Yep, I thought so.” She sighs and approaches the human. “Look Mark, what Dash is trying to say is the key of a healthy loyal herd is communication and understanding, loyalty comes from establishing rules and talking when you wish to pursue any mare whatsoever. Going and inviting a mare without commenting at the very least your alpha IS what is considered cheating.

“Oh I get it now.”

“Of course not all herds work like that. It all depends on the arrangement you have come up with, Twilight told me you and Milky develop a fairly casual and open herd relationship, correct?”

“Yep, we both can look and date any mare we want as long as we tell the other about our exploits and then we discuss if we let the candidate join or not our herds.”

Starlight nods “And did she add another rule? Like a particular mare or group of mares you can’t see?”

“Well she requested me for one thing. Making babies that are exclusively just in the herd.”

“There you go! You stay loyal, as long as that rule isn’t broken.”

“I got it”

“That is what I was saying” Dash complained and both of them looked at her with neutrality.

“What?”

The next day

“The key for a happy herd is sharing laughter and hobbies.” Pinkie tells while juggling with Cheese Sandwich.

“Talking about what you like and dislike can help you find a middle ground and even maybe find something you love too.” Cheese continued.

“Before looking at other mares, think about what you both like to do and what hobbies you have.” They toss their props and start to perform an athletic act in front of him and Rose who clap in happiness.

“Even if there is no common ground, sharing what you like shows trust and understanding, and caring for your significant other, and add weight when they go out of the way to be a part of what you enjoy and vice versa.” Then end up the act by kneeling in front of Rose and show them a boutique of roses that light her mood as she hug her presents.

“When you understand your partners, your herd will always be a happy herd.” Rose finishes and they come for a group hug giggling at the display.

“Sharing common ground, and telling about hobbies” Mark wrote everything down. “And what happens if the partner doesn’t like it?”

“Then it compromises time! If they like you and you like them, I’m sure you both will be willing to find a way to make it click, like your long distance relationship. That is hard but you made it work!” Pinkie mentions.

“Yeah not everypony can keep their mares happy knowing they are so far away all the time, but you make it work and sacrifice for them. And they are for you right?”

“Right.”

“Then there is nothing to worry about, silly! You got this.” Pinkie gave them a thumbs up.

He chuckles and nods as the rest of the day he enjoys the rest of the performance as they entertain a growing audience.

The very next day, Twilight wanted to impart a little wisdom as well.

Tapping his feet in front of the castle Mark waits patiently until Spike opens the door. “Ah Mark, the door is unlocked, you could walk in.” He asks, confused into why he simply didn’t enter.

“Thanks Spike, but I’m not taking chances now.” Mark replies and greets the dragon. “How is Gabby by the way?”

“She is fine, thanks for asking. Twilight is waiting for you at the studio.”

“And Flash Sentry and Moondancer?”

“Friendship problem, the map called for them, they are in Appleloosa.”

“Good.” He nods and walks in. “That means for once I will be able to walk into a room while she still has her bra on.”

“Right” Spike nods, before getting confused and looks at him. “Wait what?”

Approaching the studio Mark was about to open the door but before he did he decided to play it safe and knock first. “Twilight?”

“In here, you can come in.” Twilight calls from the other side, and walking inside Mark found her with some books scattered everywhere and a chalkboard with what look like the 7 days and arrows pointing down on each of them

“So glad you came, Mark, listen about what happened two days ago…”

“It’s ok Twilight, I should have been a little bit more reasonable. I mean, it was still shocking, sure. I’m just happy you and your herd are very happy together, and aren’t afraid to show your affection…a little too much but I can get past it.”

“Thanks for understanding,” Twilight replied with a small blush of embarrassment. “I promise we will be extra careful and make sure to lock the doors from now on.” She promises, which brightens his day a little, and he sits down.

“That is all I ask…I’m sure Fluttershy would be a tinsy bit disappointed but I bet she will understand.”

“Wait, why would Fluttershy…? Mark you didn’t.”

“Trust me when I say, I tried not to do anything, I really tried, but when she just gave me that ‘fuck me’ stare.” He shakes his head. “I can only think of how much I need to mark her as mine.”

He confesses and smiles when he sees Twilight with a giant blush and her wings outstretched. “If it helps, just think of that as a way for us to be even.”

“O-Ok” Twilight nods with a cracked voice before clearing her throat and starting their lesson. “Anyway, for our lesson I thought I could teach you about important dates, setting one and what are the most important days a stallion should always remember.”

“You mean like anniversaries and birthdays?”

“Well yeah for the first one as for the second date, is kind of redundant don’t you think? Of course that is celebrated but it is a more general term. Now for an anniversary, I should clarify something, no you don’t celebrate every single one for each mare. We had a holiday for that. It is called Herd day. It’s february 24, so keep it in mind.”

“Got it, and what type of present should I have ready for that?”

“We will discuss it later for now let's start with the most important. “Anniversary, a day dedicated for you and your alpha”

“Wait, I don’t need to do something for my herd on the anniversary?”

“Well I suppose some stallions do, but it is not that frequent. I mean birthdays, and herd day got that covered for mares, and the anniversaries are mostly for the stallion. How exactly does it work on Earth?”

“Something tells me it is similar to herd day.” Mark inquires as Twilight continues their lesson, until Sunset arrives and they decide to call it a day.

“And remember the order for the year is wood, glass, plastic, chocolate, roses, and trips. After that point it mainly is up to the herd. Some repeat some plan, some do something spontaneous.” Twilight says, guiding him to the front door, and giving him a book to help him out.

“Thanks Twilight I will keep it in mind.”

He was about to leave, when Twilight grabbed his shoulder. “Mark before you go, I just wanted to say, about the silly deal me and my friends made. You know me and Pinkie aren’t part of it…right?”

“Well of course not! And if you were, I would put my foot down immediately I draw the line with happy couples. I'm not a homewrecker.” He tells with finality.

“Good I’m so glad to hear, b-but just out of curiosity if permission was granted, would you be willing to…?”

“What are you getting at Twilight?”

“Nothing, nothing! I’m just saying, all herds are different, and considering how open you and Milky decided to make your herd I was mainly curious about if that arrangement is included.”

He kept looking at her suspiciously.

“I suppose hypothetically if the stallion is really ok. I might be able to consider it.” He confesses remembering Bon Bon and Lyra situation and convincing himself that THAT is what Twilight was mainly asking, “BUT I will still not do anything unless my herd is well informed, and agrees as well. We do not keep secrets from one another.”

“Good, that is a very healthy thing to do.” Twilight nods satisfied at the answer. “You really are a very considerate stallion aren’t you Mark?”

“Well, I try.” He chuckles before waving goodbye.

“Night Twilight.”

“Night Mark until next time”

She closes the door and immediately lets go of a breath she didn’t know she was holding. “Thanks Celestia, crisis averted”

“What exactly happened with you two?” Spike startles her when he appears in front of her “Spike! I mean!....Nothing.”

“Really? Then what is that comment about you not wearing a bra. Twilight are you still forgetting to lock the doors?!” Spike accuses her with his hands on his hips as Twilight can only giggle and look away with an embarrassed smile.

From the window Chrysalis hums in thought as she starts to come up with a plan.

‘This Mark character really seems capable of rumbling some hearts. He might be useful to bait some of my enemies into a trap.’

Chrysalis chuckled malevolently before flying away.
