It's Complicated

A soft breeze swept over the sandy trail, waving the tall grass and bringing a rustling hush over the park and its chorus of animal calls.

"Look, dad, I caught a grasshopper!"

Shining Armor stopped in his tracks and looked down to see the strange, long-legged insect sitting patiently on his grinning granddaughter's upturned hoof.

"You did, he laughed, and it's a big one." He tousled her dark fuschia pigtails in approval, admiring the blue candy stripe pattern that reminded him of his mom. "Did you find any of those annoying cicadas yet?"

"No, but I can hear them." Her eyes ping-ponged alertly as they became aware once again to the everpresent droning trill.

"Auntie Twilight says the cicadas aren't supposed to be this far north and that they're actually an invasive species," she expounded confidently. "I have a hypothesis that they only came after the empire reappeared and travel opened up; I haven't done any research on it yet though. I'm gonna do my school science project on the ensuing changes in the local ecosystems after the reintroduction of ponies to the area."

Shining nodded in astonishment. "That sounds like a really great project. I bet your auntie would love to help you with it, too. You remind me so much of her."

Remedy Star smiled at that thought, viewing it as the highest of accolades. She wanted to study under the Princess of Friendship just like her mother did. "I can't wait to see her again."

"She'll be here in a couple of weeks," he replied, playfully hyping up his family's upcoming visit to the Crystal Empire.

Just then, Flurry Heart popped around her father's side to examine the bug still sitting on her daughter's hoof. She stretched out a foreleg, startling the creature into the air. Remedy yelped in surprise as the hopper buzzed away past her ear.

The two laughed at her reaction, then shared a sentimental look that turned to a knowing amorous one that went undetected by the twelve year old. Flurry would have followed up with a flirtatious hoof stroke on his flank but such gestures between them rarely happened outside the castle walls and certainly not right out in public as they were.

Remedy sprang off of the trail again, making a beeline for the wild, overgrown edge of the park.

"Let's stay out of the tall grass," cautioned Cadance, bringing up the rear "You don't want to get ticks."

The three adult ponies trotted leisurely down the dirt walk in the sinking afternoon sun as Remedy went on a self-guided nature adventure, weaving through the treeline, a snow white blur flashing between rocks and bushes. There were singing birds in the trees and clouds of squirming tadpoles in the babbling brook that wriggled away when she set her hoof down in the crystal clear water. She tried to sneak up on another grasshopper without subduing it with her magic but it buzzed away before she could get too close.

Remedy Star was a happy, normal alicorn but she did not know her real father. Her mother was a princess and she lived with her grandma and grandpa in a castle so things weren't too bad. Her real dad was out there somewhere. She always wondered about him but never let his absence weigh too heavily on her heart, despite what the world would think if word got out.

Her mother got pregnant with her at a very young age, twelve, they said. She told her that it was from a one time thing with a colt she didn't even know, who probably left the empire long ago. That was supposed to be a big secret that Remedy was never to tell anyone.

Her grandparents sent her mother far away to study in secret with Auntie Twilight for a year until she was born. Then they told everyone that she was their new daughter and Flurry's little sister because that sounded much better than how things really were.

Calling her grandpa, 'dad' and having a public mom and a private mom might have been a strange life but everyone loved Remedy and that was all that mattered. - - -

Flurry bobbed her head beneath Shining's barrel, her lips gliding all the way down to the base of his solid cock. He shivered as his flare nestled in the soft bottom of her throat where she held him, lapping playfully at the underside of his girth. She sucked hard, pulling off of him slowly so that her lips could feel every vein and raised ring of flesh before finally catching on his fat head and ending with a squeaking pop.

She panted, surveying his glistening shaft, certain it could not get any more ready. Flurry backed out from underneath Shining and hopped up to sit on the cold crystal countertop, spreading her hind legs apart in feverish invitation. Not missing a beat, her father reared up and braced his forehooves on either side of her flanks. She pulled him into a ravenous, open mouthed kiss. His tongue quickly found its way inside where she sucked it as if her life depended on it.

Without breaking their desperate kissing, Flurry grabbed her father's length in her magic aura and began twirling his tip in circles around her engorged clit. The two of them moaned into eachothers mouths until she placed him right over her welcoming entrance. Shining needed no further instruction. With their eyes still closed and their lips locked together, he thrust all the way up inside her with a deep gasp of satisfaction. He urgently cupped her taut flanks with both hooves as he launched into a violent pounding rhythm that made his daughter cry out hoarsely.

"Oh, fuck!"

There came a light knock at the door.

"Can I just get my eczema lotion?" asked Cadence meekly from the other side. "I'm having a bad flare-up."

"Yeah," grunted Shining breathlessly, pulling his lips off of Flurry's to speak. "Hang on." He looked around on the counter that his daughter's incredible ass was parked on but did not stop pumping in and out of her. Flurry's duotone curls bounced on her shoulders with each meaty pound, framing her glazed over, slack jawed expression. Shining finally spotted the little white tube his wife needed and teleported it to the other side of the door where it plopped carelessly on the carpet.

"You know, Flurry, you have your own bedroom… bathroom… whatever," huffed Cadance, picking up the tube in her magical aura.

To this she received only impassioned moans and delirious swears in response.

Cadance sighed and teleported into the hall where she could not hear their carnal revelries. She held marital authority to drop in on them and participate any time she wished but the thought of doing so honestly made her stomach churn. As a result, she just had less sex. It still hurt whenever she happened across an intimate moment that they didn't specifically invite her to, even though they all knew what the answer would be if they did.

Oddly she still felt an alarming urge to bring the issue of birth control to their attention even though Flurry had been a responsible legal adult for years and the matter was none of her business as disturbing as it was. Cadance adored Remedy. She was the mother to her that Flurry couldn't be, back when she was just a foal herself but she still didn't want them having any more foals and was continually worried about it. Although, to their credit, they hadn't slipped up once since that first time thirteen years ago, before all of this became the new normal.

Cadance listlessly smeared eczema cream under her chin with one hoof while gazing into an ornate crystal mirror. He wasn't thinking of her right now. That's what he said he did every time he lay with their daughter, at least in the beginning when she was just a little thing and they were still operating under the guise of necessity. 'It's her heat again,' he'd say or 'I just want some daddy bonding time,' she'd say. Now Flurry was an adult with her own agency and fully developed libido and they just… shared him. Sloppy and overindulgent, the two had dropped all pretense long ago. When you did it on the bathroom counter, it was just called fucking. There was no getting around it. When did he stop thinking of her? She could at least sense within him once he began to view Flurry as a gratifying sexual conquest and it was well before she finished highschool. The same was true of Flurry's reciprocated feelings.

"How did you let it get this bad?" she murmured at her dour reflection. Shining's mistress and bastard were not only related to her by blood but they all just lived under one roof in some perversion of what a family unit was supposed to be. Flurry and Shining's relationship had blossomed from daddy's girl to something resembling a happily married couple, the same kind of relationship she had had before her heart filled with jealousy and resentment of her daughter.

If Flurry were any other mare, Cadance would have destroyed her and enforced a red line ultimatum with Shining for any future shenanigans but as her only child, her feelings about the situation were too complex to unknot. It was a slow boiling pot she couldn't get out of and now here they were, like roommates in college.

She loved Flurry Heart. But if she really loved her, how did she let her end up like this? But if this was really such a bad thing, as she argued, how was her daughter so happy and content while Cadence felt awful. How did a reckless, incestuous fling grow to eclipse a normal, healthy marriage in terms of being stable and fulfilling? How did she become the interloper?

"Grandma," called Remedy from down the hall.

Cadance blinked, suddenly realizing that she'd been spacing out in the mirror for probably minutes.

"I'm tired of reading for the moment. Where's mom?"

"Oh, I think she's probably just resting somewhere," she sighed.

Remedy cocked her head to the side. "Then, can we do something together?"

Cadance smiled. "Want to make cookies?"

"Yeah," she exclaimed before teleporting the two of them to the cavernous, unstaffed kitchen.

Her grandmother laughed at her eagerness. Advanced as she was, no foal could resist the allure of sweets, even a twelve year old one.

"Can I lick the bowl?"

"Of course," replied Cadance, floating a cookbook from a shelf, "if there is anything to lick. Maybe we'll just eat wads of cookie dough instead."

"Yes," agreed the filly, tapping her forehooves together conspiratorially.

"Want to make your favorite?" asked her grandma, opening the book to the marked page.

"Hmm… Let's make something new that we've never done before," suggested the filly.

Cadance flipped slowly though the pages. "Chocolate peanut butter fudge?" She turned the floating book around to show her the picture. Her eyes landed on the wall behind the filly where a rack of seductive looking cooking wine hung.

"That looks amazing," marveled Remedy.

"Yes it does," muttered Cadence absently, still eying the bottles. "Uh… well, here's the list; why don't you start getting out the ingredients and I'll get a bowl."

The girl nodded exuberantly and quickly set to work, rummaging through the cupboards.

Cadence snuck a corkscrew out of a nearby drawer and wandered over to the wine rack. She loved Remedy but never imagined becoming a grandmother so young or… any of the other things in her life for that matter.

She couldn't remember the last time she'd had a hot, spontaneous dicking like the one she'd heard happening in her bathroom. One where she and her husband went at each other like starving wolves. Part of that was that he was never starving like she was. If she didn't get him first thing in the morning for some fumbling, half asleep sex, all too often, her only option was sloppy seconds at a later time with a lower energy Shining. She could no longer say she was unfamiliar with the taste of her daughter's essence since she regularly left it behind on her father's lips and shaft.

The cork squeaked out and Cadence took the biggest, classiest, most discreet swig she could manage.

Best Medicine

Remedy devoured her ice cream cone before they were five steps from the snack vendor cart. She squeezed her hind legs together so that they rubbed as she walked. Cadance kept her own frozen treat inside the wrapper as she floated the day's collection of shopping parcels with her and the trio migrated toward the playground.

Cadance squinted at an upcoming sign as they approached. "Twelve years and under. Huh… well, enjoy the time you have left with it, honey."

"Mom, we're the empire's royals," argued Flurry, gesturing with her cone in the air. "Who's going to stop us?" She spread her wings proudly. "If I want to play on the playground right now, I'll play on the playground... Of course we'd pay if I broke anything," she added.

Cadance rolled her eyes. "We also have our own playground at the castle where we can do what we like without it being a public spectacle," she droned.

The two moms sat with their shopping haul at a shaded bench beneath a spreading tree. Remedy turned to the playground where a hooful of other foals all younger than her, frolicked and shouted exuberantly. She hurried beneath one of the big play structures where she sat on her haunches in the mulch to rub a hoof between her legs as a strange agitation began to smolder inside of her and on her most sensitive parts.

Though their seat was secluded, Cadance looked around cautiously to make certain that no one else was nearby. It was rare to be both without Shining and also have her daughter's undivided attention.

"So… any new stallions catch your eye at the last galla?" chimed Cadance with an almost hubristic optimism.

Flurry licked a swirl around her ice cream and grunted cynically at her play. Here she goes again, she thought. Mother's biannual push to get her to settle down in a conventional relationship.

"No," she shrugged.

"What about outside of the pony race? So many great creatures out there… Griffons, yaks, dragons, oh, a dragon could be fun to get to know."

"Mom, those are all really grumpy creatures, and I know what you're doing."

Cadance sighed frustratedly at her predictable rebuff. It was the same story every time. She wasn't even looking at other stallions for fun, or at least wouldn't ever admit to doing so. She had almost a religious devotion, honoring what she had with Shining as if she'd taken a blood oath at the altar. Flurry and Shining had both fully embraced their life of sin together and she aspired for nothing beyond living in a castle with her sister daughter and fucking her dad.

Shining's miscalculation all those years ago had culminated in stunting her emotional growth and trapping her in a preternatural cave where she found easy comfort and acceptance. She saw no reason to step out, take risks or get hurt and that was a reflection of their efficacy as parents.

Cadance methodically removed the wrapper from her bar with her magic and floated it into a nearby trashcan. "You know, ponies already think it's weird that a beautiful, eligible twenty-five year old mare hasn't even dated anyone."

Flurry screwed up her face skeptically. "Luna and Celestia are like a jillion years old and you don't see them dating or getting married, even after retiring."

Cadence clenched her eyes shut. "Ugh. Okay, fair point but you know what else Luna and Celestia don't do?" She shot a strained expectant gaze at her daughter as she waited for her to connect the dots but they just stared into each other for an awkward moment in what she suspected was just another deliberate stonewalling tactic.

"Listen, you're a princess which means you can demand the highest caliber of mates and you should take advantage of that. You don't have to waste your time sifting through the dregs like so many commoners. I've got a whole catalog of handsome, high profile… well endowed guys and they will trip all over themselves to get in line for you."

"But, I just don't see the point," shrugged Flurry in earnest. "Dad is everything I want in a stallion all rolled into one. How could I possibly find a way to replace what we have? You chose the best."

Cadance rolled her eyes. "Did I?" The fact that they were even having this conversation at all was a point against that claim.

"Flurry, your father's getting older; he can't keep up with the needs of two alicorns."

A cold drip of melted ice cream landed on Flurry's thigh. She opened her mouth to speak but no words came out. Her mother was right about that and the implication gave her unexpected pause. Her forehead creased with genuine concern. Shining wouldn't be around forever… and then what? Flurry recoiled from the thought as if she'd found a snake in her bedsheets. She tried to push that issue to the back of her mind and distract herself with something more immediate and less melancholy.

"Well, I mean," she fumbled weakly. "Maybe we can make a schedule for now for taking turns with dad."

"I don't want a schedule," blurted Cadance defiantly with a mouth full of ice cream bar. "I want my husband back. I want you to transition to a normal, sustainable relationship with a non relative. Hell, if you want to fill the void with an amazing, purebred husband, random nightly encounters at a shady bar or a crack team of in-house concubines, I don't care at this point. But whatever it is, just get your own. I will move mountains to set you up with whatever it takes to make you happy, just please-"

"It's not like… I took him away and he's gone. What about Remedy?"

Cadance sighed and looked up to see her granddaughter pacing in tight circles near the climbing wall. "Remedy's fillyhood is fading and she deserves a real father."

"She already has one."

"She doesn't know that and with any luck, never will. If you find-"

The two quickly stowed their conversation as Remedy shambled back to join them.

"I don't feel well," she grunted.

"What's wrong?" asked Flurry, finally finishing her cone of ice cream soup.

"I feel really hot and agitated, especially around my labia." She decided to omit having a strong urge to cram something, anything deep inside her vagina to see if she could find an off switch. "Is this what going into heat is like?"

"Oh, I bet that's what it is," gasped her mother. "Same age as me."

"Well, I'm not enjoying it at all."

Cadance's blood turned to ice as flashbacks of Flurry's first heat filled her brain. Walking in on her husband, his cock lodged in their young daughter, spread eagle in a field of his cum. The accidental pregnancy. The transformation of Shining and her into incestuous perverts. What if…

As if reading her mind, Flurry spoke up. "It's really uncomfortable for alicorns but don't worry, sweetie," she winked. "I know just who can fix this."

Cadance's eyes bulged. No. Not Remedy. She clamped a hoof over her daughter's mouth while the filly stared quizzically for elaboration.

"What the hell are you thinking?" she whispered. "That should be the last resort, not the first!"

Flurry offered a muffled protest that she was certain was highly inappropriate for mixed company.

"Family meeting, now," growled Cadance. - - -

"I would be open to calming her heat if it's really bad just like I did with Flurry," shrugged Shining from the loveseat.

Cadance suspected as much but hearing the words straight from his mouth filled her with fresh terror. She paced nervously across from the two degenerates. "And get another twelve year old daughter pregnant too?" she scoffed.

Shining frowned. "Come on, Cadance, that one time was a fluke," he assured her.

"Natural born alicorns have much more intense first heats than made ones do," argued Flurry. "We know that now; that's why you can't understand."

"That's irrelevant," grunted Cadance. "Your methods are still unsound. I don't want her to end up a fixture in some sort of sister wife… daughter harem."

"Nothing like that is going to happen," laughed Shining dismissively. "You're overreacting."

"No, I'm not," she snarled. "That's the same shit you told me last time and now your daughter is your second wife… At least on paper I'm still number one."

"Cay, you're not in competition," he put gently. "Our relationships are different and my feelings for you haven't changed."

Cadance was milliseconds away from veering off topic to force Shining to explain how his relationships with them were different in any meaningful way but instead shook her head dubiously. "Say what you want about that but this kind of behavior is a slippery slope and we all have the receipts."

Flurry frowned, feeling personally attacked by the remark. "Listen, we are her parents and it's ultimately our decision how to handle this."

Those words felt like a dagger in Cadance's heart. Her husband's child with another mare. It was out of her jurisdiction. She was a better parent than either of them. Flurry was beyond the pale here. If they were anyone else, they'd never get away with this.

"You say that like what you're proposing isn't a felony and overwhelmingly frowned upon by society," Cadance retorted coldly.

Flurry and Shining exchanged glances as if having a serious private meeting via telepathy.

Flurry threw up her hooves. "Okay, fine. We can go through all the song and dance of trying conventional treatments but when it gets bad and nothing else does the trick, I don't want her to suffer needlessly for as long as I did. It's not like we're going to force her into doing something she doesn't want to do. If she really wants to tough it out, I guess that's her choice but we will suggest a gentle rutting session with Shining as an option to her. Deal?"

In a sane world, it would have been off the table entire. Cadance said nothing for a long while. They'd become so unreasonably detached from what was normal. This was just shallow placation for her. They had no desire to take the right path; they wanted the quick and easy way that would screw up Remedy the same as it did Flurry and now she was helping continue the cycle. They were going in looking at it as an inevitability.

"I can see it's the best I'm going to get," she grumbled in finality. "But don't even bring it up until the end." - - -

The three girls returned to town immediately under Cadance's insistence and paid a visit to the pediatric drug center. They scoured the estrus aisle before sitting down for a MagiColt fitting. Cadance scoured it, as least. As she predicted, she was the one most proactive about finding non destructive solutions and though Flurry was the mother of the filly in question, she was a mare who'd relied on unorthodox practices for practically her entire reproductive tenure and was not well versed in the realm but she knew that her daughter needed her.

The two moms sat on a bench once more as they waited for Remedy to come back with a verdict.

"We should put out a royal proclamation," proposed Flurry Heart, excitedly.

"But you hated it when I did that to you," scoffed Cadance.

"Well… yeah… but it's not for me this time."

Remedy stepped out meekly from behind the privacy curtain. "I think this is the best size for me," she sighed, levitating her choice MagiColt in the air in front of them. It was the standard, clinical, light gray abstracted phallus with a slight arc, a tapered tip at one end and the more anatomical blunt one at the other.

Flurry's eyes popped when she beheld her daughter's pick. The girth was hefty but not completely outlandish for a filly her size. It was the length that really stood out.

"So you're an E-17 then?" she marveled, recalling that she'd ended up with a D-9 for her first one.

"I guess," shrugged Remedy, unable to infer the meaning of her mother's doubtful tone.

"Are you sure?" she asked. "You got that whole thing inside you?"

"Yes."

Cadence and Flurry exchanged astonished glances. Somehow she already had the depth of an adult sized mare.

Drastic Measures

Remedy squeezed her thighs together in her seat and grunted inaudibly as the teacher prattled on. The waves in her nethers had already returned to full intensity and there wasn't a damn thing she could do about it. She could try meditating again but then she couldn't absorb the lecture. She could head to the bathroom with her MagiColt but then she'd still miss out on the lecture and for what? Just to achieve a few minutes of serenity before needing yet another session? That thing barely fit in her locker and she'd prefer to not be seen with it.

Her sustained arousal and constant squirming had made her seat slick beneath her rump. Again, she mopped it up discreetly with her tail in one hoof, planning to hit it with her grandmother's perfume after class. She was sure everyone in a two desk radius could smell her and that was just one more miserable thing she couldn't put out of her mind.

The constant physical discomfort was maddening. The social anxiety was mortifying but the drag it put on her studies was the worst of all.

"Alright, class," began the teacher in the wake of her spiel. "I want you to get into pairs for this project."

Oh, great, thought Remedy. I don't even want to be near anyone. This is going to be so- She quickly looked to her two best friends, Lumen and Crystalline on the far side of the classroom. They sat together; of course they had paired off already. Now what? She just wanted to disappear from the situation and do the project alone.

"H- hey, Remedy," came an anxious colt's voice from beside her. "Wanna be partners for the project?"

Her heart skipped a beat at hearing the words but she wasn't sure if it was joy from somepony reaching out to her or fear of being noticed right now. She turned her head to see a tall but scrawny yellow crystal pony with a slicked back light blue mane. It was Crash Cart. The two of them shared a mutual affinity from physical proximity and comparable intellect, especially in matters of science and medicine. She allowed him to address her by her first name.

Her eyes connected with his. Then they went down and back up his body, drinking in his awkwardly adolescent frame. He was an early bloomer for a boy. His cracking voice and the three scraggly hairs on his chin made him the very avatar of middle school masculinity.

Her heart beat in her throat. She licked her lips, now completely distracted from… whatever it was that he'd just said. She couldn't put it into words but he looked pretty good in a way she'd never noticed before.

He swallowed nervously, pushing up his square frame glasses. "Uh, so… do you want to be partners?" he reiterated, trying to weather her strange, silent gawking.

She blinked, attempting to chase away the hormonal noise buzzing in her head and between her legs. "Um, y-yeah," she sputtered, a little more emphatically than she'd intended, not quite understanding why this prospect felt so exciting beyond the realm of scholastics. "We can just go over to my house after school if you're free," she suggested breathlessly.

His eyebrows shot up. "You mean your castle?"

"Yeah, why?"

"Nuh- nothing. That sounds great," he replied, failing to temper both his anticipation and his trepidation. - - -

Crash Cart waited patiently as a stern looking castle guard rifled through his saddlebag. He smiled timidly, trying to lighten the mood and appear non threatening.

"Sorry, it's not my rule," grumbled Remedy, fighting the urge to rub her posterior on the corner of the nearby railing. It felt like MagiColt time again. Luckily it was quite flexible and could fit discreetly in the big compartment of her pack so she didn't have to freak out her companion with it.

"Background's good," came a disembodied voice from inside the post.

"You're clear," grunted the guard. He slapped an admission bracelet on Crash's forehoof before he loaded up with his saddlebag once more. Then Remedy teleported them straight into the throne room without warning.

"Mom?" she called. In front of Crash, Grandma was mom and mom was sister but Flurry Heart was busy in town for the day and wasn't in the castle.

Shining and Cadance sat side by side in their respective thrones in the middle of an audience with an ordinary looking crystal mare. Thankfully Shining was the one addressing the visitor at the moment. Their eyes flicked over at the intrusion momentarily but the discourse did not falter.

Cadance turned to Remedy and whispered. "Honey, you know you need to wait before just barging in here and talking while we're having meetings. What is it?"

"Ugh, sorry. Do you have any more of the… herbal tea." The stuff seemed to take the edge off of her heat but she wondered if it wasn't just ultimately a placebo.

"Yes, we do," she answered. Her train of thought was derailed as her eyes landed on the bundle of nerves that was Crash, standing beside her. "Oh, who's your friend?"

"This is Crash Cart. We're doing a science project together; that's why I brought him over."

"Oh, so you're Crash. Remedy has spoken about you before. Welcome to the castle."

"He- hello, your majesty," he quivered before bowing woodenly.

Cadance stifled a giggle. Science project, she thought. For a moment, her mind had entertained the thought that perhaps she'd brought home a coltfriend. It wouldn't surprise her at all if he was her type.

Cadance's eyebrows suddenly shot up in explosive intrigue. Wait a minute, this gangly dork was the answer to her prayers. He could be the one to ice Remedy's heat.

After four days, she was running out of time and ways to divert Remedy's discomfort and the frustration in the castle was palpable. Facilitating a sexual encounter between her granddaughter and a colt in her class wasn't something she'd ever consider doing under normal circumstances but it was an infinitely more preferable solution than her getting a prescription dose of Shining's dick. Anything to prevent her from falling permanently into her husband's debaucherous orbit and ending up like Flurry Heart.

Cadance quickly examined the boy's aura. He has a crush, she thought. How cute. Oh… a not entirely chaste crush either. Well, he is the right age for impure thoughts. It was all she could do to keep her evil grin on the inside.

Crash didn't strike her as the most confident or assertive of colts but she just needed to give him a little push and then nature would take its course. Remedy was already horny as shit and smelled like a coed dorm room on a Saturday night; if she just came at him under the right circumstances, how could he resist?

"I'm sorry, did you want some more of the tea?"

"Yes, please," nodded Remedy, trying to be on best behavior in front of subjects.

"Okay, just go to your room," she smirked. "I'll get you that tea. Have fun."

Remedy nodded again in concurrence before teleporting the two of them away.

This would be easy, Cadance grinned to herself.

The meeting ended and Shining turned to her. "What was that?" he asked in alarm.

"What was what?"

"That colt with Remedy," he clarified urgently.

"Nothing," she shrugged disingenuously. "Just her science project partner. They're doing a science project together."

His eyes narrowed. "Oh, really? The old 'science project' trick," he grumbled.

Cadance pursed her lips. "Well, I think you have everything under control here. I'm just gonna duck out and go see if they need any help."

"Wait, what exactly are you-"

Cadance vanished from her seat in a flash of magic before he could finish. His eyes darted ahead where he saw the next visitor stopping before the throne with a bow.

Remedy brought Crash to her room where they shrugged off their packs. The colt looked around and began to sweat as the reality hit that he was alone with a princess in her boudoir. The experience was all happening so fast with a distinct breach of royal etiquette that felt both taboo and intentional.

The alicorn scratched her head in bewilderment. What was the assignment again? Something… science… trifold… What was happening? Keeping her thoughts on school was never this difficult. It was as if her body were screaming over her brain to do… something. She'd become more physically and mentally agitated the moment he asked to be her partner and stepping into the bedroom with him had just made her whole body an angry hornets' nest. She looked back at the colt who stood still, afraid to touch anything.

Remedy floated her big personal notebook from her desk and walked slowly toward him. "I've been thinking about this for a long time."

Crash's eyes ping-ponged as he tried to supply context to the remark.

She cracked open the book to her hypothesis and levitated it up between their faces to show him. "My idea for the project is to investigate the changes to the local ecosystem following the resurgence of ponies in the area. I want to see if we can pinpoint the appearance of every species and make a corresponding timeline of events that likely spurred their introduction to the area."

He skimmed her notes and little drawings, mouth open as he ruminated on her proposal. "Wow… I really love that idea," he replied earnestly. "And your hoofwriting." He winced himself for saying the last part out loud.

Remedy let the book dip slightly so that she could see him over the brim. They locked eyes and froze as the lit fuse inside her burned all the way down. Her magic aura vanished from the tome, letting it drop to the floor and she lunged.

Crash's eyes bulged as the princess passionately pushed her lips to his muzzle. He fell back a half step but soon leaned into her with equal hunger.

Shining listened to about half of the pony's story before agreeing with the whole thing and then giving him the brush-off. "Um, audiences are over for today," he blurted to the advisor, clapping his hooves together. Then he too teleported from the throne without waiting for a response.

Remedy moaned inside the breathless wrestling of their clumsy, soaked lips, her intimate vocalizations sending shivers through her partner's body. Their forehooves pawed at each others' withers as their passion intensified. They had no idea what they were doing but it was instinctual and it felt like a rollercoaster.

Truth be told, he had imagined himself inside her a time or two but he'd relegated anything like this to the realm of nocturnal fantasies and honestly thought the most he'd be getting today was a smile and a solid science project idea.

His lips tingled. Everything tingled. His thoughts had become as hazy as the fog Remedy was leaving on his glasses. Harnessing every remaining atom of critical thinking power that Crash still possessed, he pulled out of the kiss and held up a hoof between them. "Ha- hold on," he gasped. Isn't your mom coming imminently with tea or something?"

"Ugh. Yeah," she groaned in dismay. How did she forget that? She checked to see if her pigtails were still intact. She wanted more, a lot more. On the plus side though, he gave her a 'hold on' and not a 'no.'

Suddenly there came a knock at the door followed almost immediately by the door opening, the telltale decorum of someone entertaining the illusion of privacy.

The two foals flinched away from each other as a shifty-eyed Shining Armor filled the door frame.

"Hey, Remedy," he began in an even tone. "Can you please go clean up your resin casting project before you get into your schoolwork?"

Her eyes fell to the floor. "Oh, yeah. I forgot. Ugh. Be back in a minute." Remedy blinked out of the room leaving Crash alone with the prince.

Shining beheld the on edge colt. He certainly looked like a shrimp but that was no reason to discount him as a threat to his daughter's virtue and good name. Shining broke the standoff by smiling genially. "So you're Remedy's project partner. What's your name?"

"Crash Cart," he replied, immediately proud that the name didn't die in his throat.

Shining put a hoof to his chin in thought. "Oh, like in a hospital?"

"Yeah."

"So what exactly do you want to be when you get out of school?"

"Paramedic," he grinned.

Did this kid even have the fortitude for a messy job like that, he briefly wondered. But if it was in the cards, it was in the cards, he supposed. "Oh, that's cool. Saving ponies… So you know mouth to mouth yet?"

Crash swallowed. "Well, I mean… heh. That part's not actually as important as the- the chest compressions."

Shining nodded slowly. "It's nice to meet you, Crash. And I'm so pleased to see that you're an upstanding young stallion and not some skeezy degenerate looking for fun in the wrong places." He punctuated with a good natured chuckle before sighing and leaning against the door frame. "I'm sure you know… the types who don't know their place or mind their manners or might even try something untoward with an afflicted young mare. Some ponies, I tell ya. It'd be silly to try something like that in a place crawling with security though. His eyes darkened. "And in a sprawling complex where somepony who's lost their way could easily go missing… you know?"

Crash felt his guts squish into his legs. He laughed nervously, not knowing what to say, fumbling for any words that could help take the heat off of him. "Well, you don't have to worry about me because I'm gay."

It felt like they'd both been sucked into the endless silent vacuum of outer space as neither of them could find the escape hatch to the next part of the conversation.

Crash maintained a weak smile but was punching himself in the face internally. Why did I say that? I want to die.

Shining's eyes narrowed disdainfully. So, the old 'I'm gay' trick. He's very crafty for his age. I do not like this one at all.

"Dad, you're still here?" asked Remedy, blinking back into the room.

"Yes, why?" he laughed with sudden jollity. "Are you anxious for me to leave for some reason?"

Instead of delegating the task to a servant, Cadance took matters into her own hooves. She decided to put birth control in the tea to make sure that Remedy got it no matter what happened but she'd also make the birth control readily available by choice in case they were hesitant to have sex, thinking that they didn't have any. Cover all the bases. She sprinkled a powdered aphrodisiac on their plate of brownies. It probably wouldn't do much for Remedy who already had a full head of steam going but it would work on Crash. It would be the perfect sexual powder keg.

Cadance teleported with her laced treats to just outside of Remedy's door. She knocked and then waited several seconds in case they were already doing something amorous and needed time to untangle. She opened the door slowly to find nopony inside.

Cadance frowned. "I told them to wait here," she muttered to herself. Maybe they'd already snuck off together somewhere, she hoped. Well, if they were already going at it, she definitely didn't want to interrupt. She decided to look for them but only in large rooms more likely to be populated with castle staff.

She teleported to the library which they could certainly still do it in but with unnecessary risk. She checked the dining hall where they were nowhere to be found and then the gallery. She appeared on the balcony of the southeast crystal spire and finally spotted them at a cluttered table in the courtyard below, surrounded by busy castle landscapers.

"Ugh… They can't fuck there," she groaned. "It's fine. It's fine. You'll get them. It's a slam dunk for the Princess of Love." She teleported down to their table.

"Oh, here you are," she began in dismay. "Here's your tea, Remedy." She set down the cup and saucer, next to her open notes with the poise of a veteran waitress. "And I brought a plate of brownies for you two." She set the pile on the table between the foals and smiled expectantly.

"Ooh, after I finish," said Remedy. "They taste gross with the tea."

Crash looked at the plate with initial interest but paused. "Are these chocolate?" he asked with worry.

"Double chocolate," added Cadance emphatically.

"I'm actually allergic to chocolate but I can have carob brownies if you have those. No one ever does," he muttered under his breath.

She scooted the plate away. "Oh, how thoughtless of me. I'll just go get you something else. Any other allergies?"

"Peanuts," he replied.

"No chocolate, no peanuts," she repeated.

He nodded. "Thank you, Mrs… Princess." Crash scrunched up his face in a pained grimace of mortified self loathing.

He's adorable, thought Cadance. I almost regret the birth control.

"I'm sorry," he groaned.

"You can call me 'Mrs. Princess' if you want," she laughed. "Oh, but you should really be in a room. Why did you come out here?"

Remedy sipped her floating tea. "Dad said we're not allowed in my room or other closed rooms. I don't think he likes Crash either."

"Oh, ridiculous," growled Cadance, looking around. She quickly found Shining's horn poking out from behind a well manicured hedgerow. Predictable.

"I'm going to have a talk with him. It's much too noisy and chaotic to work out here. You should either be in your room with the door shut, outside behind the groundskeeping shed or vanished into some other mysterious isolated room. Why, there's any number of nooks and crannies in the castle that no one ever goes, places where you could spend hours in complete solitude without anyone ever bothering you and have all the se- studying you want… to do." She cocked her head with an awkward smile. Nice save, Cadance, she thought to herself.

"Go ahead and pick anywhere," she prodded. "He'll never even know. I'll see you later." That was a good noncommittal, I'm not going to come drop in on you anytime soon kind of reply, she decided. She teleported away behind the bushes.

Shining screamed with a start, nearly dropping his binoculars.

"Shining, did you threaten that poor boy?" she hissed.

"What?" he blurted aghast. "No. No… Cadance, seriously? I simply- I just laid down a few guidelines on how we do things with boys over because we are in uncharted territory here."

"It wouldn't be 'uncharted territory' if your parenting style wasn't just suffocating caudling and vagina panic."

"That's not true," gasped Shining indignantly. "I just want to make sure she keeps her dignity and respect through all of this."

"Uh-huh," grunted Cadance, rolling her eyes.

"Where did they go?" he gasped, looking back at the now empty table.

"Wouldn't you like to know," she huffed smugly.

He glared suspiciously at her. "Are you trying to get Remedy laid?"

Now it was Cadance's turn to feign indignation. "What? Absolutely not! What kind of sick grandparent would even think about doing that? I can't believe you'd suggest such a thing."

Crash unbuckled his saddlebag to find a third vial of blue liquid clearly labeled 'female use birth control' in somepony's incongruously very elegant hoofwriting. There seemed to be one in every compartment somehow.

He scratched his head "These weren't there when I-" He abruptly shoved his pack away as Remedy approached him from her search of the wine cellar. Her hollow eyes luminesed in the blue light of the enchanted sconces.

Crash bit his lip with uncertainty. "So, are we still doing work or are we…" He realized it was a stupid question even before she pressed her lips to his and began devouring his mouth.

They stood on their hind legs as their bodies came together like magnets. Crash fell over backwards flat on the cold stone floor, his science project partner landing on top of him. The wind was knocked out of him for a moment but their feverish kissing never wavered. Her tongue shot into his mouth and he greeted it with his own. Little muffled sounds of pleasure echoed down the hall of giant casks in the converted cave beneath the castle.

They sucked and nibbled any tender piece of the other that presented itself. It didn't matter that they were amateurishly bumping their teeth together and smearing saliva on each other's muzzles. It was the most exhilarating feeling they'd ever felt.

Crash's trembling hooves traveled down Remedy's body to rest on her chubby flanks. The feel of her meaty backside in his grip was absolute electricity and his growing hard on filled to capacity with almost painful instantaneousness. Her hips began to gyrate, furiously humping and grinding his hard cock between their undulating bellies. The new feeling compelled him to move his own hips and rub back against her.

Crash gasped. Everything, all at once, the breathlessness even while they shared the same air, two hearts beating out of their chests, the tingling and tugging on his lips, her healthy ass like putty in his hooves while her angelic downy underside massaged his shaft. He was in free fall. It was all too new and too much for his inexperienced brain to process. He could feel the tension building in his loins like an avalanche.

Not yet. He had to find out what pussy felt like. Now that he was suddenly here on the precipice, he wanted to be greedy. He wanted to lay claim to an alicorn princess. No one would ever believe him. He had to pause. He had to hold out. But what they were already doing felt so good too. Maybe if he could just scoot the tip in. He stopped his thrusting but there was no slowing his runaway train.

Crash sighed with heavenly relief into Remedy's open mouth. He squeezed her flanks and shuddered as a hot geyser erupted between them. He felt his cock throb against her as a pleasant, slippery warmth spread across their bodies. Remedy continued kissing and grinding for several moments, only pulling off of the boy's lips when he seemed to lose stamina and the strange sensation became impossible to ignore.

Remedy sat up on him in slack jawed surprise. She looked down her body, rubbing her barrel curiously with both hooves, eliciting a quiet squish.

Crash panted, adjusting his glasses that had been knocked askew by their desperate entanglement. He looked up to see his science partner slathered and glistening in his cum. He couldn't quantify how intensely erotic she looked in that moment and even though he was spent, briefly wondered how the sight didn't immediately resurrect his softening member.

"Woah," she panted with heaving chest. "Is this your… ejaculate?"

"Uh, yeah," he blushed. "Sorry?"

She scraped a bit of it onto one hoof to examine it closer. "I see," she murmured. She sniffed her hoof, detecting a pungent salty musk that was alien but strangely alluring. Her wonderment gave way to fear, snapping her from her lust-addled spell as she gazed down at him. He was just as covered as she was. She wasn't exactly sure what was normal but this seemed like a lot for one colt to produce, like it had been building up ever since he hit puberty.

The fur of both their undersides was matted with cloudy white seed that they'd smeared on one another in their furious make out session.

In his post orgasm clarity, Crash understood that Shining Armor could theoretically appear out of thin air at any moment and the thought terrified him beyond words.

Remedy stood up and tried to smooth down her mane with her wingtips instead of her cum drenched hooves. Though riled up and unfulfilled, she knew she had to put her sexual awakening slash research on hiatus. "We'll be in trouble if anyone sees us covered in semen," she murmured. "They'll know what we did. We need to go wash ourselves off."

There were plenty of unoccupied guest rooms with showers.

They washed up separately and dried off. They got their project materials together. They nailed down the scope and did a bit of preliminary research out in the open and behaved themselves. They didn't talk about what they did, not with eachother, not with anyone. What they did was simply something odd that happened, a hiccup that neither needed to mention again that day, even as the echoes reverberated in the solitude of their own heads. There was a mutual unshakable feeling that the whole world had changed somehow or perhaps they had simply peeked behind its curtain, a shroud that they'd never even noticed before.

They never came to an understanding about what, if anything, their heated collision meant for them. Did she like him the same way he liked her or was it just mother nature pushing her toward the closest y-chromosome? In the end, they did agree that the school library would be a better place to work next time. It was less complicated.

Cadance sighed and waved from the balcony rail as she watched the two foals part. Remedy's aura was still haywire with undirected hormonal lust. She was clearly still in the throes of estrus. She giftwrapped it for them and they still didn't do it. Strangely though, Crash Cart's Aura had settled. That was odd, she thought. Usually that meant… Her eyes squinted in wonder. Could he have… missed his target?

The sound of labored breathing emanated from over Cadance's shoulder.

"Hey, Cay, do you have time to help me out with something?"

She turned around to see her husband gesturing under his barrel with one hoof.

Cadance's eyes followed to find his overstuffed cock, looking like it could fuck a hole in a brick wall. His tip was weeping with precum. She looked back up at him, noticing his face was flush, almost feverish. "Did you by chance eat a plate of mysterious brownies?" she droned.

Shining paused before answering. "Well, not the whole thing… Okay, yes, the whole thing," he admitted quietly. "Please," he whined. "It hasn't been like this since I was twenty. It feels like it's going to explode and not in the good way."

Cadance sighed. She was still annoyed with him but also chomping at the bit for his attention. "Come here, you big idiot," she ordered, masking her desire with a bit of theatrical derision. - - -

In the evening, Shining Armor updated Flurry with the day's events and she took it upon herself to speak with the filly in her room about how her heat was playing out. Things seemed to be coming to a head and they needed to intervene before she did something rash.

"My grades will begin to suffer if this doesn't get better soon," Remedy almost cried on the edge of her bed.

Flurry scooted up closer to her and wrapped her in a comforting side hug. "I know. I know. Hey, you want to know what I did to get through my first heat?"

"Yes."

"It was really bad, just like yours and I couldn't stand it anymore either. So you know what I did?"

"What?"

"I let Grandpa Shining rut me and it cleared up immediately."

Remedy blinked, scarcely believing what her mother was saying. "But that's… incest."

Flurry gritted her teeth. "Technically… yes but you can make exceptions in cases like this."

"But, any biological male will do. Why resort to incest?"

"Well, many reasons, actually. When it's your first time, it can be kind of scary and confusing so it's best to be with someone who you're very comfortable with. And If you're a very curious filly who has a lot of questions about anatomy and the reproductive process and things that you just can't get from books, it's nice to have somepony who's patient and knowledgeable. I know grandpa would agree to calm your heat too if that was something you wanted and he makes it really fun and easy."

Flurry almost drooled, thinking back to the very memorable mind-blowing oral her dad had lavished her with that night.

Remedy hadn't expected her mother's anecdote to end abruptly with an invitation for her to have sex with her grandpa. She scratched her head. The proposal sounded strange on its face, the age difference, the blood relation, but if her mom did it and was suggesting it to her now, it must have been… fine. Ponies did many things in the field of medicine that would seem strange or obscene in any other context. She just needed to approach the idea from a clinical standpoint. That seemed easy enough.

She gestated on it for a moment more, trying to envision real sex happening to her. Her face began to heat up. It would be nice to embark on such a journey with someone comfortable like grandpa who would be approachable with questions and open to experimentation. Now that she thought about it, sex under controlled laboratory conditions where she couldn't get in trouble sounded amazing.

"It wouldn't be for reproduction, of course," clarified Remedy.

Flurry smiled. "No, you would be using birth control to prevent that… just like I did."

The filly nodded, still thinking. Getting rid of her heat was a huge selling point but it was actually a secondary consideration now to finally being able to experience the rite of reproduction on all her own terms, or at least go through the motions. That sounded truly edifying. "Okay, that sounds good to me. When can I start?"

Flurry was internally on cloud nine at her daughter's decision. She wished she could do it right now but from what she'd heard about her mother's detonation of her dad's priapism earlier, he probably needed a little break to at least refill his semen reservoir. There was no such thing as too much semen, after all.

Flurry tousled her daughter's mane with playful anticipation. "I think tomorrow night would work well," she suggested with a twinkle in her eye. "But before then there are a few things we should go over first."

"Yes," nodded Remedy. "Let me just get my notebook."

Author's Note

Ask your doctor if incest is right for you.

The Cycle

Flurry prepped her daughter for her rendezvous with Shining all day from the moment she came home from school. The filly had too many questions to answer while her teacher had too many techniques to impart.

When the time finally came, Flurry had to fight off her giddiness as she parted with her daughter at her bedroom door, giving her a hug and wishing her luck. Shining had gone on ahead to wait for Remedy on her own bed. He was a bit nervous, not from embarrassment but he didn't want to mess up the experience for her, though he felt better prepared than the last time he did this.

"Alright," he began enthusiastically as Remedy shut the door behind her. "Are you ready? We can start whenever you want."

Remedy paused hesitantly at the edge of the bed. "Um… um, yeah. Okay," she fumbled before producing her levitating notebook. She hurriedly flipped through a few pages, muttering to herself as she skimmed her scribbles to refresh her memory. She nodded before setting the open book on the floor, giving him the impression that she'd be glancing back at it from time to time.

"First, can I try to give you an erection?" she asked with blunt eagerness like it was a fun trick she'd learned from friends at school.

Shining furrowed his brow as he thought, taken aback by the request. He came into the situation thinking he'd lay her the same way he did her mother for her first time. That routine, though not quite planned, still seemed to work out pretty well. He expected some daughter guided diversions but what if Remedy didn't succeed at turning him on and was disappointed?

"I know you need to have an erection first and mom taught me a few things about stimulating you and myself," she added with a pained smile, sensing his hesitation.

She was really curious about this. How could he just shut her down?

"Alright," he shrugged. "How do you want me to be for this?" he asked with tepid anticipation and a wrinkled smile.

"Um, okay, lay down on your back," she instructed with renewed confidence.

Shining did as she said, laying on his back in the middle of her bed, his hind legs splayed wide without shame.

Remedy Star swallowed as she slowly took in his anatomy. It was the first time she'd seen a stallion like this. Her eyes traced from the white fluff of his puffed out chest, down to his empty sheath and finally resting on his balls. Even at his age and unaroused as he was, he possessed an impressive and imposing physique.

She should play around down there, she thought, her eyes still trapped between his legs. That was one of the best ways according to mom. Grandpa was patient and safe to ask questions and if they were going to go all the way, she wanted to learn as much as she could before they went. The young alicorn reached out a hoof and began to softly fondle his sack. Astonishingly it was something like a pillow and a water balloon with a couple of soft boiled eggs floating around in it. Weird…

Shining closed his eyes to help him focus on the sensation of her gentle touch.

Remedy smiled softly in wonder. "I like your testes," she giggled, fighting off a blush. She'd seen them occasionally on stallions, colts at school and in textbooks and had wondered what they felt like for as long as she could remember.

She was too distracted to get a good look at Crash Cart's but Shining's were big, warm and squishy, not as squishy as she thought they would be though. There was a firmness to them which made them fun to squeeze around in their sack. If I was a boy, I'd play with these all the time, she thought.

Seeing no signs of arousal yet, Remedy laid down between his open legs for some more intensive stimulation. She nuzzled her muzzle in between the two orbs, massaging them with both hooves as she inhaled his strangely intoxicating musk. She might have been a novice in the area of love making but her continued exploratory caresses were enough to stir a biological response in her partner.

Shining let out a low growl as a mottled pink and black head sprouted from his sheath. Remedy stuck her tongue out and gave his left nut a lick before opening her mouth wide and popping the whole thing inside. Her mom told her that it was hard to go wrong with using her lips and tongue.

Shining groaned from the light tugging and the flailing of her tongue around his sphere, searching for purpose like she was working on a big salty jawbreaker.

She glanced up his body, hoping to find that her efforts were producing results in his expression but she couldn't see past his rising cock. She watched in amazement as his shaft began to bloom right before her eyes, extending from seemingly nowhere, stretching and filling out. Now that she'd reached the next phase, she had a new thing to suck.

Seeing his hardened dick gave her a sense of pride and accomplishment but also an intense instinctual impulse to rut. Her cavern ached to be filled but the scientist in her was not finished exploring his body yet. She let his ball pop from her mouth and sat upright on his hips, nearly straddling his skyward hard on. She looked down at it and gave it a few strokes between her forehooves, enjoying how the skin could slide loosely up and down.

A little reservoir of precum formed on his head, a sign that she'd gotten his member fully engaged and ready to go but she was still able to put off her soothing insemination for a bit longer.

Shining gasped in surprise when he felt his daughter wrap her lips around his lower head. He opened his eyes to see Remedy hunched over his towering length. She suckled on the tip before trying to go further down but quickly finding it too difficult. She pulled off and examined it curiously as if searching for any changes that might have occurred. Then she began nibbling on the fringe of his flare because it just looked fun to do. The teasing of one of his most sensitive spots sent shivers up his spine.

Before he could recover, she'd moved on, sliding her pussy up against his base. The sensation of her slit cupping around to cradle the underside of his shaft and her clit pressing into his hot girth sent a shockwave of chills right through her. This was what she wanted; it all made sense now. The MagiColt could only do so much. Her body craved flesh on flesh.

Body buzzing, Remedy continued to slide forward, her father's full cock bowing down under her weight as it glided through her already slippery folds. She let out a shaky sigh as she watched her clit getting stroked by his thick meat. The rubbing across her entrance felt incredible and she wanted more of it. She reversed direction, then slid back up his rail once more. The more she did it, the better it felt and that feeling inside her just kept growing like a big wave at the beach.

Remedy rocked faster and began to pant. "This is working pretty well for stimulation," she huffed.

Shining exhaled slowly as she exuberantly greased his shaft.

She let out a squeak as she neared the zenith of her pleasure. Her hips adjusted, grinding on him in short little thrusts until the growing wave finally broke with a rolling crash. She arched her back and her wings shot open involuntarily as carnal ecstasy hijacked her body. She caught herself on both forehooves as she returned to her senses.

"Wa- wow," she breathed. Her brain couldn't even comprehend the enormity of her discovery of carnal indulgence. It was so much better with a partner and it was all so deceptively simple. You just put things places and you move around and some kind of wonderful magic happens. What else was there to be pioneered? The possibilities could be endless.

With mind reeling, she crawled unsteadily further up her father's barrel, a delirious expression on her face as if drunk on lust. She laid down on him and mashed her open mouth clumsily upon his.

Oh, she's kissing, his mind panicked. Just roll with it; don't spoil the moment. He closed his eyes and opened his mouth to wrap it around hers in an appreciative gesture. His lips buzzed as she moaned softly at his response. He felt her tongue slip inside to meet his. His eyes cracked open for a moment. Seriously, he thought. She seemed to have a wide ranging arsonal for a filly her age but it was still all around awkward enough that it didn't feel like firsthoof experience. It was something more akin to bottled up adventurousness fueled by schoolyard rumors. Shining began to tangle his own tongue with hers but gently so as not to overwhelm her.

Her moan deepened with approval. Then an idea sparked in her brain. Still kissing, she wriggled her bottom half down his barrel till her right flank bumped the tip of his now stone-like pillar. Her heart quickened as she zeroed in on what would be the grand finale. She gyrated her hips till his head slipped to nestle between them, his flare kissing her hungry slit as it continued to dance around polishing his dome with her juices.

Fighting every instinct to unceremoniously stuff her like a two bit whore, Shining pulled his lips off of hers. "Are you ready?"

"Yeah," she put curtly.

Before he could start them off with a careful insertion, she had already smothered his lips with another drunken kiss and pushed her rump down over the rim of his flare. Unable to resist the magnetic pull of her fillyhood, Shining placed his hooves on her flanks and bucked his hips to meet her advance down his length. In the back of his mind he still remembered he needed to be ready to stop when he hit the end. He kept pushing in until all of a sudden, he felt the bristle of her lifted tail on his balls and the clamp of her swollen lips around his base. He hadn't found an end or anything but a uniform resistance all the way to the hilt. All the way in. Sweet mother of Celestia, he almost swore to the heavens. She'd swallowed his entire length with a constrictor like squeeze in a breathtaking physical feat he'd never thought possible.

The two paused momentarily as they acclimated to the tight fit. Though she felt a tingling ache from the massive invasion of her body, she was the first to move again, just a little, gyrating her hips and squeezing her muscles to settle him in and work out the kinks.

Shining grunted, able to feel even her tiniest of movements weighing on every last inch of him.

"Push in and out of me," she breathed into his chest with a faraway look. Her hips continued idling slowly up and down.

Her command was music to his ears. Her slow, wandering exploration of his body had become a maddening tease. He'd dabbled with sensuous, drawn out foreplay with Cadance and Flurry before but he was out of practice with hampering his urges indefinitely.

There came a loud, sucking squelch as he pulled out of her and then began to pump in time with her rocking. They let out a communal moan of long awaited satisfaction like a first drink after crossing a scorching desert. They quickly picked up their pace, honing their rhythm to perfection, achieving maximum pressure between them. Remedy cried out as she felt the same power welling within her loins once more.

"Ugh, Shining," came an annoyed voice from beside the bed. "You didn't even confer with me before going right on ahead and plowing your granddaughter."

Remedy's eye popped open in surprise. She sat up on her father's lap to see Cadance wearing a disapproving scowl. She must have just teleported right in. His dick hilted all the way inside her as she planted her rump on his big, cushy sack.

Shining shrugged indignantly. "We already talked about it. We tried all the things. What's there to confer about?"

"Don't you see?" she scoffed, making sure to keep her eyes on his without wandering to their entwined genitals. "You're not really helping anypony so much as just indoctrinating the next generation into an abnormal world of perversion and sexual degeneracy."

"Don't listen to her, dad," came Flurry's winded voice through the slats of the closed closet. "I turned out fine. Keep going; you're doing great."

The conversation derailed to a screeching halt as the three of them cast odd looks at the closet.

"Oh, for fuck's sake." muttered Cadance before teleporting from the irredeemable den of sin.

Remedy frowned in confusion, still sitting stuffed full of her dad. "Are we… in trouble?"

Shining shook his head. "No, honey. Grandma's just surprised, is all." He turned his attention back to the closet. "Uh… Flurry, you still there?"

Flurry cleared her throat. "Yeah but just pretend I'm not."

"Did you want to join us? I can be a two seater."

"Yes," she admitted. "But I didn't want to cut in on Remedy's first time."

"Well, why don't we just ask her if it's okay?" He turned back to his daughter. "Remedy, do you mind if I help your mom out too?"

The filly blinked. "Help her out? Is she in heat too?"

Shining laughed. "No. But she still needs help and as her father, it's my responsibility to lend a hoof whenever she's in need."

"Yeah… okay," she agreed.

"Okay, Flurry," he called out with a hint of playful anticipation.

In a flash, Flurry apparated from the closet to standing right over him. She gazed down at him, face flush, clearly frustrated from having her entertainment interrupted. Shining's eyes traveled down her barrel to her glistening snatch. She was already quite wet from watching them fuck through the crack in the closet doors.

Flurry shot a smile over her withers. "Don't worry, sweetie, this'll just take me a second," she assured her daughter. Flurry flicked her tail and sat her rump down on her father's chest, mashing her pussy right into his woefully unoccupied muzzle. Blood rushed into his shaft as the scent of his favorite dish filled his nostrils and he felt a burst of renewed vigor.

Feeding off of her aggressiveness, Shining dragged his tongue roughly across her clit.

Flurry sighed lustily and adjusted her hips. She placed one forehoof on the bedspread and the other in Shining's mane to help push his face into her loins. She closed her eyes as her father's expertise quickly resurrected the pleasure she'd built up in the closet with her hoof.

Shining's first instinct was always to grab the mare he was eating by the thighs but he had to remember that he was here to help Remedy first and foremost. He reached down to grab his granddaughter's flanks to stabilize her as he began to buck his hips again.

Remedy, for a brief moment, wondered if all of this was normal. She'd never heard of three ponies engaging in sexual activity together at the same time. The thoughts were soon drowned out by her own throaty moan as the sliding friction started up inside her again. She felt her flanks smacking against Shining's balls while his strong hooves held her in place. She was shocked to discover that she loved the unintended illusion of being small and powerless in his grip, like he was just using her as a toy for his own ends. Her breath became ragged as her pleasure matched her mother's.

Shining grunted and hummed into Flurry's folds from his cumulative enjoyment of both of their bodies. Flurry bit her lip and tilted her head back. Remedy's candy striped pigtails flapped like another pair of wings with each successively more violent bounce in his lap. Shining had gone full speed ahead with both of them while forgetting to check in with her but she could not care less. Everything he was doing to her felt perfect.

Flurry's moans reached a frenetic crescendo as Shining worked her nub, sucking it in and lashing it vigorously with the tip of his tongue. He was getting short of breath but he was certain she was close and it only served to strengthen his push. Her hips rocked a little bit to meet the kneading of his lips and that was all that was needed for her cup to overflow. She let out a shaky gasp as the tension in her body melted away under a warm wave of euphoria. She let his head down and their eyes met for a moment before she rolled off of him to lay at his side with a contented sigh.

Shining looked down his now unobstructed barrel to see Remedy riding his cock like a master, or rather he was slamming her ass down into his thrusts without much assistance on her end. His brief realization of folly was quickly pushed aside as he saw the dazed grin on her face. Her swollen lower lips stretched and gathered as she slid up and down his shaft.

Flurry put a hoof on his chest and scooted in to spoon his side while he worked. She watched her daughter out of the corner of her eye as she rocketed toward her second climax of the session.

Remedy went rigid as ecstasy slammed her body again. She opened her mouth but no sound came out. Seeing her reaction was all Shining needed to achieve liftoff.

Heat shot up the length of his dick as it throbbed with blissful release within the embrace of her tight interior. The sensation of every pulse magnified against the incredible squeeze around him. He pumped everything he had straight into her deepest depths. A bit of cum splurted out onto his twitching balls but she took almost all of it.

Remedy flopped down on her father's barrel with a foreleg on either side of him. She swiveled her hind legs back so that she could lay flat on him. Her body was spent. His chest was warm and it rose and fell against her own with the most soothing rhythm. He wrapped his forelegs around her as she melted into him, their matching white coats only accentuating their rapturous unity. He was still buried entirely inside her as she closed her eyes. The most wonderful place in the world was right here.

"Feel better? How was it, Remedy?" asked Flurry. She waited for a reply but all she got was a rise of tiny snores from an unconscious filly. Flurry laughed weakly before looking to Shining.

"I guess that means 'good,'" he chuckled.

She laughed again and leaned in for a short tongue kiss. Then she nuzzled dreamily into his neck and drifted off to sleep too as traces of her own taste tingled in her mouth from her father's job well done.

Mic Drop

Cadance sat stiffly in her crystal throne, staring off into space for a time. She tilted back a bottle with her magic, letting the last bit of wine slide down her throat before hurling the vessel without concern. The distant shatter of glass reverberated through the empty cavern. Alone and hollow again. The cold seat beneath her was the only thing she could count on.

Why did she keep fighting this pointless battle? Her marriage, her family. She couldn't regain the sovereignty of her union with Shining Armor; she could only slow its recession. Psychologically, there was something profoundly wrong with Flurry and whatever it was, she wished to pass it on to her daughter.

Cadance could see… anyone else leaving a marriage like this, leaving it long long ago and taking the child. That was completely reasonable, completely responsible. She could see anyone else seeking comfort and pleasure in another stallion's bed. The wistful desire was never fully absent from her brain, even while under her husband amid a barrage of lackluster thrusts.

She couldn't quit. Quitting was an admission of failure. Anyone else would be justified in doing so but for the Princess of Love to throw in the towel in her own marriage felt like an abdication of duty. If she couldn't fix love in her own life, what could she fix? How could she dare govern in confidence after such a gross failure in her supposed special talent? She had to cling to that title because without it, who was she? What was her purpose?

Her brooding solitude snapped with a flash of magic in her peripheral vision. Then the grating callous bubbliness of her only daughter's voice assaulted her ears.

"Oh, here you are," began Flurry with bright-eyed zeal. "So, mom, I wanted to run this idea by you. It's my proposal for a new royal decree." She floated an open scroll in the air. "Okay, in short, are you ready for this? We make incest legal throughout the empire."

Cadance had yet to turn or acknowledge her presence but she could still see, very plainly in her mind's eye, the impish grin on her lips. She continued staring into the void, absently yanking the cork out of the next bottle as Flurry expounded animatedly.

"But under the provision that the participating foal is at least twelve years of age, that a participating filly has had her first heat and of course it's always consensual. The whole point is to remove the stigma and normalize things like curing estrus by insemination. Think of all the-"

"Think of all the exploitation of minors," she droned over her, muscles tightening in her neck. "Think of all the accidental underage pregnancies and spikes in congenital disorders. Think… at all… about anything… or anyone besides validating your selfish, perverse little fantasy world." She buried the bottleneck straight down her muzzle and began to chug.

Flurry's face fell. "Jeez, you're in a mood. C'mon. Just consider it. I seriously believe we have a real opportunity to strengthen the Crystal Heart and share the-"

Cadance flipped the bottle messily from her mouth and slammed her hoof on the arm of her throne with a booming echo. She finally turned to her with fury in her eyes. "All you do is take," she snarled. "You corrupt everything you touch! When's it going to be enough?"

Flurry breathed a long sigh through her nose and rolled up the scroll. Incorrigible as she was, she didn't have the balls for an unhinged one on one with mom who scared Tartarus itself when at full blast.

"Okay, I know you're an angry drunk so maybe this can wait till after you sober up."

Cadance choked on the last of her newest bottle and then chucked it. "You haven't seen angry drunk yet," she growled ominously. - - -

Shining's side of the bed was empty and cold. He'd be back, she hoped. She didn't like it when he slept elsewhere. He knew that. He didn't mean to do it; he just fell asleep in another bed sometimes and slept through the night.

The occasional sound she thought was a girl's muffled moans became louder and more impassioned. "Keep- keep going! I never want to stop! I want to change my research field to sex!"

The exclamation seemingly heralded the end of the tug of war for Remedy's soul. Though in a sense, her fate was sealed the moment she was born female.

His newest wife. They didn't dance around it like Flurry and him had done for the first couple of years. Remedy wasn't in heat anymore. She wasn't starved for attention. She just wanted more sex and he was going to give it to her barely twenty-four hours later. Cadance knew this would happen. Just as before, he'd opened a door that he'd never be willing to shut again. She rolled over as her granddaughter's frenzied cries became higher and louder and slapped a pillow over her head. By the sounds of it, Shining would be back soon, panting and smelling of Remedy if he didn't pass out from overreaching his waning stamina. - - -

The next day dragged on like the previous one had, with Cadance isolating from her duties and family for more time with her bottles. She migrated from one empty space to the next, stewing in despair and resentment and then suddenly it was time for dinner with the Sparkles. She'd completely forgotten about it but somehow began to look forward to it again.

"Auntie Twilight," cried Remedy. She skidded to a stop in front of Princess Twilight Sparkle and assumed the position.

"Sunshine sunshine, ladybugs awake! Clap your hooves and do a little shake!"

The two of them hugged.

"How's my little clone?" asked Twilight, tousling her grandniece's pigtails.

Cadance smiled faintly at their routine.

Great Grandpa Night Light came in behind them, supporting Twilight Velvet with one hoof and Spike bringing up the rear.

The group stood for a time in the middle of the grand foyer engaging in laughter and jovial discourse. Cadance hugged everyone but otherwise gave a muted welcome. Then Shining called for them to move the party to the dinner table.

The group retreated to the smaller banquet hall for an intimate gathering. They sat by their respective name holders around a table already decked out buffet style. The servants simply removed the platter covers and let them be. Spike got a whole end to himself and a bench to accommodate his large frame.

Flurry side-eyed her mother as she commandeered an entire bottle of red wine, filled her own glass to the brim and proceeded to guzzle half of it in one sip.

"Nice to see we're at least putting it in a glass tonight, mom," she quipped cattily.

Cadance returned the sneer of an angry dog with red stained teeth that sent chills down her daughter's spine.

Twilight and Remedy prattled on about her science project while Spike and Shining talked about Power Ponies. Cadance refilled her glass and picked at her pasta salad, still stuck in her own head.

"So, Cadance, what have you been up to?" asked Twilight Velvet. The conversation had settled and most had noticed the princess' standoffishness.

Cadance licked the bitter berry residue from her lips and set her glass down momentarily. Her eyes darted frenetically around the table as she smiled goofily at everyone.

"What have I been doing?" she giggled. "Well… let's see. I'm organizing a charity ball to help disabled ponies; that's happening in the fall. I just finished this amazing book called the Burnt Key but I don't want to, you know, monopolize the whole dinner getting into that. Twilight, I'll tell you about it later though." Cadance rubbed her chin in pretend thought. "Um…Oh, yeah, and I'm still doing this thing where I try to get my husband to stop fornicating with his kids."

Night Light choked on his drink as the whole table froze in astounded silence.

Velvet's face fell. "Uh, I'm sorry. My hearing's going; I think I misheard you."

"No, you didn't." Cadance shook her head. "Go ahead and ask me how that's going." she laughed.

"Um, I think Cadance has had a little too much wine," Shining laughed nervously.

"Well, guilty as charged," she agreed, sloshing her glass in the air. "But that doesn't mean you haven't spent the last thirteen years sticking your dick in our daughter."

"Yeah but I wanted it," blurted Flurry defensively.

Spike was now the only guest showing any signs of life as he chewed his food inordinately slow with wide eyes.

Cadance threw up her hooves. "Oh, you wanted it, so that makes it okay?"

"He's a good dad who loves me and wants me to be happy. That's how love works."

"Oh, yes, please explain to the Princess of Love how love works, because I don't know." Cadance cackled derisively. "Disregard the fact that he's married to me; you already do that so it should be easy. There are seven different types of love and on the venn diagram of a healthy love life, storge and eros do not overlap… ever."

"Why can't you just be happy for us and let us have what we have?" cried Flurry Heart, rattling her plate.

Cadance swallowed more wine. "Because what you have is a parasite on my marriage."

"Ugh," she gasped in disgust.

"My, that's a lot of indignation to have for someone who'd do anything to their daughter but tell her who her real dad is. Maybe I should just tell her for you so we can end this charade."

Flurry immediately teleported Remedy and herself from the room but it wasn't long before Remedy blinked back into her chair, followed by her upset mother.

"Remedy, come on," she commanded.

"I want to hear grandma."

"It shouldn't be much of a mystery anymore," shrugged Cadance. "You've already been calling him 'dad' this whole time."

"Grandpa is actually my biological father?"

"Yep," she grunted flippantly.

"That means… my mom is also my sister."

"Yep. Sorry about that."

Remedy went quiet at her plate as she tried to piece together what this all meant. This possibility had crossed her mind a couple of nights ago but hearing it was still hard to digest.

"Is that true?" she asked her mother.

"Yes," she replied flatly. "You were conceived accidentally when he calmed my first heat. I'm sorry.

"We were just trying to protect you," added Shining.

"It's okay, Remedy," began Twilight, jumping to comfort her and defend her brother. "It's not really a big deal for an alicorn like you, and you know what? Your dad used to calm my estrus for me too a long time ago."

Cadance facehooved in disgust. "Ugh. I knew there was something weird going on with you two; I just didn't want to think it was really that."

Twilight glanced at her parents to gauge their reaction at this revelation and found a pair of ponies who looked like they had died in their seats. Cadance had dragged Shining's sexual degeneracy into the spotlight but perhaps if she unabashedly threw her weight behind him and they just openly talked about incest, without shame, it might help make the situation less shocking to those not onboard and less embarrassing for those who were.

"Um, uh… You know, when I was little, I used to study Shining's sperm cells. I knew they were special and you can see that for yourself because he only sires alicorns which is actually an unprecedented phenomenon that deserves more research. Not only that but I've actually been thinking recently about wanting an heir of my own but I'm not in a relationship and I just haven't found a candidate with better genetic stock."

Cadance rolled her eyes and sighed.

"So, Cadance, I haven't actually talked with him about this but I wanted to ask your permission if I could borrow Shining for just one night."

Cadance batted her eyes contemptuously at the audacious request. "You two aren't going to have sex, are you?"

Twilight laughed, shooting a fearful glance at her dead parents. "Well, that is kind of an integral part of the process for conception."

Cadance shrugged. "You guys don't actually need to do it for that. He can just jack off in a cup and give it to you."

"What's 'jack off?' asked Remedy, puzzled.

Spike sniggered.

"I'll tell you later," whispered Flurry.

"It's what your mom was doing in the closet while she watched you fuck your dad a couple nights ago," interrupted Cadance.

Flurry swallowed uncomfortably. "Well, it's called… 'jilling off' when it's a girl doing it."

Cadance nodded. "Right, because Jack and Jill. Get it? Important life lessons from mom."

Spike mouthed the words, "Holy shit," to no one in particular with an irreverent smirk on his face.

Twilight frowned in dismay, wanting to steer the conversation far away from… whatever the hell that was. She was still hung up on the hooves-off suggestion with Shining. "Well, technically yes, one can conceive that way but it really just works better if you allow the natural process to play out."

"Oh, blah blah blah. Honey, I've been playing this game for a while now. It's always eventually about the sex and everything else is an excuse. I understand it's been a long time since you had a taste of BBBFF and you're wringing your hooves in anticipation, so just-"

"No, that's not it. I- I really-"

"Twilight, I love you like a little sister. I'd give you my eggs. I'd be your surrogate in a heartbeat but come on. If you want a mare to let her husband out to stud, you need to be upfront about everything. Now if you're actually serious about this, I need you say to me right here, right now 'I really wanna fuck my big bro till he cums inside me,' or I'm just gonna scoop up whatever dribbles out of me next time the planets align and mail it to you."

Twilight gave a lengthy pause at the deathly silent gathering. She didn't want to check on her parents anymore. Her eyes fell to the table and she sighed in defeat. "I really wanna fuck my big bro till he cums inside me."

Spike's jaw was on the floor, a fork frozen in his claws. Velvet and Night were still cold, lifeless statues.

"See, that wasn't difficult. It feels good to be honest, doesn't it?" She turned to her husband. "Did it sound hot when she said that, Shining. That do anything for you downstairs just now?"

Shining said nothing. No one said anything. The only sound was Spike dishing up thirds as the only one with the constitution to continue eating as if watching a riveting dinner play. He wasn't betrayed. He didn't screw up. His secrets were safe and he wasn't in trouble.

Night Light finally pushed up his spectacles and spoke slowly but confidently. "Well… I just want to state for the record, Cadance, that we never participated in anything like that and… I'd like to apologize for any damage or distress that our clearly failed parenting has caused you and your family."

Wine bubbled around Cadance's lips as she sniggered cathartically into her glass while everyone else groaned in indignant protest.

"I think that's an overstatement," began Twilight. "If you go into it with an open mind there's nothing inherently wrong with a union between siblings or even…" She winced. "Parent and child as long as you're careful and it's mutually beneficial."

"Things are totally different for alicorns," argued Shining. "Not all relationships have to work the same."

Cadance fanned her face with one hoof. "Wooo! Shining, I think your dad just gave me the best orgasm I've had in a decade. Keep a close eye on that one, Velvet."

Reparations

Spike pressed a claw into the silvery metal serving platter and dragged it over to himself, laying claim to the last bit of pasta salad at his end. It was no secret he could really pack it away. Everyone else had finished eating long ago but If they sat there for long enough, Spike's grazing would have every platter and dish sparkling clean before the party broke up for good.

Twilight, Flurry and Shining left the dinner early to lick their wounds. Remedy however, stayed at the table despite her mother's imploring, proving once again that in her world, curiosity trumped all else.

"Were they always very close as father and daughter," she murmured?"

"Always," replied Cadance emphatically. "It's not at all uncommon for a father and daughter to have a special relationship either but not one that goes into the bedroom." She sighed and took a normal sip from her glass. "It's really difficult for me to say this out loud but your mother… is not a fully functional adult and I think much of that has to do with how your father handled her first heat. Having sex with her confused her and he never had the courage to set her straight and he's never been able to say 'no' to her. Not to mention, no one is ready to be a mother at thirteen but that was an accident of course."

"So are you gonna dump his ass or what?" grunted Spike, shaking the pepper shaker.

"Spike," groaned Night Light from behind his glass. "Let's be respectful."

"He's right though," mumbled Cadance. "To wonder about it. But don't you think I would have already if I was going to. I mean, I'm sure from the outside it doesn't make any sense. In terms of marriage, I should divorce him. I could kick him out of the castle; I could kick both of them out."

"I would be sad," interrupted Remedy matter-of-factly.

"I know," she swallowed. Cadance paused to rub her right eye and keep the tears inside. "I can't… I just… What that would do to the empire… the Crystal Heart. I was a princess before I was a wife and I can't let all of everything fall apart because of my failings as a partner."

Velvet shook her head aghast. "You didn't fail him; he failed you."

"I know but I chose him. I took on the burden of rulership. We started a family. It's all knotted together… I wish he'd never laid a hoof on Flurry but I also wouldn't trade Remedy for anything. I can't have both."

Remedy, who had moved into Shining's chair after he left, leaned in to hug her grandma. Cadance squeezed her back.

"I truly believe he never intended things to end up like this when he started but at every given chance, he just couldn't alter course and he's turned a blind eye to his folly." She turned to look down at her granddaughter, gripping her solemnly by the shoulders. "Remedy, I want you to promise me something. Please promise me that whatever you do, make your husband and your dad different ponies. I know you love your mom and dad but don't get sucked into the same trap."

"Okay, grandma."

The company fell silent, ruminating on her dire plight before Night let out a fatigued sigh.

"Well, it's past my bedtime." He spun out of his chair with a grunt and stretched his old bones on the floor. His wife followed suit and took his foreleg.

"Thank you, Cadance. It was… unforgettable. I know it's a shit sandwich I can't quite understand but I respect your decisions regardless."

She watched the two traipse away, jealous of what they still had.

It was a joke before but seriously, if he was even just twenty years younger…

Spike arose from his place and rolled his neck. "Yeah, but most of all, thanks for setting me up with my own room," he quipped, suddenly realizing that going to bed otherwise might mean walking in on his older siblings fucking, or worse, engaging in postcoital pillow talk.

"Goodnight, Uncle Spike."

Cadance patted her granddaughter on the head. "You should go to bed too. You need your sleep. I know you probably still have a lot going through your mind but remember you can talk to me about anything."

"I want to keep having sex," blurted Remedy.

The words struck a surreal pang in Cadance's heart. She was too young for this, to be mingling in the adult world. At least if she explored sex with a peer, the playing field was closer to level. But she had to admit that it made sense from Remedy's perspective. Most everyone desired sex. It was natural. How was a hormonal foal supposed to turn down a free sex buffet without danger or strings attached and all catered by an experienced and trusted adult?

"But I don't want to have sex if it makes you fight," she continued sadly.

"Well… fortunately there's a way you can do both. Remember the promise you made. Whether you call a stallion your lover or your husband, don't call them your father."

Remedy thought she understood. She had to grow up and leave her dad and ultimately find sexual fulfillment somewhere else, unlike what her mother had done.

The filly's lips thinned into a line. "I don't really like the idea of sharing a stallion, anyway." But for now… maybe… it was fine until she could create a better situation.

"Goodnight, grandma."

"Goodnight."

Remedy blinked out of the room, leaving Cadance alone with her thoughts. The princess lazily finished the last of her wine and then wished very much to be unconscious. She surveyed the empty bottles and decimated platters before her and smirked to herself. Everything was still a train wreck but her reckless, drunken ire had scored her, perhaps not a reckoning, but a moral win for sure.

She teleported straight into her room, planning to flop spread eagle on her empty bed and pass out but when she arrived, she was surprised to find that she wasn't alone.

"Shining? What the hell are you doing here?" she mumbled. "Shouldn't you be knocking up your sister? I gave you my snide but sincere blessing."

Maybe he'd already finished, she thought. While she still didn't like the idea of her husband copulating with other mares, a part of her was okay with surrendering him to Twilight once under clear and consensual terms.

Shining sat up on the bed and sighed. "She still hasn't talked to me about that and I don't think either of us are in the mood tonight anyway… and besides, we have a whole week to figure that out."

Cadance snorted disdainfully and rolled onto the mattress beside him. "Well then what are you doing awake?"

"I was just thinking and… I wanted to… apologize to you."

Cadance's eyes widened in confusion. She rolled her head to the side to look at him.

"Having to defend my decisions in front of my parents was embarrassing but it made me realize I have no excuse for how I've treated you. I still believe sex within your family is the most wholesome and safe option. It doesn't corrupt love, it enhances it. It's just another facet of relationships and parenting that can be positive or hurtful depending on how you handle it… just like everything else. I wish I could explain that better."

Cadance blinked. "I guess you must have just handled it really wrong," she muttered.

"The point I was originally trying to make is that I realized I've been ignoring you. I never intended to replace you as a lover and I know I always say you're not in competition but that's just lip service if I'm not really there for you at least as much as I am for Flurry."

Cadance was ready to keep pushing back on incest and age differences but could practically taste the low hanging fruit of love life reparations.

"I shouldn't even be running in the same race as my own daughter," she scoffed. "But I certainly shouldn't have to settle for a tie either. I am your one and only wife; I should be priority number one here but I usually get leftovers. Even when I make it to the top of your list, I get your B game. I know you're getting older but that's not completely it, is it? I hear you with her. I've seen you with her and you know what I think? I think, holy shit, that used to be me. That could be me right now. That's the passion we used to have. It's still inside you but I don't get to have it anymore. That makes me think you're more attracted to your daughter than me and that's why you hold out on me and save your best for her."

"That's not true, Cay. I don't think that at all. I swear, I'm always doing the best I can for whoever I'm with."

Cadance rolled her eyes. "Ugh. I don't know what kind of game you're playing right now. All I want is for you to fuck me the way that you fuck her. Can you do that or not?"

"Well… uh, yeah."

"Then prove it right now," she growled.

He looked at her and saw the flush face of a drunk mare who'd lost her filter but was no less serious in her demands. Her eyes narrowed as she waited for his response.

He needed to react with conviction here. If he failed her this time, there'd be no coming back from it. He swallowed nervously.

Shining turned to face away from her and for a moment Cadance feared he had admitted defeat and would flee in shame.

"Okay," he breathed. It sounded less like a reply and more like he was talking himself up. He bowed his head solemnly and his horn glowed and faded on the wake of an unknown spell. In one motion, he spun around and pounced atop her, trapping her in place between his forehooves.

She wrapped her forelegs around the back of his head and pulled his face to hers, ready for him to make her a believer. From first contact, his tongue was in her mouth. She responded in kind, pleased with his bold opening. They groaned as their muzzles locked together hungrily. She messed up his mane as he began to grind his underside against hers. His hoof wandered down her body to the region between her legs.

It didn't take long for her to notice an energy and eagerness in his nips and strokes that she hadn't gotten from him in a long time. It felt like he really wanted her, wanted her more than anything and it made her wet.

Still working his hoof down below, Shining licked her ear then nibbled on her neck, sending shivers down her spine and putting a smile on her muzzle. His mouth journeyed into the crook of her neck and then to her chest where it continued in a downward direction.

Cadance closed her eyes. Fuck yes. I like where this is going. She opened her legs wider in anticipation.

Her husband gave a long worshipful lick up her thigh and spiraled around her eager marehood. He clamped his forehooves around her thighs and dove right in, launching into a flurry of intense tongue lashes, tugs and sucks through her lovely valley. For all intents and purposes, he'd just relocated the make out session from her mouth to her pussy and it translated quite well.

"Mmm…" Cadance moaned and arched her back.

Her hoof traveled down to the tip of his horn. She rubbed it in circles to manipulate his head movements like a joystick, a fun perk when getting oral from a unicorn.

Shining licked up and down her clit in rapid succession, all but making it vibrate. Cadance bit her lip and grunted. If she held onto that, she could get off right now. She could feel it beginning to snowball inside her, rolling steadily toward critical mass. Suddenly, she pushed his horn away, breaking their sensual contact and pausing her climb.

He looked up at her in puzzled surprise and a hint of worry. "What is it?"

Cadance panted, gazing down at him as he hovered over her pulsing mound, scarcely remembering a time he'd had her so excited and aroused. That being said, Shining could give adequate head while half asleep. The real question she wanted answered was, could he rut her senseless?

"Come on," she breathed, rolling off of the bed. She rushed to rear up against the wall, delirious with lust. Her horn lit up and she felt deep inside herself with her magic.

Shining watched in breathless disbelief as a shimmering metal ring slipped from his wife's folds and rotated slowly in the air. That enchanted ring had been nestled deep inside Cadance for years as the construct that had kept her from conceiving since Flurry Heart. She pushed open the window with her magic and hurled the device out into space.

"I want you to put a foal in me right now," Cadance demanded with a lusty growl.

She stood with her forhooves to the wall and her rump popped out. She flagged her tail to the side but continued to swish it coquettishly as if gesturing to his target. Then she gazed back at him over one shoulder with an expectant smirk.

A primal energy awakened within Shining and he all but blasted steam from his nostrils. He was on her in an instant. She squealed in foalish delight as his eager forehooves gripped her supple flanks. His desperate flare plunged between her damp thighs and squeezed out the other side just below her entrance. Her lower lips parted, caressing the side of his tip and slathering it with her juices. She reached down with one hoof and quickly pulled his end up till it popped snugly into her slot.

Feeling the familiar wet heat venting straight into his head, he rocked his hips and slid all the way inside till he was wearing her like a glove and ass was flattened against him.

Cadance let out a shocked gasp as he stuffed her with his meat. She gritted her teeth in a twisted smile as she scratched a shaking hoof down the wall. Now that he'd found his target, he could go to town. He pulled back and slammed into her with a fleshy slap. Then he did it again and again. As his zeal reached its peak, he found himself ramming her flat to the wall with a communal grunt.

Shining pinned her there with an unending volley of wrecking ball thrusts. The two of them cried out with an overwhelming passion they couldn't contain. She turned her head to look back at him. He pressed a hoof into the side of her head, squishing her cheek to the wall. Wide-eyed and open-mouthed, her breath came in short, ragged bursts as he continued pounding her mercilessly from behind.

Her husband growled with feral dominance This was the potent monster she wanted. She could feel his mighty sperm factory slapping between her flanks secondarily with each impact. She could feel the shape of his hoof imprinting on one cheek and the textured wallpaper on the other. She could feel the air being squeezed from her lungs. She could feel the power and rabid desire surging through their bodies as it drove them to the brink of insanity.

Shining sank his teeth into the back of her neck. Cadance's eyes rolled back in her head as her body became electrified and every missed orgasm from the past decade roared through her like a train hitting a fruit cart.

Cadance's tongue hung from her mouth as Shining slammed home in her twitching body, almost driving her up off her hooves. He gave a guttural grunt as his orgasm hit and he flooded her with his seed.

Shining released her head but she kept it there. They panted, still standing against the wall, unwilling to move from the spot for fear that their bodies would give out. Thick globs of cum pattered on the floor between their hooves as their damp bodies heaved quietly.

When Shining finally pulled out of her it released another audible smattering as they both dripped more of his cream.

They laid on the bed in stunned silence as their reeling spirits returned to the corporeal plane.

"Was that good?" he asked, staring at the ceiling.

"Yeah," she answered in an equally dazed tone. The bite on her neck still stung and that alone was an amazing thrill. "You know… now that I'm only drunk on alcohol, I'm realizing tossing my birth control out the window was a terrible idea."

"That was the single hottest thing I've ever seen in my life," whispered Shining.

"But it was also really stupid."

"It's probably fine. Did you know that Flurry only uses birth control when she's most fertile? The rest of the time it's a total gamble and that's sort of a thrill."

Cadance was silently horrified for several seconds. "It doesn't surprise me at all that you do dumb shit like that," she finally grumbled. "What was that spell you cast at the beginning?"

"Stamina spell," he admitted sadly.

"I've never seen you do that before."

"Because I haven't done it before because it's embarrassing and I don't want to have to use it for my wife."

"Do you use it for Flurry?"

"I have to, otherwise I'm wiped out for anything else. I don't want to use it at all but it's a duty I've taken upon myself and things like romance and natural virility don't matter so much as performance with her. With you, I don't want to admit needing help satisfying my own wife. Remember how we used to make fun of stuff like that?"

Cadance scratched her head. "I- I didn't." She thought back, trying to make sure she wasn't lying. "No. That was you. I honestly don't care and neither should you. I will never understand how your tiny brain works. Wasn't that a lot more fun than what we usually do?"

"Yeah…"

"Then let's keep doing it like that. Why deprive ourselves when we don't have to? Not everypony can be an alicorn sex demon"

There came a timid knock at the door, surprising the both of them. What time was it?

"Yes?" called Cadance, looking down her body toward the disturbance.

The door cracked open and her puzzlement continued to swell as she saw her daughter's head poke inside.

Flurry looked to the bed and blinked. "Oh, dad, I wasn't expecting you to be here." The smell of their previous activities hit her nose and stirred an immediate physiological response in her nethers. She swallowed and tried to regroup her scattered thoughts as she shut the door.

"I don't think I'll be able to sleep again until I know you're not angry with me anymore. I'm sorry."

"What are you sorry for?" asked her mother.

Flurry walked to the foot of the bed. "I'm sorry for hogging dad." Her eyes fell on the oozing creampie between her mother's legs that she was still too inebriated to be self conscious about. Flurry had been with her dad a lot. She knew what he liked, how he felt inside her and every inch of his body but the sex life of her mom was still a mystery. She was a discreet and guarded mare in such matters and seeing her sloppy and exposed like this and with her dad was shocking and… arousing.

Cadance screwed up her face. Again, this was just one of her grievances but it was unexpectedly gratifying to have it acknowledged, especially by her stubborn daughter.

She raised a dubious eyebrow. "So then what are we going to do about it?"

Flurry swiped a bead of drool from the corner of her mouth as she prepared to answer but then her father cut in.

"I know something you can do to help make amends. We had a little… reproductive accident tonight. You wanna help extract my seed from your mother so we don't end up making you another sister?"

Cadance elbowed him in the barrel and scoffed at his crass jest. "Shining, what the fuck?" Her crooked smile dropped open in shock as the mattress bounced under her and she felt her daughter's intrepid lips press into her vulva without hesitation. She gasped, her thighs twitching frantically before Flurry hooked her forehooves around them for better stability.

Cadance continued to squirm from the indescribable sensation of her daughter's tongue slithering inside her slit to scoop out dollops of hot cum. She slurped them down like she was rounding up a deluge of melting frozen yogurt.

As the range of her tongue was tested, Flurry's horn lit up and Cadance could feel her diaphragm being firmly pressed and massaged to help squeeze the salty white jelly into her daughter's waiting mouth like she was a pastry bag.

Somewhere in the back of her mind, Cadance knew that sucking the cum out wasn't a thing but somehow it didn't matter so much. Somewhere in the back of her mind, she knew this was fucked up but it felt as good as anything normal. Shouldn't she push her away and squeeze her thighs shut? Yes. She'd tepidly resolved that that was the appropriate course of action she should take and waited for her body to respond accordingly but the only thing that happened was a flashflood of fresh mare lube in her loins and a jolt of undeniable pleasure. Wasn't this wrong? Flurry was an adult. Flurry clearly didn't care. So why should she?

Her conflicted but impassioned moans had her husband hard as a rock again in just moments. Shining's cock ached desperately for a rare second round. His eyes rested on Flurry as she methodically continued to suck the sperm right out of his wife's quivering snatch. He followed the sway of her back down to her plump ass where her tail swished with a slow, meditative rhythm, the same dance he saw every time she sucked him off.

Shining crawled next to where his daughter lay sprawled out on her belly. He brushed her tail to the side, revealing her well primed marehood as it peeked out from between her healthy flanks. Flurry cracked an eye and a smirk and wiggled her legs apart a bit more for him.

He saw his sexual relationship with Flurry as utilitarian with benefits. He was meant to assist her and Cadance and now Remedy with their needs but traditionally he only sought relief himself, (when he hadn't already achieved it,) from Cadance. At the moment though, his wife was occupied or at least inaccessible and he knew his daughter wouldn't mind if he just helped himself to her bottom half.

Shining carefully mounted her in a prone position, his tip slipping between her flanks. He pushed inside her, slow and heavy. His hot, shaky breath tickled her ear. Her stifled giggle turned into a soft moan as she felt herself filling up with her dad. He kept going till he felt his balls squeezed tightly between the two of them. Then he draped limply over her back and began to rock his hips in slow, lazy thrusts as the mare beneath him continued to service her mother.

Flurry gulped down the last of her father's seed, gave her mother's opening one last lick to get it sparkling clean and then turned her attention to the now very needy clit just north of there. Her clean up was complete but she had to make sure mom finished, otherwise it would just be a tease and what kind of apology would that be?

The moment her clit slipped between her daughter's lips, Cadance knew she'd missed her chance to back out. She arched her back and let out a full throated moan. Her legs shook as pleasure seized her body.

Her head was swimming. She opened her bleary eyes just long enough to see her husband lazily rutting their daughter as she dutifully worked her magic between her folds like she was their plaything. It didn't matter. None of it mattered. She closed her eyes again and committed wholeheartedly to chasing carnal self-indulgence however it came to her.

Cadance's body went wild as her daughter's tongue raced around her nub. Her breath came in short puffs, making her even more lightheaded. Her hips bucked enthusiastically into Flurry's face, forcing her clit to squeeze in and out of her puckered lips. She'd crossed another point of no return; she was now facilitating her sexual pleasure utilizing her own child. She was fucking the mouth of her daughter and enjoying it immensely.

Shining grunted and trembled as he teetered on the cusp. On the last inch of his climb, he pushed as deep inside her as he could go and released his load. His body relaxed into hers and he let out a long sigh down the back of her neck. He rubbed her shoulder softly with one hoof as he waited to recover.

Meanwhile, Cadance quivered powerlessly in the grip of her daughter's adept lips. Her ecstasy leveled off just before cresting over. It hovered there moment after moment, driving her mad with frustration. She gritted her teeth in determination to break through the ceiling. She grabbed her daughter's horn and pulled.

Sensing her mom was in a final desperate push for ascension, Flurry sucked in her meat and squeezed it between her kneading lips. Cadance threw her head back and screamed. How in the hell did she have another orgasm left in her after Shining seemingly flushed out her whole system?

Her body shuddered violently, pummeled in rapture. With one last kick, she went slack and melted into the bed.

Flurry raised her head and licked the remaining smudges of her father's sticky cum from her muzzle. Then she planted one last gentle kiss on her stunned mother's pussy as an emphatic I'm sorry.

Shining pulled his dick from inside Flurry and wriggled back up to his spot with an exhausted sigh.

Cadance kept her eyes shut. The room felt like it was spinning or maybe she was falling through the air.

"Hey mom, wanna do me now?"

She opened her eyes cautiously to see Her daughter presenting her own creampie to her.

"You know… I don't really have any experience with mares," she mumbled.

Flurry shrugged. "Neither do I. My expertise comes entirely from lots of practice in kissing and just being a mare myself... I also just really like cum." She wiggled her ass enticingly. "No? Okay… but it's your fault if I get pregnant," she chided in a singsong voice. She turned around and flopped on the bed in between them just like she used to do as a filly.

She sighed proudly at making both of her parents cum basically at the same time "See, we should do that more often."

"How did you like your first incestuous threesome?" asked Shining.

Cadance's eyes shot open. Shit… it was technically a threesome too, wasn't it? She didn't agree to partake in either aspect beforehoof but neither did she reject them and now there was no going back. Did the incest make it any hotter? What about the addition of a third pony? She decided no but neither did it detract from the experience which, in itself, was a shocking self discovery.

"I'm still drunk. I'm not saying shit," she grumbled.

"Okay but you did have incest sex. That's a fact you can't change. So do you feel like your relationship with your daughter has been sullied because of it?"

Cadance thought about it even though thinking was like trying to hold sand in her hoof. Flurry didn't care. Flurry wasn't going to treat her differently or even look at her differently. This sort of thing was as innocuous to her as going shopping or helping someone with their homework. The ball was squarely in Cadance's court in a game where she was both ref and sole player, a game she had to decide if it was still worth playing. She could feel anguished shame. She could self-flagellate over it but what was the point? Performative shame for some token sense of moral superiority. "No," she finally answered.

"What about your relationship with me?"

Shining didn't care either. He didn't feel jealous if his daughter pleasured his wife; it was his idea. But at the same time, he'd never even flirt with another mare outside the family and expected that same level of fidelity from his wife. He had truly compartmentalized incest from the realm of extramarital affairs and again, she couldn't come up with an answer that wouldn't come off as self-righteous pontification.

"No," she sighed.

"Well, how can you say incest is inherently bad then?" he shrugged.

"Ask me when I'm sober and everything stops spinning. And definitely don't expect this to become a thing."

His face fell in disappointed. "I wish you'd join us sometimes but even if you still won't, I hope this experience has at least been a little eye-opening for you."

She took his meaning to be that he wanted a happy marriage with her while sticking with his outlandish definition of fatherly roles.

Cadance gave a long, exasperated sigh. "This wasn't what I signed up for, Shining. When I married you, the deal was to have an exclusive relationship and that's not what this is. I have felt jealous and betrayed for a long time. However, I think to some degree we've reached the point where we just have to say it is what it is. That doesn't mean I'm willing to just let everything go and be a silent doormat. Therefore, if you can put me back on the pedestal where I belong and on occasion do to me what you did earlier tonight then perhaps I can look the other way on your relationship with our adult daughter as long as it doesn't interfere with provision one or two."

Flurry and Shining exchanged slack jawed glances. They prayed it wasn't the alcohol talking and she wouldn't be back to her old stalwart self in the morning.

"I can live with that," nodded Shining.

"I can't think anymore," mumbled Cadance. "But we're also going to talk about Remedy eventually.

Things would be different for Flurry from now on but the feeling of validation from her mother was an unforeseen burden off her back. "Thanks, mom," she chimed. "And however you decide to swing from now on, I will totally blow you whenever you want. Standing offer."

Cadance simply grumbled and rolled over.

For the first time in over fifteen years, all three of them slept in the same bed.

Exam Chair

Night Light screwed up his face in weary admonishment as he twirled a straw through the ice of his daiquiri. "You're both adults. You're Prince of the Crystal Empire. She's the ruler of all Equestria. We're just your parents. This is completely between you and her. We've only had soft power over you for quite some time now; the most devastating weapons in our toolbox are your mother's guilt trips and ISDIY."

"What's ISDIY?" shrugged Shining in puzzlement.

"I'm so disappointed in you," he clarified, before taking a sip.

Shining's face wilted and he clutched his chest with one hoof as he recalled the phrase that left few but deep score marks in his foalhood. "That feels really bad."

"I know," nodded his dad. "You only pull that one out for special occasions; you don't want to overplay it. Don't tell me you've made it this far as a parent and never used ISDIY."

Shining sighed in frustration as he seemed unable to get a straight answer from either of his parents. "Did you already talk with Twili about this?" he mumbled.

"Yes," replied Velvet from under her sun hat. "We told her the same thing. We really don't need to know and we're taking a stance of passive opposition."

"You don't need our approval," added Night.

"I know but… I want it. I always want it."

The elderly couple side-eyed one another with a frown of sad but unwavering resignation.

"Shining… just do whatever you're going to do," replied Night with finality.

Dad's stern evasiveness on the matter told him it was time to stop pushing. He was trying to give his son an out so he could slink away and save face. Everyone's decisions were already set in stone so there was no point in further discussion. His parents shaking their heads over their drinks was as close to acceptance as he was going to get.

"We will still love both of you," added Velvet trying to honeycoat her husband's words as she'd always done.

"Thanks," he sighed at their offered consolation. Jeez, he was just trying to give his sister a foal, not get a face tattoo. No wonder they never told them about this. - - -

Early in the evening of the Sparkles' last day in the Crystal Empire, Shining Armor knocked on his sister's door. It seemingly opened itself for him under the influence of her magic. He entered to find her hunched over a writing desk. She dropped her pen and turned with a warm smile.

"Hey."

"Hey," he parroted, closing the door behind him. He wandered up behind her and she tilted her head back to look at him upside down.

"You still wanna go through with this," he murmured. "Even after all the drama?"

She glanced to the side, then back at him, her eyes gleaming with unwavering resolution. "Yeah, why? Are you getting cold hooves?"

Shining shook his head. "No. I'm here for you, Twili."

She smiled again. "Thanks. The most important thing is that you and Cadance are okay with it." Part of her desperately wanted to know if his feelings about her had changed in thirty some years but they'd never been so direct about their desires.

"Alright… So what do you want to do? It's your show." It had always been her show, or so they said.

"You remember what we used to do… a long time ago?"

Shining thought. There were a hoofful of things he could come up with but only one jumped clearly to the forefront of his mind. One thing she used to love above everything else. "You wanna sit in my lap?"

"Yeah," she blushed, a little embarrassed by her foalish sounding request.

Shining squinted back at her suspiciously. "Is that a good position for conception?"

No, it wasn't. Even Shining could see that. She was immediately reminded of how Cadance had seen right through her at the arrival dinner. Yes she wanted an heir and yes her brother's cells were objectively the best option for producing the results she wanted but was it a crime to just enjoy the journey with him?

"Shut up and get in the exam chair," she smirked.

"Oh, I see." Shining smiled and turned away to go sit on the couch. The less questions he asked, the easier things were. That was always how it had been in their sexual relationship. Twilight made the rules and he was just along for the ride.

She teleported to her hooves and approached him, trying mentally to settle her jitters. It wasn't so much about her own performance as it was about wanting her brother to be caring and receptive to her just like she remembered.

Twilight reared up, setting her forehooves on the backrest, either side of Shining's neck. She closed her eyes, tilted her head and leaned in softly. It felt natural and the fireworks on their lips ignited immediately. It was almost like… a first kiss.

Her forehooves curled around the back of his neck to stroke his graying mane as their kiss deepened. Shining's own hooves braced above her hips. He groaned as their lips battled. Now that Twilight had found that the water was warm, she intensified her assault. Her tongue dipped into his mouth. She moaned louder than she thought she would when he returned the gesture. Every touch, every wet graze and caress thrilled her and sent her heart soaring. She sucked up his tongue, chewing on it for a time as Shining's hot panting blasted her muzzle.

Twilight finally opened her eyes when she felt something poke her in the stomach. She pulled away and looked down to see her brother's member all fattened up and standing tall. He was ready for her and she was ready for him before they even touched but they shouldn't rush.

This was the last time. For right now, in this room they could do whatever they wanted together and she wasn't ready to let this incredible moment melt away yet. Twilight looked from his inviting flare back to his eyes. She lunged back in, recapturing his lips with renewed vigor in a bid to get all she could before her biological urges finally won out.

She tilted her head to the side and pulled his face into her neck in a wordless command to tease her. She sighed as he showered her with little wet kisses and nibbles leaving her spine tingling and cowlicks in her neck fur. She smiled in delight but felt the calling of her aching marehood.

Twilight pulled away from him again, returning to all fours. She began to stroke his cock with one hoof as she mulled over the best way to do what she wanted. Things would have to be a little different this time around. "Okay," she breathed with anticipation. "Ready? Here I come."

Twilight spun in a half circle, pointing her rump at his lap. Then she flagged her tail to the side and glanced behind herself as she backed up slowly.

Reading her movements, Shining pushed his skyward length down with one hoof till it was lined up with his sister's approaching pussy. She gasped as her drenched lips kissed his tip but she did not slow her approach. Shining watched with breathless awe as his sister's beautiful pink curtains parted over his flare and delicately contoured around his girth.

Twilight felt Shining's medial ring slip inside her. Then suddenly a pair of burly forelegs wrapped around her midsection and yanked her back, rump first into Shining's lap. They pulled her into an upright spoon against her brother's barrel with his muzzle peeking just barely over her shoulder.

"Ahh," she giggled.

"Oof," he laughed, as her sudden weight squeezed the air from his lungs. "Have you grown since last time?"

"Maybe a little."

"Wait, you're a full figured princess," he chortled. "What happened to my little sister?"

Twilight sniggered, trying in futility to contain herself. She felt her brother's chest spasm in laughter and she could no longer hold it in. They broke into a fit of hysterics even as she sat fully penetrated on his lap.

She exhaled, trying to reset. "Okay, okay."

Shining forced himself to stop laughing and instead focused on the pleasantly warm, wet squeeze on his length. Twilight swiveled her hips to settle herself around his base and the two of them just sat there for a moment breathing in the magic of an intimate embrace they hadn't shared for unknown years. No, they knew if they just did the math. It was when he started dating Cadance and it was Twilight's idea. She willingly gave up her test subject and special bonding time out of deep respect for Cadance.

Back when they used to do this, she remembered him towering over her. She'd reach her hoof up behind her head to caress his cheek while he bounced her on his cock. Though he was still a colt himself at the time, his body felt so big and powerful. It was a gentle strength she had yet to experience anywhere else.

Twilight made the first move, rolling her hips in a scooping motion and eliciting a quiet groan from her brother. He responded, clutching her to his barrel and reclining the both of them a bit in the seat. The slight angle allowed him to brace her above his lap, giving him just enough room to pump his own hips. He started out by squeezing himself all the way inside her in a slow but powerful push that served as a tantalizing appetizer for the rest of their visit.

Twilight hummed in approval as Shining began and their inner thighs clapped together quietly. Despite their initial awkwardness in the position, their rhythm coalesced elegantly. Twilight began to pant softly as their synergy reached full sync. She closed her eyes and let his touch stir a downpour of memories. - - -

"Are you sure about this, Twili?" asked the colt as he gazed anxiously out the window above the front door. "Mom and dad left me in charge, which means they're not going to be gone for very long… and I don't think they'd want us doing anything like this."

"It's fine, Shining," she assured him, floating a set of glass slides down next to the petri dish on her lab table. "It's just… scientific research. There's nothing wrong with it." Her assertion was at least partially true. What was curiosity anyway but unformatted research?

"Right," he nodded slowly. "But we're still not going to tell them… Right?"

Twilight bit her lip apprehensively. "Correct."

They decided to end the discussion there and not scrutinize their own reasoning any further lest they begin to poke more holes in it. Their whole internal alibi hinged on the mutually disingenuous pretext of producing a sperm sample for Twilight to examine… to learn. Shining wanted to help his sister but also desperately wanted to experience the touch of a filly, despite it being one of relation who was half his age. Twilight was interested in seeing live sperm cells under a microscope but also really wanted to see how dicks worked.

Shining had been extracting his own samples by himself for almost a couple of years now but it was better for their self rationalization if he just didn't mention that as a perfectly viable but much less educational option. Their list of unexpressed ulterior goals had each of them wondering if they were ultimately just taking advantage of the other.

"Okay, have a seat in the chair." Twilight pointed to the infamous 'exam chair' as it would come to be known. It was a cushy old plaid mustard yellow armchair where they'd ultimately have a majority of their first sexual experiences under the guise of dozens of tests. In the beginning, if it was happening in the exam chair, it was a 'test.' Later, the 'testing area' would be expanded to both of their bedrooms and the upstairs bathroom.

Shining sat down with a creak and exhaled with nervousness. Twilight tossed her clipboard on the lab table and hurried up to the gap between his hind legs. Her eyes trailed down to his genitals and his empty sheath.

"What's the best way for you to quickly achieve sexual arousal?" posed the filly curtly.

Being alone with a dirty mag and not being watched like I'm on a stage, for one, he wanted to say. He blushed. "I- I dunno. I think maybe kissing would probably work." He hadn't personally done it much but the times he had did send blood rushing expediently to all the right places.

Twilight groaned doubtfully. "Well, I don't know much at all about that but I'll give it a try… for science." She climbed up into his lap and reared up against his chest to reach. With their faces suddenly at the same level and so close, they hesitated in surprise. The two foals blushed as Twilight inched ever so closer to him.

She blinked and pressed her mouth to his and for a moment their hearts stopped from the sensuous electricity they'd created. Her lips were so soft and timid. His were bigger but so gentle and patient.

Twilight sighed delicately as her eyes fluttered shut and she slowly mouthed against him, seeking direction, his saliva slowly wetting her muzzle. Shining moved around, nibbling her top lip and then her bottom lip. Her little hooves pawed lazily at his chest as if begging for more. They were so cautious but it was no less exhilarating. Time had stopped even as their hearts thrummed loudly in their heads.

I'm kissing my little sister on the lips but it still feels amazing. Shining regained his self awareness to notice that his loins had tightened uncomfortably. That was fast.

"Twili," he breathed. "I think I'm ready; we should hurry."

Her eyes shot open in surprise as if she'd been yanked out of a trance. "Oh, uh, okay."

She hopped back down to the floor, almost tripping over her brother's hard on. She did an about face and stared at his stiff cock as it stood vertically above his plump pair of balls, waiting for her attention. She paused for her thoughts to emerge from the fog of a dizzying kind of head rush she'd never experienced before but would like to continue.

Twilight grabbed his engorged member with her magical aura, unable to resist pivoting it around for a quick examination. She'd never been able to see one up close like this before and it was a shame they didn't have more time but there could be other opportunities in the future. No, there would be other opportunities. She'd see to it as long as he was game.

Her eyes began to get lost in the interplay of pink and black speckles and the multitude of veins, ridges and other fascinating tactile features that begged to be explored. She shook her head, trying to get back on track. The light of her horn died but her forehooves quickly picked up where her magic left off.

Shining sucked air as she grabbed him by the medial ring and gave him a down up stroke. Nopony had ever touched him like this before. It made his stomach quiver.

Twilight looked him in the eye uneasily as she continued to pump him like a butter churn. "I admit I couldn't find many books actually detailing this part of the process but one thing they seemed to agree on is achieving a certain threshold of stimulation to the genitals. I'm guessing if I just do this for long enough, it should cause you to orgasm."

"Yeah, I think you're right," grunted Shining.

"Tell me if you feel like you're about to ejaculate so I can catch the sample."

"Okay," nodded Shining.

The two of them sat there silently as she worked his length with the steady beat of a ticking clock. Shining grunted softly and balled his hooves on the armrests as slowly but surely a certain familiar energy began to coil up between his legs.

She used a gentler, slower touch than he used on himself. It felt good and he would certainly cum from it if she kept it up but he also worried about taking too long and he also wondered…

Shining swallowed. "Um, Twili, I have an idea about how we can probably speed this up."

She cocked her head curiously to one side as she continued to jerk him off. "Really? How?"

"Use your mouth to stimulate me."

Her brow furrowed with uncertainty. "Y-you mean more kissing?"

"No, I mean do what you're doing now but with your mouth."

Twilight watched her own hooves firmly running along his length until the idea finally dinged in her brain and she imagined her head bobbing up and down as she massaged him with her parted lips. "Oh," she blinked. Seemed kind of weird but her instincts told her he was onto something.

Twilight paused her strokes and stood on her hind legs so she was eye level with his meaty tip. Without much deliberation, she pulled the shaft to her with one hoof, opened her jaws and stuffed her brother's head as deep into her mouth as she was comfortable with.

The hot, wet embrace within his sister's lips immediately turned the colt's body to jelly. The first thing Twilight noticed aside from the wide girth was the edge of his flare and how interesting it felt on her tongue and the roof of her mouth.

Her eyes flicked up at him and she was struck by the feverish glaze of his slack jawed expression. "Like this?" she mumbled, her slurred words buzzing through his shaft.

"Y-yeah," he shuddered. "Feels like that's working pretty well."

Encouraged by his positive reaction Twilight began to pump her head, sucking and slurping loudly up and down his cock, mimicking the motions of her hooves. Her tongue undulated autonomously along her brother's underside, making him squirm even more.

A cascade of drool flooded down his shaft. It was messy, it was awkward but watching her fumble around on his dick, making it up as she went along was the zenith of visual arousal. He was getting a blowjob from his little sister and it felt amazing. His pleasure bucket had nearly filled up with drips from her strokes but her mouth hitting him at this moment was adding a pounding waterfall. Before he knew it, his orgasm was crashing through the door without a knock.

Twilight reflexively swallowed the first blast of hot saltiness. She spit out the second, having the presence of mind to catch most of it in her hoof while the third and fourth blasts landed on her muzzle and in her mane. It was so much faster and more powerful than she'd anticipated.

"Shining," she coughed. "You were supposed to warn me." She kept her tongue hanging out as more of his semen dripped down from the tip in a long sticky strand to join the puddle she held.

"S-sorry. I lost my focus; it felt really good."

She looked down curiously at the pearly white pool in her hoof, then back up at him. "It's fine. Just help me try to salvage some samples with-"

Suddenly they heard the front door latch open and the whine of its creaky hinges and their parents entering the house in mid conversation with a third unidentified voice. Their eyes bulged in horror.

"Abort! Abort the test!" Twilight spun in a panicked circle, still holding the cum aloft in her hoof.

Shining sprang out of the chair, casting off a glob of residual jizz from his deflating cock as he landed.

"Twilight," called her mother. "We invited your teacher, Ms. Flora over for a visit, come down and say hi."

"Go down and tell them I'm in the bathroom," she whispered urgently. - - -

Twilight cried out in rapture, caught in the skillful grip of her older brother.

Shining administered a dizzying hoofjob with one hoof while locking her body to his with the other. He maintained a steady beat of powerful thrusts, keeping her clit nearly vibrating with the edge of his twitching hoof.

Shining's humid labored breath poured over her shoulder. Her hind legs twitched out of her control as she surrendered her body to his will. The test was officially running her and she didn't care. She wasn't going to last much longer and in the back of her mind was aware it would be best for conception if she climaxed after insemination but there was no way she was going to tell Shining to lay off now. She could always get herself off again later.

Shining continued feeding her roaring fire as she drowned out their soft plap plap with a rising tide of unprincess-like screams.

Twilight's muscles locked up. She whimpered pitifully as she cleared the final hurdle and euphoria crashed over her. When her legs finally stopped twitching and she returned to her senses, both of her brother's forelegs were wrapped firmly around her but his thrusting had only intensified. The plap plap was back with a vengeance.

Catching her breath, Twilight slipped an encouraging hoof over her shoulder to stroke his cheek as he grunted on the verge. His muscles tensed and rumbled beneath her. She glanced down her body to see her brother's balls clenching and the underside of his base pulsing rhythmically as it pumped her full of his virile seed.

Twilight sank into him as he relaxed. She placed a hoof on his and smiled to herself. "You always did know how to make an experiment more fun."

Shining, for once, said nothing, only buried his muzzle in her mane and inhaled. They sat there, breathing softly, enjoying each others' warmth. They made no attempt to move because the moment they parted from the dreamy haze of their post orgasm embrace, it was over. They went back to their respectable public lives and were just good friends again.

Twilight put her free hoof on his cheek again. "Back in the very beginning when we first started doing those tests in the chair… you weren't just humoring me because you wanted to be helpful, right?"

"I was a horny middle schooler, Twili. I definitely saw some fringe benefits and wanted in… but I would have helped you anyway."

"I knew it," she smirked. "Well, I was genuinely curious about male anatomy in the most innocent way possible. It just became less and less innocent the longer it went on."

"And yet we still pretend is was about research."

"It was always about research," she gasped in put-on indignation. "It just wasn't only about research… and sometimes the research was just sex."

He laughed weakly as he let her sit forward. His softening length slipped from inside her as she stood up. Before he knew it, she was wiggling a glass vial in front of his face.

"May I?

Shining blinked in bewilderment before remembering how their encounters always used to end. "Oh, yeah."

Twilight floated the test tube to her brother's wilting flare. Then she used her magic to milk his soft length, carefully squeezing the last of his sperm into the receptacle. She stoppered the vial and whisked it away into an enchanted cold container to take home.

Shining got back on his hooves and watched as his sister put her cheek to the floor and stuck her ass straight up as high as it would go.

"What are you doing?" he laughed in amusement.

She turned to him without changing her odd posture. "I'm giving your guys a little help on their way to the goal."

"Oh." He scratched his chin as it dawned on him only now just how strange and momentous this was. He was siring a foal with his sister who he'd likely have no claim to and never play a part in raising. Only his family knew this. Would the foal know some day? He'd have three children who were here long after he was gone. It gave him a weird existential pause.

Twilight stood up again. "Thanks, BBBFF! This is the greatest gift you could have ever given me." She wrapped her forelegs around her brother as a tear formed in her eye.

He returned her hug. "Don't thank me. Thank Cadance."

"I really should somehow," she agreed.

"And don't cry. You're not even pregnant yet."

"I know, it's just very emotional for me for a lot of reasons."

"Yeah," he breathed. - - -

Cadance broke from her book to gaze out the window as the sun set the sky ablaze for its curtain call of the day. She didn't make it another two sentences before a sudden snap of magic interrupted her reading. She looked over the brim of her book to see Twilight smiling tentatively at her.

"Hi, Twilight. Shining put a bun in your oven, yet?"

Twilight blushed at her blunt but innocuous quip. "Well, conception can take a couple of days so we'll see.

Cadance snapped her book shut and set it down next to her steaming teacup. She was so well composed now compared to the first night, thought Twilight.

"Did you start that book I gave you?" she asked, lifting her cup to her lips.

"Oh, yeah. It's just creepy weird so far. I want to save it for the train back though so I'm pacing myself."

"It gets really weird," added Cadance emphatically. "You'll see."

Twilight smiled. "Um… Cadance, are things any better?"

Cadance looked out the window again and chewed her lip. "I… think so."

"I know this is all very unorthodox and by all means, you didn't have to agree to it. I can't express how grateful I am that you gave me this opportunity. I really want to repay you but I'm not sure how."

Cadance sighed. She stood up and drew her fellow princess into a hug. "You are right, it is unorthodox. I said a lot of… unorthodox stuff when I was drunk and it's still bubbling up in my brain but… I stand by everything. All of that was really inside me. I just never had the courage or insanity to voice it and even though it was painful and embarrassing, I actually want to believe things might start to get better for us now."

Cadance release her and shook her head. "You don't have to do anything for me. If I really wanted something out of it, I would have negotiated a better deal, drunk as I was. But can I ask you a personal question?"

"Yes," she answered without hesitation.

"How long have you and Shining been doing this?" She swallowed, bracing for Twilight's honesty to slap her across the face.

"Well, we started when we were seven and thirteen." Twilight felt sudden panic at how weird that fact sounded out loud.

Cadance's eyebrows shot up.

"We stopped when you started dating and I was fifteen."

"Seven?" she hissed in disbelief. "You were practically a baby."

Twilight smiled sheepishly. "I was very precocious for my age as you remember and in all honesty, the whole thing was my idea. I wasn't sexually mature yet but I was still very curious about that kind of stuff and well… my brother was the safe way to explore that area because I knew he'd do anything to help me and wouldn't get me in trouble or make me feel like a freak."

Cadance knitted her brow in intense thought. She respected Twilight as a pony and a ruler. It was difficult to come to terms with this revelation. She'd never look at her the same again but… what did it really change? Celestia's protege and ruler of Equestria had been fucking her brother since the age of seven and carried on doing it though the majority of her formative years. It wasn't just her formative years though, it was also Shining's. That was where he got it from. It put a lot of things in perspective as she began to draw comparisons between what he'd done then and what he was doing now.

It was strange, maybe just a fruit of cockeyed optimism but Shining growing up with a relationship like this and then leaving it to choose her over his sister and then Remedy and Twilight's uncanny similarities gave her hope for her granddaughter's future.

Twilight sat down across from Cadance. She looked out at the orange sun as it began to dip behind an icy purple mountain range in the far off distance. "I know he's not exactly the brightest pony but I also know he's always trying to do the best for those he cares about."

That was true, Cadance admitted to herself. Both of those things were true.

The Open Door

Two pink lines… Remedy stared in catatonic shock at the little test strip she'd stolen from the drug store on the way home. The sinking feeling in her gut was the only thing she could think or feel. Her eyes scoured the package once again, hoping that this time the instructions would change and she'd find that she'd just stupidly misinterpreted the test. No… Maybe the test was defective or she'd contaminated it somehow. It had to be a false positive. She couldn't be pregnant. The birth control…

"This is… impossible," she whimpered. Tears began to trickle down her cheeks. "What do I do?" She couldn't fathom everything this meant but it was certain that her life as she knew it was coming to a screeching halt.

She couldn't self soothe; her mind was spiraling. She needed to tell mom or dad. They'd know what to do. They could help somehow. Dad… he'd be the father and great grandfather. She'd be the mom and sister. Knowing only where mom was, she teleported from the room with her horrid test and appeared in the conservatory where her mother laid on a triclinium, eating pastries and working on a crossword puzzle in the early evening light.

Flurry looked up to see her daughter with stinging red eyes and her face immediately fell in concern. She put her puzzle aside. "What's wrong, Remedy?"

"Mom, I really need to tell you something." She floated the positive test toward her. "I- I'm pregnant," she choked.

Flurry's eyes fell on the two parallel lines as she received the object with her own magic. "No way," she gasped "Just like… me." She looked back at Remedy, to truly gauge her reaction. Those definitely weren't tears of joy.

"How did this happen?" wailed Remedy. "I thought I was on the most effective oral contraceptive?"

Flurry gritted her teeth. "You were. That's what I gave you." She racked her brain in panic, thinking she must have screwed it up somehow like her dad did with her. It wasn't expired, she was sure of it. She bought a new batch specifically for Remedy. She drank the whole thing within the timeframe. They used it as directed. She couldn't figure it out but she also couldn't shake the feeling that she'd made a mistake.

Flurry shook her head sheepishly. "I don't know, sweetie. You know it's dad's, the foal?

"Yes… I'm so scared; I don't want to have a foal right now."

Flurry put her forelegs around her and clutched her tight. "That's exactly how I felt when it happened to me but then I had you." She smiled tentatively.

"I can't do this," cried Remedy, fresh tears gushing from her eyes. "I'm not ready. What about school?"

Flurry so wished that Remedy was excited about this so that she could also feel excited about it but instead she had to console her like her dad had just died and it was a real buzzkill.

Flurry stroked her daughter's mane to help calm her. "Honey, it'll be okay," She sighed. "Remedy, I wasn't going to tell this to anyone yet because I wanted it to be a surprise but… I'm pregnant too. Isn't that great?"

Remedy blinked in confusion as if her mother had just hoofed her a banana. "I- I guess."

The intimate and momentous revelation seemed less of a comfort and more of a temporary distraction from her daughter's personal apocalypse. None of this was going the way Flurry had hoped. "You'll get a new sister… well two new sisters now… I guess." She scratched her head. Was that correct? "We can be pregnant together at the same time. It'll be great. It won't be so scary."

"I regret everything," mumbled Remedy.

"Sweetie, it's going to be okay. I promise. I know it's a shock; I know you're young and it's hard but you're a princess who lives in a castle. We can get through this together. Remember, I know exactly how you feel."

For the moment, Remedy's tears seemed to have receded. Her breathing was also slowing back to normal.

"Go lay down in your room for a while. I'm going to talk to daddy, then I'll come check on you again. I'll get you some tea. It'll help calm you down. Would you like that?"

Remedy nodded listlessly into her mother's chest before releasing her and backing away.

Flurry blinked out of the conservatory and into Shining's study. The stallion didn't appear to be occupied with anything in particular except a tumbler of whiskey and a stack of official letters with broken wax seals.

He looked up from his desk and paused, expecting the intrusion to have an explanation.

"So dad," she began casually. If there were any good ways to break news like this, Flurry was not familiar with them. "Looks like you knocked up Remedy." She placed the test face up on his desk.

Shining's jaw dropped in initial surprise but she waited hopefully for perhaps a little smile. She was disappointed.

He turned to her looking like he'd been skewered through the mouth by an invisible spike. "You said you gave her birth control," he howled in dismay.

"I did," she flailed defensively. "I did everything by the book. It's not my first rodeo, dad. I don't know what happened."

"Did you talk to her?"

"Yes."

"How was she?"

Flurry frowned. "She… cried and was terrified," she admitted. "But it'll be okay, you know? Just like it was with me."

Shining buried his face in his hooves and shook his head. "Flurry, don't you get it? We really fucked up. This was never ever supposed to happen. We made a deal. We promised your mom. We told Remedy that she was safe. She trusted us and we failed her."

Flurry's face fell as she tried to come up with something helpful to add. She briefly entertained the idea of softening the blow by mentioning her own pregnancy but wasn't sure if he could handle two surprises in one sitting. Also, she didn't want to squander another announcement if she probably wasn't going to get the excited reactions she deserved.

"I- I didn't screw up," she breathed in uncertainty.

Shining downed the rest of his glass. "I did this to my own daughter… again," his voice cracked.

Flurry swallowed. "Uh… we'll talk about it more later. I said I'd check on her."

Shining watched her vanish in a flash. He clenched his eyes shut and let his head slump to the desk. It would be nice to be able to comfort her but how could he. Hadn't he interfered enough in her life? He wrenched the stopper out of the whiskey decanter and brought it straight to his lips. - - -

Two pink lines…

"Motherfucker," breathed Cadance as she paced around her room, floating the test idly in the air. She'd brought this on herself. She took out the ring and quite literally commanded him to put a foal in her.

There came a sudden burst of teleportation magic prompting her to reflexively hurl her pregnancy test across the bedroom.

Her eyes focused on the disturbance. "Re- Remedy? What is it?" She knew better than to just barge into someone's bedroom without even a knock. Something must have been wrong.

The distressed filly approached her. "Grandma… I'm pregnant."

"What?" she shrieked. "How do you know? You took a test?"

"Yes."

"Just now?

"Yes."

"Do you know who the father is?" As if there was any doubt.

"I've only had vaginal intercourse with one pony."

Cadance bit her lip in silent rage, nearly drawing blood but she took a deep breath and exhaled to calm herself down. She sat on her haunches and held out a hoof to her granddaughter. "Come here."

They wrapped their forelegs around each other. A hundred things stormed through Cadance's mind, the terror of repeating the cycle that screwed up her daughter, never being listened to, blind rage at the perpetrators, the cruel unfairness of it all.

"It'll be okay," murmured Cadance. She said it because these were the words they both desperately wanted to believe. "Can I get you anything?"

Remedy shook her head. "Mom is already getting me tea, I think."

"Oh, well you should go lay down and read a book; that's what I do when I want to disassociate from a bad situation."

"That sounds like a good idea," she sniffed. "Thanks grandma."

Cadance stroked her mane. I'll come see you in a little bit, sweetie. I have to go take care of something.

Remedy nodded obediently before vanishing in a snap of magic particles.

Cadance gritted her teeth in a sneer. "Shining," she growled.

She teleported into the study where sat a vacant desk with an empty whiskey bottle, Remedy's pregnancy test and a few papers fluttering to the floor in a cold draft. She turned to the curiously wide open double doors just in time to see a white figure disappear over the railing of the seven story high balcony.

Her eyes went wide in horror. Shining. He wouldn't. Adrenaline shot through her as she teleported out into thin air and instinct took over. She locked onto the quickly receding form of her husband as he plummeted toward the hard crystal courtyard. Her horn lit up as she threw her magic field around him a quarter second before impact and broke his fall. She unfurled her wings and spiraled down to meet him softly on the cold ground.

Shining laid on his side, heaving in some hysterical panic. When Cadance's presence of mind returned, she teleported them to the privacy and comfort of their bedroom, placing shining on the mattress.

All of Cadance's emotions had gone through a wood chipper, making it impossible to decipher what she was feeling right then. It took moments of listening to her husband bawling before she could put any words together at all.

"Shining, what the fuck were you thinking?" she exploded.

Shining covered his face as he dripped tears on the bedspread. "Nothing," he cried. "I don't think at all! I'm so stupid, Cadance; I ruined everything!"

Cadance's face softened. "You don't ruin… everything."

"I should have just let her tough it out like you always said."

"Well… yeah," she droned in beleaguered agreement. Better late than never, she supposed.

"I didn't think it was possible but I feel worse than when I did this to Flurry."

Cadance sighed and laid down next to him, placing a foreleg over him.

"Killing yourself isn't going to help; it's just going to make everyone else sad when we need you the most."

"I've disappointed everyone," he wailed. "And with the damage I've done, they'd all be better off without me."

"That's not true. You just need to listen to me more." She couldn't believe they were finally having this discussion almost thirty years into their marriage.

Shining buried his face in her chest and shook with fresh tears. She sighed again and stroked his mane and hoped that Flurry was consoling Remedy somewhere.

"Hey, you wanna know something funny?" asked Cadance. "For half a second I thought you might have jumped to escape my impending wrath."

For a while it seemed that her words hadn't even penetrated the cloud of despair encircling his brain but at some point she realized that his frenetic shaking was no longer from sobbing but instead stifled chortling that made his nose run.

She smiled and began to laugh with him in spite of herself as his cackling spiraled out of control and soon they had both lost it. Overwhelmed by the gravity of all that had happened, they laughed until their sides hurt and shining had to smear his nose on his fetlock.

"How can I laugh when everything is horrible?" He gasped.

"You can't die because I'm pregnant too," added Cadance without much thought. "You remember why."

His laughter died immediately. He pulled away from her chest to look into her eyes as if checking for sincerity. "Oh… well that's kind of cool at least." - - -

The next day, an official letter arrived from Princess Twilight Sparkle confirming that she was also pregnant. Having had her announcement plans ruined by three other announcements in the past forty-eight hours, Flurry Heart unceremoniously mentioned her condition to her parents as something to be considered while they sat in her father's study, discussing what to do next.

In a relevant sidenote, Twilight's letter also made mention of a small spike in pregnancies that had been traced back to a large tainted batch of birth control potions that went out across Equestria and needed 'immediate attention' from suppliers and local officials.

"I can raise mine and Remedy's foal as fraternal twins and just… tell everyone I'm an unwed whore mother of three," suggested Flurry, gruffly from the couch.

"Okay, I guess," agreed Cadance. "But we can instead say you have a non-traditional lifestyle. Also you don't have to be unwed if you don't want." She cocked her head to one side as a subtle hint. "But that brings me to my next point, I think that your family unit is large enough to have their own castle and dominion."

Flurry's eyes widened. "What are you talking about?"

"I think we should ask Twilight if you can move into the old Castle of Friendship as the full fledged Princess of Ponyville."

For a moment Flurry was shocked at the prospect of moving far away from the empire but then she was shocked at the prospect of being in charge of her own fiefdom. "You'd… trust me with ruling Ponyville?"

Cadance nodded weakly. "You're old enough and It's not as if you're completely clueless about such things. It's quite a sobering experience. I think that you would rise to the challenge and it would do you a lot of good."

Flurry squinted back at her. "Really? You're not just trying to kick me out?"

"I'm trying to come up with a solution to a complex problem that hopefully works best for everyone."

Flurry sat up slowly. "Wow," she sighed. "I'm going to have to talk with Remedy about all this… I know she wouldn't like leaving her school or moving but she'd love living closer to Auntie Twilight. But what about dad?"

"What about him?" shrugged her mother disingenuously.

"We won't really have him anymore."

"You mean… for sex?" droned Cadance.

"Yeah."

"You will figure out an alternative, Flurry. I have faith in you. You're going to have so many options." She twirled her hoof in the air for emphasis.

"About all that," added Shining. "I've been thinking a lot… after trying to kill myself and I don't think we should continue going the way we've been going, if only because of alicorn overpopulation."

"But this whole thing was a total fluke," argued Flurry with a worried edge to her voice.

"Or a black swan event," muttered Cadance.

"Well, it's not ideal but there's plenty of other stuff you can do with us that won't result in pregnancy," she suggested with a hopeful smile.

Shining rubbed his chin with uncertainty before side-eying his wife for direction.

"Counsel," she sighed. "One minute."

The two of them flashed away into their bedroom.

"Okay, fine, Shining," she blurted, rolling her eyes. "But only because I'm betting that the distance and infrequency is going to naturally wean them off of it but it ends with this generation. This part of Remedy's life will just be a strange blip in the grand scheme and Flurry is going to explore other options and it's going to start to feel weird or wrong to her, especially if she gets immersed in a relationship with a normal pony. If they don't adjust naturally, we will make it happen."

"That's… fine," agreed Shining. "I'm- I'm still worried about them but I'll make peace with that in time, I hope."

Cadance nodded and whisked them back to the study.

Shining turned to his daughter and swallowed. "I think we're going to treat that a lot more responsibly and sparingly as it'll have to be a special occasion type thing."

Cadance interjected. "Assuming this all works out, it's my hope that relocating will also help you break out of your shell and you'll discover who you are and what you really want out of life, especially for your family."

Epilogue

Cadance gripped the foreleg rests of her throne and sighed with intense satisfaction. Keeping her eyes closed, she squeezed Shining's head between her trembling thighs. It was just getting to the good part now where her whole body was humming in growing anticipation. With lips mashed together, she grabbed his horn and pulled his face closer, nestling it deeper between her spreading legs and crinkling his nose.

The increased pressure on her loins was a blast of heaven. Despite her roughness, his tongue kept slurping through her folds. She let out a deep moan that echoed through the crystalline throne room. Her free hoof continued to paw roughly at the end of the rest.

He'd done this every other day for practically five months now, not usually in the throne room but he suspected that today she was sending a message. He had to lay on the floor before her with his head up just to access her marehood.

Cadance was now hunched over him, her eyes clenched shut as she thrusted her vulva to his lips. She clenched his horn while the left foreleg rest nearly crumbled in her grip. A burst of pleasure shot through her system. Her wings unfurled from rigid spine and shuddered with a rustling of her feathers before slowly folding with blissful contentment.

The princess slumped back in her seat with a sigh and a dazed smirk on her muzzle.

Shining stood up and licked his lips clean. "Alright, see you in a couple days," he panted. He craned his neck to kiss her and turned to leave. "Love you."

"Hold on. Aren't you forgetting something?" She gestured to his undercarriage where he'd acquired a bit of chub in his length from eating her out.

"Oh, uh. It's not too bad, it'll probably go away or you know what, maybe I'll just… throw something on."

Cadance shook her head. "I'm not letting you just smuggle an erection out the door."

Shining gritted his teeth. "But the train's in less than ten-"

She beckoned him to her with an indifferent smirk.

"Okay," he sighed with hurried compliance. "So… do I sit now?"

"Nope. Now you stand. Two legs," she clarified.

"Oh, I see." He promptly reared up, hanging his forehooves over the top of Cadance's high backrest and presented his battle weary but hard enough dick to her face.

Cadance licked her lips as she beheld the offering but couldn't resist the urge to chide him for his remark. "Shining, I'm hurt. Are you doubting that I have enough time, even worn out and semi flaccid as you are?"

"No. Of course not. I would never intentionally suggest such a-"

His words vaporized as Cadance swallowed him whole in half a second. Her pouting lips bounced on the base of his shaft with a slurp.

"Oh, fuck," he grunted shakily," his forehooves curling over the backrest in pleasure. His member's half-mast flexibility meant she could fully deepthroat him with ease from her seated position.

Cadance clamped her hooves on his flanks and pushed him even further into her. Her tongue came out and snaked around his balls. First one and then the other, almost threatening to pull it inside her cheek.

Shining's legs twitched on the verge of turning to rubber. His wife's mouth was an incomprehensible wonder of nature. She pulled away slightly, her pillowy lips pursing around his girth and she began to bob her head in short but potent strokes. He felt his balls rolling around as she massaged them in her magical aura, still squeezing his flanks with her hooves.

Shining's eyes were half lidded. His brain melted to mush as he freefell toward climax. When it hit, his hooves clamped on the backrest to help do what his legs couldn't.

Cadance paused when she felt his cock pulse happily in her throat and he purged what little seed he left in him. She rubbed his flanks and gave a satisfied "Mmm," as her belly filled with his cream.

He paused there a moment, gathering himself as his wife's tongue stroked idly about the underside of his softening base as if in no hurry to part. Shining withdrew from her slowly with an astounded sigh and got to his shaky hooves.

Cadance settled back in her throne and propped her chin upon one forehoof. "See? It pays to listen to me; I have good ideas. Now you're ready to go… after a proper goodbye kiss, that is."

Shining smiled weakly. He leaned into her and they tasted themselves on each others' lips and deep inside their mouths. Their lips parted with a sticky strand of what could have been anything and everything. They locked eyes for a moment.

"Don't forget your son," she murmured, pointing down.

Shining's eyes trailed down her barrel to rest on her bulging six month stomach. She stroked the sides with her forehooves as if presenting it to him. He smirked and bowed to plant a tender kiss on her soft underside. - - -

"Shining, you made it!" Twilight pulled him into their usual prolonged bear hug which was just platonic enough to not raise eyebrows. "Is Cadance not with you?"

"No. She had to stay a while longer but she'll catch up." His eyes fixed on the enchanted stained glass window which depicted a gleaming Princess Twilight large with foal, her eyes closed with a serene smugness. "Wow," he breathed. He looked back down at the healthy protrusion hanging beneath his sister. "Look at you; you're glowing."

The alicorn blushed. "Thanks. I feel like I'm turning into a blimp."

"No. Ridiculous," he scoffed. "Can I touch your blimp- I mean bump?"

"You don't have to ask," she giggled. "They're half yours."

"You're not gonna tell them that though."

Twilight screwed up her face in consideration. "No. Not before I think they're ready anyway."

Shining placed a hoof on her stomach and slid it slowly over her hump. He smiled warmly. "Feels hard like a watermelon."

"Yeah, that's a prodromal contraction. They're not hurting so far so that's nice. I'll let you know when they stop; then you can touch me when I'm squishy," she laughed. "Well, you should go on up. You don't want to keep your girls waiting."

"Nope. That would be bad," he sighed. "Later." He teleported away and up to the closed off tower of Canterlot Castle that Flurry Heart was hidden away in so long ago. He aparated in front of the same door and gave it a little knock before just bursting inside.

"Package delivery," he smirked, kicking the door shut behind him.

His daughters turned to him in delighted surprise.

"Dad!"

Remedy galloped to him first and reared up to wrap her forelegs around his neck. Then she pulled him into a deep kiss. Their hungry lips locked around tangling tongues. Shining slid his hoof down under her pregnant belly and in between her legs where he began to rub in little circles.

Her hips rocked in appreciation and her stance widened to allow him better access.

Having a smaller frame made her look further along than her mother when in reality all three alicorns in the castle were about the same and all due in the same month. Cadance too, for that matter.

"Is grandma here?" mumbled Remedy into his kneading lips.

"No… Later," he replied in between wet hot smacks.

She gave a disappointed groan.

"Alright, alright, my turn," declared Flurry, tapping her daughter on the withers.

Remedy got down and crouched under her father to help tease out his lazy cock. She stroked his sheath as it began to emerge and her mother took over in the tongue kissing department. She wrapped a hoof around the back of his head and roughly held his lips to hers. The girls' combined efforts got him fat and fully extended but still squishy. Remedy popped his tip in her mouth and began nodding her head in circles, feeling the rim of his flare running laps around her mouth. The tip of her horn tickled his barrel.

"Get on the bed," she heard her mom mumble with a nibbled bottom lip.

Shining's cock head slipped from Remedy's lips as he stumbled away and flopped face up on the mattress. Flurry pounced next to him, laying the opposite direction and quickly pulled his shaft closer with one hoof. Once again, she picked up where their daughter had left off, kissing his moistened tip before plunging it down her throat. She began to work him in and out above the ring with ravenous fervor.

Remedy fluttered up on the end of the bed just in time to see her mother scarf down the entirety of their father's shaft, making it disappear inside her like a magic trick.

"You have to teach me how to do that; I don't get it."

Flurry pulled off of him and stroked his wet length absently with both hooves while she replied. "It gets easier as you grow, at least it did for me."

Neither of them would ever be as good as Cadance though, thought Shining, looking down between Flurry's flanks. She'd wisely ruined him.

Flurry slid him back down her soft gullet while Remedy zeroed in on his plump sack. She laid down and sucked in his right ball like a koi fish. She swirled her tongue around the orb while massaging the other with one hoof.

Shining placed his forehooves atop his daughters' bobbing heads as his pleasure began to take flight. His stomach involuntarily rippled with joy.

"Ung, you'd better ease up if you want to do more with it." he grunted warily.

Flurry pulled off of him again. "Oh, Remedy, what do you want today?"

Remedy looked up at her. "You can have the phallus this time; I just want a 'floatjob,'"

"Yes," Flurry celebrated.

While her mother seemed to always be down for whatever, under ordinary circumstances, Remedy didn't really care much for threesomes. They were just too chaotic and unpredictable. There were times though where she was horny enough to not mind at all.

Shining sat up, "Okay, who up first?"

Remedy and Flurry looked at one another as if taken aback by the question. Clearly neither liked the idea of having to wait. They'd been thirsting for this moment for weeks, their bodies about to explode with rabid pregnancy hormones.

"You can do both at the same time, can't you?" pouted Flurry.

"Alright," Shining sighed listlessly. His horn pulsed with a neon glow that spread over his entire body before quickly dispersing. You knew this would happen, he thought. Should have just prepared before you walked in.

He still enjoyed the sex but his passion, libido and performance had all dipped from Cadance becoming a virtual succubus for the full week before his scheduled departure. Even with the long train ride to recover, she'd successfully drained him for at least the start of the trip. If he didn't know any better, he'd think she was playing some kind of scorched earth game.

Flurry wriggled into position with her ass and spread legs at the edge of the bed. "Just hit me on two legs and there's plenty of room for Remedy," she suggested eagerly.

Their number of sexual encounters may have been pared down to a skeleton of its former self but for the time being, they were still just as carefree about their sex positions; it wasn't as if they were going to accidentally get more pregnant, and the girls wanted to enjoy the time they had left with their personal sex catering service.

"Yeah," he nodded. He looked to Remedy who was grinning ear to ear with lustful anticipation. He got off of the bed and assumed the position, looming over Flurry's dripping entrance. Then he enveloped Remedy with his magical aura and lifted her from the mattress. She gasped as he folded her forelegs tightly against her underside and flipped her on her back in the air. Her erogenous zones caught fire with suspense when he pinned her hind legs wide open and brought her slit to his muzzle. She couldn't move at all and for her that was erotic perfection.

Flurry helped herself by seizing her father's member with her own magic and stuffing his flare between her lower lips to get him started. He obliged her, thrusting forward to fill her all the way up. She gave a long moan of satisfaction.

Shining's vision filled with the underside of Remedy's bulbous pregnancy pudge. Lastly, he used his magic to pop out her swollen clit, making it blossom like a flower. Then he began to lick it up and down. Her mouth dropped open and she cried out in jarring ecstasy. When she made him do this to her it was like starting out at a six on a ten scale that always somehow ended on a twelve.

Shining grabbed Flurry's legs and pushed them together at twelve o'clock.Then he leaned against them and began to pump. It felt good but he wished he was laying down or mounting in the vanilla position. He sucked in Remedy's clit to send her to a new plain of pleasure.

"Are grandma and grandpa Sparkle still freaked out about… you know… everything?" asked Flurry over the sound of their thighs slapping together.

"Mm-hmm," he hummed into Remedy's folds.

"They'll get over it once they see how cute our new 'twins' are." She dreamily rubbed her hooves over her own bulging belly as she continued getting pounded.

Their relationship wouldn't stay like this for too much longer. They'd have their foals, then move into the Castle of Friendship. She liked that her own pregnancy coordinated with her daughter's so that they could make the journey together in this sort of voluntary banishment though she'd made a few public appearances while pregnant just to establish her pregnancy in the minds of Equestrians.

Shining let Flurry's legs fall away and planted his hooves back on the bed. She took the opportunity to rub herself just above the slickness of his sliding cock. She moaned in chorus with her daughter floating above as he devoured her pussy with vigor and they careened toward a long awaited climax. Flurry placed her free hoof over her belly as she felt the foal squirm excitedly inside. She smiled as she came and dreamt of all she had in store for her.
