Description I'm glad y'all liked the last family tree cause they're are super fun to make lmao. I wasn't initially planning on doing the Apple family so soon, but I realized that if I was going to do Pinkie or Fluttershy I'd need to figure out what to do with their siblings and I have not made up my mind what they're all up to yet! And since Shy and Dash are married in this universe, that automatically cancelled her out as well whoops. So that left either Rarity or Applejack and I was more in the mood for some Apple shenanigans so here we are! 

The kid's names are from left to right: Bright Oak, Skyline, Apple Buck, and Clover!

Some explanations for what's going on here: 
- Obviously the Apple family is really big and sprawling, but I figured I'd just tackle the most immediate family members.
- I sort of went back and forth on who Aunt Orange should be related to (she has a similar mane color to Pear Butter but the exact same fur color as Bright Mac; honestly they all sort of look similar) but I thought it would fit Grand Pear's protectiveness better to have Butter be an only child. 
- Doubt I'll ever go into this much after this, but Aunt Orange and Granny Smith are mildly estranged; they don't get along and Orange much prefers city life in Manehatten over farmwork. She was devastated by the death of her brother and couldn't bring herself to spend any extra time at the farm after the funeral, returning to the city as soon as she could, which resulted in a huge fight between her and Granny Smith. They spent years not talking to each other and only recently have formed a tentative truce. She adores her nieces though and was happy to give Applejack a safe place to hide away at when she needed a break from the farm after the death of her mother. 
- I have no thoughts on who Granny Smith and Grand Pear were married to, but I do like the idea of Granny being married to another mare. 
- Big Mac is a trans mare in this universe, named Orchard Blossom! 
- Soarin's got a lot of really gnarly scars from very bad accident he was in during a performance involving one of his signature lightning moves; he spent a lot of time recuperating on the farm with AJ and it was one of the main reasons he decided to retire from his Wonderbolt career. He still hasn't fully recovered from it; his wings get very stiff and sore if he spends too long flying. 
- Apple Bloom and Diamond Tiara are dating! Diamond keeps trying to work up the courage to ask Bloom to marry her, but hasn't quite gotten there yet. 

Honestly I don't know how I got so attached to Applejack and Soarin; you read two good fics about a minor pairing in high school and then can never let it go. 

More on the next gens mentioned! (god I really need to redo the Skyline, Buck, and Clover one though alskdfjalsd)
