Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie spend the day together

In the heat of the moment, some ponies have a habit of letting things out. Sometimes they are minor things that most just shrug off and forget about in a matter of milliseconds. Sometimes they are things that, once revealed, shake the very foundation of their existence.

Rarity's latest revelation falls into the latter.

Rainbow Dash is happily reading the latest Daring Do novel, only to be interrupted just before the last chapter by the untimely arrival of Pinkie. Undeterred by the interruption the two decide to read it together. Dash discovers then, that sharing your passion with a friend can lead to something more...
Now with audio version here by the awesome guys of Reading Rainboom.

Do we know what colour means the most in the end?

Rainbow Blitz falls for the quiet and bookish Dusk Shine, but nothing goes as planned for the poor pegasus, and he becomes a victim of intolerance and prejudice, with betrayal lurking around every corner. In the meantime, Dusk doesn't know what he should do, this is something he has to work out by himself.

Rarity is the consummate Lady: she never goes back on her word, and she never complains to a customer. But this newest order has just been different and for the first time in a long, long time Rarity finds herself truly with empty hooves, with no creative energies to summon.

Some mild Raridash. Not really shipping, but sort of? Anyhow, I hope you enjoy! It was nice to write something after being sort of stuck myself.

Chapter 1: Confessions and Awakenings: Pinkie Pie is unconscious after saving Rainbow Dash, and the pegasus remains by her side. But how does Dash really feel about her friend? And can Pinkie Pie recover? Based on TMP Prompt #81.

Rainbow Dash has been dating Pinkie Pie for nearly a month and, in spite of Pinkie’s objections, is keeping the affair a secret from the rest of their friends. Deciding she's had enough, Pinkie Pie throws a party announcing their relationship.

Rainbow Dash is fine. She doesn’t have any problems, no guilt holding her back, not even an unrequited crush. She doesn’t need or even want anything more in her life. Then what’s the nagging feeling that she keeps tucked in the back of her mind, keeping her up at night, plaguing her every thought, and leading to an insomniac double life?

When a mysterious new threat begins tearing apart the comfortable walls Rainbow Dash had built around her heart and soul, she’s forced to look inside herself and answer questions she didn’t even know she had. And the question remains: Does she even know what she deeply lusts?

In the most important day of Rainbow Dash's life, the only one of her friends that is missing is Pinkie Pie.

The only thing left of her is a letter.

A letter in which the pink pony poured all of her heart...

A letter in which there is everything she wished to say to the pegasus...and couldn't find the courage.
