Applejack flees before the spectre of death, taking up writing as solace and succor. In the process, time moves on around her, and wounds heal. While the Apple family struggle with a death, Applejack writes a novel.

Rainbow Dash had hoped that when Applejack came home, it would be a warm and happy reunion between the two lovers after AJ returned from the latest Apple Family Reunion. However, Rainbow Dash learns that AJ and her immediate family are no longer Apples. They are now clanless and it's all because of her.

Yet sometimes, true family lies not in blood, but in love.

(An old fic I made a long time ago but never got around to posting it, this was made before Apple Family Reunion )

Well baby I surrender to the strawberry ice cream never ever end of all this love ...

The story begins with soda pop, but starts before that with the end of the beginning and an unusually ironic-titled dessert. Or, an insight into Applejack and Pinkie Pie and how they went from strangers to something much more than just lovers.

1.) In which Applejack and Pinkie Pie make lemonade with disastrous consequences.
2.) In which Applejack and Pinkie Pie meet for the first time.
3. In which Pinkie Pie teaches Applejack to dance.

Note: Will include flashback chapters as well, up until a point where all chapters will continue to be in present day.
Teen for now, I'm not sure where this is heading or what it will contain, but Teen seems the safest option.
Lot's of ApplePie. Other ships are unconfirmed, but all canon pairings will be there. (I'm thinking of adding TwiShy and RariDash, but that is unconfirmed at the moment.)
EDIT: Concerning pairings, this will definitely contain some RariDash. Other pairings still unconfirmed.
This completely follows canon!

For Spike, the Summer Sun Celebration was more than the celebration of the summer solstice. It was the day he and Twilight came to their new home in Ponyville, the day the Elements of Harmony were rediscovered, the day six mares found a bond so powerful, it would define their entire world.

For Spike, today was a day of remembrance.

Everyone knows that two mares can't have a foal. . . unless their best friend is one of the greatest magical minds in Equestria.

Applejack and Rainbow Dash went to Twilight Sparkle with a simple question: Could she make a spell that would allow them to have a foal together? After a year of magical research, Twilight thinks that she's done just that. But the spell is not without potential side effects, and AJ and Dash have to decide if they're ready to be part of a magical experiment that could give them a foal of their own, or cost Applejack her life.

...oops.

Rainbow Dash accidentally gives Twilight a severe overdose of painkillers. Now, she and another visitor to the library must deal with the consequences of forgetting to read the label.

Rated Teen for drug references and strong pony language (Rainbow Dash uses the "b" word).

Accepted into Twilight's Library on 3/27/14.

~SPOILERS~
Click here to see the five references mentioned in the A/N.

After tiring of Twilight's hostile attitude, Discord decides to "help" the Elements of Harmony by bringing in an alternate version of each of them. These duplicates from various worlds aren't told anything about each other, which is good. The last thing Equestria needs is these monsters working together.

Applejack from Bad Apples by... Bisque? It's hard to find an evil Applejack story.

As a mare who prides herself on cleanliness Rarity never had problems with things like cockroaches, until now. How did this happen and why? Read and find out.

Fluttershy, one of the most shy and kind ponies in all of Ponyville, is returning home from the spa as she passes through the marketplace. Applejack, known for her honest and hard-working demeanor, is out selling apples for the day. Neither expects today to be out of the ordinary.

As she leaves, Fluttershy's ears pick up a distressing sound. Is that a foal crying? A foal in distress is not something that can be ignored, and Ponyville's two virtuous ponies intend to help!

She's tired of waiting.
But she'll keep waiting anyway. She knows that her darling's doing the same.
