Rainbow Dash is nothing if not daring, so after reading the Daring Do books she attempts some of Daring's dangerous deeds. She then writes a letter to the author with some helpful hints she learned in the process.

While coming home from the Canterlot rodeo with Applejack, Rainbow Dash spots a strangely familiar pony. The weird coincidence seems to mean something more to Applejack, leading to a conversation about family that may bring two friends even closer.

Applejack and Big Macintosh both have dates for the evening, but Apple Bloom isn't about to let them out of the house until her curiosity is satisfied. . .

This could be a while.

(If you are against fillyfooling or coltcuddling, this is not the fic for you.)

Applejack and Rainbow Dash knew this would be hard, but a long distance relationship was in their future from the start. A Wonderbolt and an apple farmer don't have a lot of time in the same place, so they do their best with letters and the occasional weekends. But when Applejack finds out that Rainbow Dash is on the cover of Flyers Illustrated: Wet Feathers Edition, it plays on a fear she never mentioned to Dash: Everypony knows that famous ponies are different from normal folks. . .

Right?

When Rainbow Dash finds her thoughts colliding, she decides to go to her friends for some advice. What she discovers is the every one of them keeps a diary to help them sort things out, so with a brave face and a second-hoof notepad, Dash does just that. What follows is an account of her life - warts and all - her friends, her job, Tank, a very special mare, and her dreadfully embarrassing parents. So, what is it like to be the Element of Loyalty? You're about to find out!

(Warning, Applejack x Rainbow Dash shipping!)

Seasons one and two are now complete! Season three is being continued in The AppleDash Project: Wherever Life Takes Us.

The AppleDash project is a series of short fics attached to various episodes, detailing a relationship between Rainbow Dash and Applejack behind the scenes. The stories take place sometime during or shortly after the indicated episode.

This is not meant to start shipping wars, argue that AppleDash is canon, or offend other shippers. In fact, if you like the idea I encourage you to try it with other ships!

Teen rating means that there may be talking about sex, and there is one line of dialogue that takes place during intimate relations, but it's warned for and skippable. Nothing sexual is described.

Rainbow Dash has always been Applejack's best friend, but when something unexpected happens, and they thought about themselves in a different way, will everything be the same again? Would they thought the same thing? Would their friends accept their decission?

On the other side, Applebloom is having troubles to tell a fellow crusader her feelings, so seeks the advice of her sister.
Scootaloo was insecure about something, and she needs Dash help to get through, will everything go as expected?

You know you're in love when you can't stop dreaming about that pony...
And Applejack will make sure Rainbow Dash dreams about her. Whether she likes it or not.

Proofread by the amazing Jackie.
This is a one-shot and then there's an epilogue/alternative ending. It's not really needed for you to read the epilogue. Some prefer the way the original chapter ends better.

This is my entry for the Second AppleDash Contest: Applejack The Chaser

Rainbow Dash doesn't have anypony to spend her Hearth's Warming with—she hasn't for many years. All of her friends are enjoying it and she's had enough. She finds her way to Sweet Apple Acres and asks Applejack if she can spend the evening with her family.

AppleDash shipping. Again.
