Applejack has always derived her strength from her family, and Fluttershy has long derived hers from Applejack. Everypony involved learns a little bit about friendship and romance when the two mares fall for each other.

this fic was originally written in March of 2011

Applejack takes Fluttershy home after a party. Written with a word-count of exactly 1000 words.

One day, while deep in thought during a flight, Fluttershy finds herself flying over Sweet Apple Acres. She ends up helping Applejack harvest her apples, but she's got something that she's having trouble getting off her chest.

(My first pony fanfic! Originally posted on EqD back in March-April 2011. I'm pretty sure it was the first AJ/FS fic on EqD, a fact I like to tout because I am silly.

Being as it's my first work, I think I've improved quite a bit since then, but I'm still quite pleased with how it came out as a whole.)

Applejack and Fluttershy have never been particularly close; in all honesty they're more like acquaintances with mutual friends than actual friends with each other.
But when Winona is injured Fluttershy is the only one who can help, and as Applejack tries to pay back the debt she feels she owes the pegasus for her kindness they both discover that there might be more to each other, and their own feelings, than they realized.

Fluttershy has something very important to tell Applejack, if her traitorous voice will cooperate with her.

Written for the MLPchan Thanksgiving Writeoff, which had the prompt "Words That We Couldn't Say".

I'm extremely honored and flattered that anyone wanted to do a reading of my little story. Thank you both so much!

It's Hearth's Warming Eve in Ponyville, and everypony is happy. Well, mostly. Fluttershy's plans for spending time with her family were cancelled, but Applejack decides that it would be best if she stayed with Applebloom and herself.

Happy holidays everyone!

Sorry if this isn't the best, just some shippy stuff that I wanted to do.

Applejack is a well-mannered, down to earth mare. She values her family and friends, and loves to help others. But while she and Fluttershy are lost in the Everfree forest, she tells of her tragic back story, her worst memories and the reason she always wears her hat.

After a bad experience with a pony, Applejack becomes angry and hostile to all ponies with the same colored coat. Will she ever change her views? Can there be a certain pony that can touch her angered heart?

Fluttershy had a family at one point. They sent her to a flying camp and then she fell and discovered Ponyville. But her parents never went after her, and now she's too afraid to go back. Are they even still alive? Does she have a family anymore?

((Hurr durr, since my last two fics were about Twilight, time to make one about Flutters. Flutterick said to make an original sad story. This is the best I can do. I was going to do Rainbow Dash originally, but I decided against it.))

Applejack and Fluttershy have been together for a while, and Applejack wants to take the next step.

When Fluttershy is hit by a case of the feather flu, however, Applejack will have to put everything on hold to care for her marefriend.

Enjoy.
