“I ain’t just a farmer anymore and you ain’t just a fashion designer anymore. Now we’ve got new titles.” She placed a hoof on her chest. “Element of Honesty...” -- she moved her hoof to Rarity -- “and Element of Generosity. Saviors of Equestria and whatnot.”

When Applejack was a filly, she'd been told a hundred times by her parents that she was special. This... this isn't what she expected.

The last time she tried to offer Fluttershy's brother a small job to get him back on his hooves, Rarity was rewarded with a trashed boutique and a dreadful cleaning bill for her cat. For most ponies, an encounter like that would lead them to tossing out Zephyr Breeze the instant he tried to come back for another shot.

However, due to his recently-acquired confidence, as well as his sister's approval of his new behavior, Rarity hesitantly decided to give him a second chance after he was fired from his most recent hairdressing job. After all, one of the most important foundations of friendship is forgiveness; plus, the fashionista was meaning to look for a stylist for an upcoming fashion show she was running.

However, a small snag may be enough to put both Rarity and Zephyr Breeze through a rather awkward loop. Since the mare can't exactly get a fair reference from Zephyr's previous employer, she would have to see his skills by example. But since all of her wigs were gone, that meant there was only way she could know how good of a hairdresser he was: By having him cut somepony's mane.

And Rarity was the only pony around.

Worried about her friends' mortality, Twilight hatches a daring plan. She probably should have told them about it first.

UPDATE (2024): Them's Writin' Words podcast did a wonderful review of this story. I appreciate all the thought and work put in to their critiques and all the kind words.

Something Rarity says frightens Flash Sentry out of Carousel Boutique. Now she desperately tracks him down to find out what's troubling him.

A newly-winged Spike has a frank conversation with Rarity about their relationship.

Starlight Glimmer, former dictator turned guidance counsellor, is given an anonymous note, seeking help and advice. As she asks her friend Rarity for advice, her day is set to take an unexpected turn.

Jake, a new arrival to Equestria, finds himself roped into a high tea with Princess Celestia and a group of snobby nobles. The lunch is boring, the tea is boring, and the nobles are boring. Celestia gives Jake an out, and he takes it, braving a final conversation with one 'Lady Rarity' in the hopes that he can escape the whole boring affair and get a cup of goddamn coffee.

Rated T for snarky language and witty banter.
The sequel to this story is now available.

A visit to Twilight's house started off like normal. Some gossip here, some makeup there.

Then Rarity ventured into Spike's room, and is appalled at how child-like It looked. Dolls, Comic books, and even a Power Pony themed blanket. As an act of "generosity", Rarity decides to surprise Spike with a new room and gives away all of his collectibles.

His reaction? Well... It's rather... explosive.

An unrealistic interpretation of Spike's reaction if his comic books were to be tampered with. Written for fun/practice as my first comeback story since 2014! Enjoy!

This story is a sequel to Rainbow Dash is Hitting on You

You are Rarity, a fashion designer in Ponyville, along with one of the few members of the Council of Friendship. Life is good, you are good, your friends are good...

Well, for the most part.

3 months. Rainbow Dash says that she'd been hitting on this stallion for 3 months now, and was getting nowhere. She needs your help! And yet, Rainbow is quite reluctant.

Pfft, khh. It's not like this happens everyday! She clearly doesn't know she needs some help with her potential stallionfriend. So you're going to go visit this 'Sunshine Sprite' character and explain all this to him, for both Rainbow and his own benefit.

After all, what could possibly go wrong?

Thanks to my editor, Android, for making sure things don't look sloppy.
