Winner of Tchernobog's AppleDashLight Contest.
Applejack, Twilight, and Rainbow Dash could never have been said to be ordinary ponies. So it really shouldn't be all too surprising that they've managed to lead unconventional love lives as well. Love lives that they might have neglected to tell their friends about.
But they’re not worried; the magic of friendship has taught them well, and they are confident the bonds they've formed with their fellow ponies will result in nothing but heartfelt congratulations and acceptance when they make their relationship official.
They are stupidly, stupidly mistaken.
Cover art by the magnificent Conicer.

Discord would be proud of the amount of chaos caused
THE HILARITY. IT MAKES ME HAPPY.

No he wouldn't for Celestia would restart her harem... while he be hard press to find even one intersted Mare.
If Celesia would remain single, he would be happy.
now i want a second one that involves them dealing with the princesses' harem idea and the nobility!
4194703
I may or may not have toyed with a similar such idea.
4194754 yessssss!
This pleases me greatly.
I wholly approve of this harem idea.
Every time I see custom Conicer art as a story cover, I know it's going to be good.
Screw this noise, because I just took a cold shower. It was cold.
LOL! If this is your first story, I can't wait for moar! xD
wow...
Dammit DrunkenLogic, you make me want to go back and fix my own crap stories :P
These are best horse words.
Take my upvotes!
4195653
Ha! I actually have one of your stories open in another tab right now.
please make a sequel involving the harem thing that would be so amazing and funny, please
You seem to have written Rarity's "Lesson Zero..."
Fuck. I forgot about when you asked me about Flutterbutter doing that. Pff.
You're a nutbar :D
*looks at DV's profile*
I followed him before it was cool :P
4195729
I am ABSOLUTELY a nutbar. Also yes, you get to be a hipster about following a drunken moron who writes horse words.
4195743 Hey, man. MY first horsewords were pornography.
4195721 Oh? Which?
4195772
Clearly the polyamory sequel to the "these stories have stupidly long titles" series.
Congratulations on winning the contest! Have a follow.
I agree with forrest yuchnitz, this definitely needs a sequel.
The... Royal.. Harem???? * Eye-twitches * I need an Adult?
I tried not to laugh hysterically, I really did...
You had me at the 'overlord', and than promptly attempted to mind fuck me alongside twilight, thank Celestia my mind is very fluent in insanity. Discord was this story's writer, I KNOW it!!! I love this. I truly do.
It's too much for my brain to handle right now, I think I am going to go to bed and sort it all out in the morning.
Follow-up now!
A deserving winner! This story had me grinning like Pinkie
There are a handful of minor corrections that need seeing to:
per se
the biggest consumers being {in | from} Canterlot
But while we wait, dears,
Either "...the bacchanalian display" or simply "...the bachanal".
I have to say that I was a little disappointed in one scene - I was really expecting this to be a fake-out with half-twist:
I was expecting something like this:
I can't find this cover art anywhere in Conicer's gallery.

Celestia is an Adult...Luna too technically.
This was great, and the ending is great, and you need to write the sequel like yesterday, because the divine sisters inflicting ancient and kinda seedy sexual customs on their subjects just to get a little tail would be funny as hell.
Loved the Fluttershy reveal - I half expected her to come back with a huge stack of paper, wanting to know if they'd done anything she'd written about in her fanfics. Her fanfics about basically everyone she's ever met. I was hoping she'd get mad when Twi/AJ/Dash insisted they'd never even CONTEMPLATE doing some of that stuff, accuse them of kink-bashing.

Fo' sho'.
Let's see...
Gratious mentions of sex? Check.
Pervert Equestria? Check.
Bent characterizations for the sake of Comedy? Check.
No wonder this took first place.
4196692 Y'know Karra, I can't remember if you were in the contest or not.
If you were, the sour grapes is really, really unprofessional.
If you weren't, you really should have enough respect for your friends who were to not be really tacky about it.
This is pointlessly rude.
Rarity's grin on the cover art is going to haunt my nightmares.
4196692
Seriously, not cool.
4196692 just gonna join in here and say you're being kind of a dick.
I just got the reference to 'Meet the Parents', with that cover art
Nice one!
Now you have me wondering just what the Ponyville Insurance Agency thinks of living in the town... Have a happy thumb up.
I took one look at rarity in the cover art and I couldn't help but to think RAPE FACE!!!!
4196412
Your alternate interpretation is quite amusing, and in my mind, equally plausible. Also, thanks for taking the time to pick through for grammar issues; every little bit helps.
4196479
Conicer just finished the cover art when I posted it yesterday, a fact I thank him profusely for. He'll probably put it up in due time.
4196692
Each to his own, I suppose.
4197134 and as soon as a criticism of the story's quality is offered up, I'll accept that. There wasn't one, Steel. Just a note of its content.
4194276 I second that emotion.
4196818
While I agree criticisms can come with more tact, you have to admit the quality of things that usually end up being in the featured box doesn't always deserve "tact." If the guy doesn't like a story's content he can say it.
That said, I at least found the story amusing, especially lampshading how easily Ponyville is normally driven to hysterics.
