"Here's the deal, Rainbow Dash," Discord said, pacing about before the distressed pony, "I've found that you and one of your little friends would make an adorable couple. If you can get the right pony to fall in love with you in thirty days, I'll give you back your wings."
Rainbow Dash glared at Discord, her gaze growing narrower and narrower. "And if I don't?"
Discord waved his claws, two writhing wings appearing in his grasp. He grinned wickedly, before tossing them off the edge of the cloud. "Oopsy-doopsy!"

So, I realized the other day that Rainbow is shipped pretty popularly with each member of the mane six. Not sure why that is, but it's true. Anyway, I thought, wouldn't it be hilarious if she was shipped with every single one in the same fic? And who better than Discord to make that happen?
Thus, a fic was born.

Well this should be interesting.
I'm kind of expecting a twist end of some sort. Like Rainbow ending up in a harem with all of her friends. Or maybe befriending and then hooking up with Discord. Ooooh...I think I like that idea.
It's not just the mane six. She gets shipped with pretty much everypony. In fact, it would probably be easiest to list the characters she hasn't been shipped with yet.
A very easy list. Here it is:
4831377
Well I can say that she has been shipped with the kitchen sink...literally.
I can't wait to see the chapter where she tries to go after Pinkie. I wonder if it will go like she expects (Pinkie may be more willing than she is comfortable with at this point...or not we shall see).
This had better be good.
Ooh, curious. (Not so) hesitantly putting this on my favourites list, ready to follow. I want to see how this plays out. Update soon if you can, please!
Just wondering... will there be parts in the story that are like the cover art?
4833451
Not specifically. I just thought it would be a good representation of Discord's meddling.
4833156
^^^^^^
Description
^^^^^^
I like this premise. It's going to be good to see where this goes.
But something tells me that the pacing of this chapter was all over the place. Rarity agreed to a date like it ain't no thing, and all of a sudden, she's giving Rainbow Dash a kiss on a cheek. I'm all for Rarity being a romantic, but I don't think even she would rush it. And I think she would have over-reacted at the end there. She would have ranted at Dash, rather than just absorb 'being used'. She would despise it, and would be sure to let Rainbow Dash know. But this is just my two cents.
On another anaylsis, I've seen this was made back in June. "Chapters will be released daily." Huh...
4833604
Well, some more stuff is going to come out later about her... she's keeping more than a few secrets.
Rarity was awfully eager here. It seems like she has either been secretly crushing on Dash for a while now, or she (and possibly the rest of the mane six) know about Discord's little game.
And I can't help but wonder if that quilt is at all symbolic.
4833669
Yeah, I think I may have gone overboard on the symbolism in this fic.
4834880
That just means that high school English teachers will love it!
4834910
Too bad none of them let me write fiction for class!
4834997
Awww man.
For the record, I do like little bits of symbolism like that.
4835165
Thank you. Makes me feel better that some people notice.
Oh, thank GOD. Finally. Pinkie Pie does not turn out to be in insto-love with whoever asks her on a date. It's a miracle.
4839249
Yes. I think Pinkie's personality is... greatly exaggerated in most other fictions.
4833604 Yeah, I think Rarity wouldn't take it well, either. ESPECIALLY after frequently being used for practice dates. That truly can irk a girl. We don't like being used as training wheels.
4839285 I don't know why writers and/or characters assume that since she's happy to be everypony's friend, she'll be thrilled to be anypony's girlfriend. That isn't how it works.
4839285
Oh, I know. But... more things are going to be revealed, which will make her actions much more believable.
So... She's probably gonna end up with widdle Twi-Twi. I personally prefer AppleDash but TwiDash is still a great pairing. Keep 'em coming, sir, keep 'em coming. Please?
4849323
Well... you'll see.
Is this a RariDash story?
man, these ponies have such radically different personalities then what i'm used to seeing portrayed. i love it! can't wait for more, and i'm a twidash lover! just throwing out my vote for the end result, if it matters.
For some reason, the chapter updates didn't show up on my favourites or feed, nor did I see the response I got. Weird...
But now that I've read the three chapters after Rarity, I can say that I'm enjoying this. There are numerous grammatical errors around the chapters, such as POV shifts out of nowhere. It stays in third person, and then for another normal sentence, it shifts to as if Rainbow Dash was the narrator. I guess they're all mistakes, because I don't see them as a 'dive-into-her-thoughts' thing. Also, the pacing issue I saw with the Rarity chapter is still present. Pinkie's chapter was great. They were acting like I would expect, and to see Pinkie actually going quiet and awkward was pretty good. And to see that she rejected Dash at the end there. Whoa.
But here's the thing. In all cases here, you've gotten Rainbow Dash to go up to the mare, and basically ask, "You and me, wanna date?" to which, they all reply with, "Yup." Simple as that. They have no trouble whatsoever. Fluttershy even says right afterwards that she's had a long-time crush on Dash. The hay? That escalated quickly. And Applejack suggests within two minutes that she'd be up for skipping the date and having sex. I can buy that she's the sort-of-but-not-a-slut-or-dirty mare in this story, but damn that was quick. Long story short, it's not in her character. And in the case of Fluttershy too, things go way too quickly, sort of like with Rarity. They're all up for kissing Rainbow Dash on the cheek within five minutes, or even further in Applejack's case. Pinkie's was probably the most believable date I could imagine. But even with her, it felt a little rushed. These mares are allowed to have feelings. They don't all have to be up for a date. I get the set-up and everything, but these mares have no problem coming out as lesbians in any instance. I'm actually suspecting that Discord may be influencing some of their minds; it's sort of something he would do, just to mess with Dash. Because some of the things these mares say and do happen ridiculously quickly.
But all personal negatives aside, again, I am enjoying this. Next up we have Twilight, and some may hate me when I say, that I don't want this to be a TwiDash. I want this to be a RariDash. After all their interactions with one another, I'm seeing more reason to bring those two together than with a sudden romance with Twilight. One of those "The one you love has been this one all along," type of scenarios. I also love your conversations between the two. Rarity gets cocky at times, and downright extensive. She's not afraid to say these things. When she openly offered sex with Dash and that just to get her to go to Applejack, that was good. Rarity is playing the cheeky character here, while Dash is the unsure one. Sort of a character swap thing, and I like it. But in the end, I want these two together. Whether or not that happens is down to you, but that's just my tastes.
Still, looking forward for the story continuation, and hopefully it should pop up in my favourites next time.

Sorry, no. It's all written up.
4854231
Wow! Thanks for the info!
I won't spoil anything, but I know how you'll be feeling in the end.
Darn. I ship FlutterDash.
Dangit, was hoping for the Appledash!
4854778 bugger. oh well, still an interesting story.
The pacing's perhaps a little too fast overall - especially in some cases. But this is turning out to be a nice RariDash, from the looks of things! Discord, you sly dog you.
I don't ship RariDash. At all. But I'm faving because I want to see what's next.
And then Rainbow Dash murdered Rarity. The bloody crime scene was discovered by Sweetie Belle the next day, though a body was never found. The same day, both Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash went missing, never to be heard from again.
It's like you took a 12 gauge semi-automatic shotgun to AppleDash's mouth and pulled the trigger eight times.
I thoroughly approve.
Awwwwww! I love this story! It isn't perfect, I've stumbled into many forgotten quotations that never ended and a few mixed up points of view, but all in all it was an enjoyable read.
4837167
.... XD JAJAJA I LOVE IT 
Sir, you are evil
I LOVE IT XD
God seriouslly is super duper hyper weird for me to like a RaryDash story... actually i can think of another story were i actually like this pair, but it doesnt matter you did it and i love it, sure not the perfect story but good nonetheless
This ending... It was brilliant. Jolly good show.
I was super impressed with this story. Unfortunately rainbow dash has a habit of being shipped with everything and anything in this fandom no matter how unlikely the pairing. That you took a less than common pairing gave it some rather we'll paced development and pulled it off without either feeling very ooc is great keep up the good work. 3/4scootaloos

As far as I know, she's never been shipped with any of the villains, or any of the less important minor antagonists, like Trixie, Flim and Flam, Suri Polomare, but all not so important characters. And villains.
Rainbow does poetry. Well, I suppose that's not too far fetched.
Fluttershy and Rarity are friends with benefits. Well. Interesting idea, but works for me, headcannon accepted.
By the second or third chapter I realized that Rainbow was going to find her love in Rarity. But that didn't make the story any less interesting of a read. The characters worked well and the while plot was cute. I never really liked the concept of Raridash but this story definitely helps lend the concept some validity. Overall a fun story with a well done relationship.
Nice job
I really liked your exposition. The way you used imagery and character analysis and comparison was really intriguing and started the story off great. The hook really catapulted me into reading on :)
Sigh fluttershy fluttershy fluttershy I did not see that coming
Thanks to the bookshelves update making me go through and reshelve everything, I noticed that this story managed to update five times without me noticing. So I'll go ahead and read those chapters just as soon as I don't have way too many things I should be doing instead of messing around on Fimfiction.
I saw Raridash coming a mile away, and I am so damned happy, since it's my Favorite ship, tied with Rarijack
It wouldn't hurt to give this another editing pass, but other than that, the ponies were mostly In Character, each chapter was interesting and varied/
Love this fic~
You sorta dropped the 3rd person out the window for a little bit there. He is feeling very insulted and would appreciate if you fixed the problem.
Hmm, an interesting read from start to finish. Impressive characterization, comedic without going overboard, cute, delightfully mischievous Discord, Rainbow being shipped with the kitchen sink... this fic had it all. Officially up voting... but can't bring myself to favorite this. While definitely a delightfully engrossing and entertaining read that I'll surely revisit time and again, it didn't end FlutterDash... forgive me, but it is my OTP for this fandom.
That being said, you have earned five out of six mustaches, so here you are
