True Colours

Danger was second nature to them. Between Dash's acrobatics and Applejack's stampede management, there wasn't a single day without a crisis.
But it was there that they showed themselves, in that out of focus adrenaline haze with the twin salt tangs of fear and sweat hanging in the air. There they stood together, because alone they would fall; there, petty rivalry condensed into absolute trust. There, they were broken; there, they were made.
In danger, they were closer than friends, than lovers. When it passed, they would part.
But each looked forward grudgingly, to the next day when crisis called.
