Glad to see.you're posting again. Though I cant blame you...lots going on in these chapters. I have to say I was a twinge curious about what Fluttershy and Big Mac were up to at the party this chapter did not disappoint.
But seriously, great chapter. I'm glad you're back. But I totally understand if life keeps you busy. I'll wait however long is required for the next update.
Man, I've been waiting for this chapter for a long time. And it was worth the wait.
When I saw the word count, I thought "Oh man there's probably gonna be a threesome with Pinkie Pie.". Granted Pinkie showed up, didn't think she'd be Twi's roommate. I really like where your taking Twi's and Dash's relationship, because it's where these kind of relationships would go. Twilight can't trust Dash, and Dash feels bad about it but her attitude won't let her just have a real relationship. I actually want to see more of the girls interact with each other, and not just have the chapters as set ups for sex. But I can only wish for so much.
I'll be honest, I can't stand Rarijack. It's the same thing with Octavia/Vinyl shippings, they play too much on the opposites attract angle. And it's honestly boring. But with your stories, they try and allow the characters to have some kind of an emotional connection before they get busy, and I like that, even if it does go with the cliche. I just wish it had something different, because coming off of that last chapter, which blew me out of the water with the Fluttermac, and going through with the sort of standard Rarijack is kind of a letdown.
But its a good chapter with great stuff from Rainbow Dash, thanks for the PinkiexDash tease before Twilight bumped in. I honestly would have called this a great chapter if Rarity and Applejack didn't have sex. If it was like the scene in RR when Twilight and Applejack made up where you just teased the hell out of it, but never went for it. Like if they admitted they were into girls and might like each other but they admit a relationship wouldn't work for too long and decided to stay friends, I would have liked that more.
Nevertheless, wonderful chapter. I can't wait for the next one.
Sleepless, I understand the need to take your time with these things and make sure they're absolutely perfect... but DAMMIT you need to drop us a line or something.
I really wish this chapter had more about Dash and Twilight. I know you want to make the world more full by showing whats going on with the others, but its feeling like the story is stepping away form Dash and Twi.
I love how you played off Pinkie, it was funny, hot, and down right believable. good work. and Welcome back
I think it was one of your blog posts quite a while ago, where you talked about Pinkie being Twilight's roommate and Rarity being a part-time student. I was waiting ever since for those two to show up and I'm quite happy they finally did
I guess Twilight and Rainbow breaking up was inevitable (there is, after all, Professor Celestia to go after for our favorite egghead ). It happened in a believable way. Twilight wants something that Rainbow can't give her (great insight on her this chapter). I wonder if we see RD mature a little as this story moves forward, and if she's going to end up with someone. Because AJ seems out of reach for now. And hope we return to Twilight's POV soon, I want to know what she's going through now (but I'd be happy with just more of this story anyways ).
The Rarijack part was great. Somebody else said the "opposites attract" trope is getting old. This maybe true, but I think you pulled it of really well with them being stubborn, tangled up in misunderstandings and unable to communicate clearly. And the sex scene was pretty hot.
I have to congratulate you again on your talent. You took a short scene that started out as PWP for fun and turned into a story with plenty of nice details and characterization so that people care about it.
I'll be patiently waiting for your next work (regardless which story it is for), NTL
I don't understand the 'opposites attract is getting old' protest of Rarijack. They're not opposites, their core values (pride in their skills, hard work and family) are pretty much the same. It's just that their surface personalities clash and it takes them time to get past miscommunication. In the show, they got over it in one episode, and for the rest of the show they were the best of friends and took each others quirks in stride.
On topic, I realise now I never commented on this final draft. I meant to tell you that interrupting the sexytimes to fall off the couch was perhaps the best end to the scene I could have envisioned. It was super cute and hilarious. Looking forward to working with you on more~
Glad to see this is back, and now that TwiDash has crashed and burned, who shall be the lucky person to court Twilight now I wonder? Also those scenes with Rarity and Applejack were quite excellent, and I really did like just how similar to of them are. Both stubborn as mules, but also both hardworking and genuine people.
2939064 I think the problem is many don't really see beyond the surface personalities at first. Most good Rarijack fics will sooner or later look at their similarites and their core values. But the first simple look makes Rarity and AJ a perfect fit for 'opposites attract', just as Twilight and RD do, or Fluttershy and RD, or Pinkie and anypony.
So I understand, when people see a Rarity/Applejack shipping and their first instinct is to file it under 'opposites attract'. Readers can be that simple
My God. I knew there was a reason I was writing my own fanfiction, and you've just re-inspired me. Thank you, both for the wonderful writing and reigniting my flame.
Also, I agree with Varanus re couch-fall. Definite win. You can only have so much sex in a story before it gets... silly and interrupting it with genuine silliness provides nice release of tension. Heh. 'Release of tension.' Heh.
Great update, I particularly liked the focus on AJ and Rarity. The parts where AJ is struggling to get her words out particularly the scene where she talks about Rarity lowering herself is some of the best character interaction that I have read recently.
The scene talking about celebrity crushes was funny and cute, and a nice little bit of world building. A world that has both Fleur de Lis and Hypatia of Alexander is an interesting world. (By the way thanks to you I now know who Hypatia is, thanks for the education).
Poor Rainbow getting hammered alone at a party is exactly the worst way to deal with getting dumped. Hopefully Pinkie finds her and drags her off somewhere to sober up.
“What, like you're any better?” Applejack says, smirking as that mean, delicious thrill of winning fills her thoughts. “You make me come hang out with you, and what do we do? Hours gettin’ ourselves gussied up –”
I had to stop right before the RariJack awesomeness due to sleep, but I absolutely love this If it takes you another year to update the next chapter, I will be completely sadfaced... I wanna know what happens to my beloved TwiDash I didn't even used to LIKE TwiDash, but... this...

WOOO~! New chapter!
My virgin sacrifices have worked!
No way, I really didn't expect this to update again. I'll have to read this soon.
IT'S ALIVE!
IT'S ALLLLLLIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIVVVVVVVVVVVEEE!
New chapter? New chapter. New chapter! Woooooooooo!
Well, this was 18k words I did not expect to read tonight. Pretty awesome, though.
I'll look forward to reading your next 30,000 word installment in about fourteen months time.
Glad to see.you're posting again. Though I cant blame you...lots going on in these chapters. I have to say I was a twinge curious about what Fluttershy and Big Mac were up to at the party this chapter did not disappoint.
Holy shit... This was the story that brought me to FiMfic... And it lives on?!? I couldn't be happier...
i was wonderin' where y'all had gone off to! awesome chapter! when's the next one due?
Huh, I thought this was dead. Still great AJ x Rarity! Hooray!
Twilight deserves better than Dash though. Does kinda leave Pinkie out of the mix with no one hug.
But what about Twilight and Rainbow!?
*thundercrack*
IT'S ALIIIIIVE!!!
Is there a link to more of this Megasweet individuals artwork.
2936984 YES! RISE!
But seriously, great chapter. I'm glad you're back. But I totally understand if life keeps you busy. I'll wait however long is required for the next update.
summoning jutsu!! edo tensei impure resurrection! *revived this fic*.
! I thought this was gone forever!
AWESOME!
*blech* I usually hate Rarity x Applejack shipping. But I'll make an exception with this one 'cause this was actually somewhat enjoyable.
Huzzah, you're not dead Sleepless, it's good to see you back in style.
Man, I've been waiting for this chapter for a long time. And it was worth the wait.

You give me feels and a boner with that Rarijack ship
Sleepless, I understand the need to take your time with these things and make sure they're absolutely perfect... but DAMMIT you need to drop us a line or something.

Hopefully Pinkie will find somebody though currently all my typical favorites are either taken or angry...
Woo, bookworm crushes... Though you would need time travel Twi' dear, to get there before those zealots.
Also: It Lives!

Oh, wow, I missed this story so much...
I gave the thousandth like!
Glad to see this is back, and now that TwiDash has crashed and burned, who shall be the lucky person to court Twilight now I wonder?

Phew! Now at least 1/3 of the OTPs are here and Dash is free for hers... But when will Luna show up to 'comfort' Twi? Inquiring Readers Want To Know!
Also, I agree with Varanus re couch-fall. Definite win. You can only have so much sex in a story before it gets... silly and interrupting it with genuine silliness provides nice release of tension. Heh. 'Release of tension.' Heh.
yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes *jumping around my laptop*
inb4 it takes nearly a year again for an update.
Bueno. Am I wrong for wanting more Pinkie?
My erection rises, and it's not just because of the sex in the story
Great update, I particularly liked the focus on AJ and Rarity. The parts where AJ is struggling to get her words out particularly the scene where she talks about Rarity lowering herself is some of the best character interaction that I have read recently.

2942887 I agree with this fellow here, this is a great story and I hope you keep it this way.
It's glorius but i want more.
Wow...why did I put off reading this again?
I love the way you write Rarity, she's fantastically brilliant and nimble. Quick to think and act and create all in one smooth motion.
YESSSSS finally an update for this story! :D
Thanks!!
Please don't wait another year before updating this again? Pleeeeease?
Because it's seriously incredible.
I had to stop right before the RariJack awesomeness due to sleep, but I absolutely love this If it takes you another year to update the next chapter, I will be completely sadfaced... I wanna know what happens to my beloved TwiDash I didn't even used to LIKE TwiDash, but... this...
