    Applejack recounts the events surrounding her cousin's death to an interested stranger over a bottle of hard cider.

    A short tale of unspoken retribution, wild-west style.

    Beautiful. That Red Rule really made the story xD And that was sad too. Honestly sad and beautiful, but so canon it hurts.

    Did Granny Smith join in with a plinker, or was it a wheelchair-mounted minigun?

    Seriously, though, great story. Few Appleoosa stories capture the Old West romanticism this well.

    I really hope that Braeburn received a decent burial and that that scumbag didn't do anything to his body :twilightangry2:

    'The Red Rule.' Hmmm.

    I has a headcanon. :twilightsmile:

    ...well. Lesson learned. You fuck with an Apple, you run. You never stop. You just run and hope to whatever gods you believe in that it never takes through a town with an Apple.

    *clicks The Red Rule in to headcanon*

    Oh my god. The last line.

    That made the entire story...god. I can't even.

    "Don't fuck with the Apple family." Just...oh my god.

    Amazing.

    I've read quite a few good fics, and Applejack isn't my favorite pony, but..

    This is my favorite fic now. Of all time.

    Can't say I agree with it, honestly.

    But that's just me. Good thing she didn't tell me; I probably wouldn't let it go...

    Okay with a title like that I was kind of expecting a reference to Assass of Jesse James; but got none. I'm saying that cuz its one of my favorite movies and I see it as a seriously missed opportunity..

    But its an awesome fic nonetheless.

    I love the mental image of Applejack shooting a guys ear off with Big Macintosh blowing off his shins Red Dead Redemption style.

    Ill tell ya, I'm gonna sleeep easy tonight

    And the Red Rule should always be remembered.

    The title itself was the reference, I didn't want to pollute the story with anything too overt. It was just a quick nod in that direction before I began my own western-themed story.

    Regardless, glad you liked it :)

    Gah, once again I'm amazed at how vibrant the character interaction is.  The atmosphere set by the characters mannerisms and the way its intertwined with the dialogue creates the setting better than the use of long winded detailed descriptions. You dont have to paint the scenery because the atmosphere you create invokes the readers imagination to do it automatically.  I have scene it done before, but never this sophisticated.  *Squee* YAY!! I learned something, onto the next one. XD
