You should go into writing about lesbian shipping. You've already got the dynamic part down.

7831019 Thanks, but I'm not into the ship...though I can see why people like it so much. It holds water.

Interesting! I love how it came out.

At first I thought it was a AppleDash romance story where one of them was a Tsundere or something. Still gonna read it! :ajsmug::rainbowdetermined2:

That was sweet! In a tough, yeah I'm alright kind of way.

Dawww!

7831019 Not everyone wants to write shipping. Not everyone who does write shipping wants to write lesbian shipping. Let people write what they want to write. :twilightsmile:

Being a ship and holding water are generally opposite concepts.

I actually liked that this story wasn't outright romance. These two were actually quite in-character to my eye. You made it seem like they're hiding so much more for each other that they haven't shared and probably won't -- at least, not for a while -- and there was plenty of emotion to be found in there. The fact that the... "romance" was all there but not overt was a breath of fresh air. They didn't need to suck each others' faces off or pull the cliche, "I've always sorta liked you," "Really?" trope. You could just feel the subtext in their words and actions, and that left far more of an impact on me.

I've been waiting for a long time for an AppleDash story just like this one, and I'm glad you shared it. So, thank you for doing so. :twilightsmile:

Was this an AppleDash fic? Cause im getting the secret-crush-between-two-ponies-that-nopony-realizes vibe here xD

That was very sweet, proof they are good together without a full on ship.

7832392 I'm glad you enjoyed it :twilightsmile::heart:
7832463 Nope!

Love this. My best friend and I have this kind of relationship-we've been friends for over twenty years and we're honestly more like sisters than friends (I'm an only child, and there's a ten year gap between her and her closest sibling). We don't get mushy, but while my husband is my soul mate, she's my person. She's also the one I'd call to bring whiskey, a tarp and a shovel if needed :twilightsmile:

:ajsmug: "Tell the world that you love me, brah."
:rainbowkiss: "I love you, brah."
:applejackunsure: "Why'd you whisper, brah?"
:rainbowdetermined2: "YOU are my world, brah."
:applejackconfused:

i'll admit, i thought it was indeed a lesbian shipping fic...glad i was wrong XD cool story brah

This is exactly how I think they'd express their sentiments for each other.

An engaging exchange between two of the more 'rough and tumble' ponies. Nicely written. Thanks for sharing. :twilightsmile:

Quite well characterized for the both of them. There's a lot that gets said without being said. I have this relationship with a number of my closest friends. It's always refreshing to see such a tight friendship portrayed so well.

Even the little aside where it's noted why it's easier to talk to the others said a lot with few words. I particularly liked the mention that Twilight always seems to see through whatever airs are put on; that's been something that she's been good at since season 1, but people seldom comment on it (at least that I've seen).

That was really sweet. I’m not a fan of romantic AppleDash, but I definitely friendship it. And this story really does capture their friendship.:heart:
