Dash wants to help Rarity live out her romantic fantasy. But since Dash hasn't got a romantic bone in her body, she figures she'd better call in some experts...
This was going to be my entry in the 183rd Writeoff contest, "Gone by Morning," but I barely got a handful of paragraphs written by the deadline. So when the 207th contest, "Counterfeit," came along eight months later, I got my act together and finished the story. I'm rating it "Teen" due to assorted discussions of sexuality and such.

Enjoyable
That's a novel take on Rarity; great stuff.
I've gotta say, Dash was remarkably restrained after Trixie decided to swallow all four hooves, but the story's sweet all the same.
Rainbow seems more like Rarity than she wants to admit there.
Very enjoyable!
And come on, Starlight, you three aren't fooling anyone.

Thanks, folks!
The hidden connection between Dash and Rarity is always a good source of story ideas...

Raridash is an EXPERT level ship, and sure enough you've done it expertly here. I love the ambiguity at the end. it could mean a few things, but it definitely means things are better.
Okay, I love the ending, as Rarity reveals she knew, but just as one little line to let us fill in the blanks ourselves. My guess is that she found it quite convenient that her secret admirer came after she told her fantasies to Rainbow, and being a sharp mare put two and two together.
Quite a fun little story.~
Hello! A very belated favourite from my review early last year. It's all just so solid, with so many lovely little world-building touches. All the parts go together to create a really well functioning whole.

Dang I love how Dash is written here, I might be mistaken but the word loyalty doesn't show up even once yet Rainbow manages to practically radiate it with almost every scene, honestly I wish the show could have written her this well. She takes charge, responsibility, and really embodies what her life lessons have taught her up to this point.
On top of that this story gets into the literary MEAT of what is important and flows so well despite the limitation of being one chapter. I wish there was something to actually critique, but I'm at a complete I I II I_.

Thanks!
That's the thing that keeps me writing fanfiction around here all these years after the show's gone off the air: there's so much material to work with when it comes to the characters and their relationships to their world and to each other. Can't beat it!
