Thank you for sharing.

Nice, been awhile since I've seen a space opera/western
great title drop!
loved how much is said here in so little
augh, loved this bit! the detail with the sewn sequin was a great touch, and i could just feel the warmth and coziness of their love against the cold of their circumstances
can't have a space western setting without a hover-barrow!
it's definitely the RariJack that made this line work for me
loved this reversal of their catchphrases, very touching
beautiful way to end the scene, i felt chills too
this was a great transplantation of RariJack to a space western AU, with their chemistry just pitch-perfect and beautiful. i really felt, and loved, their love! not just for each other, but for the little family that they've put together through their past tragedies. and the little details, like Rarity wearing her best dress because it didn't fit in the suitcase, the way Applejack's mechanical arm affected how she interacted with the environment and people around her, really brought the themes of the story together. thank you for it!
