Equestria. Ruled by the High Solar Council of Celestia, is not as it once was. Outside its boundaries, it is known as a peaceful land of equality and acceptance. But inside, however, the inhabitants are under strict laws that, if broken, are punishable by death.
Those laws include, but are not limited to, inter-racial relationships. No pegasus shall mate with an earth pony or unicorn, nor shall an earth pony mare with a pegasus or unicorn, and the same goes for unicorns about pegasi or earth ponies.
Secondly, there shall be no tolerance for same-sex relationships.
Those are strictly enforced, but not as frowned upon as the third and final law: there shall never be a combination of the previous two. If any is discovered, it will result in the immediate execution of both ponies accused.
Rainbow Dash has had to live with these laws for most of her life. She kept her lifestyle a secret, until she met the mare that would change her life forever... and put her in more danger than she had ever been in before.
[A/N: Well well well, another collab. This should be fun, eh? This is supposed to be a very dark story, but it will still keep to the AppleDash as the main focus of it. Hope y'all enjoy!]
