Something Fic-Like Has Been Submitted · 4:20am Oct 1st, 2015
It's called What Did You Call Me?
It's MacDash. I normally don't like MacDash, because I seem to disagree with every MacDash author ever about Dash's personality. So I wrote my own.
It's only 1500 words, because I don't care that much. (Actually, neither do most of you, probably. Except for Jake the Army Guy, who cares too much. So you should read it anyway, it's only 1500 words.)
It's also the best take on an old fandom trope ever. But that's because the trope was stupid to begin with.
So, yeah, this is a thing I did with my evening.

Brevity is the soul of wit. The shorter the fic, the more wit and soul put into it, obviously. So don't deflect, I know this means a lot to you and I'll be there to shitpost in the comments section for you, Broseidon.
Wait, this isn't SunDash.
...
Ah whatever, I'll read it anyway because any Mac ship is usually comfy as hell.

Normally anything less than three or four thousand words is an automatic pass for me, as I prefer fics with a little more time to tell a story. But... well, that's honestly kind of dumb, MacDash is a ship I've hardly ever (maybe even never?) read, and I want to see what the trope is. So I'll give it a shot.
That general sentiment, particularly the last sentence, is where a lot of my stories come from
You know, one of my favorite scenes in "Brotherhooves Social" is one that nobody's talked about yet (so far as i know).
It's where Rainbow Dash tries to flip shit at Mac about him not really being Applebloom's sister.
And Mac doesn't get flustered, and he doesn't get defensive, he just flips that shit right back.
Which is awesome, but what's even better is how Rainbow Dash reacts: she doesn't get flustered, and she doesn't get defensive, she just plays it off real smooth and walks away cool--but she gives him a little lawyerly grin of admiration as she does.
She challenged him, he bested her at her own game and--she likes him the better for it. I think that's an important illumination of her character.
