Applejack wakes up early, but she doesn’t regret it.

Written for the ApplePie Contest.

After Granny Smith's funeral, life starts to pile up on Applejack. When she finally realises her relationship with Rainbow Dash isn't as strong as she thought, Pinkie Pie steps in as Ponyville's resident love doctor. But can she treat these two patients when their infectious love has spread to her?

When she realises too late that she's more invested than just a third-party observer, can she still trust herself to do what's right, or will she take this carriage by the reigns and ride it 'till the rooter calls for morning?

It's never good to have a date go wrong. It's even worse when it's the fourth in a row, and Sunset Shimmer can't help but feel down about her romantic prospects at this point. When she accepts an offer from Applejack and Pinkie Pie to go on an ice cream outing with them, she can't help but wonder how the happy couple has made things work so well between them. But when she asks, they're more than willing to share some of the details.

Runner-up in Bicyclette's ApplePie contest! Sex tag refers to past-tense references to a sexual encounter.

Thanks to Krack-Fic Kai, RDT, The Sleepless Beholder and Tipper for pre-reading!

This was written for Bicyclette’s Applepie contest!! I used a prompt generator to come up with an idea and got ‘space au + chill // bonus: mutual pining’
Applepie is one of my all time favourite ships and it’s so underrated!! I’m glad its getting more attention haha.
Slight content warning for unhealthy eating habits.

Applejack feels lonely and homesick on a spaceship far from home. Pinkie Pie, a pony who sits with her at lunch, is determined to change this.

Pinkie's parents are missing, presumed dead.

Applejack is there to pick up the pieces.

Please heed the content warnings! This is a story very explicitly about grief, loss, and depression. Suicide is also an important recurring theme, and cannot be avoided!

For Bike's Applepie contest (folder | info)!! I love this ship and it's so so so rare, so I'm super happy to be contributing!

Pinkie Pie and Applejack experience an ancient, scandalous royal tradition.

Spoilers: ApplePie, Spicy Tuna, maybe whatever you call AppleJack x Pinkie Pie x Princess Celestia, Spike gets treated properly like a kid for once instead of a tiny servant or a trained talking dog.

Applejack believes her 25th birthday party will be just like any other birthday party. She ends up being wrong in the sweetest way possible.
