The Pies are actually very sweet ponies once you get to know them, and Limestone Pie is no exception. Unfortunately, the Apples didn't have a chance to really get to know Limestone. So as the early Hearth's Warming party winds down, she decides to rectify that by showing Applejack her less-abrasive side.

My mini-epilogue to the episode Hearthbreakers.

The time has come for the funeral of Twilight Sparkle.

Princess Cadance is grateful she doesn't have to attend alone.

Featured from June 15th to June 17th, peaking at #1. Thanks, everypony!

So here I am, minding my own business, wanting to see what this realm has to offer, and I almost get eviscerated by a pissed off alicorn for no reason. Well, I guess I can think of one: I’m a demon from Tartarus. But why am I hated if she doesn’t even know me?

6/14/21: Full disclosure, I did not expect this to get featured. Thanks guys!

The thing is, sometimes in life there are things you have to do that are hard. Like, way hard. Harder than they should be. Harder than bucking storm clouds someone overfilled with lightning seeds. Harder than pulling off a sonic rainboom in front of a cloud of ponies who don’t believe you can do it. Harder than … other hard things. That are hard to do. Yeah.

Shut up.

Like you've ever tried to confess your feelings for a stupid apple-bucking farmpony.

Rainbow Dash narrates her own life. Because you just know she would do that.

This story is a sequel to Professional Fitting

Rarity has a plan.

She can't quite bring herself to say what it is-- she's nervous, perhaps even a little scared. Saying it would make it very real, and she can't quite handle it being so real just yet.

Whether or not she says it, though, one thing is for sure: Twilight will find a way to screw it all up.

An entry in the Quills and Sofas Expanded Universe contest. This fanfiction was written and posted with permission as an expansion of AFanaticRabbit's fic Professional Fitting. It is absolutely required reading! Don't try to read this fic without it!

Normally, I try to link everyone who read and commented during the contest, but that was a whopping 22 people this time around! Instead, I'll just send out a heartfelt thank you to all the folks at Q&S, with a special shoutout to Seer for organizing this behemoth of an event. Check out the other entries here!

Rainbow Dash has to spend Hearthswarming injured and full of self doubt, while Applejack is there to lend her some help, and a warm mug of cider to comfort her.

Thanks to Nailah for her lovely audio reading!

Rarity is not exactly known for being particularly athletic, but it really depends on the kind of sport and exercise. Fencing is kind of like sewing, right? She definitely enjoys it, and is just as skilled with a sword as she is with a needle, but she finds a new, challenging opponent to spar with.

Twilight is struggling to adjust to her new duties as the Princess of Friendship, being saddled with mounds of work in an unfamiliar new home. Rarity arrives on routine business at what is perhaps a bad time.

Written for the Quills and Sofas Speedwriting Passion for Fashion contest with the prompt, Faux pas.

Thanks to heLegendaryBillCipher for the audio reading!

It’s true. Sometimes a tear’ll slip out… it’s bound to happen, sometimes… but for the most part, I cry on the inside.

But right now, as I watch my friends weeping in a huddle together... I'm not crying.

Not even on the inside.

Based on the episode, Tanks for the Memories.

Rarity and Applejack have been seeing each other for a while. They have had their ups and downs but have managed to stick together and are able to enjoy the little things like picnics and yard work. And through it all, there is one question asked again and again and again.
