Winner of the Holiday Contest!

Now, this story deserved the Grand Prize. Everything good that could be in a story, is in this story. There’s hurt, there’s comfort, there’s awwww-moments, there’s ouch,ouch,ouch-moments, an ending that will leave you in tears for a good hour… And the unexpected little twists that, as a Rainbow fan, I absolutely loved. A fall? Addiction? Her fears of another; her fears of somepony else following in her hoofsteps? Beautiful.

This story is a sequel to Partner

Longdesc

Rarity has always dreamed of three things. Being at the top of the fashion game, having a full social calendar in great demand, and catching the eye of a royal. She now has all of these things, in the best way. She’s the special somepony of the most royal royal of all. Her longtime friend and Sovereign of Equestria, Princess Twilight Sparkle.

So she's happy, right?

It’s so much better than what she would have had with Applejack all those years ago.

Right?

Tags

• Sex: Rarity’s recollections just got a little too spicy for me to not want to play it safe, but it’s pretty close to not needing the warning.
• There are some Unhealthy Relationship Dynamics

Continuity

A companion piece to Partner, which expands on the past of the AppleDash relationship mentioned here, though that relationship is much healthier.

Author’s Note

Interesting that Twilight Sparkle and Rarity are the only unpaired members of the Mane Six at the end of the show.

Right?

Also in my Equestria there is a magic-based way for mare-mare couples to have biological children. The mechanism isn’t important, and it’s not commented upon because it’s very normalized. Just so you know, in case such things confuse you.

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!

Rarity has a problem with the way Spike snuggles with her at night. Instead of holding her in his arms like she wants, he simply lays on top of her, smothering her every night. She hates to do it, but she waits until he falls asleep and then pulls herself out from under him, curling up into a small ball in what space is left on the bed. She knows things have to change, but after she brings up the subject, she fears that she may have just done more damage than good.
