Trapped inside by a freak snowstorm, Applejack discovers a link to her parents hidden at the bottom of a buried chest. Driven by the desire to connect with her mom, her life becomes dominated by the urge to keep digging. Will Rainbow Dash be able to snap her out of it before she digs herself in too deep?

My contribution to the proud and storied lineage of ponyfics where Applejack digs a hole. Also for the Appledash Warm and Fuzzy Feelings contest!

Rainbow helplessly falls in love - again. It's not her fault she's a sucker for southern charm. Will AJ fit into the group? Will she find Rainbow's old secrets?

Some are better left alone.

There is a problem, and it is staring me right in the face. I want to solve it, make a change for the better for once in my life. Do something good.

There happens to be a gun between us.

Contains: Strong language, badass Dash, badass AJ.
Written for the AppleDash Contest; Second Chances

Competition. It drives us all one way or another. Whether it’s to be the fastest flier, the best team, the greatest magician, to steal a land in jealous fury, or simply to beat that other pony to the stall for the last carrot; competition is in all of us.

Some claim that a competitive nature is healthy, and keeps a pony sharp and fit. Others claim it drives ponies apart and should be avoided as much as possible.

Rainbow Dash and Applejack don’t care about any of that. They just don’t want the other to win. Theirs is an unending game of friendly one-upmanship, a constant striving to prove their superiority to one another for no other reason than they can.

Neither of them thought it would ever bring about romance in their lives.

Thanks to my friend, Radoh from the Escapist, for making some small, but very good, points.

My entry to AppleDash competition #3: Competition!
We all compete in something, but it's not the competing it self that is important, it's the reasons we compete. Rainbow Dash was going to Canterlot to watch Applejack compete in the Canterlot rodeo, and then enjoy as peaceful 1 year anniversary dinner with her mare-friend. But as you might guess, things didn't turn out the way they were supposed to, and instead, Rainbow Dash ended up learning a valuable lesson about competing and the things we compete for....

This story was originally based on this promt by Bookplayer:

Another already together story-- AJ goes back to the Canterlot rodeo, and does much better this time. Dash is there, and thinks that AJ should focus less on the farm because it's obvious that AJ could be a world champion rodeo pony if she focused on it. The conflict comes from the differences in how they see competition and how important it is to them.

But I don't really know how much of it that made it in the end.....
Thanks to my friend Follow Focus for prereading this and wasting so much of his precious free time to read my stories! :P

Applejack's life is coming to an end. On the other side, she receives a visit from the pale pony who is eager to know, before she goes —

What does it mean to be Applejack?

An entry.

Thank you Mikesnipe, Alex_, RK Striker and Octy

There is probably only one person who will understand this story. Others will, or might, relate to it but I am dedicating this story to someone I won't be able to see for a while. Hopefully you all will like it. And hopefully she does too.

Quick AppleDash story.

Applejack and Rainbow Dash have been marefriends for a year now and they couldn't be happier. So why does Applejack seem worried one evening after the two have shared a wonderful picnic?

Written for the 2013 AppleDash contest.

When Applejack reveals to Fluttershy that she plans to ask Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy's old marefriend from years past, out on a date, Fluttershy gets jealous and seeks to keep the blue pegasus for herself. Will love conquer all in the end? Will friendships be strengthened? Will they be broken?

Warning, this literary work contains Appledash. If you are not here for the Applejack x Rainbow Dash flash fanfiction even, leave now while you still have the chance! This is my first fic, therefor it is probably really bad. The story is most definately worse than the description. I have almost no experience in creative writing to begin with and writing isn't even my passion. Close your browser window, turn off your computer, bash it with a hammer until it is a steaming pile of slag, bury the contents in a forty foot deep hole and move out of the country!

Unless, of course, you came for Appledash in which case may Princess Celestia have mercy on thee. M̴̱ͅụ̴͓a̴̳̫ ̶̤͔h̴̭̗a̵̗͚ ̶̠̣h̶̪̰a̶̻̫ ̷͚̘h̴̥̩a̸̯̜ ̸͍̥h̷̬̲a̸̪͍ ̵͎͇h̸̹̠a̴̡̤!̸̢̲

But seriously, feel free to let me know what you think in the comments.

There's always a silver lining in the dark gloomy sky. All you need to do is find it.

Applejack has been through a lot in the past ten years. Her entire world has been crumbling before her eyes and there isn't a thing she can do about it. There's no way to stop the passage of time and time can be very cruel. Hopefully she will find the rainbow that comes after the storm.

I spent next to no time on this and really want to fix it up nice. Read it if you must but I promise in a couple weeks it will be much better.
