Applejack thrives on being busy. People need her, and she cannot afford to fall apart. Her feelings are not the priority—she doesn't want them to be.

But when an old love comes calling, Applejack finds herself on the precipice of finally saying what she's always wanted to say...

And hearing what she never wanted to hear.

A single day in AJ's life, and a one-shot spin-off of What They Expect to Give, my mature AU EqG romance drama. Takes place a few months before. You don't need to read the other story to read this, but it does make the context clearer.

Communication is key in any relationship; But what if it’s one that hasn’t even started? Applejack and Rarity have been friends since childhood. As they grew, so did their feelings. Will they be able to overcome their misunderstandings, or is this the end of their friendship altogether?

My First story that I have been working on for a long time. Thought I should publish. Enjoy!

Applejack and Fluttershy start dating and at first their relationship is growing very well. They help one another and provide strength to one another. Fluttershy's past however, will not stay in the past, and in an attempt to save a dear friend, the mane six are forced to make decisions that they normally would not make.

Here is a great reading of a scene from Him Part 6: [Link]

This is a very long series with thirteen chapters so far and quite a more to come. I look forward to hearing what you think.

Applejack tells Fluttershy about the great oak tree atop a hill on the farm. It was the first one she ever planted, y'see. That doesn't have anything to do with why Granny Smith is in the hospital, and why Applejack isn't there.

Nope. Not at all.

Written as an entry for Kits' Unusual Pairings Shipfic Contest Extraordinaire Extravaganza LLC. After Granny Smith suddenly passes away, Applejack is crushed by remorse and guilt. Her grief-ridden wanderings land her at Fluttershy's cottage, where she struggles to come to terms with her loss, and to learn a valuable lesson, not just about friendship, but life in general. If anyone enjoys this besides me and is interested in crafting some cover art I'd be much obliged, as I can't seem to come up with a good premise for an easy photoshop cover.
