Applejack finally gets time to herself while her family’s gone on a trip. However, instead of taking the time to relax on her own, she decides to invite Twilight over. After a long time of not seeing each other, they both regret not having spent more time together in the past, and do their best to remedy that.

Days before Hearth's Warming, Applejack discovers that the most important tree in the orchard has been struck by mistletoe. Just another problem to add to this holiday, really. She's already been more ornery than usual this Hearth's Warming, so what's one more problem to add to the list?

Twilight's not sure why she's so upset, but she'd like to help her not be.

In a world without that first fateful Rainboom, Twilight Sparkle is still a blankflank. She spends her youth in a "dumping ground" public school for other ponies deemed unimportant, uninteresting, and without futures by general society.

A chance encounter with the guidance counselor, however, leads Twilight to follow her instincts and travel to Manehattan, where a mysteriously familiar pony now owns a bakery...

Big changes are on the horizon for the both of them.

Like this fic? Here's some jams you may also enjoy (aka, my writing playlist for this fic)

Starlight Glimmer has gone back in time. Each time Twilight tries to stop Starlight, she fails and is flung back through the portal and into a broken, twisted Equestria, ravaged by wars or monsters, each version worse than the one before, barreling toward the destruction of the world. Until she lands in a version of Equestria that ... isn't worse. It seems unchanged, happy, normal. The only real difference she can find on the cutie map is that her castle isn't there ...

... but the library still is.

It took Twilight a long time to build up the courage to ask Applejack out, but she finally did it. What she hadn't prepared for was the two of them triggering an Attunement, an incredibly rare magical reaction that unicorn fillies call 'True Love's Kiss.'

And the date was going so well, too.

(Takes place in late season 7, after Once Upon a Zeppelin but before Shadow Play)

A friend notices Applejack acting odd and calls her out on it. With that prodding, our honest earth pony manages to cough up the truth to Twilight and is shocked when she is eager to try out being more than friends. Knowing they cannot put telling the others that are important to them, Applejack and Twilight are quick to make the rounds and things mostly go smoothly. In the end, things look bright for everyone.

Applejack needs Twilight's help removing an infestation from her orchards.

Since they first met, Applejack has always been attracted to Twilight Sparkle. However, when she finally confesses her feelings to her, Twilight is less than happy to accept them. But soon, a heroing incident will change her mind and both of their lives forever.

(there's comedy too!)

Twilight and Applejack make a confession, hoping they will be accepted by their friends. Rainbow Dash horrifies them all by reacting not only with shock but hatred against the "unnatural acts"

Twilight suspects there's more to Rainbow's attitude than meets the eye.

Love is a marvelous thing. It could be stronger than steel and eternal like the time itself. Sometimes, love makes a pony to take the most painful and difficult path for the good of her love. A pony like Applejack.

She loves Twilight more than anything. But, when she realizes something that make her fears for the alicorn's future, she does what she thinks that is right regardless of her own feelings: Leaving Twi to protect her.

However, not only the feelings between the two mares are very strong, but also there are some friends that believe in their love and they will do something to bring back the two together.
