Something is wrong between Fluttershy and Discord. He’s acting suspicious, and a heartbroken Fluttershy seeks advice and comfort from her friends. Could this be the end of their relationship? What is he hiding?

They say that the apple never falls far from the tree. As the only member of the Apple family to forsake the family's agrarian ways, however, Applejack is perhaps the lone exception to that rule. Instead of returning to Ponyville, Applejack found her calling in the bright lights of Manehattan, and has called it home ever since.

She may be an Apple by blood, but she is about as far away from the tree as she can get. And she likes it that way.

Written as a re-characterization exercise for the 'New Writers School' group. (5000 word limit)

(This is my first fiction on this platform, so any feedback would be much appreciated since English is not my first language ^^)

Applejack experiences one of the most uncomfortable meals of her life. And it's not because Big Mac is putting salt on his pancakes, surprisingly.

This is an entry for the Thousand Words Contest. Stop laughing. This is serious.

It's been a year since a tragic accident took Applejack's parents. A year, and she still doesn't know what to do with herself. Encouraged by friends and family, she decides to spend the summer vacation at Fluttershy's beach house on Splendora Island. She's not sure if it's helping.

Then, one night, she finds something injured on the beach. No, not something. Someone.

What starts as good intentions steadily grows into something else. Whether that something else is good for Applejack is another matter entirely.

After a particularly rough day of flying, Rainbow Dash crashes at Sweet Apple Acres with a dire need for preening. Applejack is more than willing to help her marefriend in whatever way she can.

Hey everyone! This is my first time writing anything substantial in the past three years, and I have to say that it feels good to be back. This was a quick little thing written for the first Preening Group Contest, partially at the insistence of a friend. There was no editor involved, and it took slightly under an hour and a half. Kind of slow to write, but I'll improve.

It's Rarity's party and she'll cry if she wants to – but not, it seems, if Applejack has any say in it. [Alternate ending to Simple Ways]
