Applejack teaches her little sister an age-old family craft: how to knock an annoying and sleeping pegasus out of your apple tree.

This is a gift for a good friend of mine, Nobody47.

Howdy there.

Name's Applejack, and I like to consider myself a simple mare. I had a job on a rock farm, and before that, I was a simple dress-maker. I ain't bein' humble, but those days, nothin' too out of the ordinary really happened to me.

Then I met Earth Pony. She came out of the blue, but she was the sort of pony who could drag you along on anythin'. Lucky for me, I wanted to go, least at first. After that... well, I'll let you read those parts.

This story was written as a commission for someone who wishes to remain anonymous. He or she also provided the cover art, so credit goes goes to the anonymous commissioner of this story.

Fluttershy's kindness to all creatures is legendary in Ponyville. When a freak storm blows in from the Everfree Forest, however, she and her friends discover the limits of compassion, and the dangers of living with your heart wide open to the world.

There comes a time where we all must let go. But never will we forget.

Every night, in a little stable just outside of town, an old mare lays down to sleep. And every night she has the same dream of rainbows and open sky...

This story is a sequel to The Irony of Applejack

The secret's finally out. All of Equestria knows about Applejack's true identity, and the identities of her fellow changelings.
But even with all of the new responsibilities being laid upon the young changeling, surely asking for one day of normalcy – a single day of celebration and pageantry amongst her closest friends – couldn't be too much to ask for, right?
Right?

Written because my Muse is a fickle one, she is.
Set between the events of The Irony of Applejack and it's sequel, The Advent of Applejack.

Finally. Not that she'd ever admit to having been concerned -- certainly not as long as the cameras are around -- and of course every last one of the nominees was worthy, but... after all these years, the Toy Hall Of Fame has finally opened its doors to ponies and Twilight Sparkle, head and horn held high, is going to trot right in --

-- wait a minute.
Let's... take a look at that induction picture again.
...
...Applejack...!?!

WORDS WILL BE HAD.

The base idea for this story (of a Twilight/AJ talk on the subject) came from Steel Quill, who didn't wish to use it and granted me permission. Credit is given accordingly.

Fluttershy, one of the most shy and kind ponies in all of Ponyville, is returning home from the spa as she passes through the marketplace. Applejack, known for her honest and hard-working demeanor, is out selling apples for the day. Neither expects today to be out of the ordinary.

As she leaves, Fluttershy's ears pick up a distressing sound. Is that a foal crying? A foal in distress is not something that can be ignored, and Ponyville's two virtuous ponies intend to help!

At long last, the wedding bells ring for Applejack and Fluttershy. Everypony does their utmost to try to make it the best wedding ever, but as the pair discovers, it quickly becomes a question of getting married despite, rather than because of this.

This story is a standalone, but is set after the events of Where Earth Meets Sky and Where Your Heart Is.

“I ain’t just a farmer anymore and you ain’t just a fashion designer anymore. Now we’ve got new titles.” She placed a hoof on her chest. “Element of Honesty...” -- she moved her hoof to Rarity -- “and Element of Generosity. Saviors of Equestria and whatnot.”

When Applejack was a filly, she'd been told a hundred times by her parents that she was special. This... this isn't what she expected.
