Since the rediscovery of the Elements, the reputation of the Bearers has been slow to spread -- but it has spread. And so some ponies are now aware that if they ever truly want to know what an animal is thinking, all they need to do is go to Ponyville, approach the cottage on the settled zone's border, and request a consultation -- whereupon the pegasus who lives there will typically do everything she can to turn them away.

After all, most ponies really don't want to know that their favorite companions are, at heart, complete morons.

Becoming an alicorn, Twilight Sparkle had much to learn. Her unicorn magic increased, but she had a lots of experience controlling it, and while flying proved harder then expected she had no doubt she'll master it sooner or later. And that's on top of her learning more about her role as a Princess. She has no time for interruptions.

However, when stressed Twilight is faced with her newfound strength, Applejack is there to help with an unexpected problem; being physically stronger then any unicorn.

(And now with a sequel!)

Fluttershy might be stronger than she looks.

At least, that's what Rainbow says. Applejack's skeptical, to say the least. Especially after she just lost an arm wrestling match. Besides, that sweet, gentle pony couldn't win a tug-of-war against butterflies, much less be stronger than her, right?

...Right?

Something is definitively up around here. Applejack and Fluttershy have been spending a lot of time together without the rest of the gang. Well, Rainbow Dash is on to them! In fact, she is sure this is the no-good friend-stealing Applejack's doing, and she will not stand for this - whatever this is.

Also, Rainbow Dash wears a corn hat.

Awake and alone, Applejack will find a way to survive.

And here's a TV Tropes page, if you're into that kind of thing.

Scootaloo comes to Sweet Apple Acres looking for Apple Bloom, but instead finds Applejack who decides to teach her a little bit about apple farming, and, perhaps, just a little bit about life.

With the Helping Hooves Concert in their rearview, Applejack and Coloratura decide to catch up a bit before she has to leave. Before either can move on, though, some feelings need to be put out in the open.

Thanks to Steel Resolve, ZOMG, and Timaeus for prereading!

Big Mac is strong, supportive... and silent. The model big brother, he's always there for Applejack and Applebloom, never asking for a thing in return. Together, they keep Sweet Apple Acres afloat. But was that always his dream...?

(Don't miss the sequel: "Your Beautiful Mind.")

Applejack is a very old pony, and the last Element of Harmony left alive. On the sunny day of her last friend's funeral, she shows Princess Celestia that a lifetime of magic is more powerful then grief.

Time twists and loops, and it does not always play out again as it did before. In this eddy of time, one rainbow-maned pegasus has been cut out of the loop before she ever existed.
