Rarity needs help and Applejack volunteers to help. Simple, so what's up with Rarity's weird reluctance?

It's not like it's real.

It's Friday and the classes just finished. All of Fluttershy's friends have plans for the weekend, leaving her with no one to spend it with. Suddenly, the one person she has feelings for asks her to spend some time together. Is this just a dream? No, this is a chance life just gave her.

Sunshyne.

This story is a sequel to Messenger

Sunset Shimmer has found herself spending a great deal of time with the Dazzlings as of late, as they adjust to their new life-after-magic. Though, considering what the four of them used to be, does she really know Adagio as well as she thinks?

A big thanks to Bookish Delight for collaborative help with vetting my ideas, supplying a few, authorial advice, editing, and general encouragement throughout the process here.

Princess Twilight and Rarity are dating.

The other Rarity in Twilight's life isn't quite sure how she feels about any of this.

This story is a sequel to A Cupcake for Your Thoughts

Of all the girls at CHS, there's one in particular who's caught your eye. Rarity, the proper, well-spoken, and fabulous fashonista. Her poise and mannerisms are so unique and attractive. You'd give anything for a chance to ask her out. But she's way out of your league, and could find someone infinitely better than you.

During a violently stormy school day, you see Rarity fall in a puddle outside in the torrential downpour. You offer help, and perhaps your single act of generosity will make your dreams a reality.

2nd installment of the The Cute, the Fluffy, and Romantic

This story is a sequel to A Generous Soul

Many things happened the night of the Fall Formal that surprised Sunset Shimmer. Becoming a demon, gaining friends, and becoming hated by everyone else (well, most things surprised her). The one thing she absolutely couldn't have seen coming was finding a girlfriend.

Rarity has been the best thing to happen to her in a long time. Rarity is always there when Sunset needs her. So when their friends start a band, sirens enact their sinister plans, a princess returns, with all of it culminating in a massive magical battle for the fate of the world, it's good that Sunset has Rarity.

After all, with all the stress and insanity it helps to have someone you love.

All things considered, Rarity finds a bitter prom better than a lonely one.

Still, it doesn't make watching her dream school dance from afar any less pitiful. Neither does Rainbow Dash's insistence on hanging around.

Or; misery loves company, and no one loves rejection -- it's a bitter slow dance, really.

Not that she didn't appreciate it, but just watching Applejack put together an entire dressing room was a prime lesson on How to Exhaust Rarity In 73 Easy Steps.

Perhaps after some rest, however, she might have a better idea how to show said appreciation. The only wildcard, then, would be Applejack's reaction...

An epilogue to DIY w/ Applejack.

This story is a sequel to Rarity Visits Sunset Shimmer at 4 a.m.

After hitting her emotional limit and being pulled back from the brink by Rarity, Sunset Shimmer is slowly recovering from her breakdown. She's not back to her new-old self just yet, but she is making progress. Unfortunately, Flash Sentry heard half the story and is on the warpath to give his ex-girlfriend a piece of his mind. Rarity tries to keep him away, but fails. How much damage can one man scorned do? Does he even care?

This story is part of Sunset's Recovery Arc.

Rated "T" for depiction of self-harm, and a couple of naughty words.

Broken magic. A broken home. Three once-Dazzlings still live under the same roof, but drift apart as the weeks following their defeat pass on.

One spirals downward. Another moves forward. And Aria collapses inward—to her head full of dreams, held down by a shattered song and doubts of her own self-worth.

One night, an unwelcome voice finds her and leaves her with a choice to be made.
