What happens on Maidens Day is a closely guarded secret among pegasi and earth ponies. Now that Twilight is an alicorn, she'll have the chance to learn about it.
Why do I get the feeling Twilight will come back and find a fainted Fluttershy, and then RD will request to practice. What, it's makes as much sense as the reason why there's sex involved at all.
So I'm totally loving this so far. Ever since you pitched the idea it sounded really interesting, and I love how you're executing it. The world building is great, and Dash's nerves throwing a wrench into her 'I'mma bang that Flower Maiden and it'll be fun" mentality makes it that much more entertaining. Plus Twilight being a huge dork about the whole thing is hilarious.
So just how good are next year's crops going to be? Appledashery adds extra magic or something to the universe, I'm sure of it.
“Um... usually it’s just that the Flower Maiden and the Cloud Maiden don’t... get along.” Fluttershy explained, blushing. “Then it’s just a bad year for the farmers. Applejack will be very upset.”
Fluttershy just went on, “But if things go really badly, it causes droughts, or famine, or plagues, or-- but, that hardly ever happens.”
Fluttershy seems to have a knack for rolling critical failures on her Make Motivational Speech rolls doesn't she?
Because why the fuck not? Just introducing a male in here for the sake of heterosexuality is fucking stupid. There are no well-developed stallions with rich characters in the show. Mares seem to be the more prominent gender anyway.
Stop with your toned-down, "lel tryin not 2 offend u but fukk u still" comment and just leave.
2930757 it will most likely not be mentioned or happen but it would be in character a Rainbow Dash in this situation would want to get as much practice in as possible.
and wind up ruining everything. just kidding i have full faith in your abilities Rainbow.
“Right. That’s very powerful magic. I was telling her that I think I’m understanding the purpose of all of this. It’s like the Summer Sun Celebration,” Twilight said, as if that explained things.
Ten bucks says there used to be a similar ritual for the Summer Solstice (and maybe even the Winter Solstice) that recharged things for the Sun and Moon. And that those rituals went away when Celestia and Luna came into the picture. Maybe they were even created by those rituals.
Who knows. In a millennium or more, maybe the Maiden's Day Celebration will result in the rise of a "Nature Alicorn" or something.

This is an interesting story. I will readily admit I'm not the target audience for this one, but it was highly recommended to me so here I am As far as that goes, I will just note that if this story doesn't land for me, it is quite certainly a me thing and not a you thing. After all, I can not in any capacity slight the writing here; the jokes had me laughing, and I was feeling for Rainbow at the end. I hope things work out with the flower maiden, whichever pony they might be (it's Applejack lmao)

About an hour later, Rainbow Dash had completed the race and the fighting cube, and flew to the stands to find Twilight and Fluttershy before her turn at the weather course.
Well, ok then. Seems like you could have written about those events…
Oooo.
Stage fright for Rainbow all over again.
I love it. Maybe AJ can quell that? (What? We all knew it would happen.)

Dang Twilight, you sure know how to give a pony confidence.
Daunting indeed, if Dash shrinks from it.

But it’s also about, well--”
“Sex.”
Priceless.

While I don't mind F/F shipping, because you know, lesbians. But I do agree with you about the "no male" part. It is a bit odd.
Of course this is lesbian. Stopping here.
Edit: This is my fucking opinion, does it really matter to ya'll? At least I use proper grammar.
2934382 your face is lesbian
Oooooh Fluttershy, your uplifting words could give heart attacks to slabs of granite.

OOoohh, Dash! You can do it. Don't let nerves get the better of you. Twi really freaked her out.
Can we please have a bonus chapter?! I REALLY want some more Spitfire stories out there, and it would be so awesome to read! Please?

I'm impressed you managed to write a story about ritualise lesbian sex and not have it come across as weird
The flower madden is going to be Applejack, isn't it?

Not for nothing, but Spitfire’s speech was actually quite eloquent and inspiring.
