The Tomorrow King.

T

It's not easy being a couple when you're the exact opposites of each other. Fed up with Applejack's carelessness, Rarity loses her temper and the two part in anger. Rarity knows she has to patch things up, but is distracted when a very important customer arrives. The last thing she needs now is an embarassing marefriend.

Applejack has other plans, however. How will Rarity react when she learns that what she asked for isn't what she wanted?

Not bad... If I were to be completely honest, it felt a little... off. Like it was rushed a bit. I'm not sure I can quite vocalise what exactly it was, but there was just a little something that kept it from seeming to be perfectly in character. Sorry I can't explain better, but it was still a pretty good read for a one-shot.

Well, it is very short. And to be honest, I didn't want to spend that much time on it since it's just a brief episode. I do sorta get what you mean, though.

I thought it was cute. And not just because I am a fan of Rarijack.

I love Rarijack, and I loved this story!
I could only wish for it to be longer, but I won't complain.
Great story!

You know, I'm usually 50/50 on mane 6 shipping but this is is pretty good!

Now this was a real treat, i really enjoy this story, for how Applejack change for Rarity, and for Rarity just loving applejack for who she was and knowing how much it was hurting her to pretend to be what she not, was just done beautifully, it felt so real, and i find that really impressive. five stars from me.

Love this story. Applejack is awesome, she goes all in for things she wants. :ajsmug:

Eyetwitch = I am acting phony and it hurts so much going against my element.

I cannot get enough of Applejack turning back to a Manehattanite.

For a short one-shot this was a fantastic read. I love the drama that can be created with some well written Rarijack, but the resolution of this argument was something else entirely. Seems I too often forget Applejack's brief Manehatten upbringing, but I'm going to have to side with Rarity on this. Don't ever change AJ.:ajsmug:

Thanks, I'm glad you like it.

Yeah, I basically wrote this because I realized that AJ is probably very aware of how she talks and acts due to the time she spent in Manehattan - it's not like she doesn't understand ponies like Rarity, and she could be all classy if she felt like it. She just doesn't bother, 'cause that ain't her. I think that sorta adds a whole new layer to her relationship with Rarity. (Be it platonic or romantic.)

:twilightsmile: This is really sweet...

This was great, good job!

Not bad at all! This was quite the fluffy little tale you've spun.

I quite enjoyed it.

Dis fic... It's amazing!

You deserve NOTHING short of a full review, you magnificent son of a bitch!

Here are the best points: Unlike SO MANY OTHERS, this tale starts with the issue slammed in our noses. It was perfectly balanced and executed, and I smiled more than once at the tension you've crafted. The beginning had the 'oh no she didn't!' hook that most romances seemed to have phased out of these days. The situation you crafted was simple and wonderfully incepted, and I found my self turning the proverbial page to see what would happen next.

Now, I'm not gonna baby you and say I enjoyed your characterizations. Because, I didn't enjoy them... I respected them. That's right. Pure, unrestrained respect is what you've gained for your character interactions. The best part about this--and your writing, as I've seen--is that you keep it simple. You have now false mark of maturity to pad your writing. You tell it how it is. All of my 'yes'. And your OC? Am I crazy to actually want a little more backstory to this character? I mean, come ON! An Hispanic stallion, who, for all intents and purposes, is 'Fashion Jesus?' Any other time, I'd be all like, 'Oh, another useless, half-assed meat-bag used as a pathetic plot engine. I'll forget about them by the end of the story'. But no... Not Mr. Gala. That fact he was annoyed AND humbled by Opal (Lucifurry) officially won this character all my love!

... ... What manner of black magic is this?

... ... ... Wait, what the--??? Oh. Well, um... damn. I know I promised a fullreview, but I don't see any negative things to throw in your face. Huh...

...
...
CLOSING STATEMENT!

This was an incredibly sweet RariJack story. One that left nothing veiled. It stripped the characters bare and showed us what they were made of, as it should always be. You, my good, partially-motivated sir, are utterly fantastic! And so very,very followed!

Well, now. I think this is the first time anyone has called me a "magnificent son of a bitch".

...I guess I can get used to that. :ajsmug:

In all seriousness, I'm very glad you liked the story this much, though this is really kinda humbling because I still think I could probably have made it even better. Belive it or not, but I'm a bit of an underachiever most of the time. Nice to know I apparently haven't lost my touch, though.

I wish I could tell you Glitterati's backstory, but the sad truth is he doesn't actually have one. I made him up excusively for this fanfic because I needed a Fancy Pants-type of character whom Rarity hadn't met yet, but who was also a very big deal to her. I don't do a lot of world-building and I don't think I based him on anyone in particular - he just sorta appeared that way. I'm not even quite sure why I made him Italian, probably just because it fit his name. :twilightsheepish:

Anyway, thanks a bundle for the praise. It made my day. :pinkiehappy:

Huh.

Now, I almost never read any shipping stories besides TwiLuna, Twilestia and the occasional Twidash. I thought I'd take a chance with this fic, and I have to say...

This is really good. I'm impressed! You have a lot of talent, sir.

The issue was thrown in our face from the get-go, and the tension at the beginning was done very well, I have to say. The characters felt very true to themselves, and I found myself smiling more than once during their reconciliation.

Also, the OC was non-intrusive, which I appreciate.

Man, now I feel the urge to write a romance one-shot of my own...

Anyway, thank you for this little gem. It was a joy to read.

Wow! This should be an actual episode!:pinkiegasp::heart:

3140230

Actually, that would be hilarious.

Suddenly! Rarijack is canon for no reason!

And then the entire internet explodes. :trollestia:

3140432 What I meant is it feels like an episode. It feels like Look before You Sleep and Sisterhooves Social had a baby.

But yeah, that would be funny.:trollestia:

Suddenly, I really want Rarijack in Season 4...

Gahhhh, so cliche but so perfect! For some reason, I know it's bad to avoid cliches in writing, but dammit, if you add RariJack to it, then you're gonna end up killing someone with feels, and that, my good sir/ma'am, is exactly what you did! Bravo!

As I see it, it's not cliché if you enjoy it. :raritywink:

Why... Why does hearing her talk like that hurt so much?

Ooh, dat line! :yay:

RariJack - the OTP to rule them all.

I do enjoy RariJack, and I really enjoyed this fic. It was short, which is great, I like stories that are lean and to the point. I think Rarity could of been a bit more apologetic for what she said, but other than that, a good snappy fic. Greenthumbed!

3884806

Thanks, I'm glad you liked it.

I did notice that Rarity didn't quite get a chance to properly apologize, mostly because Applejack's own apology distracted her and the flow wasn't right for it. I tried to work one in right at the end ("I was an idiot too, you know?") but ultimately I guess I was satisfied as long as the two of them worked everything out.

This is easily one of my fav Rarijack fics. Love it! :ajsmug: :raritystarry:

Intense argument, but sweet resolution. I loved it.

Gala Glitterati is such an on-point, show style name for a fashion horse, I'm shocked he isn't canon. :D
