The first time I met Rainbow Dash, I knew that she was made to be the stuff of legends. She was simply a pony born to be awesome, and her mere existence inspired us all.

What not many ponies in Ponyville knew at the time was that there was something else that Rainbow Dash desired, something far more sincere, tender, and endearing. It’s the same thing that a great deal of us all yearn for, really, only Rainbow Dash wasn’t quick to admit it. That was fine, for a while, at least. You see, even the biggest and bravest heroes have to break at some point. Rainbow Dash must have feared it would have ruined something about her awesommmmme image. But she was wrong. Of course she was wrong. I mean… I’m writing about it today, aren’t I? And I’m certainly happy to. She found her place, and so did I too.

But enough rambling. You’re here for a story. Well, so am I. It’s certainly one that I enjoy relating. So, feel free to indulge me as I share something that’s been taking up a warm, happy place in my skull for far too long. I can’t promise that it’s a short story. In fact, it kind of goes where it wants, but such is the way of happy things, I suppose.

I’ll promise you this, though. Pinkie Pie Swear…

It ends with them cuddling.

It ends with them cuddling.

As I start this story, it sits at 167,000 words long.
There'd better be some God-damned cuddling within those words.

And away we go~

[Emberheart]

Saw the title => instantly drawn in
Read the description => decided to read
Saw the number of chapters => whoooa whoa, I don't know
Read the first chapter => *sigh* better buckle up. I'm in for the long haul.

I've fallen too hard for the story already, then you have to go and add the promise of cuddles? For shame. How cruel.

Sigh. I know that feel.

We all do. Especially us Austraeoh fans.

[North Bound]

4655077 oh my gosh, I know I needed something to fill the time in between chapters for Austraeoh but I did not expect to find this.

[BabySkittleMonster]

Re-reading it whilst waiting for the next chapter. It's a good thing he updates pretty much daily or I wouldn't know what to do.

[Lone Gazebo]

Man. Can't wait to read this also 12 book long epic, only for it to end with platonic cuddling.

[JustAnotherTimeLord]

And away we go! Time for the pursuit of cuddleness.

[Titan Commander Sebaste]

I've read Austreoh, not as many chapters as this story!

[Prismmmm]

Oh mah god, SNUGGLING. Now this is officially the best story.

[THE MONK3Y]

You better keep that promise of the ending having a cuddle.

[Czar_Yoshi]

So, this is narrated by... Spike? Twilight? Probably not AJ. I really can't tell.

[AppleTank]

Lies

Conhoofus say, "Journey of a thousand chapers begins with turn of a single page."
Darn you Conhoofus...

Also, cuddles? RD being adorable awesome? What's not to like?
Gonna read this whole thing now.

[TwilightShipper]

so cute, but so short.
#2/1000

God help me, I'm restarting this, though I don't know if I'll get far at all.

I think the whole "it ends with them cuddling" thing is one of the greatest gimmicks ever. Somehow it just makes slogging through the mind numbingly long adventure sequences and emo Dashie stretches seem worth it. I remember I stopped reading for a year after I hit the Cider Princess arc and eventually I was drawn back in due to that gimmick.

[Merula]

Well, time for me to brutally murder my sleep cycle once again in the quest of east hor-*COUGH* I MEAN Dashie snuggles!

[arancaytar]

Woah! We have a narrator! Is she fuzzy?

[Boop-Happy Lass]

You better...

[PropsValroa]

It better end with cuddles or else I want money back.

[Walrusesarecute]

As I said, this is going to be a journey for me, and with a rating like this on a story like this, and my appreciation for slice of life, I assume I am going to like this story.
