It happened quick. That's what most survivors don't realize. They talk about how it felt like they had hours to react to avoid disaster. They don't realize. It happens in a flash, an exhale, a heartbeat's time. And then, after that heartbeat, what then? After they exhale and take their next breath, what happens?
They learn to live again.

Better pick an ugly dog, then. I'll be happy if this even hits popular.
I'm sorry to see this miss the deadline, though I'm not sure how well it would do without the advance warning of the cover page. Still, a very nice bit of Rarijack.

Because Rarity does sound like something you could hear as a name in the real world, if the parent was a sort of ditz or flower child. It's within the normal confines of a sort of out-there name compared to things like Twilight Sparkle or Fluttershy which, if you heard them as names RL, would make you question the sanity of their parents.
Another nice story, Merc. Good humanized fics are in such short supply.
Title makes me think of:

Interestingly enough, I remember a story with a similar concept featuring Rarity.

What.
"Look at this side, what do you see?"
"Scary face."
"Okay, now look at this side and what do you see?"
"Rarity face."
"Good! Now put them together and you get..."
"Two Face!"
"Great! Now--"
"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH SCARY FACE AND RARITY?!"
Daaamn, the ending gut punched me, certainly got the characterisations right.
Out of Applejack and Dash I definitely think Applejack is the one with the better 'real life' smarts to be the one to finally crack through to anyone with what Rarity had happen. You did a really good job with this.
