My name is Ru'dehm Lekishael, although my best friend calls me by the nickname "Red Delicious." Who is my best friend? Some... magical tiny horse named Applejack. She's faithful and strong. She also wears a hat.
I'm not sure what brings her to Tamriel, but she never asks why I left Hammerfell for the frozen heart of Skyrim, so... that's perfectly fine by me. It's not easy trying to scrape a living here in Whiterun, but having AJ with me makes it bearable. She looks after me and I look after her. Along the way we take out a few bandits and bounties, and that's enough to make the both of us feel accomplished.
All things considered, I really can't complain. We've got a pair of sleeping mats at the Bannered Mare, and the Nords around here are kind enough... every other Morndas or Tirdas, that is. But we're starting to get used to them; we have to. After all, it's 4E 201, the start of a new century. What's the worst that could happen?
Oh my god you actually did it.

Don't know if want.
Mikael, that's not... Mikael, a lute has strings, you don't blow it... you're not a bard at all, are you, Mikael?
Ah, hilarious read. Just goes to show that Slice of Life is just as valid as any other, and that AJ is as good a protagonist as any. By all means, continue.
Just a few points though.
She means these guys, right?

Try checking into Jorrvaskr, AJ. I'm sure you'll get on just fine with Aela.
SS&E: writing the best AJ since 1886
Applejack is derping hard in these snapshots.
As someone who has never played Skyrim, I know full well that a bunch of jokes are sure to go over my head.
But I don't care. Following like a mofo.
Only you could rekindle my interest in Skyrim after all this time.
Also, if my memory serves,
Argonians are native to Tamriel.
I am thoroughly enjoying this story. Definitely a good read
"I used to be an adventurer like you, but then I took an arrow to the fetlock."
"How can I help a brother Equestrian?"
"Oh, you're the new member of the Companions; what do you do, fetch the cider?"
"You're that one from the College of Winterhoof, aren't you?"
"If I find your hoof in my pocket I'm going to cut it off!"
"Got to keep my eyes, open... Dragons could swoop down at any moment!"
"What is it? Changelings?"
I used to be a brony like you, but then I took a downvote to the userpage.
At first I didn't know what to think. But I gave it a try because, well, skirts wrote it!
And I'm loving! Just the right amount of funny and stupid

Clearly that was a typo.
Not drinking alcohol in Skyrim is the same as not drinking any liquid at all. It's no wonder they see dragons and undead everywhere, as drunk as they are. I think you need a DLC just to have milk.
And the mods for milk are too sick for me, I guess?Speaking of Redguards, do you get to the Cloud District very often?
6994913 No. NO!
Fuck you!
pleas no hate me, mean no offense.
So the descriptions for this story are quite poorly thought-out From the short description:
The first sentence gives the idea that they live in Whiterun and are rooted there, but then the second sentence takes them all over Skyrim. It would benefit the description to have indication in the first sentence that they're actually travelers or adventures or whatever you have them as.
Then, from the long description:
When someone says they prefer their nickname over their real name, that means they generally prefer it when people call them by it. If you want everybody except a single person to use your real name, however, you do not prefer your nickname.
"Applejack... Is that fur? Coming out of your ears?"
AJ opens all door before her majesty.
Hmmmm this intrigues me I'll be reading, can't wait for the next part.
Well, I know pretty much zero about Skyrim, but I do like the conversations that go on between AJ and Red.
Curved swords.
Applejack, best warhorse.
Daamn, AJ.
Applejack, best
warcat-horse.Well, technically AJ there are dog people, you just might not enjoy the meeting.
Well, this is entertaining thus far. I have only a passing familiarity with the Elder Scrolls series, but I'm definitely looking forward t9o seeing what you do with this.
I can't not follow up vote and comment on this
I may have a problem, but if you don't continue it we'll both have one

more false words have been spoken in comparison to these
this is the part where I lost it

I am entertained and not even going to worry about where the plot of this story is going
I like the pictures of Skyrim that appear at the beginning of every chapter.
But for land's sake, hide your damn compass!
6994283
. . . Can I ship it? Is that allowed?
Don't care. Shipping it. Shipping it good.
I like the screenshots at the start, but hide the compass. You can hide it using console commands or as a mod. Is "Red Delicious" a mage?
I cannot even.
Either Red Delicious knows what a housecarl really does or she's eager with the firewood. I thought that housecarl looked like Rarity.
The best kind of sorcery. This does a good job of brushing any questions about AJ's origin off to the side for a bit. I'm still curious how there events came to pass.
Whelp. Sometimes you get pushed around even if you have AJ with you.
Ah, is this just another unfinished skirts fic? Damn. Was getting into it.
Knowing nothing about Skyrim or, indeed, anything related to The Elder Scrolls series, this chapter was amazing.
I find myself identifying with Ru'dehm.
These ponies...
