When Applejack needs an extra hand around the farm during harvest season, Sunset Shimmer is the only one of the girls who has time to help.
During the long hours of work and play, they grow closer, learn more about each other, and discover what family means to each of them.
It begins...

Excellent romantic fluff fic. Shame it's a one-shot; this couple makes a surprising amount of sense.
Woo, horses on horses! Best "actually-a-horse" week has begun!
Well here starts the Shimmer romance week and it's starting good.
Found a mistake.

Never read about this ship before. Works surprisingly well. Have a fav.
Somehow, reading romance fics involving Applejack give me a fuzzy feeling. And that's saying something for your weekly stories so far.
I'm really looking forward to the rest of the week, but I suppose that's to be expected from a... ...Sunset Shipper
And we're off to a great start! Here's to a wonderful week full of Sunset Shimmer and her lovely harem!
It's called the Wubmobile. Like the Batmobile, or Laytonmobile, but with Wubs.
Absolutely brilliant. Keep up the good work. Part of me woulda loved to see what happened at the grotto that night ;)
An excellent start to an excellent week, but that's not surprising. After all, I'm a . . .
. . . Sunset Shipper
That is a blessed lie and you know it, Sunset. That accent only makes the gaydar even clearer. You would know these things if you grew up anywhere near the Mason-Dixon line!
I kid. In all seriousness, this is an excellent first entry for the series. Most of the setting chosen was "safe" territory with Applejack - the farm, the emphasis on her work ethic, the 'gay' reveal, the dedication to the farm over all else - but what made this work for me were all the little details added, like the poker scene and Sunset's emphasis on how manipulating people can be used for positive goals instead of negative ones, and the fact that you managed to set the romantic climax up in a way that was both completely expected and also perfect.
The only real quibble I have is that I felt awkward reading Applejack withdraw after a night of apparently awesome sex, mostly because having actually worked on a farm nobody is shy about that kind of thing - you spend as much time and energy working as most farmers do, you end up playing very hard whenever you get the chance. The silent treatment followed by catharsis felt like it was just a narrative excuse to jump to the end of the work period, when the conversation would probably have been more natural the morning after. If that's my worst nitpick, then I think we're doing great.
Why is this story in the tropers group?
Sunset Shimmer looks like Mrs. Frizzle from The Magic School Bus with that style of hair.
It be—
Oh. Wow did I get beaten to that.
In any case, a very promising beginning to the week of Sunset shipping. Definitely looking forward to seeing how you explore the other pairings, to say nothing of the other participants' contributions.
heh if other storys are gone be as good as this one ther will be a lot of sunset fics on homepage.i like the fic thos its good with nice amount of everything.cant wait to see others
Well damn, I really liked this. I'm bummed it's a one shot.
Damn it, not the ecstasy in effect again!
I bet the one with rarity is going to be about clothes
There are five more stories like this?
Oh, thank God.

That bit about the
cockrooster is no joke; I used to have one that made getting eggs from the henhouse a two-person job; one to get the eggs and one to fend off the aggressive little bastard with a trash can lid.Minor typo with Pinkie's name here, other than that. I really like it! I also came up with the idea of Sunset working on Applejack's farm in one of my fics for income, it makes perfect sense. I also like what you did with their past lives as well, though both having dead parents seemed a bit much. Other than that, really good!
Absolutley loveing this week of Sunset so far! So excited for more!
7580500 Well in Sunset's case it's just her dad, her mom ran out on her when she was still a foal.
An excellent romantic fluff and realistic story, really good work.
As someone who might very soon become a farm boy, I like this.
Summertime romance.... my one weakness... I love this so much
Uhh... does THIS video apply to that statement?
I've got a feeling that Dean Cadence has a sudden urge to sneeze. This always seems to happen when people she knows have romantic encounters.
I found myself really enjoying this. Just like Twilight x Applejack, while not my first choice for either character, the pairing and this is a really good example of that. Applejack telling the story of her parents and the cutie mark story that followed it was nice touch, as was the poker game with the CMC and Sunset. That and Sunset's awkwardness around the horse worked well with her being a pony and all.
Overall, I really liked it,can't wait to see how you handle the rest of the humane 6.
Not gonna lie, this is the one I was least interested in reading because I'm not big on Applejack.
Twilight Sparkle: "You know, back home we call that Ponyville."
Sunset: "Wonder who it was this time? Big Mac and Miss Cheerilee, or Apple Bloom and Tender Taps?"
Rarity: "AH DON'T LOVE BEIN' COVERED IN MUD!!"

Good lord, Sunset...
Wow. Applejack is one of those morning-after people. Ugh.

Is this the reference I think it is?

C'mon, dude. She's an Equestrian. "Wingmare".

Cute.
...dang I was late to the party on this one. It's kind of a shame, though - I did a chapter for one story almost two years ago centering on themes similar to this (minus shipping), and yet, here you are, doing better with yours.
I fail as a writer.
I'll bet she did, I'll bet she did!
This was great. :D I'm gonna enjoy reading these, I think.
Well damn, Applejack, the stove didn't do anything to you!
"I accidentally 93MB of RAR files"
Something lost in there.
"So" has been doubled.
AJ, you no-good no-gooder. Nobody runs from Sunset.
Ahhh!
Fantastic atmosphere and dialogue in this one. Pick of the bunch so far.
I'm uh, I'm not gonna lie. At the end of this, I cried. It touched me in a deep way. This story was beautiful, and my head cannon for this fic is they find a way to make it work.
This is amazing
This is even better than the only other one I've read (the elevator one)! And now I'm going to have to binge the rest of them. I've already forgotten what my other plans were. Something involving sleep, maybe?
A rooster's place is in the soup pot!!! in my opinion.
I think wubcake deleted the video 😞

Looks like she deleted all her pony content. Ah well.

She is moving forward. Especially with her work with the characters from "Danganronpa" Besides, she and North Bridge had a problem with the New York Brony, if you hadn't heard.
I've been questioning the same thing for many years now.
She's in trouble now!
She's got a point.

How sad.
Wow, that was darker than I expected!
