Life for Applejack been rather tiresome lately. Her mechanical legs have been overheating more often, and the orchard is only half bucked. However, her luck has been looking up as the she has just learned that for the next three weeks she will be working alongside Lady Rarity, a mare she had admired from afar for years.
For Rarity this is a nightmare. It's middle of of the autumn fashion season, and now her father has forced her to work on a filthy apple farm. Whats worse is that the mare she is working alongside is acting... bizarre.

Chapters (3)
This sounds like a story that requires a lot of prior background knowledge. Mechanical legs, mechanical throats, and just steampunk cyborgs being common place in general... I mean that alone is a story in and of itself. But your first chapter is less than 2k words, no where near enough to establish the background on this world so we can actually follow all the nuances of the relationship this story centers around. It sounds interesting, but I'm worried that it will just end up being some short little thing with no foundation for us to use to connect with the characters.
put up a bit of background and it should be fine :) illbe reading this.
8179175 Same.
And as self-entitled lore devourer I demand you to provide as the background and lore.
Black Lady is watching
Ave Domina, Regina Nocte
Well it looks like the people have spoken. I might not get to it in the next chapter, but rest assured there will be lore.
Maybe add alternate universe tag. Since it is not standard MLP
8196483 Ah right, knew I was forgetting something. Thank you for the reminder.
"So Applejack has mechanical legs now, a fact worth noting."
"Knowledge"
"Terror. I thought you didn't like mapping?"
"We had a bit of free time. Between the two of us it gets easier to get chores done."
"That's good. I could use an insight from somepony else."
"...Do I properly see, Honesty got steel legs here?"
"Now"
"Whatever"
"Yes, you are correct, I already noted this fact."
"Any assumptions why?"
"An accident seems most probable."
"Oh, really? It is not an augmentation?"
"We didn't move that far in 5th D. Applejack wouldn't perform such an act on herself if not for proper reason."
"And somehow Generosity works in Orchard, not willingly apparently."
"Personal task. She comes from noble family now. It is common among nobility to order their heirs to do labors as a lesson."
"...I wonder, do She already, you know, did She..."
"It is actually easy to check. Let's see who is librarian at Golden Oak Library..."
I love the premise of this and it is so well done so far!! AAAH! I love it!
That steampunk design mixed in makes the world so fascinating, and if this is headed where I think it is....(rarijack me hopes?) then YAY!
The tension is already there with AJ's crush on Rarity, and now Rarity needs to learn to come down to Earth lol
Just a great great setup and I hope this continues on and doesn't get lost!
LOVE IT!
Omg! An update! -goes to read!-
Aww poor Applejack needs a rest... I hope Rarity starts to notice the things around her soon, sheesh!
Great update and I can't wait for more!!!
Intriguing, I'd like to see where this goes next, maybe see a bit more of the world beyond the apple farm down the line.
