Rainbow Dash has a crush.
A huge one.
On a mare with beautiful purple eyes.
On a mare with a nice, pointy horn, and a wonderful set of wings.
On a mare that can somehow rock what had to be the most boring of haircuts known to ponykind, making it look like the leading act of a fashion show.
So, with all that in mind, what was there for a big, athletic, inexperienced, and frankly, totally awesome pegasus to do?
Well, to be honest, there is only one real solution. Acquire a book, get a reservation to a fancy restaurant, some tickets to las Pegasus, bribe Starlight, hire Scootaloo with a radio as a spy, and see which things work.
Chapters (1)
My favorite TwiDash story to this day has to be A bluebird's Song by Ardensfax. I love that story. It's everything I wanted in a TwiDash fic when I read it, and while it's old, it has that spirit that I just adore.
I even paid to have the first half privately published. I still got the book around my house somewhere.
I loved it,great job !

Thank ya!
you had me thinking it was a Bon Jovi parody
Probably my favorite is Unwell for the impact it had when I read it. The quirk of that one is that Twilight has a serious mental health issue and how that affects her relationship with Rainbow Dash. And of course Rainbow being Rainbow about it when she finds out but trying really hard.
9131652
I remember that one. It was amazing, and now I wanna reread it. Too bad the sequel died.
(Unlike miss pill replacer.)
(Unless I’m thinking of a different mental health fic. But I am pretty sure.)
9131589
Nah, it was a reference to all the old “one of the two try to ask out the other and keep failing/chickening out” stories.
XD
9131658
Nope, that’s the one.
9131662
Yeah. I wonder what the odds of the sequel coming back to life are?
9131670
Guess we can only hope, it's like all the best fics. I was still really disappointed when Loyal2Luna vanished into the aether, I hope they're okay.
9131694
Same. I hope life is going ok for them.
This was hilarious!!!
I love it!
I liked it!
9131845
Awww, thank you!
9132410
Thank you for enjoying it!
9132427
Thank you for making it!
9132431
It’s my pleasure. I’m just happy to make things people enjoy.
Anyone remember Growing Pains? That was one helluva'n adventure.
9133091
That was the story that literally got me into TwiDash. XD
My dream is to make an mlp action story of the same caliber and scope.
Nice, love it.
Audacia Iris is my favourite getting together fic. The punchline revealed by the second chapter made it hilarious.
9142008
I loved that one too. XD
9133687
Thank ya!
Great to see more Twidash. You're right that it feels like there's been a drought of it for a while...
9153003
I know, right?
I miss the golden days, when there was a TwiDash a day, when there was the big writers like the wizard of words, who wrote amazing TwiDash on a weekly basis.
It was a golden era.
Ah well. The most I can do is make as much as I can, and hope others do the same. And while I’m no Abyss, no kodeake, and certainly no Wizard of words, I’ll try to do my best, and make as much good TwiDash as I can.
I’ll keep trying, and keep learning, and maybe one day make something truly great.
Ah, this was well worth the trip down memory lane. I miss writing for this fandom. The close-knit community, constant competitions, challenges, and memes. I even miss the old ship wars.
This was a very fun read. I particularly enjoyed the second attempt, with the accidental plans with Starlight. This whole thing was an excellent reminder of why I started writing TwiDash, and MLP famfiction in general. Very cute.
As far as favorite TwiDash fics go, though, I only have a few that I’ve personally saved directly to my ibooks app. Campfire Stories was one of the very first TwiDashes, way back in 2011; it, and Twilight Learns A Secret, were the only ones I read before I took up the pen.
(Somewhat) more recently, we have fics like My Dashing Hero, Mare Do Well vs Professor Nightshade, and Miss Sparkle, Psychopath. I have a hardcover first edition copy of Twilight’s List, so that’s probably worth mentioning, too. But the best of the best is probably Then Tomorrow Came, honestly.
9156373
Bah. Who needs that Kodeake guy? This is far better than anything he could write anyway. Most enjoyable with some spot-on comedy.

*Gasp*
Lies and slander. Your stories are easily some of my favorites of all time, and I still go back and read over them on occasion.

(I wrote up a response, and apparently didn't hit that little "post comment" button that always seems to elude me. I apologize for the wait.)
Thank ya! I'm glad I didn't burn out thine retinas.
And, those are all great stories. And I really do wish that Tomorrow never came would update. It was easily one of my favorites when it came out, and I still await it's possible update to drop with excitement.
You don't know how happy I am to grin this stupidly at a twidash fic again
THEY'RE BOTH SO ADORABLE
Unlike all the other pony's assumptions on Rainbow Dash making the first move, it was actually Twilight, who was being the bigger pony.
Well now I just want to know how a Trojan Horse could be applied to the dating process.
9563361
It would be very interesting to see. I want a story that somehow involves this. I don't even begin to see how this one would work.

*Cracks knuckles*
Yep, that'll about do it.
