Rainy days can sometimes be a real downer, even if they mean you get a legitimate excuse to stay inside. But this time, the rain is bringing not just a change of atmosphere, but a change in mood. Just when you think your feelings cannot drag you down any lower, however, in trots your favorite rainbow-haired pegasus.
You expected a dull day — but instead, you got a colorful one.
If I was sitting at my desktop, I'd have a lot to say and more then enough time to write it all down. I'll try my best even though I'm not usually one to leave a comment.
Honestly? The story was good. Really good. It's almost as if every word was plucked from ones perfect image of the story and placed exactly where it needed to go. It brings back memories of when I first got into the fandom and sitting alone in the basement reading silly romance stories about ponies. Very well done.
Only thing I didn't quite get; though I might have glossed over it, are "you" and Rainbow Dash a couple or just really close friends? Though I like to think their little talk was a way of bridging that gap and both coming to terms with their feelings for each other.
All in all it was very well written, nothing glaringly wrong that popped out in the way of mistakes. Cute, feely, and well worth a like and a fave.

Thank you very much for your comment!
Firstly, I am very glad you enjoyed it! I was not really confident about how this fic was going to be received because it just fealt, well, different from my others (even though, in a lot of ways, it isn’t). I’m glad I was able to bring those memories back for you, and I once again thank you for your praise of the story!
Second, whether or not you are and Rainbow Dash are a couple is completely up to your imagination! Something I love about Second Person and/or self-insert stories is that it allows you to place yourself in the primary character’s shoes, and you can then rightly decide for yourself what happens next.
Third, thank you very much for the like and favorite! It truly does mean a lot to me, and I am once again happy that I was able to write something that you found enjoyable.
Have a splendid day, my friend!
(P.S, I do have a few more, though not many. More are on the way, though!)

I have not written any others than this one, but I can recommend an author to you: CategoricalGrant
They write many comfort stories (not all of which specifically feature Rainbow Dash, but some do), and I would highly recommend checking out their page.
I hope you have a wonderful day!
I really enjoyed this. I love these heart warming comfort stories.

I am very glad that you enjoyed, and I am happy that I was able to write a story to your interest!
Oh, this--this is beautiful. The human is so relatable, and Rainbow is so comforting, that I can't help but keep this in my favorites now.
Love the pony
very nice story, good work, waiting for more similar ...👍
Why do I hear Nick Wilde’s voice when I think of that? 🤔🤔🤔🦊🦊🦊
Damn, hitting me right in the feels....
Amazing work, bro.
What does he mean by that?
Does he mean the town is next to her cattle?
So, she basically just confessed?
I'm not sure if this is befitting of Dash's character. Then I'm not really feeling the speech... The thought "I haven't done enough/I need to do more" is perfectly natural and actually healthy. It can become unhealthy, but I see no indication of that here. I guess I just don't get how love is an "afteraffect". I would say it is the opposite. You love first, and so THEN you act with love. It makes no sense to act and then love, to feed the needy before you mourn their situation. It makes more sense to see someone starving and, feeling empathy as a person should, feed them. Then I'm just not personally sure if love is that much of a choice, really.
I'd have been down more with "You have done such and such for me, so please, don't feel that way. We love each other, don't we? This is what people who love each other do." Also yeah, are they in a romantic relationship or is this just a friendship?
All in all, not poorly written nor bad, despite my stance. I think it's just me, personally, but I will leave a like regardless.

You're quite right. This was written at a time when I didn't know how to write Dash's character quite as well as I think I do now. She wouldn't really be one to use big words or long sentences, most likely. I may re-write this someday, but for now, I think I'm going to keep it as it is to be a reminder of where I began in writing dialogue for characters.
Found a typo. Should be hoof.
