This story is a sequel to Feathers Are in Style
Rainbow Dash never saw herself getting pregnant, but now that she's married to Rarity, the magic that will let them have children only works if Rainbow carries the foal. And it sucks. She can't do Sonic Rainbooms, Rarity won't let her get in fights, and she's certainly in no shape to save the world.

I just want to say that’s a really good title

Credit where it's due: R5h and I spent quite a bit of time brainstorming titles until he came up with "Beneath Her Wings She Carries the World", which I shortened into this.

Sounds like the sluggterra quote “the world beneath your feet” lol
Oh goodness, Rarity...
Ooooh. That last sentence doesn't sound good...
I wonder if the salamanders have any inkling they're messing with a couple of "beasts" who are literally on speaking terms with the Sun Goddess of the entire world? Might wanna tone down the racism a bit there, soon-to-be-charcoal-creatures.
Going to guess before I read ahead. The wrath of an angry God/Princess has just come down upon these morons.
Shhh. We'll let it slide.
Wonderful story so far; can't wait for what comes next!
Oh Celestia damn it Rainbow Dash, you stubborn feathered mule.
There had better be a happy ending for all this. I don't want to start a riot, but I will.
Huh. Retcon?
I wonder if Twiggles will actually start paying attention when Rainbow keeps accurately predicting everything.
I was not expecting the direction you're taking this, given the lighthearted tone of the first few chapters. A giant, mysterious, hemispherical creature that causes the apocalypse, alongside possible time travel, taken together, remind me of Chrono Trigger. Hopefully the Roundhill isn't actually as bad as Lavos.
Dawwwww!
You know... Twilight could make some sort of memory spell and implant it in Rainbow Dash. That way, she might get a message from herself if this does turn out to be a timeline type of thing confirming what Dash is saying happens.
This story's just one enigma inside of a puzzle, innit? Can't wait to see what happens next. Though...I suspect the foal is the one causing this, somehow...
Why are these so short?! And the cliffhangers!
Related, I'm looking forward to the kid. If they're (possibly) this much trouble now, what's it gonna be like in a year...?

Oh sure, blame the baby.

I mean, the hill is very gravid, as well.
No no no no god damn it Rainbow
Awwwwww!
Genocide averted!
Oh. I was expecting a bit more slice of life scenes with the new family, not a timeskip to a banishing. Ah, well, this was still a fun read. Maybe in a sequel.
Okay, d'awww, but that's a little on the nose.
This has definitely been a joy to read. I think you marvelously captured both the characters and the spirit of the show with this story. I hope we get to see Tempo again, as despite her not showing up until now, the silly filly's really grown on me through Rainbow's 'dialogue' with her.
It was weirdly satisfing seeing Elements of Harmony fail after Twilight neglecyed Rainbow for so long
love it

I have to agree with you there. I'm still cracking up at that.
Very, very sweet. I've already read the story a few times and it never gets old.
What a sweet story ☺️
This was heartwarming and adorable
This story was so, so different from what I was expecting. Super interesting, great read. Love it.
Oookay, story as a whole was really fun and engaging and I did like the climax but... well, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't really confused here.
Now, I do kind of suspect that was the point and it definitely wasn't a major problem since I did get the broad strokes - Rainbow had some sort of connection to the Roundhill... for some reason, and formed an emotional connection with it through the shared concept of parenthood that made it either stop or undo the whole apocalypse thing. But, well, in terms of actual events, I'm fairly lost.
Like, when Rainbow and the Roundhill were going through what I'm assuming is post-omnicide Equestria, was that actually happening, was it a vision, was it some mental construct or metaphysical plane or...? And when it un-armageddoned, I'd assume Rainbow had actually gone through a trek due to her fatigue... but if that's the case, why did it go back to when it was just beginning the process rather than before? And... why did it have this connection to Dash in the first place? The whole "could have touched it" thing implies that it had always had it before any of the maybe-time jumps, but why? Also, was it the Roundhill that made her jump or the foal? Because if it was the Roundhill, there's no reason why it should only be her, but if it was the foal, then why would the Roundhill have been going through it too? Again, it's possible this is all supposed to be ambiguous and/or confusing, but... to be honest, it just kind of feels like I'm not getting something I should.
Ah well, still enjoyed the story overall, definitely reading the sequel.
So, after all that, Rarity still missed the birth. You set that eventuality up as quite a big deal and made basically nothing of it. In fact, this whole story is one big bait and switch. You spend chapter after chapter on Rainbow and Rarity’s relationship, setting up themes of second chances and the true meaning of motherhood, and then you throw it all away because you had a different unrelated story you wanted to tell.
I don’t know… I definitely enjoyed reading this for while. It was a fun premise. Maybe make the marital issues more two-sided next time. Everything is quite clearly Rainbow’s fault; I found myself siding with Rarity at every turn. Ok, she’s jealous. But she’s also just right. Boring.
