Fabulous, darling.

Rainbow Dash is injured at Sweet Apple Acres and is unable to fly home or to head up her storm team. A leaky roof puts Applejack's guest room out of commission. When these two friends share a bed, friendship slowly becomes more. But what will their friends and family think?

Cancelled, see this blog post.

All AppleDash is good AppleDash.

Hmm, you certainly brought some fresh new concepts to the AppleDash table.
Me like

WELL, I read this, and I can safely say that I love it. It builds it up, it's light-hearted and not too serious, and ends on a happy note. I really, really enjoy this.

You've got vision, and the rest of the world is wearin' bifocals

nice quick shot I approve :ajsmug::rainbowkiss:

I definitely loved t he read :ajsmug: Hope to see more AppleDash stories from you :heart:

Thanks everypony! :yay:

My talent for writing comes and goes :derpyderp1:, but this story came to me in a dream and it turned out really sweet, so I had to share. :moustache:

I may have an idea brewing for a 'TaviScratch fic, wish me luck.

1130038 It's funny where we get ideas these days :D
Good luck in your TaviScratch fic!

Oh shit.
AppleDash again.
Good story my man, that's all I can say.
You earn two Derpys::derpytongue2::derpytongue2:
One Trixie::trixieshiftright:
And a Catt Lauer:

I loved it! Nice work. Even the usually oesky dream sequences were good, being less abstract than people usually wwrite them <3

1131747

That scene was particularly vivid in my mind, so I tried hard to do it justice. :rainbowdetermined2:

That and :derpytongue2:'s lightning bolt scene. I had as much fun imagining that part as I did writing it. :rainbowlaugh:

Derpy: Hey Rainbow Dash, am I like, your Cupid? And Applejack, are you satisfied with Rainbow Dash?
Rainbow Dash: DERPY! GET OUT!!

Hnnnng! The cuteness is too much :heart:

This is AJ and Rainbow Dash, full stop. It's them exactly and I love it :rainbowkiss::ajsmug:

Life doesnt get much better then this! :raritywink:

nothing like a good AppleDash to kill a boring afternoon! :twilightsmile:

"Is that video taking forever to render in Sony Vegas? Then read some AppleDash!"

:derpyderp2: "But which one?!"

"Why Pillow Talk of course!"

Sorry, I'm literally that bored. Great fic, I loved it! :twilightsmile:
Edit: I think this might get featured!

great story! i give it 3 big macs :eeyup::eeyup::eeyup:

Really enjoyed, good work :D

"And now we're on air with our field correspondent Catt Lauer, Catt?"

"Ray, we're here, we're live. It looks like two female pegasi are about to do it behind me, so I'm probably going to masterbate to that later on. So FU** you Ray, this is Catt Lauer reporting."

"Thanks Catt! That was great!"
:rainbowlaugh:

Thanks for all the kind words everypony! :pinkiehappy: I'm pretty thrilled with the reception this story is getting. :yay:

Still working on that 'TaviScratch fic. It's a little more work to bring them to life without any established background. :pinkiecrazy:

Dun dun dun!

Well, this was originally just going to be a one-shot, but I kept thinking up more and more little bits and pieces and scenes I'd like to add, so we're going to see where it goes.

All that changed about the original chapter was the name. There will definitely be at least one more chapter, maybe two.

Also updated the tags. More comedy because I like funny scenes, and more slice-of-life sort of day to day living now that they're already together.

Dash using the word "dear" to refer to her special somepony is... really weird. Like jarringly weird. Can you honestly hear her using that term of endearment without sticking her tongue out immediately afterward? The fact that she has feelings for AJ shouldn't change her personality, and RD is not a fan of overly mushy stuff.

1337176

Honestly, yes I can. She's not a fan of overly mushy stuff in public, I'll agree. But compare moments in Read it and Weep and Hurricane Fluttershy; when her emotional barriers start to crumble, her feelings do sneak out.

After her dream revelation, watching Applejack emotionally beat herself up over nothing, the shock (literally and figuratively) of the lightning bolt, and having the object of her affection make the move she's been trying to make all day, her emotional barriers are practically non-existent by that point in the story.

i cant what to see where this gos from here

1337822

I am a rabid shipper, and a man of logic besides. I approve of this headcanon, it sounds plausible enough to me.

New chapter, finally. Edits to the old chapters are mainly just some spelling mistakes I caught after I read the whole thing over again. (I did retcon Granny Smith as also being explicitly away in Appleloosa, it was only implied before.)

And before anyone asks, yes you're going to run across a swath of non-pony terms at one point. All I'm going to say is: remember which character is speaking. :derpytongue2: (No, it's not your favorite mailmare.)

Oh fuck yeah, time for some Appledash.

Thank you so much for giving me something to do besides sleep.

Wasn't this a completed story already? Rewrite?

It started as a one shot, but it started to grow again. So I let it.

Ah! It's so fluffy I'm gonna die! :pinkiegasp::pinkiehappy::rainbowkiss:

I don't know how old she is in this story, but RD seems at least 20% more mature than usual. Not crashing into the library? Or laughing at AJ's turkey wings? Our little Dashie is growing up ... :fluttercry:

It apparently seems as though I will be the first one to give constructive criticism.
Yay. :yay:
Okay, everything in the story was mostly good . . . until the cliche ending.

It had been a busy day, but one with a very satisfying end.

Really? REALLY!!? :facehoof: We all know that it was a very busy yet satisfying day. We read the story. It's an assumption that doesn't have to be written down. Might as well delete that sentence. There are a few other sentences in the story that fall under the same mistake as the one above.
Another thing: Time lapse. Take, for example, this quote from the story:

The two mares walked flank to flank back toward Sweet Apple Acres. Rainbow Dash walked on Applejack's right, her unhurt left wing was draped over her friend's shoulders. Her excuse was for support, still feeling woozy from the lightning bolt. That was partly true, but she enjoyed the physical contact much more.

Even though it was only late afternoon, Rainbow Dash was ready to lay down. That lightning bolt had knocked the wind out of her, despite the brave face she put on it.

Try adding "* * * * *" or some sort of divider to let the reader know about a change of time or the changing of the scene. That is all. For now.

And constructive it is.

As for your second point, I wholeheartedly agree and had I been thinking, I would have applied such treatment to the existing time breaks. (The are marked in the original with a double space, but that doesn't seem to have carried over well and you're the first to have pointed it out.)

As for your first point, that final line is a vestige of the story's beginning as a single chapter one-shot and does feel quite awkward with more story now following. Also agreed that it's not a very strong ending even for a single chapter story and could stand to be replaced regardless. However, either your standards are higher than mine, or my critical reading is not strong enough to detect any similar faults in the rest of the chapter. Would you be so kind as to point out these additional examples for my benefit?

Well, that took far too long. Writer's block is not fun, especially combined with weird holiday schedules and other commitments. Old chapter edits are just formatting except for a small tweak to the end of the first chapter to make it sound less bad.

Are you WillPSherman from DeviantArt? Just curious cause I read an AppleDash fic with the same name on there and I was wondering if this is the same one.

2008409

Nope, must just be coincidental naming.

2008409

Will.P. has an account here and his story is named 'Pillow Thoughts'. But I was also confused with the title for second.

edit: Now that I think about it...I could've sworn that I've read this story here before and it was marked complete.

Is it just me or has your writing improved in comparison to the previous chapters?
Not to be harsh or anything but this chapter just 'gets' me more than the previous ones.
Maybe I'm just a drama addict :pinkiesad2:

AppleDash?
This story with the #2 shipping pair has gained my curiosity.
