A few weeks after Twilight's coronation, Rara visits Applejack to get help with her upcoming concert. The visit becomes a point of contention for Rainbow Dash, who experiences a new range of emotions during that time. Will Rainbow Dash come to terms with the fact that she feels, and may have always felt, a different kind of love for Applejack?
The truth to that question will set Rainbow Dash free. But first, she must admit it to herself.
Be ready for a lot of fluff with a dash of angst. This is a light-hearted Appledash fanfic, and I hope it becomes one of your go-to comfort reads. And this is my first Appledash fic, so please be kind :)
I put your story on my tracking list, can’t wait for the next update!

yay!! i’m glad you’re enjoying it :)
Do you realize how hot you made Applejack seem by using that phrase?
Wow this fanfic is amazing
Wait it's not finished yet!!!
I read this final chapter on Wattpad and the song and it was amazing...
I really don't know what else to say except
Great start so far - I'm already intrigued
The two greatest desires of Rainbow Dash.
Well done Dashie.
Also wow, I really like how you handled this chapter.
Ooooo Omigosh, this is too cute.
Oh no I love this so much
Rainbow Dash being Rainbow Dash, she just can't be subtle about anything.
r u sure
Granny 👀
AJ wouldn't ever leave her farm, @Rara.
Gosh darn finally, Dash Now quit the yappin' and start the actin'!
Blockhead Idiot x Blockhead Idiot, my favourite relationship dynamic, I must be masochistic or something...
What an absolutely riveting chapter. Also, more cookies for my poor Rara putting up with all this love horse fodder.
Either this plan will go horribly wrong or horribly right.
Heeeere goes nothing...
I was melting from all the sap, you know, in a good way. Squee... a really good way.
Just imagine if AJ had rejected that confession in front of the whole of Equestria! That kind of pressure to accept it! Luckily, it's obvious that AJ likes her back.
D'awwwww This is perfect. Just perfect.
TEAAAAAAM APPLEDASH!
This is probably the one of the best Appledash fanfics I've ever read on this site. Great control of the characters, the three-way relationships, the plot pacing, extra sweet and romantic fluff (I swooned over this so many times I swear) while the challenges and their resolutions are realistic, most of all making sure that there were actual signs of Applejack's reciprocation and it didn't feel like pity in the end (which is something lacking in too many fanfics here, seriously). I loved every bit of this story and I hope to write like this someday. Three cheers for Appledash!

this comment warmed my Appledash heart 💖✨ thank you so much for the support and appreciation. you’re awesome :)
no words, just EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Always love the trope of "everyone can tell except for the two actually in love" it's my favorite thing
Softttt

yay!! i’m glad ur enjoying it 🥰
I’m excited to see how this unfolds.
Rara’s character was a little all over the place in the last three chapters. Sometimes, it seems like she just wants to encourage AJ and RD’s relationship and is really supportive and, at other times, it seems like she deliberately wants to provoke Rainbow. I’d get it if this was just Rainbow Dash’s perception of Rara, but it’s not. It’s a little confusing.
The anticipation is killing me!
Awww!

Hi friend! This is (mainly) written in limited omniscient pov, so Rainbow’s perception of Rara is dramatically shifting throughout the story. It’s why Rara herself seems different 😭 My apologies if it’s confusing, and thank you for the feedback! It’s great to know if/when I want to write again :)
Waittttt, I'm rereading this story (I read it the first time on different site) and I just realized, is M.Fleur non-binary?? If so, then that makes me so happy! I haven't read any MLP stories with non binary characters so far, and it's so good to see a pony who uses they/them pronouns
10589894
yes, M. Fleur is non-binary and uses they/them pronouns 🥰 i also haven’t seen that representation in mlp fanfics, so i wrote my story’s only OC with the goal of having that representation
10589894
and it makes me so so SO happy you liked the story enough to reread it 🥰❤️ this actually made my day, im so glad you liked it
Dude, I am in tears🥺
The whole Tallulah thing absolutely sent me over the edge. This is too beautiful for words🥲
10593856
omg thank you so much 🥺🥺 it makes me so happy that you’re enjoying my story
Spitfire’s just like:
*sips tea in I know you’re gay*
hi!! hope you’re having a good day! :]
i don’t normally like to leave comments, but with this story i had to say something. i’m not exaggerating when i say that i’ve read this fic, all the way through, from the first word to the very last, at least 5 or 6 times already. since the very first time i read it, i was just so in love with the way you set up the chapters, your writing style, and oh my GOSH. what i absolutely love about this fic is that you add in all these little minuscule, insignificant details from the series and translate them into something that feels realistic (for ex, when rainbow wasn’t able to be seen in the audience at that last performance in the mane attraction, for whatever reason - you translated that into something relating to how rainbow felt towards rara, which i just thought was so cool?? and the “what an athlete!” repetition, a reference that i didn’t even realize until i watched ‘applebuck season’ again the other day,,, not to mention all the little appledash hints throughout the series that you pointed out).
also - the tallulah thing. gosh, that chapter just melts me down every time (in a very, very good way). it’s so cute and sweet.
recently i’ve been going on an appledash fic reading spree, if you will, and this is still one of the best ones i’ve read so far. i’m in love with the whole thing. apologies for raving on and on about it, i just couldn’t help myself :’) thank you so much for writing it!! sending warm wishes your way
This was a wonderful story with an adorable ending.
This is how we should all call her now.
The Applejack.

I just wanted to say thank you: thank you for being brave enough to reach out, for leaving such a beautiful comment, and for being so honest. It’s made me beyond happy to, by chance, return to this story and see your reaction to it. To know that someone picked up on my small details, that someone has reread this again and again… It’s made me so, so happy. You’re amazing and I’m glad I got to share my writing with you <3
OHMYGOD THIS WAS SO AMAZING TO READ IM SO HAPPY YOU MADE THIS FIC 😭 it was warm, hilarious, and soft all at once, I’m like 2 years late with this review but just wow thank you so much for making this fic it’s everything I’ve always wanted 😭💕
literally. the best. story. appledash OMGOSHOMDDOSMSKX YOU DO NOT REPRESENT WHAT FEELINGS I EXPERIENCE DURING READING. THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL, I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE END. And sorry for my english, I'm not an english speaker
IT WAS INCREDIBLE!! I SCREAMED LIKE A LITTLE INNOCENT CHILD
Does this insinuate that Rara is gay too?.
I was wondering if you took inspiration from the very last episode of MLP FIM!. AJ and RD were acting like a couple.
