Nightmare Moon's takeover was swift. The kingdom, the night and day, the guard, and even over the ponies who wielded the elements against her. Each one under her hoof in some way.
Except one.
Applejack has been leading a resistance group for a couple years but only now is it something needing to be truly squashed.
Nightmare's most loyal right hoof mare Captain Rainbow Dash is assigned to take her little rebellion down, but it doesn't go quite how dash expected. For one, she didn't think she would fall for her enemy.
Surely nothing good can come from heaven and hell uniting?

Good premise. I love dark AU. Really interested to learn more of their backstories, and how this ship will sail!

we really need more badass!AJ
excited to see where this goes
An interesting premise, and more than a few story hooks laid there !
Didn't see any egregious spelling mistakes, maybe a few times the tense was off ? But nothing to detract from the story

Awesome! AppleDash is the ship that sailed me into the fandom, way back when.
And now FEATURED, 2023-12-05!
This is such a interesting idea!!! I really love their dynamics and can’t wait to see what happens next!
Hum... There's definitly something about Fluttershy. There might be some link to this whole "Public execution" thing mentionned earlier
Good back and forth, I'm wondering what Nightmare Moon will have to say when Rainbow get back there. Having nothing to show short of a wound probably won't please her ruler

Something ab em indeed! Also yep I'm trying to expand the story beyond just appledash, def developing more characters in the story! Some of the m6 and I have something cool for flutters later
Also on nmm, remember dash is an overachiever. Think back on what nmm said in the instruction letter
So glad ur enjoying it!
Flutterdash?!!
Now that's something you don't see often (at least not in appledash fics lol)
11774728
I wonder what could've happened to em
11774723
) !
You're right, I kinda forgot the details of the letter, and... mission accomplished (sorta
Still, quite the blow on the ego... and the main mean of transportation, I shall had. The kind that leave marks, and not the cuty kind ^^

Please please please tell me that there won't be rarijack
11775400
Err not sure where u got that from? Rarity is def a more minor character in the story and aj and rares only became actual friends after the pilots which obv didn't happen here lol.
Generally the friend structure I'm going with of pre nmm takeover is:
Dash and aj good friends, Dash and flutters besties, and then pinkies good friends with everypony bc obv.
Ooh dramaaaa~
I do see Applejack going home from time to time, attached that she is to it. And in the traditionnal fashion of opposite attracting each over, a meeting might be happening soon enough
so excited for the next part!

Oh pining …
You know it's a bad universe when Dash give Scootaloo a (verbal) beating ! As always, curious to see how it plays out !
Can’t wait for the next chapter!
Hope you plan on updating
