To save her family and home, Applejack the Peasant would travel across Equestria through many hardships, even rescue a Princess from a dragon keep.
But now the journey back, that’s what she considered the problem.
After all, escorting Princess Rarity across the country safely would be nothing but a nuisance.
Because of course, A Princess and a Peasant could never get along.
And naturally, A Princess and a Peasant could never fall in love.
…But there’s a first time for everything.
(That’s right. I took the baseline of the story of Shrek 1 and I made it about Rarijack; And it’s glorious)
Chapters (11)
this is the funniest shit ever. I love rarijack so much
Not to mention she may or may not be my aunt?
This is genuinely amazing! Keep up the good work!
Two questions...
Why are some dialogues in italics? I can't figure it out.
I may be wrongly speculating, but there are parts in these two chapters here and there that make me think that you wrote the storyt with characters like Anthros in mind. So why present this story with the characters as ponies?
11846095
nope, no anthros, just ponies, i just make them a bit more flexible. also it's usualy in italics to highlight tone or emphacize words!
Already I love this so much. I'm a bit nervous about how the "third-act misunderstanding scene" as i call it will be portrayed here (i always had my own problems with that part of the movie but i'll spare you my rant) if at all but regardless that won't taint my love for the story as a whole.
11846571
Oh let me set your mind at ease, i will not be following the same plot beats as shrek, there will be no third act misunderstanding, heh. the third act will be VERY diffrent, and generaly will have a lot of new sequences! :3
Is is Sunset Shimmer? I hear that Twilight needed her...BADLY
Yeah I too don't like that AJ's strength in official stuff is inconsistent.
Also, yes, I very much would sit.
11848560
Heheh, indeed. I seen you around on tumblr, a rarijack enjoyer like myself! i hope you're enjoying this fic! Stay tuned, cause it's gonna get steamy! Have a good one =v=
This line here had me genuinely laughing my ass off but i really wanna praise how you've written Pinkie here I absolutely love her dynamic in the main trio you've established! She is so fun to read and the same as well with everyone else I encounter in this fic! Great work and can't wait to read more
11858093
Thank you!!! i wanted to keep her cooky dynamic while also making a constructive confidant for all the players in this story! a genuine support for the two protagonists heheh. Also the part where she tries using rainbow dash as a drive through literaly made me laugh so hard *as* i was writing it and this shit never happens lmao THANKU ✨✨✨
These chapters keep getting longer and longer, not that I mind. I like it. A lot.
Also, those dream sequences:

11861502
YEAH THINGS ARE GETTING STEAMY ON THEIR SUBCONCIOUS
i only halfway promise that these chapters will not continue to get even longer lmao. Hopefully i can reach some sort of average word count x3
glad to see you're enjoying it!
11861577
I wonder if things would get steamy when they're conscious11861649
The answer may come sooner than expected heheheh >:3c
This just keeps getting better and better!! It's driving me crazy in the best of ways and I can't remember the last time I was so excited to read the next chapter of anything just as I am for this.
I don't know if I've mentioned it before but I wanna praise how the conflict hasn't felt so much forced on to the narrative here. Both Applejack and Rarity have so much riding on this quest's completion and its got me VERY much hooked on the question of how it'll all resolve.
11864276
HELL YEAh i'm very happy you're hyped! I have a nack for making conflict compelling heheh. It's all in the need vs the want 😎 and very much on the character driven aspect!
I've had the time of my life with motivation and drive on this heheh. It's been a delight to write!
Gosh, it sure is getting pretty hot in here...
With AJ being a noob when it comes to intimacy, I am now reminded of this meme again:
pbs.twimg.com/media/F_fShxBWQAA8PWP?format=jpg&name=large
11864752
lmao i think a rarijack artist has drawn that before; its friggin funny.
Rarity be like hmm yes she doesnt know how to intimacy. but i can teach her
god the goodbye really hurts.... this has been SO good. Love that sunset cameo. I can't wait for the next time
Bruh... God... Damn... Just like that, their happiness is gone.
Will they ever make out again??? I mean-- Will they ever see each other again???? ;_;
HAH AMAZING lLOVING this so gar

MENTAL DEFENSES SHATTERED BY 1 WORD
This was a sad moment but I can't help but laugh remembering that comic you did similar to this.
11867942
The haunting of the carroussel boutique is a banger; but lets face it, if applejack from the princess and the peasant saw this, she would understand lmao
A simple "i'll take it from here" would suffice, heh
sooo cute! love the conflict and how you incorporate the show’s influences and dialogue into it while also adding in pieces from shrek AND your own story! its super compelling and i’m loving every chapter
11872079
Thank you! I'm taking bits and pieces from multiple things and making my own thing out of it; in later chapters there is essentialy no shrek left, nyeh. So glad you're loving it!!!
Okay so I don't know how to even word this but aaaaaaa
THIS WAS SO GOOD! Before starting to read through this, I wasn't much of a reader in general, I'd blame it my mind not really being able to imagine things at all (theater of the mind is kind of important for written works, from what I've been told by others) and school just making me despise reading.
Aaaannnyways, this brought that interest back! Honestly I also struggle a lot with feeling any kind of emotions from media, but this is like... The second time fiction has made me almost cry (looking at you, The Truth of the Heart); speaking of, favourtie chapter is a 3-way tie with TTotH, The Heart Stays True and The Nightmare Vs The Dream (I can't dream so I always find the concept of dream sequences in fiction cool), though River of Fireflies is also great.
I am most certainly going to read some of your older works and will patiently wait for whatever comes in the future :3
11873056
Heck yes i'm so glad i inspired you to read!! It's definitely hard nowdays to find time and patience to read a long form thing; but i'm utterly delighted that you managed to read all the way through this. As for my other works, there's 3 small fics, and one big one (thankfully not as big as this one) You might enjoy if you're a fan of Sunset and Twilight!
And yes there will be more of my writing in the future =v= Though i need to force myself to take a break lmao. thanks for reading!!
11873083
The issue for me is less the time and the patience, usually it's more about it feeling like an impossible task when I see like "100k words", which granted. You did write 100,000 words 100,308 to be specific, but thanks to this site's formatting I didn't realise until you posted the final chapter hehe.
Knowing me I'll probably also read the big fic in like... A day. I do NOT know what self control is x3
Honestly also kind of sort of tempted to start writing myself? I'd definitely need help because that feels like a massive task, even for smaller fics.
Also-also, enjoy your break! You deserve it for sure.
11873129
I definitely know what you mean, i see "48 chapters" and i just leaaaave. Who has the time! but its a shame, cause even long form fics can be good (like hopefully, for example, this one, heh)
I wish you the best of luck with writing! and im glad that my own writing may have inspired you even if a little =v= it's not for everybody but i for one adore it!
Man I'm full, thanks for this 100k word rarijack feast! It was delicious!

I'd love to try singing this ngl
11873948
That's a really sweet sentiment but i am not a songwriter; i doubt it came out coherent to sing x3
11873885
Very glad you liked it! I hope more rarijack fans get to see this one; i'm tremendously proud of how it wound up, finale and all! =v=
YOU ARE NOT IMMUNE TO RARITY BELLE
i can fix her
11874110
THIS IS NORMAL FOR HER. THIS IS HER POWER
Damn! these bitches gay! good for them good for them!
