"Gotta be honest with you two, I think 'war' ought to be a curse word. You know what they say; it's Tartarus."
Applejack shook her head. "No, I gotta disagree there. War's war; Tartarus is Tartarus. War's worse."
Rainbow Dash raised a red eyebrow. "Yeah? How d'ya figure?"
"Good creatures don't go to Tartarus."
In a time that never existed, two unlikely ponies find solace in each other.
Written for the M/M Shipping Contest. Takes place in Sombra's Bad Future. Big Macintosh x Soarin, with hinted Applejack x Rainbow Dash near the end.
