I just got done, reading Mortal Coil by reeve, and absolutely loved Rarity in it, do any of you guys have recommendation of stories of Rarity being a complete badass?

Do you mind self-promotion?

Salty blood ran down the back of Rarity's throat. Her neck throbbed with whiplash, and her muzzle bent at a funny angle at the bottom edge of her vision. Pain flared with her pounding heartbeat and oh sweet Celestia it hurt.

She shook her head, clearing her thoughts. 

I never told Mother and Father goodbye, she realized. I never told Sweetie Belle goodbye. Oh, by Celestia and Luna, I don't want to die in this cavern.

Blood poured from her shattered nose to the floor.

She looked over her shoulder, judging the distance to her escape. 

Then she looked back at the alpha Diamond Dog. Those four fillies didn't get to tell anypony goodbye, either.

She stomped back to Rex and poked him in the belly again. "I'll forgive that this once, darling, if you give me back our foals!"

In other shameless acts of self promotion, try reading En Garde!

Admittedly, it's Human!Rarity, but that just means it's easier for her to hold a sword. Had a lot of fun writing this'un, at least.

The next two aren't "badass" in terms of fighting prowess, but I think they might still qualify in a more general sense, so:

Badass Rarity, you say? Well, I'd recommend ANYTHING written by Azure Sandora, particularly Code Lyoko EG and Chrono Reflect.

If we’re self-promoting, then I’ll put this baby out there.

This Rarity spends a long time running and hiding, but she’s got more brains and persuasiveness than anyone can handle.

Here's some stories that you might enjoy. The first two pretty much show that Rarity is far more than she appears while the third as an interesting twist to Rarity as well as everything being badass. In my opinion anyway.

I've seen that story before, never caught my attention, but if Rarity awesome in this, i'll give it a look, thanks

7216747
ok, thank you, i'll give it a look,
