Applejack finally gets time to herself while her family’s gone on a trip. However, instead of taking the time to relax on her own, she decides to invite Twilight over. After a long time of not seeing each other, they both regret not having spent more time together in the past, and do their best to remedy that.

Cover art made by an AI, edited by me just a bit to make two blobs that were there look like Twi and AJ hehe.

Oh man, I hope you like it :>
This story was pretty cute!
11006270
Thanks!
bleh
I wanted drunk Twilight
in any case, very cute story!
11006806
hehehehe i wanted drunk twilight too but i figured maybe better to have a sober twilight heheheh
and thanks!
Well damn.
Took me two weeks but I finally got around to reading this.
I should have read it sooner.
It is so good and natural. And you handled TwiJack very well. It's not a common ship, but you made it look like they belong together.
This was good and definitely deserves a place on my Best Ships shelf.
11028364
Haha I’m glad you read it ^^
And thanks! I was having trouble trying to make it seem natural since they (unfortunately) don’t get a lot of screentime together. I like the ship, though, so I definitely had to write it. Glad it came off well! Thank you for the comment :>
Twilight out here being so dense light friggin bends around her. AJ is sending out the biggest les bean energy possible you friggin dumb grape. She wants to be your GIRLFRIEND and do GAY HORSE KISSES and some POST-MARITAL HOOF-HOLDING YOU DUMBASS.
YES YES YES YES YES YES
This was the kind of good and wholesome romance that fits Applejack so well. TwiJack has always been lovely for skirting the lines between mature and dorky in ways that never cease to be endearing for me to see as a reader. You're a writing powerhouse, Jay, and everything I've read of your stuff continues a) to be some high-quality horse and b) include lots of AJ. Keep it up!
11092764
D’awww thank you. Your comments made my day :) I’m glad you enjoyed and I thank you very much for your kind words. What you said bout TwiJack is very true, and part of why I wanted to write them at least once. Again, thanks!
Also twilight purple grape is real funny hahah
11092797
Might I suggest: more than once.
11092806
No need to suggest what I want to do anyway B)
11092821
Of course, I'll simply suggest it harder.
Re-Reading this for my review and I must say it is a great first chapter.
Dense increased to 100
Let the kiss commence
Just as cute the 2nd time!
I’ll contact you when the review is done
11109683
Thanks :)
What a cute and beautiful story, definitely one of the best I've read as of recently. You're a very talented writer. Overall you did an phenomenal job!
I also wanna thank you for introducing me to such an amazing song. It made the story even more enjoyable for me. I've been listening to it heavily these past couple days lol.
11202520
Thanks so much for this comment! It really means a lot. I’m really glad you enjoyed the story and also that you enjoyed the song! It’s definitely one of those songs that kind of just latches on to you. Again, thanks :) You’re very kind
11202796
It's no problem at all, keep up the awesome work!
I definitely like your writing style. I'll be sure to check out more of your stuff. :)
11202916
Aw thanks! I hope you enjoy whatever you decide to check out :)
This is so cuute!

Thanks! Im glad you think so
aww Twilight is just so adorable when she's on one of her anxiety spirals
hehehe so cute! Applejack's mind is so focused on Twilight that she runs into a branch on her own farm augh
same
aww, it can be hard to not let having a favorite make you feel like you're valuing the alternatives less
this sounds like superstition but with the way magic works in this world, who knows?
aww, love earthpony magic
hey i said that first!
auaugh love this
ooh i am stealing the hell out of this headcanon
hoowee
this excitable Twilight is just so great
so true
augh the tension is so good
aww, that's a good explanation, and a nice casual slipping-in of the fact that Twilight controls the literal sun now nbd
poor pre-friendship Twilight! that must have been a worrying sight to Applejack and the rest
TwiJack real from the series pilot
oh wow that is suddenly really heavy
aww of course that is what she helps with
hoowee
so relatable
so relatable
hehe a perfect word choice
take the hint, AJ! take it!!!
i mean i'm pretty sure apple cider with alcohol content that high is just called applejack (heh)
augh yeah that feeling is the best in the world
hehe, "cantered". and yeah, the Everfree just got less and less intimidating as the seasons went on
love the word "hoofpath" unduly
nice save, AJ (that you didn't need to do at all!)
aww, that is so nice! always great to see more of Applejack's foalhood with her parents
dang AJ is it even possible for you to be down worse
aww that is so cute
dangit AJ get the hint!
terrible pun but i am glad a version of Bob Dylan exists in Equestria
this feels like that GIF of a truck about to ram into a pole but it keeps cutting to another angle of the same thing
hehehe and yeah i definitely expect alicorn metabolism to work differently, given Celestia and Twilight's food habits
so true
oof
aww, such a Twilight and Applejack interaction
i feel ya AJ
why is Twilight milky now? this is concerning
aww yeah otherwise any Twilight story would have to be interrupted by her making sure the world doesnt die twice a day every day
hehehe that was a fun episode
augh so true that is why it's perfect the series ended with her taking over
love all of this
dangit AJ of course that'll happen if you think about her butt tattoo
oof this is so good
so true about earthponies
hoof-holding? dang i didn't know this was an M-rated fic!
of course the lavender alicorn just smells like lavender
augh so true and it's so charming about her
hoowee
augh so good
aww but that was like the whole thing about the first season finale!
hehe that is an Applejack sentence
oof, ominous words
so true. i love how much she loves Twilight
yes... ha ha ha... YES!
yay lavender-tasting Twilight
i like this line
this is so good i am so happy for Applejack and Twilight augh
so true about pegasus fluff
such a Twilight way to describe a crush i love it
this is so sweet TwiJack real
again so very Twilight! and it's hard since Applejack is the character i could least imagine moving to Canterlot to be with Twilight
yes that song's lines are so perfect to reuse for a ship
such good TwiJack dynamic this is one of the many reasons it works
i mean she didn't really show up that much! it was always for Twilight and crisis-related stuff!
hehe yeah, that's one thing i really like about Mane Six ships actually. it's more a long and deep friendship adding a romantic dimension and it's so nice
and a great way to end it, with Twilight overcoming her anxieties enough to make her desires known, and that desire is more kisses. just wonderful
really loved this TwiJack, all of it is just so fluffy and good and beautifully described. this was exactly the kind of thing i needed to read right now, thank you for it!

Ah I’m so glad you liked it!!! And as always, your comments made me smile, thanks for them!!!
You'd think she'd learn about personal space after all this time but I guess she's still a shut in at heart.
She likes them nerdy I guess.
Probably would have prevented a whole lot if you'd just told her that in the first place.
Cute first chapter.
Starting to think there was another reason she invited Twilight over
*Insert innuendo here"
Nerd stereotyping. I thought you were better than that Applejack.
And somehow Twilight is still oblivious after that slow dance. Just gals being pals.
Cute chapter.
"You nearly falling off a cliff was really hot."
She can just teleport for lunch or something surely? Can't recall if long distance teleportation was a problem since it's been so long since I've watched the show.
Incredibly cute story. Never enough Twijack
11855446
I’m not sure if long distance teleportation is really a thing, I can’t recall it hppening canonically but I imagine it’d be very tiring. Also so true! There is definitely not enough Twijack… So I should definitely write more :P
