Rainbow Dash struggles to figure out why Pinkie Pie keeps acting weird, and seems so happy about spending Hearts and Hooves with hanging out with her, while also puzzling over the fact that Cloud Kicker and Blossomforth seem to be going out of their way to help the two of them enjoy the day.

Cloud Kicker and Blossomforth need to have their own tags, because they're awesome characters who deserve to have more stories written about them.

Has a semi-sequel-follow-up-side-story:"The Life and Times of a Winning Pony."

Many years after sending her beloved protege to Ponyville, unease sits heavily on Princess Celestia's heart as her relationship with Twilight Sparkle seems to have cooled despite all they've accomplished together. On the advice of her sister, Celestia sets out to investigate and resolve the lost connection with her most faithful student. What does it mean to be a Faithful Student...or a Princess of the Sun?

Earned a six-star rating on Equestria Daily and featured on its very own TVTropes page!.

I have cancelled any furthering of this fanfic. I have lost interest in writing about pairings that include the mane 6 mainly because they're so susceptible to canon changes. Hopefully what is written here is enjoyable enough. :)

A collection of stories describing Fluttershy and Applejack's relationship. All of the stories were previously published as separate stories, however I decided to combine them all into one neat collection of stories.

Each story so far:

1. A Family Affair:
Just a few days into their relationship, Applejack and Fluttershy are already faced with with their first test as a couple when Applejack is kicked from her home in Sweet Apple Acres just because she chose to be with Fluttershy. How will she fix things with her family and stay with the one she loves?

2. A Double Double Date:
A nervous Applejack and content Fluttershy go on their first date with their friends Lyra and BonBon.

3. Buckwheat:
Applejack's past comes back to haunt her and Fluttershy, as her ex Buckwheat comes to Ponyville searching to get back with the orange pony. This situation puts their relationship to the test again, while Fluttershy's personal struggle with confidence (or lack there-of) takes it tole on her.

4. Photo Finished:
Applejack and Fluttershy run into Photo Finish at a parade they starred in, and are pulled into another photo shoot with Lyra and BonBon. Things don't go over so well, and Applejack develops a disliking for Lyra when she pokes fun at the mare for her poor performance during the Photo Shoot.

5. Motionless:
After a receiving a letter from Braeburn, Applejack is summoned to Appleloosa to fight against a raging fire that threatens the existence of the whole town. Even through Fluttershy's persistent worrying, she goes; leaving Fluttershy in Ponyville, worried about her mare. After arriving in Appleloosa, Applejack joins the fight alongside Big Macintosh and others. After hours of exhausting fire-fighting, backbreaking work over the night, sudden disaster strikes leaving Applejack unconscious and helpless; in the middle of a rapidly growing fire.

6. The Dilemma:
When a mare-couple like Applejack and Fluttershy get more and more serious, there are always questions that linger in the back of their minds, some they may delay asking due to the happiness they receive just from being together. But after nearly three months of being together and knowing they're way beyond just 'exploring their feelings for each other', Fluttershy brings up the question, 'When the time comes, how would we ever have a foal of our own?'

Knowing this is something they cannot solve just by themselves, they go to their friends Lyra and BonBon for some help, and a possible answer to their dilemma, just not in the way they may have expected.

7. A Slip of the Tongue: (Co-Written with Destructio 23)

Rarity has been blessed with the opportunity to have her fashions presented at the annual 'Divine Equine' fashion show in Canterlot, and invites the group to tag along for support. Not inclined to stop doing what a normal couple does in public, Applejack and Fluttershy soon start noticing the judgmental eyes of the posh Canterlot ponies, but try to ignore it as usual. However, when an encounter with a posh socialite of Canterlot puts Applejack in a terrible mood, it leads her to a breaking point that could just ruin everything between her and Fluttershy.

Fluttershy comes to Rarity looking for advice on what to do about an unrequited crush ... but Rarity has a few secrets of her own, and may not be the right mare to ask after all.

A harsh storm brings Rainbow into Twilight's home. However, she soon discovers something about her friend that will cause a downward spiral in their relationship, many bruises, and broken bones as they attempt to right the wrongs fate has bestowed them.

The two find themselves closer than ever as they experience the world in a way they'd never expect. Will they survive?

This is a realistic view on how shipping would actually happen in the show. Almost every pony has been shipped with everypony else, but this is what would actually happen if two ponies ever attempted at a relationship.

...

No offense to any shippers, even though you shouldn't take any. If anypony would like to see any other shippings done on this fic, just leave a comment. Maybe I'll write it if I feel like it.

Everyone needs a hero. Even heroes. Especially heroes.
