Definitely an interesting dynamic between the two characters. The whole story happened very naturally- that's something missing from most ship stories.
This fic wasn't problem free for me. I stumbled over the beginning at a few parts where point of view shifts were a bit jarring or the descriptions of the feelings violated writing guidelines.
You did, however, deftly handle the descriptions or romance with beauty, and introduced some backstory to AJ that was interesting and I was sad to see it not really go anywhere after the make out.
Thank you again, Buttersc0tch Sundae. Applejack/Rarity has probably become my favorite coupling, and your story is largely responsible.
This story is beautiful, and supremely well done. The characters are wonderfully in-form. But we get a deeper look into our favorite ponies, featuring a peek into the childhood and heart of Applejack.
There were heart-wrenching moments throughout, and a warm, tender ending.
Ok, this has GOT to be a conspiracy. All the RariJack stuff last week made me think of this story again, and then it just so happens to pop up here. This is obviously some twisted plot to distract me from getting anything accomplished by overloading me with my OTP. Well congratulations, because it's working :P
Good to see this getting more attention, I'm not big on Rarity and AJ, but Butterscotch has persuaded me to read pairings I'm not sure on more than once now!
And I'm still half-sure Rainbow knows what's up. The Dash knows all.
Wow, I did not expect that to be so beautiful and honest. I keep expecting to read an annoying love-story on here, but you ponies keep making me "d'aaaw" with a glimpse of stirring love. I definitely like the Applejack/Rarity dynamic now, and i'll certainly keep this fic in mind when deciding my favorite ship-couples. Well done.
Cute. Loved the "fade" between annoying each other and loving each other. I'm very glad it was posted here otherwise I'd have missed out on a beautiful fan-fiction! Thanks for posting this. ^^

ReplyDeleteLove this story. Seriously, this is headcanon, if only because it's written so well.
ReplyDeleteI loved this just as much reading it now as I did when it was posted, it is very well done.

ReplyDeleteFor anypony who doesn't know, this is based off of "Brokeback Mountain", a short-story and film about two bi-curious cowboys. Herp-a-derp.
