Oh, there is going to be more than one part to this? I thought it was cute as it's own little self-contained story...

Not a bad story. I normally dont like shipping but this one peaked my curiosity. I am just as surprise as everyone though that Rainbow Dash of all the mane cast was shipped with a male pony!

Anonymous said...

It's not that surprising to see Rainbow shipped with a male pony. She's running out female ponies to be shipped with so this is the next logical conclusion.

We all know Dash swings both ways.

FYI the official spelling for his name is Soarin' (yes including the apostrophe). Lauren Faust said so.

Gah, that means I have to change his name through the entire story now :P

Alright. I'll change it later.
Can seth update stuff with out bumping it to the top?

9Nine9 said...

@Vopogon
I'd like to proof read for you. It's not often a good multi-chapter ship gets released that actually starts before the actual crush. Hell, 90% of the stories on this site seem to start at infatuation. Heh.

shoot me an email so I have yours. I'd like to comment on this chapter as well.

@Vopogon
Oh, and yes he can, heh. Changing a few words around is easy.

I usually hate shipping stories because there are sooo many of them, like a swarm of hungry parasprites.

STRAIGHT DASH SHIPPING? WHAT HAS THE WORLD COME TO?

Beese said...

Well Vopo, got to say this is a good read.

I'll like to read more from you.

NinesTempest said...

I just looked up Vopogon, Seems like he wrote the braeburn/TS fic that nobody liked (myself included).

This is a vast improvement on that writing, sir. It's like you're a different author. I'd love to see more.

DashxSpitfire is the best ship next to Pinkie Dash.

Everytime Dash is shipped with guy, everyone has to point it out like its a big deal.

Yeaahh, the Braeburn one was a piece of horse apples.

I'd prefer to forget that one...


Also, I edited his name in the story, so it's the correct spelling.

NO I WILL SHIP DASH WITH SPITFIRE FIRST!

NinesTempest said...

@Narwhals' Bend
Welp, if you're already starting it then you're ahead of me, as I haven't started mine yet <_< finals today...

Vopogon said...

Dash and spitfire had sex. The end.


I SHIPPED DASH AND SPITFIRE FIRST MOTHER HUMPERS, WHAT NOW?!

Star Whistle said...

@Vopogon
It's not really 'relationshipping' if they just had a one-night stand.

You'll have to do better than that :P

Vopogon said...

Dash and Spitfire had sex, got married, grew old together then died in each others arms.

Better? :P

Anonymous said...

STRAIGHT DASH? on my EqD? Its more likely then you think

Dash / Soarin' / Spitfire had a 3-way. The End.

Muppetz said...

Alright i hate to be one of "those guys" but isnt Dash's house Just like a floating cloud house in Ponyville? or did i miss something in the story that explained why she was going all the way back to Cloudsdale

Vopogon said...

Isn't Cloudsdale RIGHT above Ponyville?

Outline said...

Liked this one despite a natural aversion to shipping fics in general... it's certainly earned the "sweet" and "lighthearted" tags. I'm not 100% convinced this story needs additional chapters, it's quite good enough as a self-contained vignette.

@Vopogon
Yes, Spitfire x Soarin' shipping.

Vopogon said...

@Anon

I don't really care much who it's with. I just like a good ship fic. But I do want to see moar Spitfire.

Which is strange if you think about it... I'm sitting here in my [Redacted] Fire Department uniform, getting ready to go cut holes in rooves with chainsaws, and I'm here writing about cartoon ponies falling in love.

confound these ponies, they drive me to... I don't even know.

NinesTempest said...

@Narwhals' BendI shall have mine started before the days end.

Narwhals' Bend said...

@NinesTempest
NOOOOOO! Yours will probably be better than mine anyway. Good luck. I'll probably start mine tomorrow.

Hmmm. I think I could actually ship this.

Buuuut... it needs to be about 20% cuter. See to it!

the (fallen) Princess Luna said...

From what we've seen, Cloudsdale is actually between Ponyville and Canterlot.
Dash flew from Cloudsdale towards Ponyville during the race.
AJ saw the rainboom leading to Ponyville after the sun rose in the distance.
Since the sun was behind Ponyville, Manehatten was wasterly of Ponyville and south of Cloudsdale.
Lauren said Canterlot was North-Eastish of Ponyville.

I enjoyed the story a whole lot and I personally like the idea of more chapters.

Dash needs someone who can keep pace with her and Soarin' is perfect for that. And he's a loveable goofball.

Anonymous said...

there has to be another part because it was so good

LordOfTheWrongs said...

I like the idea of others piggybacking on Dash's rainboom. Now I'm picturing the whole team doing that in formation! I get the sense that a rainboom requires something beyond just a high-performance pegasus, or it wouldn't be "a legend" or "old mare's tale". Every generation must contain at least a few pegasi as fast as Dash, after all!

G.G. Gala said...

@LordOfTheWrongs

IIRC, to make the Sonic Rainboom you gotta be fast enough to break the sound barrier (which is probably rare, but not legendary) *and* have a rainbow-colored mane (which I'm guessing is also pretty rare, since Dash is the only one we've ever seen in the show), so rare thing * rare thing = near-mythical. It's just science.

Star Whistle said...

@G.G. Gala
Well... you'd probably need a rainbow trail. But that's not the same as mane - all the thunderbolts can produce that black smoke/stormcloud trail, after all.

I'm curious how pegasus trails come about, and what you can do to create a different one.

NinesTempest said...

Hey

Your ORIGINAL DRAFT did not include the 11 months thing. Damnit author!

Star Whistle said...

Pleasant story, so far. Very convenient for the characters, until the 'no fraternizing' revelation.

I keep wanting Dash to do something brash, though. She's frustratingly passive. I'd much prefer something like, "Screw that, let's date." and then put it on the Wonderbolts whether or not to refuse her as a consequence.

Also, payments to women you've knocked up is generally called child support, or alimony, not welfare.

Anonymous said...

HETEROSEXUAL shipping? This I got to see.

Cottonmouth said...

I quite like it.

At some points it suffers from the "WHY AM I FEELING THESE FUNNY FEELINGS IN MY STOMACH IT COULDNT BE THAT IM IN LOVE COULD IT?" moments.

Still, you succeed in other moments, such as Dash feeling her house is suddenly empty.

I think instead of "funny feelings", you could have built upon this, such as mentioning how Dash never considered her home 'empty' before she met Soaren.

Also, there were 2 points in the story where you repeated yourself. Probably just a minor error though.

For some reason, although the "Our love is forbidden" came up rather quickly, it also didn't seem to feel too forced. Perhaps because it is slightly believable among a group of professionals.

Overall, good work! Look forward to more.

Vopogon said...

This is why I prefer Google Docs, haha.

Lemme see if I can get those FF links working.

There is nothing wrong with a heterosexual Dash people, I myself am a fan of lesbians. but, I think a little variety isn't gonna kill anyone.

Minalkra said...

uhm, there was some repetition. 'she preferred to order out' was used twice really close together. and, uh, there was another thing that was kinda repetitious but other than those two things, nothing else leaps out. uhm, sorry.

overall i liked it. solid writing, good characterization. i liked it. so, uhm, yeah ... sorry about pointing that other stuff out. sorry.

It actually makes some sense. Soarin', from what we've seen of him, is just as earthy as Rainbow pull-my-hoof Dash. If she ever made the squad, he'd be a natural friend.

Son of a bitch.

I like a shipfic.

Nova25 said...

>And for those who are confused: Cloudsdale is somewhere just above ponyville, or at least Rainbow Dash’s home is.

-Hmm, in fact... Cloudsdale is a bit far from Ponyville. It creates some triangle with Ponyville-Cloudsdale-Canterlot. (we get a few hints in the show of that)

Nova25 said...

>“WonderboltsAren’tAllowedToBeRomanticallyInvolvedWithTheOtherWonderboltsOrElseThey’reKickedOut!”

-...well, what a stupid rule, and VERY oddly convinient to create some weak *artificial* drama ?

Seriously... What kind of restriction is this ?

They might have the rights to forbid relations on the terrain, during training, and during Shows and Tours (In a few words : when they are in uniform), but there NO WAY they have the *LEGAL* rights on the life of ponies OUTSIDE the actual 'job' of Wonderbolts.

This is simply a non-sense.

Timber said...

@Nova25 I couldn't agree more. I'm all for elite groups having their own rules, but that one sounds just unfair and stupid.

Can't imagine it hasn't caused other problems.

Desert Rose said...

I have to say I really prefer these straight shipping fics
And this one as amazing, i want to believe

Nova25 said...

@Timber
That rule isn't just unfair and stupid... It just cannot be possible!

By human standards, this isn't legal... By pony standards, well, same a human, and even MORE since Equestria in itself is a country with high freedom.
(You know... Friendship ? Harmony ? Their lives evolve around those things... There's no way this rule can be remotely acceptable, even in a story.)

Timber said...

@Nova25 Even though I don't like the rule, it IS an elite unit, and they can make up any rule they like. It's not illegal per-se. Really, I can see why they would institute such a rule (don't mean to flip-flop here but I gotta play devil's advocate).

If there's emotional strife in an elite show unit, there could be problems during a show, especially if it's a dangerous show. If one of the flyers is busy thinking about an argument they had with his lover/teammate, then he may miss his mark by enough to cause a serious accident. Granted, this could happen anyway without an inter-team relationship, but it's the team's way of trying to curb the problem before it develops.

Similarly, it curbs drama and team breaking if said relationship does not work out. Team cohesion is vital, and any break in it spells disaster.

Like I said, I'm not for the rule by any means. I just see the reasons why they'd implement it.

Anonymous said...

spitfire? i thought that was a jet in WW2

Timber said...

@Anonymous Not a jet. British fighter. The best one they had. Used variants of it all throughout the war.

Nova25 said...

@Timber
Rules of clubs and groups apply to the individual of the group and to the group itself, as long as they are related to them, within reasonable parameters of liberty and freedom. (might have to rephrase that a bit, but you get the idea).

They cannot have rules that apply OUTSIDE the limit that is their ''Group'' (Wonderbolts), when they aren't in ''Wonderbolts duty''.

As an easy and clear exemple :
-Your boss cannot make a company rule stating that employes cannot be with other employes outside of work.
BUT!, they can apply this rule WHEN the employes are working, since they fall under the limit that is the company.
When NOT working and outside the limit of the company... They are freaking free to do whatever they want! (within the rules and regulation of the city/country/etc, of course).

So... in a few words... The Wonderbolt cannot LEGALLY apply this rule outside of their work. Only when working or during events when they represent the Wonderbolts (since it falls under being a Wonderbolt).

Timber said...

@Nova25 You're assuming they fall under normal laws. This is an entirely differend law system. A monarchy. Equestrian law may mimic human law but not so strictly. Remember that this is (sadly) a made-up existence. The law could exist where a private group/business could make that rule and it be legally binding.

I still don't like it, but again, devil's advocate.

Nova25 said...

@Timber
May I remember you that this show exist because people (Faust, etc.) decided to apply human concepts and logic to ponies ? (might be a rough way to state it, but you get the idea).

Also, they work under what is more like some sort of constitutional monarchy, than an absolute monarchy.

Finally, whatever the dimension, a law is a law. The content of the law itself may vary, but it should technically be applied the same way (for the sake of our sanity, we will limit the number of alt.Reality, mmh?).

...normal laws ? Never heard of abnormal laws, and you ?

But really... all this talking to come down to basicly this :
*Should we apply laws logically and reasonably, or to our own convinience ?*
(Personally, I say the first option is a bit better, don't you think ?)

Timber said...

@Nova25 Yes, they gave human concepts to ponies, or anthropomorphisized them. But that does not mean they gave them every human quality in existence. I agree about the constitutional monarchy, but if you've ever watched ANY show where there's dimentional travel (Sliders, Doctor Who, etc.) You'll notice that not every dimension has the exact same law as our or even the previous one. In one dimension, slavery is abolished, while in the next you're born with chains on your wrists.

Yes I have heard of Abnormal laws. Nazi treatment of jews? Tell me that wasn't normal. And YES they were laws enacted by the German gov't at the insistence of Hitler.

I do believe that your first option IS better, however who's to say that the Wonderbolts are a business? Its never actually stated that they get paid anything. It's like the Blue Angels or the Thunderbirds. True they're awesome, but as far as I know they don't get paid extra by the Navy/Air Force. It's more for the Honor and Prestige.

Nova25 said...

@Timber
The problem here is that you seem to forcibly combine the *Life When in Wonderbolts Uniform* and the *Life Outside the Wonderbolts Uniform*... They are 2 separate Entities.

Life at work... Life outside of work... They can be very close to one's eye, but they are separate nonetheless. (here, let's limit ourselves to those 2 dimensions...)

Everyone (and everypony) have a life outside of the hours where they work-(for a living or for duty/fame/etc), and that life OUTSIDE of work... being OUTISDE, separated, independant (insert synonyms) of it... isn't (and shouldn't be) controled by what is LIMITED to INSIDE the work.

Now... let's stop pretending that it's 'ok' and acceptable to have a stupid 'Rule from Work' to have control on your life 'Outside of Work' ...and let's remember that they are in Modern(relatively speaking) Equestria, and not WW2 Germany, mmh?

After all, this conversation might have dragged on a bit now.

Timber said...

@Nova25 I do have more to say on this, but you're right, we have drug this along for a little too long.

And I know they aren't in WWII Germany. It was just my answer to "Have you ever heard of an abnormal law."

Vopogon said...

At Timber and Nova:

It's not uncommon for groups to have policies like this, actually.

The Wonderbolts preform highly dangerous stunts, and if one of their members isn't at the top of their game because they're tired from the night out with another Wonderbolt, focused on them during flight, or going through a rough spot in their relationship, that's bad.

But really, the policy is common, and isn't "non-sense" or out of place.

Vopogon said...

I train with the Fire Dept. as an apprentice of sorts (not an official apprentice) and I know a married couple who are both firefighters. They work at different stations due to a similar policy.

Although, they're married. I don't see why the policy is still applicable. But it exists.

Timber said...

@Vopogon I know that. thats what I was trying to get across. I still don;t like it.

TenchiFreak5 said...

For those saying that the "no interoffice relationships" rule is unrealistic and not legal, I think I should mention that rules restricting behavior outside of work are very common in the real world. Today. In modern day America.

i had been waiting for chapter 3 for a long time and I loved the ending.
the story itself made me cry at parts it was so sad or even happy I love a good chick flick at times and this is definitively one of my favorite story's.
It was at least 20% cooler than the other story's I read.

absolutely Excellent! i could only dream for more fan fics this good. You should be very proud.

GaruuSpike said...

Awwwww yyyeeeaaahhh. Straight shipping.

This stuff is always, ALWAYS cute. I like it a lot more than the stereotypical lesbian shipping, mainly because I can actually relate to it.

Something to consider, Rainbow Dash and Soarin' seem to be able to do that lightning rainboom togeather. That stunt, and the fact thay can reproduce it would very likely get them past the 'no fratanizing' rules. nd if not, thay would probably be willing to make a special subset for a pair that can preform such stunts, but only togeather. Happens IRL actualy, though its rather uncommon. Also, something to consider, Soarin' has given her another dream in this story, one that, for her, might be more than just being part of the Wonderbolts.

Straight up shipping fics aren't really my thing, but even so I couldn't help but find myself feeling this one's definitely an exception to that rule. It just seemed to work together so naturally. All of my feelings for the ending can be summed up in one word though;

D'awwwwww~!

I have to say, for the most part of my life I've avoided fanfics outright. But since becoming a brony, I've dabbled in a few here and there. I'm not a fan of the more cloppier stuff, and I think this style of shipping is much nicer (My Dream Mare comes to mind as another I really liked).

However, I would probably have to say this is one of the best fics I've read, I found this to be really sweet, and I love the idea of Soarin and Dashie as a romantic couple. Really descriptive, had me hooked, and plenty of dawwwwww to boot. 5 stars from me, excellent work. ^^

Glad to finally get to read this last chapter. I think this was the first shipping story I ever read back when it started.
Good stuff!!

Thanks

zaptiftun said...

Nicely done, good sir, wonderful story.

Baree said...

Yeah, you see, now the problem is I want to see some sort of happy ending for Spitfire. Your own fault. Get to it!

Seriously though, I'm not sure how I feel about this ending. It fits. It does. So that's good. I certainly didn't think it was bad. I will probably just have to let it sink in a bit.

That... Was awesome! Read it all in one sitting! Worth it. Trevor EAGERLY awaits the next story from you, mah Brony! 8D It was very well-written overall, and refreshing to see RD shipped like a 'normal' character, in that she isn't gay. Thank you... =D

@Baree....


Hm...... Possible spinoff? Something to think about.

Mr.Cube said...

AWWWW, SOARIN IS QUITTING THE WONDERBOLTS, i thought his plan was to find a way to change the rules of being a wonderbolt, and be able to have them both be in :)

Twitchy3234 said...

This was great. :D relieved that someone finally made a non lesbo rainbow dash shipping ff

GaruuSpike said...

Just finished. I have to say that this fic is probably my absolute favorite out of ALL fics that I've read. Everything seemed to just go completely right in this one. <3 Goodjob.

Sandoval said...

Just finished reading, awesome story

Wapo said...

Vopo, I can't believe I've read all of this without realizing YOU wrote it! I feel so stupid. Great story!

20percentcooler said...

This was amazing. I really enjoyed this story and while I normally hate shipping fics, this is a clear exception and it was beautifuly done.
Mad props to you, the ending really lifted my day and its been awesome seeing this written.
Thanks for an awesome story, easilly my fave fanfic.
Awesome.

SkyrimOrBust said...

Best fic I've ever read. It was really an honor to read the pre-release version of Chapter 3, and I'll do it again for anything Vopo has to offer.

*Crosses fingers for 6-star*

Derpmind said...

Once again it falls to me to put out the third road, the other choice, the obvious way outside the box. Crazy fan theory sez: Rainbow Dash and Soarin' form their own stunt team that becomes better than the Wonderbolts. Because Love is Magic. ;D
