[Normal] [Shipping]
Author: Bronius Maximus
Description: Rainbow Dash finally did it! A sonic rainboom on command! Except she also managed to break every window in Applejack's farmhouse in the process. Now she has to pay for each one, and with her wages from managing the weather not nearly enough to cover the damage, she has to work on Applejack's farm for two whole weeks!At Home On The Range (Alternate Ending Part 15!)
Talk about cruel and unusual punishment. Still, maybe it wouldn't be all bad. At least she would get to hang out with her friend AJ right? Wrong.

VastaKustuta@MyBoyJ Well, the image on FiMFiction is RD and Macintosh kissing...

>Picture of Big Mac.
Who's getting shipped with who?
@MyBoyJ Perhaps it is an AppleMac story...
VastaKustutaDon't forget
VastaKustuta>No Applejack in the tags.
So the picture of Rainbow Dash and Big Macintosh kissing that's on Fimfiction is not fit for EQ Daily? Because it's really cute.
VastaKustuta@Select Few
VastaKustutaIt's apparently one of the (seemingly) rare straight ships with Rainbow Dash.
Either that, or Big Mac REALLY likes that barrel of cider...
@ScootalooIsBestPony
VastaKustutaThat would just be weird, and probably inappropriate for EqD.
Maybe she could just use some of her wages from working at the Rainbow Factory.
VastaKustutaWtf is up with Fimfiction? Keep getting a "Bad Gateway" message.
VastaKustutaGah sorry, not a fan of shipping. Looks interesting though.

VastaKustutavote for ghost at http://shortyawards.com/ghostpolitics, you know as a brony you must do!
VastaKustuta@MyBoyJ
VastaKustutaMac is all about that cider. I was having trouble finding macindash pics that were just the two of them together, not kissing or anything, so I just settled on fimfiction. the one I had originally was just weird looking to me, so I just caved and went with lip time for rainbow and mac.
i don't read straight ships outside of clop.
VastaKustutai just don't care for the dynamics of a straight ship, unless it's two background characters.
Sorry. =/
@MyBoyJ I regret even considering it... :(
VastaKustutaThis was a great casual read, very easy to get through. Consider me interested.
VastaKustutaThe ship in this story, I think, works well because it's one we don't see too often. It feels fresh and new, and I appreciate that.
Of course they aren't going to get along at first, they're almost polar opposites. But that just makes it more rewarding when they finally learn to get along. Sometimes it just takes someone almost dying.
Then...the big payoff. And I'll be ready for it.
Yikes, what is with the star rating here? 57 ratings and it's at 3.3 Seriously, what the hay?
VastaKustutaright. has everypony forgotten that dash is the CAPTAIN of the weather team? im sure she gets payed enough to fix some measly windows.
VastaKustutaI've been following this one. I love it so far!
VastaKustutaI seriously don't see RD with Big mac I'm skipping this one.
VastaKustuta@rockninja
VastaKustutafor the sake of the story, All her weather team cash goes to the payments on her house. Have you priced rainbow waterfalls lately? That shit isn't cheap.
@Derpmind
VastaKustutaBunch of haters.
The way it should be:
[shipping] + 1-star rating + rating in a time period insufficient to read the story = permanent IP-based siteban.
Some people think sabotage is funny. Me, I think that exit wounds, temporary crush cavities, and public disclosure of identities in the name of accountability are fucking hilarious. Wait til you see the punch line.
Ok, could someone PLEASE explain to me why this is getting such a horrendous star rating? Is there a secret group of a couple dozen trolls giving one-star ratings to stories? Is shipping suddenly out of season? Is the picture at top that boring?
VastaKustuta@Bronius Maximus
Every Pony city, town, village, barely-inhabited wasteland has Pegasus ponies doing weather-duty. I doubt that Dash, as the Weather Captain of what's a relatively small area of land, probably does most days completely by herself with exceptions for stuff that takes more ponies like storms and changing of seasons. The lore's easily fudgeable so that RD doesn't get paid much at all.
Eh. If I'm gonna read straight shipping (AKA Romance) it had better come insanely highly recommended.
VastaKustutaI like shipping, but in a comedy or as part of an adventure, preferably.
Buck the haters, I like this story. It's witty, and lighthearted (for the most part), and the personalities play nicely off of each other. Seriously, I can't think of a more yin and yang pairing.
VastaKustuta@OtterMatt
VastaKustutaThanks! I'm glad you guys like it! I may have been starbombed by some folk who don't like the pairing, but I would hope my fellow bronies would judge the fic on its story and character interactions rather than whether or not they like the idea of Rainbow Dash NOT being a lesbian for once. (though I have no problem with her being one. She is in my other fic, as a matter of fact.)
@DPV111
VastaKustutaI'd like to think of it as adventure with a side order of shipping.
Huh. I swear I read another Bronius Maximus fic here on EqD several months ago.
VastaKustutaEither that or the above pic was used for some other shipfic.
Either way, always a fan of a Big Mac story. Most relatable to me I feel, aha.
@Dave
VastaKustutaThey probably recycled the pic, as this is the first fic I've ever had on EqD. Either that, or someone is impersonating me. 0_0
I've been waiting forever for this update! What took you so long?! xD
VastaKustuta@speedgamer82 my pre-reader has a busy schedule, anytime the wait seems mad long, it's probably being edited.
VastaKustuta@Bronius Maximus Damn, that explains a lot actually, soooo.. how long ago did you send your update in??
VastaKustuta@speedgamer82
VastaKustutaIt usually takes him a day or two to get around to it, but he generally doesn't do much editing anymore. Now he just suggests expanding on ideas, or re-writing clunky transitions or sentences.
@Bronius Maximus Ohh? Who's the one overlooking and editing your story?
VastaKustuta@speedgamer82
VastaKustutathe guy who wrote "Why Didn't Ah Stay At Th' Farm?"
@Bronius MaximusAhhhh.... Never heard of it, heh. Are you almost done with another update?
VastaKustuta@speedgamer82 Yep, as a matter of fact, the only thing keeping me from posting it is my pre-reader is currently pre-reading it. Look for an update either late tonight (don't count on it) or tomorrow (more likely).
VastaKustuta@Bronius MaximusOh Cool! I thought you had given up writing the story altogether there, good to hear that another update is on its way!
VastaKustuta@speedgamer82 It's posted right NOW!
VastaKustuta@Bronius MaximusAnd i have READ it!! It was shorter than i had hoped V_V, but great job! Just remember i'm still looking forward to all your story updates! I check up on it all the time
VastaKustuta@Bronius MaximusBronius, where have thou gone? I've been looking for an update to this story for weeks!
VastaKustuta@speedgamer82 Fear not mortal, the next chap is only 700 words in so far. Also, this is the LAST CHAPTER.
VastaKustuta@Bronius Maximus*gasp* My most sincere apologies!! I was in the wrong to think i should rush you to completing this story update.. There's no need to rush, take your time, make it the best possible ending ever!!!
VastaKustutaFantastic story, from start to finish! Action, adventure, romance, it had it all! 5 stars, and I'm eagerly awaiting the sequel!
VastaKustuta~Kroqgar
It is DONE!
VastaKustuta@Bronius MaximusHave i ever told you how much i love you? Ha ha!! Thanks so much, that story update put a piece of unsettlement in my life at ease! Now i can look into other stories again, lol. Please do hurry with that sequel! I'm still gonna be checking on that!
VastaKustutaErm.. it's good that we have other comment system right now. :|
VastaKustutaCool Story, Bronius.
VastaKustutaI'm glad I stuck with it from start to finish. I was never disappointed, not for one minute. And the ending was SO satisfying. I'm excited that you're planning a sequel, I'm just wondering how you could possibly build on something like this. Surely though, it will be awesome.
Sethisto, I hate the old commenting system. PLEASE revert it back to IntenseDebate!
VastaKustutaSeriously, I HATE "first" comments!!
And so we return to the Olden Days, when we had no idea if anyone responded to our comments or not and were incapable of following anyone.
VastaKustutaGreat story. It was a believable and sweet romance, and a funny adventure.
VastaKustutaIf the new commenting system returns, it should have the option to use Google accounts.
Y'all can just relax. This story was made before we went over to the new system, so obviously it still has the old system. Any new posts they decide to cook up should have the new system. Until then, pretty sure we can deal.
VastaKustutaAnd again, awesome story.
Thanks everyone! I'm glad you all liked it, the sequel should be out soon, though I can't say when. Assuming it makes the cut, It'll be on here. the current working title is 'Rise of the Rainbow'. Keep an eye out! Or just follow my fim fiction account. Thanks again for sticking with me throughout this wild ride and inconsistent update times!
VastaKustutaSequel is out now! Breaking Barriers linked at the top of the page! And to the 1 Star bombers, lol U mad I ship ponies brah?
VastaKustutaohhh man!!! this is freaking aweomse
VastaKustutaFinally got to this. It was an enjoyable enough read from start to finish. Perhaps a bit too upfront about things, and I really don't think Flim and Flam would be the way you've portrayed them; but it ultimately didn't hurt the story too much.
VastaKustutaWow, this fic started when I first joined the fandom, and I've never even taken a peak at it... :(
