, Archive of Our Own, or FiMFiction.net.
Rarity has had several wonderful dates with gentlemanly stallion Topaz Gleam. But when Topaz implies that he'd like to make their relationship sexual, Rarity isn't sure what to do. She seeks guidance from her friends, but Applejack, Twilight Sparkle, and Fluttershy have no experience with stallions, Rainbow Dash is nowhere to be found, and Pinkie Pie can't possibly help with a serious problem like this…right?
The fic is notable for combining Original Flavor dialogue and characterization of the Mane Six with frank and funny discussions of sexuality, without any actual sex scenes.
This Fan Fic contains examples of:
- Angst: Rarity's worries about whether she should sleep with Topaz or not are both Played for Laughs and shown sympathetically.
- Casual Kink: Pinkie Pie enjoys BDSM. Also, Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash incorporate it into their sex life. Rainbow Dash is a masochistic submissive and Fluttershy is a sadistic dominant.
- Cloud Cuckoolander: Pinkie Pie's oddball tendencies are present as always. When Rarity says she doesn't know what she'd do without Pinkie Pie, Pinkie says she doesn't know what she'd do without herself either, then comment that "that would be weird".
- Covert Pervert: When Rarity asks Fluttershy about Dash's whereabouts, Fluttershy gives her one of these.
- Crazy in the Head, Crazy in the Bed: The Cloudcuckoolander Pinkie Pie is depicted as an Ethical Slut in this fic.
- Ethical Slut: Pinkie Pie, in a rather epic instance of the trope. Equal emphasis is placed on the "slut" part and the "ethical" part.
- Good Bad Girl: Pinkie Pie's fun-loving personality extends to sex.
- Heartbreak and Ice Cream: Pinkie Pie offers Rarity ice cream after sex with Topaz goes wrong.
- Idealized Sex: Thoroughly averted. Rarity knows that sex is more awkward in real life. But she wants it to go well, which is why she's looking for advice in the first place. Sex with Topaz turns out to be even more awkward than Rarity anticipated: Topaz suddenly can't "perform." To save face, he blames Rarity for being too ugly and dumps her. Pinkie Pie helps Rarity get over her disappointment by explaining that the silliness of sex is just part of the fun.
- Masturbation Means Sexual Frustration: Applejack mentions regularly seeing action with Doctor Hooves because she can't land any dates, as her older relatives are secretly intimidating them away from her.
- Multi-Way Sex: Pinkie Pie says bodies in general are silly and putting two of them together for sex is double silly. Then she mentions that sometimes it's triple silly, or "(q)uadruple silly, like last Wednesday."
- My Sister Is Off-Limits: Applejack is still a virgin because, unbeknownst to her, her older brother Big Mac and Granny Smith keep intimidating and scaring away any would-be suitors.
- Naughty by Night: The timid Fluttershy is the sexually dominant one in her relationship with the boisterous Rainbow Dash.
- Nerds Are Virgins: Twilight Sparkle is more interested in studying than looking for a date.
- Original Flavor: The Mane Six are admirably in character despite the mature subject matter.
- Parents Walk In at the Worst Time: Mrs. Cake has walked in on Pinkie when she was "entertaining" a stallion. Pinkie passed it off as practice for the Running of the Leaves.
- Pun: At one point, Rarity muses that Rainbow Dash hasn't been able to give her advice yet because she "must still be tied up somewhere." Unbeknownst to her, said pony is currently tied up in a BDSM session with ropes.
- The Reveal: Rarity thinks that Rainbow Dash might have some good advice about stallions, but she can't find her anywhere. In fact, Rainbow Dash is tied up in Fluttershy's bed.
- Romance Novel: Summer Moonlight's "Sir Coppermane" series is apparently quite popular in-universe. Both Twilight Sparkle and Rarity are fans.
- Secret Relationship: Fluttershy/Rainbow Dash. It's secret because Fluttershy is too shy to let anypony know yet.
- Suspiciously Specific Denial: Twilight is most definitely not some recluse who spends all her time studying and would rather read a book than go on a date.
- Unusual Euphemism: The only sexual action Applejack's getting is from "good ol' Doctor Hooves." This does not mean the brown earth pony who lives in a little blue box.
- Wham Line: "Ooh, ooh, I know! You're worried that he's going to want to stick it in you and you won't know what to do!"
