So that the other sketchdump wouldn't feel alone (or so that I could do some more AppleDash and SoarBurn), I drew a second one! <3 You know, I'm starting to like these things. I might make more in the future! But, anyway, let's start!

- Soarin' and Braeburn's first time. On Soarin's last day of holiday in Appleloosa, Braeburn revealed his true feelings to the Pegasus, and discovered that the Wonderbolt loved him back. The farm pony couldn't have been happier, and tried to push things a bit further than a simple kiss, but Soarin started feeling nervous as soon as Braeburn's hooves touched him in an affectionate way.
Though nopony but Spitfire and Rainbow Dash knew it, Soarin' hadn't been in a relationship for a while when he undertook one with the yellow stallion. His last one, in fact, had left him scarred (literally) and scared: the partner, a male Griffon (I'm still deciding whether I should name him or not, but I don't think I will), had seemed sweet and caring at first, but had shown his true self in one of their first intimate moments. Soarin', forced to submit, had feared for a long time to split up and take measures, but eventually chose not to be oppressed anymore. The couple fought terribly that night and the Griffon came to the point where he even clawed the Pegasus, before abandoning him and, luckily, never showing up again.
Because of this, Soarin' had started avoiding any kind of relationship and rarely ever slept with anypony (something he was more than used to whenever he wasn't in a serious relationship). Braeburn's love was definitely something new for him after a long time, but the wounds of his past had almost stopped him from believing it was true.
Soarin' eventually explains everything to Braeburn after his first advances and the two decide to take it slowly, at least until Soarin' feels safe and cared for. It didn't take him too long, you can imagine.

- Applejack and Rainbow Dash during a one-week holiday in Amareca (forgive me). It might seem Rainbow Dash is the dominant one between the two, with Applejack being more submissive and letting the Pegasus... stay on top. Actually, it's Applejack who wears the metaphorical pants in this relationship, and Rainbow Dash doesn't dare moving a hoof if her partner says otherwise. She tried, it didn't end good for her (sleeping on the floor ain't fun, Dash found out). The Pegasus is pretty subdued and obedient to her... "mistress", as she sometimes calls her during their harnessed playtime. Rainbow was a bit scared (and more than flustered) when she first saw Applejack with a bridle in her hoof and a sly grin on her face, but she later found out that letting her marefriend be the leader can be pretty enjoyable as well. Good thing the room was soundproof

- Applejack and Rainbow Dash's very first meeting. They were around the age of 10, if not less, and hated each other as soon as they met. Dash was performing daredevil stunts in AJ's orchard, so of course the orange filly wasn't too happy with her trees being deprived of their fruits when the Pegasus was tired or seeing her crashing directly into them. AJ was a bit intrigued by the Pegasus since she'd seen very very few feathered ponies back then, but she didn't get a good impression. Dash came back home with a few feathers ripped and some scratches and bruises on her body, only to gain another scold from her parents. Applejack's pride, on the contrary, was praised and petted when she told her Granny about the brawl. The two fillies met again some time later and the scene was repeated a few more times before they actually spoke to one another. They became great friends quickly after those first encounters and have never abandoned each other since then.

- Vinyl Scratch and Octavia a few seconds before the grey pony kisses her Unicorn roommate out of nowhere. Man, I love this ship so much, I couldn't simply ignore it so I opted for a little scene with the two of them being all cute :3 I'd written about them already, as well; here's the headcanon I have for this couple in my AU:
Vinyl Scratch was born in Manehattan as a normal and healthy filly, but her parents were destroyed when they discovered that, at the young age of 2 years, their daughter had become mute. It broke their heart to know that they'd never hear the voice of their creature, but they couldn't do anything at all about it. Anyway, the filly grew up happy and never minded her deficiency, or at least she didn't show it. She loved music and enjoyed taking part in concerts or musicals, even though she didn't really want to be a part of that world. Everything changed when she went to a concert in Canterlot with her brother, a red-maned DJ Unicorn named Turntable, and she discovered her talent. Life went on as before after that, but Vinyl was now performing in her city's most famous and popular discos, gaining success and fans.
It all started when Vinyl decided to make an important change: she abandoned her shining career and began searching for a house she could share with roommates in "humbler" places. She found one in Ponyville, practically the opposite of the lively and sleepless city she was coming from, but she didn't mind. She loved making new experiences. But to her disappointment, she discovered her roommate was a classical music lover, a grey Earth Pony named Octavia Melody, who spent her days practicing on her cello. This almost made her change idea, but she remembered she had promised to herself she'd accept any situation life proposed to her. And so, their life together began. It was terribly annoying to have a fancy gal playing her boring instrument all morning and evening long while you tried to put your ideas together about the next performance, and it was very difficult and uneasy for Octavia to communicate to Vinyl, because she hardly understood her hoof language and often needed her to write down her sentences. But slowly (very slowly) the two mares started bearing each other and living as the other didn't even exist.
One day Octavia received from an acquaintance of hers a couple of tickets for a rock and pop concert taking place just in Ponyville in a few days' time. She offered them to Vinyl, who nicely asked her if she wanted to come, too, since she hadn't made many friends in town. The night was fun for both of them, but, while Vinyl preferred staying by the stage, Octavia soon decided it was no suitable space for her and moved to the drinks' table. It was a bad decision. Vinyl had to carry her home all the way long, since the mare was not used to the effects of alcohol and couldn't think straight after only three or four glasses. Once at home, Vinyl's scolding hoof signs were promptly ignored and made fun of, thing which hit the white Unicorn deeply and saddened her to the point where she almost didn't even care for her roommate anymore. However, even if her sight was cloudy and blurry, Octavia recognized her friend and became worried for her, afraid she had said something wrong. Excited by the alcohol and dizzy from the strong feelings she was going to face by comforting her friend, Octavia leaned in and kissed Vinyl passionately . She fell asleep a few minutes later, but Vinyl couldn't close her eyes all night long. Next morning, Octavia remembered anything that had happened the previous night by seeing a green glass bottle lying on the floor in a dirty puddle of beer. It reminded her of the kiss, too. As soon as the memory reached her mind, she rushed to Vinyl and apologized for her foolish beahviour, but what she got in response made her blush and smile at the same time. Vinyl hoof-said it had surprised her, but in a good way, and she wouldn't mind it if that would lead to something more than a simple tolerating friendship. That was enough for Octavia to repeat the previous night's action and embrace her new lover once more.

- Spitfire before she became a Wonderbolt. After seeing the amazing film "Burlesque" (whose songs still are my obsession), I was overwhelmed by ideas and headcanon possibilities, so I chose a couple and used them to build a backstory for a character I've never paid enough attention to: Spitfire. I can already imagine that someone will think (and/or comment) that what I'm going to say makes no sense, it's too intricate or whatever, but I honestly don't care so have this brand-new headcanon! <3
Though Spitfire was born in a quite caring family, she'd never really felt part of it. She loved her parents, but she still felt a bit like a stranger to their formal and elegant composure. Athletic and brave, the filly had always looked up to the Wonderbolt squadron and wished, one day, to become a part of it. As soon as she turned 18, she left her family and travelled in the most lively and sleepless cities and countries, deciding to settle down and find a small apartment in Las Pegasus. There, she used all the money her parents had given her to train in the best arenas the city could offer, getting better and better. Her funds soon ended, though, and she was too proud and stubborn to ask her family for help. Because of this, she started looking for a job so she could still afford her training. Any employer declined her requests, however, seen she had no kind of experience in any field and hadn't even completed her studies. The only place which accepted her, to Spitfire's slight disappointment, was a rather famous strip club, meeting location of many celebrities and stars. In a few months' time, her career as burlesque dancer hit the roof and she had enough money to do pretty much whatever she wanted. But her dearest dream was destined to fail: the Wonderbolt Academy had just recently started to accept mares as performers, and such a young and weak-looking filly surely didn't inspire the squad. Her greatest desire shattered to pieces, Spitfire resigned herself to being just a stripper, at least until she could gain what she still owed to her family.
The yellow Pegasus started hating her job and those who frequented the club, until one night a light-blue stallion requested to see her after her performance. She'd stopped hoping after being fooled and used by those who said they loved her, but she couldn't deny she found the blue maned Pegasus attractive. He introduced himself as Soarin', but didn't reveal anything else about him. He made small talk with the slightly disheartened filly, complimenting her and trying to gain her friendship. He told her to call him whenever she felt down or simply wanted to talk, and that he'd be at the club at the same table the next week, as usual. Spitfire was surprised by his gentler and sincere attitude and almost believed she could trust him, so the two Pegasi soon became friends. Soarin' developed deeper feelings for the younger filly, but didn't tell her anything in the fear she'd think he was just trying to cheat her. However, he once learnt about her dead dream of becoming a Wonderbolt (and her amazing flight skills) and thought that was his chance to show her he truly cared for her. Being a member of the squadron himself, and captain of the stallions even, it wasn't difficult for him to put Spitfire in a good word and push a little so that she would be accepted.
As soon as the filly found out, she couldn't have been happier and thought she would never be able to show Soarin' how grateful she was: he'd brought her out of the strip club and made her wish come true, so he'd become the perfect stallion in her eyes. Spitfire decided to venture, and soon undertook a relationship with the older Pegasus. Things seemed to go well at first, but eventually didn't work out and the two Wonderbolts mutually chose to split up. The break-up was rather peaceful and no grudge was held by both, so they started having other partners without feeling any sorrow or hatred.
Now Spitfire is Soarin's very best friend and practically his sister in all but blood, the only pony he shares anything with. They are playful partners in crime (also against each other) and would do anything for one another, even though none of their first, old love is left.
