title refrences this quote, which I think perfectly describes how appleshy is to me:

"Perhaps, after all, romance did not come into one's life with pomp and blare, like a gay knight riding down; perhaps it crept to one's side like an old friend through quiet ways; perhaps it revealed itself in seeming prose, until some sudden shaft of illustration flung athwart its pages betrayed the rhythm and the music, perhaps loveunfolded naturally out of a beautiful friendship, as a golden-hearted rose slipping from its green sheath." - L.M Montgomery.

erm erm Appleshy is my comfort ship I love them so much together. It makes me feel warm and cozy :]
