This story is a sequel to Families

Third in the Nuptialverse...

Twilight Sparkle has done much for Equestria. If it weren't for her, Equestria would be destroyed three times over by now.

So what happens when she has to leave? What happens when she and Spike are forced to depart from Equestria in order to fulfill their duties? And what happens when there's still important things at home to do?

Applejack, Rarity, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, and Rainbow Dash now have to get along without the one who leads them. All of Equestria is counting on them. Can they do it?

AU only post-season 2, since the basic idea for this fic was created long before it aired. Events similar to season 3 have happened, all of which will be revealed. Strongly recommended you read Post Nuptials and Families first.

Fluttershy has volunteered to run an errand for Princess Celestia, and must venture out beyond the Everfree forest. Applejack tags along to help her Pegasus friend. However, they are soon met with an otherworldly dragon and must defend themselves! But Fluttershy becomes too overwhelmed and is unable to run. Will Applejack be able to defend the both of them?

In an alternate universe, Celestia is the dictator of the land of Paneighm. There used to be 13 districts, but the Lunar District, led by Princess Luna, rebelled and was destroyed. As a reminder to never rebel again, Celestia established an anual fight to the death with 24 tributes, one colt and one mare from each district. In the 74th Pony Games, Fluttershy volunteers to save Applejack's little sister. But will she survive? (NOTE: This story is based off the book by Suzanne Collins. However, it is NOT exactly like the book)

When Fluttershy falls deathly ill, no one can help her thanks to the massive storm that the Weather Team inconvienently planned. No one is able to leave their own homes, let alone make the long trek to Fluttershy's cottage. Except for one brave stallion...

Lyra and Bon-Bon want to have children, but being mares, they cannot conceive one. However, a young filly without a home may well become the daughter of two loving mothers.

Lyra finds said filly one evening and offers her a stay at their place for the night, but caring for the filly brings maternal instincts to life

Dinky has grown up enough to stay home by herself while her mother Derpy is out making deliveries. But Dinky isn't so happy about this when a major storm rolls in from the Everfree Forest and her mother doesn't come home that night.

Look up at the picture. You know the one, the cover picture none of you care about. See that stallion in the background there? That's me. You probably didn't see me at first because you were too busy best-ponying over Sweetie Belle, but it's to be expected.

There's a reason I'm so sad, but then again, I guess being forgotten will do that to you. Take chances, they said. Ask out a mare, they said. It'll be a fun time, they said.

Yeah, well, they lied.

Throughout her life, Fluttershy has had to deal with bullying, anxiety, and depression. Feeling like she was never good enough for anything. What her friends didn't know, was how she dealt with her pain.
What she did once her door was closed.

Fluttershy has a secret she's been keeping from her friends. But when the truth inevitably comes out will they stand beside her, or will they walk away in shame?
