It has been exactly ten days since what I can only describe as the start of Fluttershy's phenomenon.

With Twilight Sparkle still adjusting to life as a princess, Rarity becomes convinced she can help her friend by finding her a special somepony. And when that somepony turns out to be Fluttershy, awkward dates and adorable moments are sure to follow!

For a different take on the same characters, be sure to check out my RariTwiShy story, Our Lady's Courtship.

Seeing the poor dragon at his wits end trying to woo Rarity, Gilda decides to give Spike some tips and help him gain the mare of his affection. Although she finds him slightly annoying, he starts to grow on her. And she soon learns that Spike has taken a liking to her as well...

Maybe too much of a liking.

Twilight writes a prompt-based story. The prompt is 'Weed'.

Written for the Twishy August Dual Contest. Title is a wordplay on the prompt "A Sweet Surprise".

Editing by Sharp Spark. Preread by equestrian.sen. Cover is a combination of art by zomgmad, Wicklesmack, ZuTheSkunk (for Dusk's wings) and various public domain weed vectors.

Separation can leave two lovers feeling saddened by their inability to confide and comfort the other, Twilight and Fluttershy are no exception to this feeling. Forced to separate for a time both feel the need to come together once more.

Written for the August Dual Contest in the TwiShy group following both prompts.

Twilight has been thrust into a prominent role in equestrian society; a role for which she is woefully unprepared. With her coronation only three weeks away, she must prepare herself to meet the expectations of a nation. Thankfully, her friends are on hoof to provide her with their unwavering support on the run up to this momentous occasion.

However is their help what Twilight really needs? She wants to be a good princess, but is she willing to reinvent her entire personality to do so? Can anypony truly understand what she's going through?

A fire of unknown origin begins in the Everfree forest. Quickly, it spreads to the home of the timid pegasus, Fluttershy. She manages to rescue all of her animals, but one. She reaches for a small white rabbit as the supports on the cottage go, and she is rescued by Twilight Sparkle. Her home is gone, and has probably taken her best friend with it. The world has brought poor Fluttershy down. Can Twilight help her get back up?

Fluttershy didn't see it coming. She hadn't even considered it a possibility—not to her poor Angel. Now grieving over the loss of her dearest friend, Fluttershy pushes those closest to her away and seeks comfort within the silence of her cottage. But one pony is more persistent than the rest...

Winner of the TwiShy group's August Dual Contest.

Reeling from the loss of her brother, Twilight has slipped into depression so deep that even reading the most cheerful romance novel can't make her smile in the least bit. Her marefriend of four years, Fluttershy, has gotten more and more worried as the days passed. Perhaps she has a sweet surprise for our depressed unicorn.

This is my entry for the TwiShy Group August Dual Contest. This follows both possible prompts.

Fluttershy has a problem. She is in love with one of her best friends, and has been for quite some time. She wishes every day to suck up all of her fears, and bleed her heart out to this mare. But she is too afraid. She may find the perfect opportunity, however, as a new tradition is begun in Ponyville. Perhaps if she cannot speak the words, she can sing them in Ponyville's approaching talent show.

I'm making this series into a comic series, along-side the fics. First Page!
