Flutter's Dark Fibers

Darkness in the Dress

Fluttershy was knitting herself a dress from this lovely pink thread which Discord and Screwball had to have left for her to work with. The two themselves went out to go grocery shopping, and as much as Fluttershy would have loved to go, she was still sleeping even after they had left. She managed to wake up soon after, and after eating a light breakfast, she saw this thread and somehow felt a sudden burst of inspiration to give form to the many spools of thread left to her care.

She had an idea to make a frilly pink and white dress with an excessive amount of bows. She took great care of each and every thread as she knit, making sure every single piece was placed perfectly and straight as an arrow. She then began to like this activity, it made her feel so open, so free, so high. She smiled as her craft began to mirror what she saw in her mind, each thread and frill and bow put on the cast as perfectly as a heavenly Eden would be. A thing to stick out now, her crowned possession, gleaming with magic. She could feel it had magic running through its veins, and it responded to her now undying love for it.

There was an even deeper feeling of desire burning in her heart, fluttering like a butterfly. She squealed in utter giddiness and quickly slipped into the dress, finding it to be a constricting partner. It tightened around her waist and used microscopic threads to pierce her skin and take in her blood. Pink mist blew from her dresses openings like steam from a steam engine, and Fluttershy's right eye emitted a violet magic that took solid form as a butterfly eyepatch.

"No! What's... what's happening?!" Fluttershy cried as she lost her balance and fell on her face. She noticed the dress becoming a blood red, and the pink mist had also tinted to the same color. She screamed and tried to rip the dress off, but found that her limbs were being bound by its threads. "Help! Help! Somepony help me! Please!--"

You're trying to steal daddy away from me... I hate you! I hoped at first you would die, but I was stumped at how to get you killed, skewered, mauled, maimed, without having to deal with those other damned Elements of Harmony! I was sure there was nothing I could do... so I was forced to reconcile with my desires to destroy you... Don't get me wrong, you do seem to be a nice pony, but if you wanna be my new caretaker after mommy's gone away forever... I'll need a much more chaotic mother than you!

Fluttershy knew that voice, and hearing it say such a thing brought a deep sorrow to her heart. The dress responded and gave the pegasus a tighter hug than before. "Sc-Screwball... why? Why would you do this?" Fluttershy grunted, trying again to stand up, but she felt as her blood was poured back into her body, with the red mist becoming pink once again. Her blood was tainted with the will of Chaos, and Screwball's mind infiltrated Fluttershy's.

The pegasus thrashed and kicked to gain her freedom, desperately trying to break free, both mind and body, but she felt Screwball's grip on her growing tighter and tighter with every waking second. She could hear the pony laughing with chaotic insanity, and tears ran down her face, as she began to accept the fact that there was nothing else she could do to help herself. She heard the door opening, and sensing it may be her only chance of escape, Fluttershy reached out as far as she could and tried to scream.


"Fluttershy honey, I'm back," Discord said, placing the paper bag which he had on the table near the couch. "I see you've already gotten to making that dress... how long was I gone?..."

"Oh, hi Discord!" Fluttershy exclaimed, running to the draconequus and hugging him tightly. "I missed you so much while you were gone! Also, I loved the thread you and Screwy got for me, as you can see, I've already made a nice dress for myself with it!~"

Discord chuckled, "Yes, I have! It's a very nice dress, I might say. I didn't know you were that talented actually with sewing. You're as good as Rarity."

Fluttershy blushed, making the "squee" sound as well. "Not that I'm bragging or trying to outdo her... but I guess I can take great pride in this dress... Thank you for leaving me the thread to work with. It's almost as if you knew you'd come back to see me in such a sexy dress, didn't you?"

Discord blushed too then. "Oh, well... I..."

Fluttershy silenced him. "You don't have to say anything... I already know, Discord. I can read you like a book."


Inside, she was screaming. Begging Discord to notice that something was obviously wrong with her. Pleading with no avail, Fluttershy fell to her side within her subconscious mind. Screwball was there with her, stroking her mane, telling her in a soothing voice,

Hush now, quiet now...
You're such a naïve pony, I don't know what Discord and I will do with you now... I can control your body from within her like a puppet, so, I suppose I do know what I'll do with you! I know! I can get you to "convince" daddy to wreck havoc upon the village! Isn't that a good idea, Momma?

Fluttershy did not respond, she was forced to watch through her own eyes as she discorded her own love, taking him under her spell. He looked unphazed however, but Screwball surely had her hooves on him. She had him in the threads as well.


"Fluttershy? Are you okay?" Discord asked her with concern. "You've been staring into space... I mean, I know the window is right there, and surely the night sky is full of beautiful wonders, but you ought to tell me when you do things like that. That way, I can make sure I change it up to further fit your preferences."

"No... I'm fine... Why don't we all go to bed now?" Fluttershy said, as she watched Screwball phase out of Discord's body and curl around her.

"Yes... why don't we all go to bed?" Screwball said in a child's voice with a high pitched giggle that forced her father to laugh.

"That's my girl! You take up quite a bit from the both of us, now don't you?" Discord told her, patting her head.

Discord went into the kitchen to put away the food, and Screwball took Fluttershy to their bedroom. Screwball threw the pegasus onto the bed. "Do you think you can escape now, my pet? There's no hope for you now... tomorrow, we begin our game. Tomorrow, you will show those idiot friends of yours that there is no more a shred of kindness within your heart."

Screw took a piece of her flesh from her flank and made it into a violet scissor blade. "You will wield this blade, and it will turn their coats into more thread for us to use. And once I manage to make a coat out of all of them... I'll have the perfect vessel for the Elements of Harmony! And the Tree will become my crown... Order my bitch, and you my slave."

Fluttershy struggled to speak, but Screwball laughed at her and punched her directly in the throat.

"What? You thought this was out of jealousy? Yes... You turned daddy into stone and then took away his yearning for chaos... you made him not wanna play 'Mindrape the Innocent Fillies' anymore... You've ruined him! So now, I'll take those Harmonies from you all by rendering your collective power useless... How? Of course all the Elements can't work if even ONE is not present. You are the easiest to target, the easiest to subdue... You, Fluttershy, are the most worthless piece of garbage I've ever met. And if you think you can do all this to daddy and I's relationship... then you're painfully mistaken. Those Harmonies hold the power to change things, and surely if I can harness those powers, I can corrupt them and then effectively make the universe mine's."


Sunset Shimmer turned over in her bed, unable to sleep. She had a dark feeling in her chest, and knew something was wrong. She opened her eyes and immediately felt that her body was covered in sweat. She threw the covers off and leaned over to her desk to grab the diary to send a letter to Celestia, but someone grabbed it away from her, and she ended up falling out of the bed.

"Dammit! What the hell--" Sunset muttered, trying to look up, but a foot stomped her head back down. She now had a bloody nose and a busted lip, and the taste of blood sickened her.

"You really ought to work on those reflexes of your's... bacon hair," Adagio said, writing in the diary with a golden pen. "You can't keep a bad siren down for long... And even then, you can't stop sound."

"Adagio?!" Sunset cried, managing to escape and roll over on her back to try to stand again, but Adagio effortlessly nudged her onto her back and stomped her stomach twice. "Damn you! Why are you--"

Adagio flashed an amulet which was around her neck, it was an orange and red eye like figure. Sunset was marveled by it, and then felt Adagio release a pressure through the air which nearly suffocated her. "I was gifted with an amazing jewel... it just came falling right out of the sky, and I happened to be the one it was guided to... It gave me back my beautiful voice and even more! Now, I have unrivaled power that even your puny Equestrian magic can't stand against!"

Sunset coughed violently. She tried to break free, but could not. It felt as if Adagio's foot carried the weight of a thousand Celestias. "Damn... why me? Why did you come to me, of all people?"

Adagio smiled deviously and used a red thread from her finger tip to make a thick rope to bind Sunset Shimmer with. "It doesn't matter now... but what does matter is that you will lead that bitch Twilight to me when she comes... Then I'll obtain her method of getting back to Equestria."

"Where are the others?" Sunset asked curiously, trying to distract Adagio with questions so she could figure out a way to make a swift escape. "The other sirens... where are they?"

Adagio looked to her with an interested look in her eyes. "You wanna know? They're still here... but they're paying those other Rainbooms a visit... My sources tell me that they're having a sleepover... It would've been much easier if you had went too, then we wouldn't have to split up... Why'd you stay home? Aren't they your friends?" Adagio was mocking her now, pushing down on her abdomen even more now.

Sunset gritted her teeth, but then sighed. "I... I had a hunch. You fucking bitch!"

"Feisty, aren't we? Calm down... I've got something interesting planned for you when I get back to the other sirens and we've captured your friends... You're gonna help me lure Twilight into a trap. And don't even think about escape. I don't wanna waste Junketsu's power on a vermin who can't listen to simple orders."
