Flitter thought she knew what it meant to be strong, after meeting Fluttershy.

But when the dead start to walk again, they're both going to need it.

Estee has technically approved this travesty of a classic story, accompanied by a slightly raised eyebrow, a look that could wither a freight train, and a sigh that still echoes mournfully in the remote corners of spacetime.

The first draft of this story appeared in the October 2020 Writeoff, where it came in next to last.

This story is also a part of Racc’s Crackfic Storm!

Rainbow Dash is pregnant.

A time will come when she has to stop being a daredevil flier and rest up a bit more, but how likely is she to want to hang up her flight suit?

Her foal's going to find a way of letting her know, and she won't have long to wait ...

Orphaned at an early age, Flitter and Cloudchaser discovered their true callings as mercenary treasure hunters. Now, they are once again risking life and limb for gold, glory, and fame while an ancient evil conspires to finish what it started all those years ago.

Finally, after battling bandits, surviving rockslides, and deciphering runes, they uncover a different kind of treasure than what was originally marked on their map.

Inspired and encouraged by the amazing pony veteran The Blessed One and his incredible F/CC story Sweet and Salty

Flitter loves her twin sister, Cloudchaser, more than anything in the world. The two were inseparable for as long as they could remember, helping each other through times of trouble and cherishing their joyous moments together—one half that completes the other.

But Flitter had never imagined losing Cloudchaser forever. Without her sister, she feels that everything had suddenly become darker, more hollow, as though something inside her had died as well. Though it is difficult, she must find the strength and will to somehow push past the grief and emptiness and carry on in a life without her other half...

Babysitting Rumble on Hearts and Hooves Day turns into more than Flitter could have expected.

Thanks to Noble Thought for editing.

Cloudchaser is the perfect big sister: cool, calm, collected, and carefree. Flitter is a lot of things – most of them insanely annoying – but she’ll always see her sister as a true paragon.

That’s because Cloudchaser’s determined to act like one. Always. No matter what the cost.

So when they both apply for the Wonderbolt Academy, and only one of them gets in, it’s a very bad time to let the façade crack under the sudden pressure.

Then again, why not crack? After all, she’s walked on the edge of the storm every day. She has to stop acting sometime.

Storms that strong can’t hide forever.

Cloud Chaser is injured saving Rainbow Dash from certain death! At least that's how Rainbow Dash would put it.

After saving Dash, Chaser is in for a long recovery, when Dash promises anything in gratitude Chaser knows just the thing. Chaser tasks Dash with looking after her sister Flitter. Flitter is far less than pleased with the idea. But she ends up accepting that it might be good for her.

------------------------------------------------
So this current series is a series of three ships of the main six with background ponies, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, and Applejack. These three are "get together" stories for them. There'll be another series where I continue these stories and add in the other main six, probably. I can't guarantee anything since I haven't planned them out! :D

I've added an in story dating system to the stories as the stories are actually somewhat intertwined so for any of you who are reading all of them they'll be easier to line up.
Note on crossover chapters. They are the same chapter in two stories because they are relevant to both. They will say with what story they cross over and have the same (or very similar) titles.
Applejack and Coco: Not The Obvious Answer
Rarity and Minuette: Time For Fashion

While performing cloud duty on a quiet night, Flitter takes time out to reflect on the less-than-exemplary behaviour she's shown in the past.
