A good story, but if I interpreted the ending correctly, you might consider the tragedy tag.

4107720 I purposely left the tragedy tag off to leave it open to interpretation. Is it a tragedy or not?
You decide. :twilightsmile:

This is so sad poor fluttershy :fluttercry: and pinkie poor you to :pinkiesad2:

Since you said it is open for interpretation and no one else has already done it, I will end the story! *Ahem*

Fluttershy awoke to a dark and almost empty room. She looked around, only to notice the pink blob laying on the side of her bed. "P-P... Pinkie?" the pink blob slowly roused from her deep sleep and saw that Fluttershy was awake. She smiled sheepishly, muttering, " I told you it'd be fine..." memories came rushing back to Fluttershy. The manticore, the water, the memories... She felt an odd pressure on her chest and looked down to see two huge blue eyes stating at her. "Don't ever scare me like that again!" Pinkie was sobbing into her coat. Fluttershy stared in shock, then Patted her mane and hugged her back. "Don't worry," she said, staring off into the distance."I won't."

Ha! You tried to make me cry! But luckily I made this ending(since it's the first, it's official :P) By making this ending, I have prevented the onslaught of manly tears. This was almost as sad as "Pretty in Pink", and that is saying something, considering that story made me spew forth manly tears at four o' clock in the morning! Great story!

4131430 Curse you! I was going to harvest those manly tears to further increase my power! You have foiled my master plan! :flutterrage:

Nice ending, though. Doesn't quite match the one in my head (which could go either way:pinkiehappy:), but I could almost be persuaded to maybe let it be an option to consider.

How's that for an answer? :twilightsmile:

Close. Oh so close to making me flood my room with liquid manliness.

Awesome fic.

10/10 :moustache:

:fluttercry:
Why you do dis to mai Flutters? :fluttershysad:

Good fic tho. Gave me feels.

Thanks for that. I feel better now.

shit.

Although, I think it's a double ending; the light could either mean she died, or saw the light of her friends or something.

Eh. Just speculation. Toodles.:ajbemused:

I just want to say that your use of description throughout the entire story was done incredibly well. It was a pleasure to read in this regard, as I had no trouble at all forming the imagery in my mind.

The way her life was flashing before her eyes was a nice touch, and I like how you left it open at the end for the reader to determine. In my eyes, I think she does die, but I guess I'm just a person who likes my sadfics to be really sad and tragic :twilightsheepish:

Anyway, good work with this! I'm curious to see what else you can come up with :twilightsmile:

4535402 Thanks! I wanted to put the reader in Fluttershy's position, to experience what she felt as much as possible, and to show what I feel is her inner strength.
You're certainly welcome to feel that way about the ending. :twilightsmile: I was originally thinking of writing two separate epilogues to go with either possibility, but I figured it was better to leave well enough alone.
As far as other stories, I do have a couple that are currently brewing in my mind. As work and editing schedules permit, I should be able to start getting them out pretty soon.
