EDIT: changed title from Recovery to Healing
Ever since the Tirek incident Fluttershy has just gotten worse and worse. She's grown depressed and keeps her feelings pent-up inside, barely leaving her cottage. But this proves to be too much for her and after one stray thought, everything that's been piling up inside spills out.
When Discord sees just how much he's hurt her, he takes it upon himself to heal all the damage he's caused.
The process will be long and slow, but he needs to be there for her and assure her nothing like that will ever happen again; he needs to prove just how much she means to him.
Chapters (15)
That was great
This is perfect. It really warms my heart as well as I can relate to how Fluttershy is feeling. This is so beautifully written and I can't wait for the next chapter!
Great story, it very believable she would feel that way
Oh....the feels I.....I...this story is amazing!...keep it up! I'm loving it! And your writing is amazing! It's very well done! Your very good at explaining how they are both feeling and I got teary eyed reading this. It's beautiful.
I just can't wait to see more of this story! It really hits you in the heart. Theres only two chapters and I'm already in love with this and can't wait for more. And again your writing is amazing and I love this story! I simply can't wait for the next chapter!

Another really good chapter! I loved it! Your writing is really good. I'm loving this story very much. It really just hits you in the feels and you can actually imagine how Fluttershy and Discord feel.
It's nice Fluttershy's doing better!
Yet again another beautiful chapter! Honestly I'm completely invested in this story as it's just so perfectly written and I can truly feel for these two. I seriously can't express how much I love this story, I'm lost for words. Can't wait for the next chapter!
I might die from how cute this is + how happy it makes me. Faved, liked, and eagerly awaiting the next chapter
5504490 thank u so much your comments always encourage me to continue and i'm so happy you're enjoying it and that it's coming out relatable
This is really lovely. I like Discord's worrying over whether he's going to be a good cook or not.
Don't worry about the pacing my friend! It's perfect, and lovely. I like that it's going slowly. Fluttershy needs time to heal and Discord is giving it to her.
I feel so cozy reading this. :)
Another amazing chapter! Just............
's. This is going really good and it didn't feel rushed, it's at a good pace. This was really a sweet chapter!
Another beautiful chapter. The pacing is well done, in a way that is entirely believable. Both of them remain in character, and the healing process is being described in a way that those who have had depression would recognize, such as myself. I loved how real it is, and the moment of shifting mood Fluttershy had. She can't be 100% better, it's a transition, and you show it well. Amazing job. I look so forward to more, when it comes.
Beautiful chapter yet again. This story is just perfect in every aspect. I one hundred percent agree with thewoollymamoth about feeling cosy reading this.
I'm in love with this story so much. Can't wait for the next chapter! ^-^
I actually quite like the pace this story's going, so nothing concerning there. It's slow for all the right reasons. What hit hard was when Fluttershy felt sad, and she didn't know why despite thinking she was starting to feel better. That was rough. Aside from the rough moments, though, there's also the rather peaceful moments, like Discord brushing her mane, allowed for relaxing breaks. A surprising yet good mix.
Not to be that guy. But there is a grammar issue that really threw me off.
It should be cold.
Otherwise, it was a very nice chapter.
5682820 i fixed the typo thank you for letting me know c:
5682563 sorry for the super late reply but thank u so much!! yeah she's going through a lot, and like sometimes just a strong surge of emotion is enough to trigger that sadness and i wanted to show that, even though it can be rough ;;
im rly happy though that u said it was a good mix bc i was worried the strong mood shift at the end would feel forced so thank u

sorry for the super late reply but im so happy you guys liked it so much and that it felt cozy /ouo\ that's exactly what i was aiming for near the end of the chapter and im super glad it read that way
5681866 ah sorry for the super late reply!!
i'm rly glad that it's coming out recognizable though like i'm trying to convey fluttershy's emotions as realistically as possible so it rly means a lot for u to say it's coming across ;;v;

thank you all so much for reassuring me the pacing of the story is going smoothly!! i feel a lot better abt the pacing now and i'll try to keep it going at a good rate
whens the next chapter come out
I was curious if you're still writing this story? It's just I am completely and utterly invested and in love with this. No I truly am and I'm really eager to see how it all ends.
Thanks four continuing
Excellent little chapter. You have Discord down so well! He's so in character, Twilight too! I loved it. I'm quite happy to see you writing this again.
I'm so thrilled to see this story being updated again! I truly adore it ^-^
I for one like this more in depth and some what complex version of the after effects of the Tirek incident. It's a really good change of pace. And if that means taking a story about cartoon ponies too seriously then so be it!
can't wait to see whats next
please update soon
An origin for Discord. Always interesting to see where these lead.
Love this so far! Great job!
more please
Worth the wait every. Single. Dang. Time.
The details, the realistic portrayal of depression, the characterization...
Thanks for continuing to write this. I love it.
Can't wait to see whats next
This is such a powerful story. Me and my friend, we both go through this sometimes, whenever something upsets us we just act like this and this just a perfect portrayal of how depression is a really sad case when it comes to self preservation.
7381709 that makes me feel so good thank you ;;
