That was short, but pretty good. And the concept isn't nearly as common as you'd think.
Kind of odd that Mac didn't try to contact her or anything after she suddenly jumped his bones like that, but hey; they'll have lots of time to talk as they're raising the child she conceived via her psychotic magic-fueled sexual assault.

6560115 Well, it DID happen in the middle of the night, and she was very out of character. He just assumed he had passed out in the field and had a weird dream. Makes sense, trying to get up for work in the middle of the night like that. :P

I'm honestly surprised to hear it's not so common. But hell, neither is art of this scenario. I dunno, I just figured between the popularity of FlutterMac shipping and of Flutterbat herself, it was an obvious direction to take.

6560115 Oh, and would you mind editing your post with spoiler tags? You kinda laid out everything but the number of thrusts on the page people see before actually getting to the story. xD

6560333
Yeah, it seems like it, but no. I think I've only seen three of them in total (including this) that use the concept (and in one it actually WAS a dream).

6560345
Okay.

6561174 Huh. Go figure. So how does mine stack up? It's awful short, but I'd like to think excelling in English and literature plus two years of erotic roleplaying gave me some idea of how to write this kinda stuff ^^;;;

6561213
It stacks up fine. One started really good, but it was labeled incomplete. Another chapter was never added, so it just seems like an awkward one-shot without any real conclusion. And the dream one was funny, but loses points because its twist deliberately abandons any impact from its plot. Yours was short, sweet, and... well, predictably concluded. But between the story tags and the description, it was pretty obvious what was going to happen.
The only time I've seen the Flutterbat aspect explored in a deeper, multi-part romance story were for other pairings, not FlutterMac.

6561249 That's kinda disappointing, really. Honestly, I've got ideas for a full story myself, wherein the Flutterbat encounter wouldn't be their first coupling, but I just don't have the time, nor enough story to tie together what scenes I do have in mind.
EDIT: Nope, never mind, I think this might work out well, just playing off the ending of this chapter without a relationship prior to it. I'm already almost done with chapter 2!

AJ is just going to love hearing about this. :ajbemused:

6570431 Haha, you'll just have to wait and see how everypony (and a certain non-pony who's fond of Shy) reacts as more chapters roll out! (I know it's marked as complete, but I've come up with some direction for the story since posting. For now, it still makes a decent one-shot clop.)

6574534 lol no, but it'll become apparent eventually. I've got plans for a good hoofful of characters' reactions to the news ^^

6574553 Trust me on this, Pinkie Pie broke more fourth walls than Spike's blind date with our favorite zebra.

6574561 I'm so confused right now. O.o;

EDIT: WAIT, I just got an even better idea for the Pinkie reveal. Thank you!

What an adorable little story. Can't wait to see where it goes from here :3

6587779 Thanks! There's a new chapter up! :o

Yay!!! Although im confused about the whole "luscius and Narcisa" thing but it was nice

6594315 Just a.couple of the bats she chats with in the orchard. ^^

6594455 ohh.....odd names and i thought Flutterbat was like " inner desire persona " of Fluttershy . Lets see what this story has in stock

There it was. That gleam in Rarity's eyes: shipping goggles.
This line cracked me right up :rainbowlaugh: For a story that I thought was going to end right after the first chapter I'm really happy to see where this is going. Keep up the awesome work!

6595271 x3 Glad you're liking it so far!

Still the matter of bun in the oven.

I came here for a quick clopfic, but it seems I will be staying for the unfolding drama story :yay:

6604744 It started as a quick clopfic! And then the drama just kinda spilled out of my brain xD Glad it's working for ya! ^^

6602397 Honestly, I don't particularly care for Tree Hugger myself (nothing against hippies, but she is painfully stereotypical), but she's a close friend of Shy's and would come from a communal environment where she'd know how to handle pregnancy and whatnot, so she's in the story.

6605352 you're right that she does fit the context of the story very well, but all the same

GODD**M HIPPIES!!

Wow...Discord's a jerk.

I know the show makes him out to be one but, deep down, I think he really, really doesn't want to lose the friendship he has with Fluttershy, since she's the only one who can seem to put up with his nonesense.

And cerulean is the colour of Fluttershy's eyes right? and green is Mac's? If so, it was pretty subtle and did take me a while to understand where the colours came from.

I can certainly see Mac being a role model for Spike too, just so long as he didn't hear about the whole dress thing from Rainbow, though Spike himself where's that pink apron so maybe the little Dragon sees it as a badge of honour. Like, "Yeah, it takes a real stallion to be able to where a dress!" :moustache:

Still, you made a pretty good fic out of something, I thought, was just going to be clop. I tip my hat to you. I certainly liked the fact that it wasn't a relationship set in stone, just because they're having a child.

Keep up the good work, your writing earned you a like and a fave. I only fave FlutterMac that don't fall into the "They're both shy, so it works" trope, and this one doesn't, so deserves some more recognition for it, Four Pinkies out of five and a moustache for you, good brony! :pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy::moustache:

6628568 I've been a little antsy about my portrayal of Discord as well, but you gotta consider how he behaved when Fluttershy took Tree Hugger to the GGG -- he was a huge dick just because she had another friend, and he didn't spare her feelings then. This is a bit bigger. He definitely doesn't want to lose her, but he doesn't know how to handle this. Despite being a few thousand years old (that we know of), social function is still very new to him, and he has the emotional maturity of a kindergartener.

To be perfectly honest, the favorite color thing was just a happy accident! I honestly just went with what I thought their favorite colors would be, and it just so happened to be each other's eyes xD
I hadn't thought about Spike wearing an apron; I might have to work that in at some point....

There wouldn't even be a story if I just went with "well, there's a baby, so we're married now"! And you might have noticed I used Discord to poke fun at the "they're shy, so it works" crowd -- again, there just wouldn't be a story here. There's no drama in "aaaand KISS!" and without drama, what compels you to keep reading? I'm glad I seem to be doing a good job so far ^^ Thanks for reading!

Green and cerulean? What you did there, I see it.:rainbowwild:

6673659 Should have been "...eye see it." but I was sleepy.
Hope for moar, because reasons.
Story gets 5 Yays.
:yay::yay::yay::yay::yay:

I do like where you're taking this...
My vote for what to call Flutterbat is something like Evening Breeze, which ties to "flutter" nicely... Maybe to tie it fully to Fluttershy, you could go with "Breeze Whisper".

Alternately, a cool idea would be to reference the moon in some way since Flutterbat only appears on the full moon... :twilightsmile: I got nothin' on that front, but maybe someone else will come up with something. :raritywink:

6700136 Ooooh, I like "Breeze"... that's a start. :raritystarry: Definitely something with Breeze in it. I'm not sure how to work the moon in there though...

6700174
How about Umbral Breeze or Lunar Breeze?
:twilightsmile:

6712185 AHA! I've been wracking my brain cuz I knew there was some Latin word relating to darkness that was escaping me -- it was umbra! Umbral Breeze it is!! Thank you! :twilightsmile:
"Lunar" did keep popping into my head, but in a world where one everyone seems to have unique names, it'd seem somewhat blasphemous to name someone after a princess/goddess. It'd be different if there were common names (i.e. how we can have several Bills and Joes in the same community), but the pony naming convention pretty much begs originality.

I actually quite enjoy this... Keep up the good work! :twilightsmile: ((Also, feel free to throw in more clop/smut/whatever it's called.))

Meh. I liked the first two thirds, but the ending was kinda rushed.

Oh... I see it continues being rushed. I'll see myself out now.

6720551 That's not the end! :twilightsmile: There's still plenty of drama to go down before I'm through with this!

6720365 There will be two more sex scenes before it's over! You'll just have to wait and find out when :pinkiecrazy:
Glad you're enjoying it so far! :twilightsmile:

Another author got me interested in FlutterMac... :twilightsmile: I am intrigued about Discord's possessiveness of Fluttershy, especially since I suspect we've not seen the end of it... :raritywink:

6712391
No problem, I'm just glad I was able to help~
:pinkiesmile:

Just wanted to let you guys know, I've gone ahead and marked the story as "On Hiatus" for the time being.
Shortly after I posted the most recent chapter, I lost my job and all my free time with it. Two solid months later, I finally have a new job that I start this Thursday, and I might be able to relax again and devote a little time to continuing to write.
Since I can't predict what things will be like in the near future, I'm not going to try to give any kind of a timeline on the next chapter. It's half finished already, but I've been having some trouble writing the next scene and it's taken a toll on my motivation. I'm considering releasing a non-clop version of this story alongside this version to drum up some interest again, and perhaps reach a wider audience; a few kind words would probably help me get back into it.
Anyway, that's what's up. This story isn't over yet, just delayed!

6990989
Glad to hear you have a new job! Take your time and do what you feel is best for the story! Real Life comes first, always!

This is a new take on Flutterbat, both the memory issue and the willingness to work together. Colour me intrigued!

I'm super glad you found the time/inspiration to write more! :pinkiehappy: Admittedly, I would think that Discord would take issue with Flutters playing off the announcement as a simple surprise... Not some secret that was the reason Flutters and Mac were courting in the first place...

As for AJ... I think it's more likely she'd demand an explanation in such a way that would not be conducive to Mac being forthright... But overall, it seems alright.

Looking forward to seeing more from you! :raritystarry:

This was an adorable chapter and I'm glad to see progress being made on this fic. The proposal scene was superb and I love the little brother/sister interaction going on that adds a tense dimension between the Apple siblings. I hope to hear how Shy comforts Mac after that little spat where he essentially had to renounce his father.

I would think that Discord would take issue with Flutters playing off the announcement as a simple surprise...

Discord is a vindictive bitch. He's mad, and he'd much rather watch them squirm as the web of lies slowly falls apart.

As for AJ... I think it's more likely she'd demand an explanation in such a way that would not be conducive to Mac being forthright...

Are you kidding? AJ and Granny are the only ponies alive who know how to get under his skin, they've known him forever. It'll be explained in the next chapter.

7076694 Thanks, glad you liked it! I'm really looking forward to this next chapter, I just hope I'll be able to find the time to write it :x Time has been a scarce commodity lately. Lots going on. I might blog about it soon, idk.

Ah! I was wondering when this story would be continued!

And, I got to say, everypony's taking all this news thrown at them very well! Did everypony just have a xanax cocktail before showing up to the castle?

The conflict, is very believable. And I'm glad Mac didn't explain the circumstances to save his own skin. Hearing that he was technically raped by Fluttershy's alter-ego might cause a little distress.

And at least Discord is being subtle in his Douche-Bagness but, let's be fair, it's Discord! This is mild for him and I am enjoying him being there a little more than before. But dude needs to get laid, badly.

Keep on keepin' on! :pinkiehappy:
