Ponies ponies ponies ponies ponies. And changelings too.

Fluttershy is captured by Caballeron and his gang of thugs and mercenaries. Stuck in a cage in an odd transport vehicle, she's taken far, far away from Ponyville. They are going to Ahuizotl, a name she knows from the Daring Do books, but what could he want with her?

This was written as part of a season 9 writing contest, where each entrant got a different prompt, with 5 random characters or concepts to include.

Chapters (3)

Should I be concerned for poor Flutters, or will this end up being actually funny in the end?

Okay, that was pretty nice.

Brilliant combination of the prompts. This does feel like just the kind of scheme Ahuizotl would concoct if he knew about the batpony transformation, to say nothing of Fluttershy winning over a villain through pet care and the thematic bookends. All that was missing was a reference to Camazotz. Excellent work. Thank you for it, and best of luck in the judging.

Thank you, this comment means a lot. I was honestly rather disappointed in it as I was writing it, but when I went back over it to edit, I changed and removed a couple things and it felt much better than I had felt it was while writing it. Maybe it didn't get a lot of attention, but I'm super relieved that the people who have read it have enjoyed it, so it's a huge relief.

Very nice, very Fluttershy.

>flutterdash shipping

goodbye, get fucked

Sorry that you didn't like it, but I had to include shipping between two mane 6 ponies, and Flutterdash seemed a natural choice since I also had to include Daring Do and Flutterbat. If it wasn't required, I wouldn't have included shipping at all.

At it again with the anti-Fluttershy shipping, LN?

you didn't have to do shit
you always had a choice here
you decided to choose the wrong path

9634302
never gonna stop
and anyways, i can handle certain ships if they're well written
those ships do not and never will include ships between those who are F R I E N D S and will always be just F R I E N D S and who have never been anything but F R I E N D S

I actually did have to, as it was a requirement in the prompt I received, which you can see for yourself in the author's notes at the end of the final chapter.

coulda bowed out, coulda asked for a different prompt
but'cha didn't
and lookit ya now

I don't think you can pick a different prompt.

The point of a writing contest is being given a prompt and working with it, that so happened to be FlutterDash, or at least led to it.

Either way I'm pretty sure every single character in the franchise excluding villains and those already married are "Just Friends" so in terms of fiction I'd say anything goes, but hey that's just me. I'm the kind who prefers giving writers a lot of freedom to do as they do.

I was making out with Fluttershy last night and she said her and RD had been fucking on the side for like, years. RD's first gay experience was in Flight Camp. She said she had no idea who the fuck you were, though, but that you're definitely not in charge of her sexuality.

nice b8 bro
i r8 8/8 no h8
but seriously, be less obvious next time

Huh. I just watched "The Rescuers Down Under," and saw some similarities. Were the similarities deliberate?

Not intentionally, but since I did see that movie a bunch growing up, I can't deny the possibility of it influencing the story some. In fact, thinking back on it, I think I did have Joanna in mind when I was writing about Mona. So yeah, while I didn't add anything deliberately as a nod to that movie, I am pretty sure some influence was there.

How you managed to write such an engaging and suspenseful story out of such a random prompt I have no idea, but props for doing so.

Have a like! 👍

Thank you! That means a lot. I was actually rather disappointed in this story, so that actually does make me feel great to hear. I really should write more.
