*has never written anything emotional ever*

Just to make it clear, I wrote this thing in about 3 days to "cool off" from writing my other stories. Any criticism so long as it's constructive is appreciated.

So Sad!!!

Seems legit

While this was fantastic, one thought kept going through my mind.

"Isn't Tenderheart a Care Bear?"

Cute

Dawwwww......  

>>11181521118152 I knew those two shows were connected somehow!!!

This was AMAZING!!! There were few grammatical errors but to be honest I really don't care about things like that.

This was so emotional, and I rarely like emotional stories but this one was great, thank you for this story fine sir.FIVE MOUSTACHES FOR YOU

Sad fic from an amazing writer? Definitely reading this tonight.

LET'S HOPE FOR MANLY TEARS!

(Note, I love fics that make me cry.)

Adorable man you really outdone yourself.

This is now my headcanon for how Fluttershy grew up.

Tenderheart...

... Like nurse Tenderheart?

D'awww

As my blood turns to caramel, I cry tears of maple syrup.

So much D'awwwww!

Nope!

If you're that inexperienced in heartfelt stories then it definitely doesn't show!

I really loved the direction you took with this story. We hardly ever see parent-to-child interaction in canon, and when it does happen the scenes are over in  less than a minute. To experience a heart to heart scene like this one... It warms my soul

Keep up the good work and take care!

Don't be saying that now.  This was an amazing story, heartfelt and it wonderfully captures Fluttershy's personality.

I...okay. Wow. You ah. You hit me right in the feels.  Take all of my manly tears.

>>11170191117019

You did a good job on the emotional end, but sadly I don't see the point of this story. It's just Fluttershy being timid and sad.

Not to say it's a bad story. Like I said, you've done a good job writing something emotional. I just don't "get" it.

Cant help but feel like the 'Slice of Life' label would have been another good condiment with this, as il bet some people can make connections to this Awesome work as usual!

Loved every second of it. Amazing

>>11196121119612 Yeah man it was amazing and heartfelt. Your a great author.

Great work

You've crafted a story that make my heart ache because of the blatantly honest insight into Fluttershy's fillyhood difficulties, but at the same time, warming my very soul because of the sweet, loving kindness provided by her mother.

Dear Celestia, what did I just write?

Damn, you! Now you've gotten me all sentimental!

DId you notice how I had not included ANY description of Fluttershy's mother?

Well, for a few reasons:

1.) Obscurity.

2.) The first thing that comes to those who comes across this story if it had the OC tag on it: "An OC of Fluttershy's mother? Next. "

>>13043141304314

The only problem with that... between the "sad/tragedy" tag, the extremely vague description, and the lack of any specifics regarding Fluttershy's mom except the perfect kindness of her personality, and the lack of a father anywhere in the picture, I spent the whole story waiting to have a bombshell dropped on me. At first I thought she was going to be visiting her mom's grave or something (like Penny's story in the Dr. Horrible graphic novel), and then I was expecting an unreliable narrator twist where this wasn't actually Fluttershy's mom but the mom she wished she had, or a fantasy she was living while real life was considerably worse, or... something. I never expected the story to be exactly what it seemed. And I don't know if that's good or bad, to be honest. It's certainly new.

One hooves-up for you sir.

Cheers

This is beautiful! I'm crying tears of d'awwness!

This is very good,  congratulate you on your first emotional fic.

D'AWWWW!!!

That (Sniffle) is all.

I liked this story... I mean if it's o.k. with you...

Any connection between the story and this?

If there was a d'aww tag, this would have it. IT'S SO ADORABLE!

A little sad in the middle part.

But mostly adorable!.
