An alternate take to the ending of Always the quiet ones by Eddy13. Please click the link to read his story first before reading this one.
This story take place after Fluttershy explained all the misunderstandings her friends came across when they thought she murdered Rainbow Dash. When Fluttershy tried to apologize to them, Rainbow tells her that she doesn't need to apologize and that they are the ones at fault for everything. Fluttershy disagree with her girlfriend statement and once again gives a logical explanation as to why they were at fault as well.
WARNING SPOILER AHEAD
Chapters (1)
Nice alternate take on the original. To be honest Rainbow being an ungrateful jerk in the original didn't really bother me, since I can understand why she would react to them thinking shy murdered her in that way, especially in that initial moment. Not to mention even in the original Fluttershy calls her out on it, despite it not being as effective. My only issue was Rainbow saying they should have had a better reason than believing one of their friends was murdered to look in their house, since Fluttershy for god knows why says it's a fair point, when it's anything but. Also nice take on the "wrestling" match. I always figured in that moment they weren't acting and Rainbow learns the hard way that Fluttershy actually has true power behind her dominatrix act. Though I like the idea of it being more playful and an act much better. I especially like them wanting to bring the others into it, since it shows how similar they actually are and how they ended up together.
Fluttershy just spent most of the fic defending them, believing Rainbow was murdered and did a great job that said girl herself, who is notorious for being stubborn, was completely and genuinely convinced, instead of grudgingly doing so. Yet, here they both express surprise that they believed that.
I definitely remember feeling real miffed by Dash’s attitude in the original, so seeing a story addressing it is a welcome surprise.
