Flutershy has long had a crush on her oldest friend, and the weight of her longing has been bringing her down. Can the Ponyville's resident vetrinarian find love without being cut too deep?

Many many manly tears were shed

"I'd give up forever to touch you"

I see what you did thar :moustache:

Like a fast, superheated tungsten rod to the heart and out the other side.

You seem to love the Goo Goo Dolls, don't you? XD

I hope a fast, superheated tungsten rod to the heart and out the other side is a good thing in this context.

Yeah, this chapter is where it kicks in - I had envisioned it to be more evenly spread, but this is the way it came out.

Oh, it was beautiful. It's rare that an author can get the reader to the same feelings -or close enough- as the character. Like I said, like a high-speed super-heated tungsten rod to the heart and out the other side. And that shit has an enormously high melting point.

I read several happy and adorable fics already, so it's okay now. But goddamn, this is weapons-grade tragic.

Beautifully done!
Shy was kept true to character, and this is one of few fics that don't default to RD being a FF.
This is the best FiM fic i've read that connects to the character save only for 'my little dashie' which is not a bad title to be seconded by.

I CANNOT wait for more

I've loved it, even tough it was very sad. And taking into account that I once thought about cutting myself (thank celestia I didn't did it) that make a hole appear in my chest, but I loved it anyways

Very well done. This is a very good piece well written and in character. Especially with the fact that it takes a look at the ponies in question not only dealing with real problems, but also dealing with them in real ways. Plus coming from a very similar situations, I can say that it is incredibly accurate on the thought process. Good Job:ajsmug:

excellent, but too sad for my taste :fluttercry:

OMG i was listing to my music while reading this and the song that was playing when i read the last line was iris!!

i love how you incorporated the song into the story, im cruently going through it with a word doc and the lyrics and copying all the lines from the song you used, i saw that you have the line"and you can’t fight the tears that ain’t comin’" twice

i found the hole song in fluttershy what fluttershy said.......


I’d give up forever to touch you.
because… I know that… you’d feel me… somehow.
You’re the closest to heaven that I’ll ever be!
…and I don’t want to go home right now
All I can taste,
“is this moment, and all I can breathe is your life.”
‘cause sooner or later it’s over,
and I just don’t want to miss you tonight
and I don’t want the world to see me
Because… I don’t think that they’d understand.
when everything’s made to be broken… I… just want… you to know… who I am.
and you can’t fight the tears that ain’t comin’.”
I guess you can’t fight the tears that ain’t comin’ or the moment the truth in you lies.”
when everything feels like the movies?”
…you bleed just… to know you’re alive.”
and
I don’t want the world to see me…
“I just don’t think that they’d understand.”
… when everything’s meant to be broken…
I just want you to know who I am.”
“I don’t want the world to see me, because I don’t think that they’d understand, but when everything’s meant to be broken, I just want you to know who I am.” Please, know that Fluttershy is always your loyal subject in all kindness. And I, as always am.”

Yeah, when I wrote that line the first time it felt best there, but when I was working in "or the moment the truth in you lies" I felt like I needed to add in the context of something not being able to be fought, and didn't think she'd say the same thing twice without some mention that it had previously come up.

“When… when everything’s made to be broken… I… just want… you to know… who I am.” She looked up, crying harder than she could remember. * I c wut u did thar. That's a cool song. Very nice story. Can't wait to see how it turns out.

xD I'd love to see Celestia's reaction to that letter, I bet in all her wisdom see wouldn't have seen THAT coming lol. Her reaction would be priceless.

I like the song reference. Way to go.

Geez, so far this is really mirroring my coming out and being rejected by my best friend. It was over ten years ago, but...:fluttershysad:

This entire fanfic was like the story of my life (At least, recently) minus the cutting, plus it incorporated one of my most favorite songs in existence. :heart:

Many, many respect points for you.

I loved the song way before reading this. i loved how you incorporated the lyrics without the singning. Thanks for the good read.:yay:

the Androcratic Oath

What you did.

Its there.

And I see it.

I don't want the world to see me

Is what I think is going to happen about to happen.

I don't think they'd understand

Yes, yes it did.

“I don’t want the world to see me… not like this.”
“Not even any of our friends?”
“I just don’t think that they’d understand.”

Is that like, your favorite song or something?

Yes, yes it is. True story: based on your post's timing, while you were reading this, I was setting up my new record player and listening to my first song on a vinyl album I own. It was Iris. Learned how to see where on a record to start the needle if you want to skip songs and everything just so it would be my first.
