This story is a sequel to Anchor Foal: A Romantic Cringe Comedy

It's been over a year and when it comes to the little routines of labor and love, Fleur still hasn't managed to fully adjust. She needs to find some means of making it all last. And one thing she can definitely try to do is screen out anything which threatens to make her mate unhappy. Such as, just by way of very unwelcome example, the brother. Because Zephyr wants to be part of Fluttershy's life. He claims to have changed. But Fleur doesn't know whether change is truly possible.

Or if she's really changed at all.

(Now with author Patreon and Ko-Fi pages.)

After Fancypants cheats on her, and discredits her in the eyes of the Canterlot nobility, Fleur de Lis moves to Ponyville to get a new start. While there, she meets a shy yellow pegasus who she remembers seeing on the modeling circuit, and slowly becomes infatuated with her.

Now, if she could just stop putting her hoof in her mouth every time she speaks to her.

Flutter de Lis shipfic loosely inspired by the only other one I could find on this site, the sadly never completed Kindness in Dancing.

When it came to the world of entertainment, Fleur Dis Lee could do it all. She once showed her prowess in acting with her portrayal of princess Luna in the stage play, The Lonely Night. She wowed Equestria with her dancing as she toured the realm with a traveling troupe. Arenas would be sold out months in advance, just to hear her sing, and ponies from all across the land would marvel at how she used magic to either enhance the experience of the show, or would build entire shows around illusion. It wasn't just that she was good at these things that whatever she did sold out, but because she was the best.

But that was in the past, Fleur hasn't done anything for years, content to live in the lap of luxury as Fancy Pants' trophy mare, and be shown off to all the most important ponies in Canterlot at the most important events where anypony who's anypony would be at.

But after a scandal, she suddenly finds herself with no money, no friends, no home, and no sign of help from the stallion she thought loved her. Perhaps it's time for a comeback? But then again, who wants to see a pony that's not famous anymore.

This story is a sequel to The Longest Night

To uncover the truth, Twilight will set sail for distant, ancient lands with old and new friends.

Fancy Pants and his lovely wife Fleur are quite possibly Canterlot's most heroic duet. Together they conquered countless events, faced hordes of snobbish socialites, and emerged victorious from the most dire of faux pas. May their bravery and finesse be forever remembered on parties to come!

There is a missing element in their perfect life, though: the joy of having a child and becoming a family. When conventional methods fail, will the couple muster enough courage to seek out the alternative, or will they stay a duet forever?

Enter Chestnut—a daring filly from beyond Equestria, out of their social stratum, and definitely exceeding their boldest expectations.

For better or worse.

"For want of a nail the shoe was lost;
For want of a shoe the horse was lost;
For want of a horse the battle was lost;
For the failure of battle the kingdom was lost—
All for the want of a horse-shoe nail."

A thousand years ago, Celestia had to banish her sister to the moon because of her tampering with dark magic. After centuries of blaming herself for her sister's loss- the monarch who abdicated from the throne and has been wandering the Equestrian Republic of States has returned to warn of the coming war that she couldn't face.

If only the Ministers of Friendship could hope to trust a pony who leveled Canterlot in grief a thousand years ago and left the sun and moon frozen in the sky in hopes that her lost sister could see that a twilight world could be their domain. Repenting for the sins of the past, an alicorn wanders with her daughters. After all, what use is a Princess of the Sun if the daytime caused her sister's fall?

Discord has one friend. One. A single tie binding him to Equestria, a lone strand of pink tail hair keeping him in some sort of line. His interest in the world's welfare may exactly equal that of his friend's lifespan -- unless there's a next generation for him to adore. And so in the name of the realm's survival, Fluttershy is going to start dating, with Equestria's greatest expert in attracting ponies as her very reluctant prison-sentenced advisor. All Fleur has to do if she ever wants to come home again is get the world's most socially hesitant pony happily married off and pregnant, while constantly keeping Discord in the dark about what's truly happening.

What could possibly go wrong?
