Check out the spinoff, Muted Wubs.

On a day like any other, Princess Twilight Sparkle goes about her business in her typical fashion, though with a weight on the back of her mind throughout the day. And it's not long before she needs to confront it. With a heavy heart, Twilight prepares to close a chapter in her life.

The years have been kind to Rarity. A wonderful husband and great friends have softened the reality of time passing. Now in her old age she carries the weight of her limited time, but a chance encounter with an old foe may give her life a new unexpected direction.

A series of short scenes, snippets and skits - attached to various episodes - following a behind-the-scenes relationship between Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash.

Inspired by Bookplayer's "The Appledash Project", which encouraged me to try the same premise with another ship!
