Rainbow Dash secretly has romantic feelings for Fluttershy that have been fermenting for years. The yellow Pegasus, with her kind heart and gentle nature, brings out the best in everypony around her. Rainbow Dash feels that Fluttershy makes her a better pony, but she knows that Fluttershy doesn't see herself at the level of greatness on which she sees her.

Fluttershy feels romantically attracted to Rainbow Dash, whom she feels she owes everything. Few ponies know, but Fluttershy has suffered from clinical depression since flight school. Having Rainbow Dash stand by her always made things better, as if the cyan mare unknowingly helped shoulder the burden of the mental illness. Fluttershy is certain that Rainbow Dash doesn't really see just how much she inspires other ponies and keeps them going.

The two mares have to follow their hearts and take a chance on their feelings to overcome their own personal obstacles, along with whatever else life throws their way, including a mafia-run Cloudsdale. Rated T for later chapters

This story is a sequel to Nightmares Are Tragic

How does Fluttershy feel about being forced to confront her worst nightmare -- a full-grown Dragon? Can she be brave and conquer her fears -- or will she be the coward she knows she is inside, and fail her friends at the worst possible moment?

S1E07 "Dragonshy," from Fluttershy's perspective.

Very early September, YOH 1500. Part of the Flutterarc. Side story to Chapters 3-6 of All the Way Back

Life's been hard for Sunset ever since the Fall Formal. She's chronically lonely, much of her free time is dedicated to work and studying, and her classmates still don't trust her. Regardless, she's committed to making things right and improving herself one day at a time.

Most of her new friends are trying to make her feel welcome, but everything feels so forced and awkward at first. This is made worse by Rainbow Dash who seems intent on making things difficult for Sunset. Are they just incompatible? Or is there a deeper reason they can't seem to get along?

This story begins a couple months after the events of the first Equestria Girls movie.

This also takes place before the events of "Can You See What I See?", but you don't have to read that to understand this or vice versa.

While Fluttershy is out doing her daily business, a sudden storm catches her off guard, leaving her at the mercy of a strong air current. With the situation of a weak flyer in the middle of a violent storm with no witnesses in sight, only one thing happens - it leaves her stranded in a deep ravine with only the howling of the wind and her aching body for company.

While the rain pours, she decides to pass the time, and instead begins to ponder her relationship with her blue pegasus companion.

She can only wonder if she'll even have a future with Rainbow Dash if it doesn't look like help is on the way at all.

Scootaloo finds a photograph in a box of Rainbow's old things, and Rainbow tells her the story behind it - the story of how she and Fluttershy met, grew close, and finally came to live in Ponyville...

Sequel: The Past of a Shy Mare

Rainbow Dash has never been seen around her parents. Nopony knows what they even look like. She's been raising herself since she was a little filly after what happened. She's alone in Ponyville. Her friends have moved on to much bigger things. They write to her and keep in touch, but they never visit. Their schedules are full of other things that need to be done. She tells her parents story now because of the dark secret she has kept since her friends leaving.
This is my first Slice of Life and Sad fic, so I don't know how it will turn out. The idea came from a picture I saw with RD and Fluttershy. I hope you like it!
Also, check the date of this story. I started writing it before we saw her dad in episode 12 of season 3.

Once Fluttershy realizes her cutie mark has to do with animals, she wishes to move to Ponyville. However with things stopping her, she starts to lose hope, happiness being sapped from her life. However, Rainbow Dash decides otherwise and does everything in her power to make her smile again.

Story takes place two months after Rainbow's first sonic rainboom in Cloudsdale, back when they were fillies.

(One-shot, but I am continuing due to demand)(has some adult situations, but didn't know if it deserved the sex tag since it wasn't detailed.)

“Oh my dear mother
I love you so
Till seeds turn to trees
With you, I will be.”

Find out the true meaning of the phrase "I would like to be a tree" through an untold part of the train ride to Appleloosa. Because we all need to understand, hardly any phrase is muttered without a story behind it.

Two friends reuniting after a semester at college at a group reunion. Each have different experiences, and yet both Rainbow and Fluttershy find themselves at the same conclusion: college tends to suck.

“It’s cool… everything is cool,” Rainbow whispered to herself, staying in her car as she looked at the house lit in a warm, inviting yellow glow. Snow darted the ground from the curb to the stairs, foretelling the beginning of winter.

After all, this was Christmas Break: and after spending a few days with her parents, she had opted to attend her best friend’s reunions. And this would be the first time she saw the rest in a while. All with stories from their college days, and all would probably be good…

Meanwhile, what the hell did she even have to say?

Or what comes between semesters.

A Breezie Jinglemas story for Mist.

Rainbow Dash wants to take her marefriend Fluttershy out to a nice meal on Hearths Warming Eve, she'd got something important she wants to tell her. If only she can get up the nerve to get the words out.

Written for SuperWriter2329] for Jinglemas 2022 based on the prompt I would like to have Rainbow and Fluttershy on a romantic date in Cloudsdale, not the EQG one. You can put in some funny and comedy elements in there, but not too much. Also, make it so that the two kissed at the end of their date.

Many thank's to Rixizu for suggestions.
