When it comes to light that Rainbow Dash didn't properly pass her citizenship test to come to Ponyville, Pinkie Pie comes up with a crazy idea to keep her from being deported: get married! When Rainbow can't find a pony to go along with the idea, Fluttershy volunteers to help her friend. However, as the two start living their lives as wife and wife until Rainbow's citizenship is approved, they begin to realize that it's not just an act anymore.

Fluttershy's last expedition to find and observe the breezies had been an amazing experience for her, all things considered, but if there was one thing about it she hadn't loved, it was having nopony there to share the experience with.

Now, presented with the similar opportunity, Fluttershy decides to invite Rainbow Dash and Rarity on her latest expedition to the Crystal Forest. The expedition, however, ends up being far more dangerous than any of them ever expected...

As well as having to avoid the ever-present threat of the wildlife living on the island, the three are forced to deal with seemingly inexplicable magical phenomena and the mental toll of being separated from one another. They discover forgotten history buried in time, new and exotic creatures, and, for Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash, emerging feelings for each other.

Note: takes place before the events of Season 4

A year is made up of four seasons, each with its own identity and experiences. These same four seasons can be said to describe the life of a relationship. The relationship between Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash rises and falls with time, but through sadness, hardship, joy, and laughter, they both love each other with a depth that cannot be fathomed.

This is but a glimpse into the life of that love, told over the course of a year – a year of four very different seasons that span a lifetime.

Winner of the Four Seasons of FlutterDash contest.

Rainbow Dash loves flying more than anything else in Equestria. At least that is what her friends think. In truth she loves Fluttershy more than anything and would even trade her wings for a chance to snuggle with the mare of her dreams... but of course that would never happen, after all...cool ponies didn't cuddle. Cuddling was for mushy romance novels and a criminally adorable yellow Pegasus. A Pegasus who had a long mane and tail and smelled like wild flowers. An aromatically inciting mare who should be arrested immediately if she ever wore those pink socks that matched her mane again. Then if Rainbow got into the Wonderbolts she could be the arresting officer and use all the latest interrogation snuggles and tickling implements to get Fluttershy to confess to her crimes of being twenty percent cuter than Equestrian law would allow... but no... Cool ponies didn't love cute things... cool ponies didn't like hugging shy mares in pink socks... and most of all, cool ponies didn't cuddle...

Well here it is everyone! I had this whole description written out, but when I woke up this morning, it was gone. So I can't remember everything so I'll just tell y'all about the cover art.

The background was HERE

Since I can't think of anything else, I'll see you at the next chapter.

With her official audition for the Wonderbolts only a week away, Rainbow Dash has been pushing herself far beyond her limits, and it's beginning to take a toll on her body. Fortunately, Fluttershy has just the solution for the stressed-out pegasus: a tried-and-true method of relaxation that's worked on her for years.

And she's determined to try it out on Rainbow Dash, no matter what.

Distance can drive us apart. It can also bring us closer together.

After all is said and done, and the ponies have gone their separate ways, the only way they have to keep in touch is through letters.

It's time for Ponyville's annual Storm Day, and once again Rainbow Dash needs to be on point. Except this time, she isn't. And one little mistake could cost her one of her best friends- and the unspoken feelings between them.

If this seems familiar to you, that's probably because it is. This was the first story I ever submitted to the site, but it's now being almost entirely revamped thanks to a collaborative effort between myself and the awesomely awesome DJ GarV the Expert.

It'll be a grand journey, I tell you. Come along!

Rainbow Dash is fighting for her life after a terrible accident. Will she be able to tell her friends her feelings for them? And will she survive?

Winter, for some ponies a fun time of the year where they get to play in the snow and skate on the ice. For some ponies, winter is but a bothersome time of year when the snow gets in their way and they try to keep warm each day. For Fluttershy, it is a lonely time of year, a time where she feels as empty as her house.

Each winter day, each and every year when the winter season comes, Fluttershy awakens to loneliness. This year though, things are slightly different. This year, she has somepony beside her to listen to her pains and try to fill the void of loneliness.

This story is a sequel to A Robust Solution

When Rainbow Dash finally agrees to come along with Fluttershy and see a butterfly migration, the blue speedster expects a relaxing, even boring camping trip, not a journey of discovery regarding the true natures of herself and her foalhood friend.

Takes place around the 15th of October, YOH 1500, right after "Call of the Cutie" in the TV series.

This is a sequel to "A Robust Solution" in the Flutterarc, but you don't have to have read the other story first.
