In spring, Fluttershy takes a leap of faith and reveals long hidden feelings to a close friend, leading to a short, passionate affair. But come winter, she discovers what of love lasts when affairs end.

With some time off from her duties at Cloudsdale, Rainbow spends some time with Fluttershy. Her short visit ends up being longer than expected when the day's storm hits prematurely.

Magic is a curious thing, especially for a pegasus. When a high-level spell targets Fluttershy one lazy afternoon, she is shocked to learn that it was a creature from another world, attempting to contact her. At first Fluttershy is embarrassed, and her friends are skeptical at best, yet she feels certain that this could be a good opportunity to teach the creature something about kindness. As she relays these experiences to her friends, she realizes that she might be learning something as well.

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.

With Twilight away in Canterlot, Spike is left to his own devices. But Ponyville isn't the busiest of towns and before long, boredom begins to creep.

So to cheer himself up he decides to go spend time with his friends. Five stalwart companions whom he has known through thick and thin.

But Spike soon begins to realise that really, those are Twilight's friends. Not his.

In fact he starts to wonder whether, since he moved to Ponyville, he's actually made any friends at all...

When something is taken, it leaves a space. This is basic physics, it’s how the world works; the bigger the object the bigger the space it leaves. When something is the foundation, the framework on which everything else is built, the whole structure will come crashing down, leaving nothing but rubble and dust. When something is taken from a pony, she must come to terms with what it is she has lost and what it is she has gained. Rainbow Dash must now find something new, a new foundation on which to build herself, a daunting task if faced alone. Can she resurrect her oldest friendship when she needs it the most?

So this is it; the story I wrote to celebrate my one year Fimfiction anniversary. Huge thanks to AppleDashFan123 for proof reading and generally giving great advice. I've put a lot of work into this and I hope you enjoy it. As you can see, the cover art is a little plain. If you know of any cover art I could use, check out the blog post I made about the subject. As always, if you notice any spelling or grammar mistakes, please let me know.

Now has a companion story! With All My Heart, Fluttershy

"'My Dearest Fluttershy...?' ... naw, too cheesy...
'Dear Fluttershy...?' ... too formal...
'My Beautiful Butterfly...?" ... Waaaaay too lame. I... might need some help."

When you're not a romantic and you're too prideful to say it to their face, sometimes you need a little help to write "I love you."

This story is a sequel to My Dearest Fluttershy

A companion story/sequel thing to My Dearest Fluttershy

After Fluttershy accepts Rainbow Dash's confession, she finds a note dropped on the ground by Rainbow herself.

The collection of insecurities and lies inside cause her to spring into action.

After the events of "Filli Vanilli," Pinkie Pie approaches Fluttershy with apologies. But when Fluttershy probes into just why and for what Pinkie is apologizing, Pinkie finds out that there are quite a few friendship lessons she has still to learn.

This story is a sequel to Faster

Fluttershy had the best, most loyal pony in the world as her fiancee. But after the events of Faster, Rainbow Dash is gone. Now, weeks after the funeral, she still blames herself and own weakness for Dash's death. She also has questions. Who is this bigger, stronger pony glaring at her in the mirror? What hasn't she been told about Dash's death? When did this giant hole appear in the side of her bedroom wall? Why is she suddenly so quick to anger? And how will she handle the fact that the reports of Dash's death have been slightly exaggerated?

The kindest, gentlest, most soft-spoken pony in Ponyville is about to become the strongest pony in all of Equestria.

What happens when she gets mad?

Sequel to Faster. Featured 2/7-2/9. Added to Twilight's Library 2/7.

Note: I have left enough clues for you to piece together what happened without having to read Faster, but really, you should read Faster before reading this. It's a Nolan Sequel, not a Burton Sequel. (In terms of a continuity, I make no promises as to quality)

Additional Note: Because Knighty is a tyrant, I can't tag everyone on the poster, because my poster has six characters. But rest assured, I didn't work this hard on a sequel to Faster without eventually getting around to the fate of Dash.
