After overhearing a rumor that his friendship with Fluttershy means stallions are too afraid to date her, Discord swears that he will find her the perfect mate. Unfortunately Discord has absolutely no idea what a pony wants in their special somepony. Happily, he has many pony friends now that he can ask for advice, but no matter how much advice he gets, nothing seems to go according to plan.

This is somewhat outside my usual comfort zone, I don't write a lot of comedy and I don't write a lot of Discord, but I had fun doing it, so hopefully you will have fun reading it.

Update: There is a NSFW "deleted scene" from this story in my new clop shortfics collection, Quickies. Feel free to check it out if you're into that.

It was a peaceful morning in the cottage, until Fluttershy woke up to an elder god smothering her with a large pillow.

And ponies wonder why she takes issue with Thursdays.

When Rainbow decides to hang out with Fluttershy, she finds herself in a right bunch when they begin to tease each other. Guess who wins?

That's right.

Fluttershy wins!

Fluttershy wanted to be a pet.

Trixie wasn’t entirely sure what to do with that kind of weird information.

Neither was Fluttershy.

I couldn't resist writing this after seeing that adorable comic.

If by some horrible twist of fate you have not read Pencil's comics before, you should. Right now. Go on, I'll wait.

Standalone, set somewhere between Trixie's Forest Retreat and Trixie's Threeway Trouble.

Fluttershy regrettably decides that it's time for her to get a haircut, so she goes to Rarity for assistance.

This story is a sequel to Idle Claws

Well. It wasn’t that big a deal. He’d just put the sun out.

And now it was just a matter of causing enough chaos to recover his magic to a point where he could fix it.

Without causing so much chaos that he'd actually be in trouble for it.

All before Celestia woke up and noticed.

Discord was in for a long night.

Queen Chrysalis sees an opportunity to break up the Elements of Harmony before they spoil another one of her brilliant plans to rule all of Equestria. Since all of them are unmarried mares, all she needs to do is get them fighting over a stallion. And if one stallion isn't enough, she sends one male changeling for each of them, plus a spare.

Too bad she didn't think this one through first.

Tired of not having anypony in her life, Fluttershy decides enough is enough.

Rarity keeps telling her that stallions are only into 'fluffier' mares nowadays. So Flutters decides to enlist Zecora to floof up her assets, so to speak.

The process works a bit too well.

Fluttershy and Discord have become very good friends lately.

Now if only she could convince him that she's not in his imagination...

Fluttershy has always wanted to give more of her kindness towards ponies. However, her shyness impedes her speaking, which makes her hard to express herself. After asking for her help, Pinkie Pie teaches Fluttershy to communicate with physical interactions instead, like hugs.

It works so well that Fluttershy decides to hug every pony in Ponyville.
