A story of how two ponies, both opposites in personality, formed a bond of friendship and love that lasted throughout an entire lifetime...

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.

If the cover-art and the name of the author for this story wasn't an obvious enough hint, then I shall forewarn you that this story contains FlutterDash shipping.

I do not - nor do I claim to - own any characters or artwork I use in this story unless otherwise stated - they belong to their respective series and owners.

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

Rainbow Dash takes her best friend on an adventure in the sky on a cloud for two.

Co-written with NintendoGal55

Fluttershy longs to be with Rainbow Dash, but she doesn't know how to tell her foal-hood friend of the love in her heart.

Rainbow Dash is coming home from the Wonderbolts Academy today, and all her friends are very excited. Of course none more so than Fluttershy, who hasn't seen her girlfriend in three long weeks. But wait a second, what did Pinkie just say? ...It's Rainbow's birthday too!? Now a frantic Fluttershy must scour Ponyville for the most perfect present bits can buy or face crushing disappointment!

A story of how Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash met as fillies. The joys and hardships of life, friendship, and love and all the surprises that happen along their journey as they become best friends--and much more.

This cute fic includes Flutterdash shipping as well as hints of SoarinFire and TwiLuna.

After about 6 years of hiatus, I have revised and rewritten the whole story so far with the intent of continuing and finishing it. Re-release started in early 2019 with a revised chapter 1. 2020 marks a brand new chapter 9 and the continuation of the tale of two cute social outcasts. 

Thanks to Super3rainbow1 for pre-reading and helping out when I needed someone to bounce ideas around with.

During the Mane 6’s battle against the changelings Rarity witnesses a moment between two of her friends that implies that they are more than just friends, and after the royal Canterlot wedding draws to a close, decides to inform the other members of the Mane 6. Disagreements arise as the four pony’s debate on both the reason for this moment between two of their friends and whether it actually occurred at all and so they begin to discuss their own interpretations of the event Rarity believes she saw.

In this fanfic there are hints of TwiPie, mentions of SpArity, and both hints and mentions of FlutterDash.

If you enjoyed Open to Interpretation then I suggest you also read its companion story, Snuggles and Nibbles by NintendoGal55.

Rarity, Twilight and Applejack discuss one certain moment during the fight scene against the Changelings between Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy, in wonder of what REALLY happened. But what of Pinkie's mention of the two Pegasi snuggling together, nibbling each other's ears, and getting all lovey-dovey?

Here's what was going on all along with Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy!

In an otherworldly night, a sleeper train is making its way back from the frozen north. Sleep, however, is eluding two travelers. One has a hurt that needs to be mended, the other has a dream that must be remembered. It is the perfect night for secrets to be shared.

A FlutterDash one-shot, set at the end of The Crystal Empire, on the overnight train back to Canterlot; uncomplicated romance with slight sad and comedy elements.
