Chrysalis kidnaps Rainbow Dash and holds her for ransom.

This same Rainbow Dash also happens to be engaged to the immensely powerful Alicorn Princess Twilight Sparkle.

Chrysalis is not a very smart changeling.

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 Flutterdash was HERE
The background was HERE

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

After Rainbow Dash accidently crashes through the library window and interrupts Twilight's newest spell, she is split into six ponies, each representing a part of her personality. These ponies will be sure to have their fun, much to Ponyville and Rainbow's friends dismay.

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.

Enormous thanks to NATOstrike and Shadowsreached for their awesome proofreading and feedback-ing! Thanks also to Tarantad0 for letting me use that amazing Jousting Fluttershy picture.

Not all scars are visible. Fluttershy was the object of countless jokes and taunts aimed at her aerial ineptitude and her close relationship with Rainbow Dash during flight school. Even now, years removed from the fillyhood traumas of her past, Ponyville's resident animal expert feels the effects. She tried to build walls to keep all of the memories at bay, but now those walls are a little too close for comfort.

Rainbow Dash rallies up the pegasi of Ponyville, alongside Twilight and Spike, to train and prepare for Tornado Day. However, Fluttershy's lack of participation coupled with her insecurities and anxiety hinders Rainbow's determination. It's not easy when all she wants is to share this with the pony she loves and encourages her to do her best.

Aspects of Hurricane Fluttershy from Rainbow Dash's perspective, alongside some FlutterDash.

On a dark night filled with even darker magics, an insane cult attempts to give Nightmare Moon a body and life of her own, utterly separate from Princess Luna. But, when the spell is interrupted by Celestia, something unexpected is created.

Now, a little black alicorn filly named Nyx finds herself living under the care of Twilight Sparkle, only to be haunted by memories and emotions from her past. Is she Nightmare Moon reborn or is she simply a doppelganger with a soul and mind of her own? Can Twilight Sparkle protect Nyx from those who refuse to see past her dragon eyes and black coat?

Or, will Nyx be forced to inherit the sins that may not even be hers and become the greatest evil Equestria has ever known?

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."
