Be brave. That's Fluttershy's mantra as she heads into Sugar Cube Corner to confess her feelings for a certain pink pony. She can do this; she can...

Destiny is a funny thing.

Sometimes, at the drop of a hat, our destiny can change. Sometimes, we don't even notice it, and what we end up with is something that doesn't belong. Even after our true friends step in to right what was wrong, a false destiny can leave something behind, and all you can do is ignore it... or embrace it.

Set shortly after the end of Magical Mystery Cure

Some ponies are shy creatures, and try to get through life without getting noticed too much. Other ponies are massive, hulking brutes that make as much noise as possible.

The two are seldom related.

Ever since the Bearers of the Elements of Harmony had released Discord from his stoney prison, Fluttershy had gone out of her way to make him feel welcome. It was something Discord had taken for granted, enjoying the attention she gave him. When the opportunity arose to fully embrace his chaotic nature once more, he took it gleefully, despite the fact that it meant the betrayal of his friend. He eventually saw the error of his way and received forgiveness, and at first all was well, but on returning home, and with time to think a new emotion is stirring deep within his chaotic heart.

Rarity is at her wits' end. Try as she might, she can't come up with an idea for her charity fundraiser. But Applejack can, and now she has to convince Rarity and Fluttershy to take part in the last thing either of them wants to do.

This story is a sequel to Path of Kindness and Blood

As written in prophecy, after a thousand years of banishment, the two faced princess shall return and change the world. Pureblood thestrals and their clans are awaiting her return, ready to support her.

Fluttershy, the decades old pureblood thestral, sought refuge in Ponyville after death of her parents. She’s faced many trials and hardships while forging many friendships and forming a small clan of her own.

Now, as the night of the two faced princess’s return is dragging near, it is up to the young pureblood and her friends to face her. Will they help Luna to surface and convince her to lead thestrals down the road of peace, or will they fail and Nightmare Moon will lead them down the path of conquest?

To make matters worse, Moon Shadow, the most powerful pureblood, may have plans of his own.

Fluttershy takes care of Lightning Twister when he becomes very sick and weak.

Rumor has it that if a pony says Discord's name five times in front of a mirror, he's forced to appear there.

So who thought something like that could actually be true?

As well as annoying.

Discord and Fluttershy take their relationship further by sleeping together in her bed.

Rated for some suggestive bits.

After a run in with a spell gone wrong that involved Twilight Sparkle, vampire fruit bats, a lot of staring, and then resulted in an unfortunate apple massacre, Fluttershy thought her life had returned to normal after Twilight successfully removed the spell’s effects.

That was until she started waking up in the middle of the night with the odd cravings for apples.

What started as just mild attacks of the midnight munchies soon became frequent late night excursions to the Apple family orchards, with only hazy memories and the lingering taste of apples left when Fluttershy awoke to find herself near or sometimes even in the branches of an apple tree.

Unless she can find a way to control the unwelcome urge to gorge herself on the ripe, red fruits, one of her best kept secrets is bound to be discovered.
