After an unfortunate accident resulting in a mistimed prank, Fluttershy is left temporarily blinded, and Pinkie offers to take care of her. During an interview with a curious Twilight Sparkle, Fluttershy reveals an incident with an ancient temple leading the Mane Six to a dark adventure deep in the Everfree Forest.

You can find a fantastic comic version of "A Sight for Really Sore Eyes," the first chapter. It was on DA by SpeccySY, but it can still be found here: [link]
Chapters (16)
I've seen the comic before the fan-fic, and to say the least it was a good read for the first 2 chapters. Can't wait for the others.

Thank you very much. I hope to have the next chapter up soon.
I read "A Sight for Really Sore Eyes" on DA before, but I had no idea there was more! FlutterPie (or PinkieShy if you prefer) is the sweetest couple! And now you're saying there will be even more?
I can't wait!
I can't say much about the story itself, as I have a habit of making walls of text when I get to it... I think all that needs to be said can be compressed to one sentence: It's a very well written story with in-character ponies and huge amounts of D'awww.
Keep up the great work, and thanks for posting it here, too!

Godspeed you magnificent bastard-BlazingShadowBrony

P.P.S. This sign off is meant to speak about me, for I must move with Godspeed to deliver all the herd's messages they assign. You are magnificent, I am a bastard!
woho update
and I like it ^^
Update, yay!
The beginning, though, poor Shy. I'm glad it was just a dream. Otherwise, pretty good. There's something that bothers me with your dialogue, though, especially since I read the previous chapter again before this one. In the previous one there seemed to be some capitalisation and punctuation errors. In this part I didn't really notice any of those, but still there is something that bothers me, but I'm not sure what it is. Maybe it's the fact that the sentences are all pretty short and you use pretty simple words most of the time. Maybe it's the fact that you don't really describe anything in detail. I understand it could be a choice to not describe stuff that much.
Also the part where Shy came to Sugarcube Corner while Rarity was there. At which point did she come in? How much did she hear? It's a small thing, but at least I would like to know small stuff like that. If it's not your style, then I can live with that but I wanted to point this out in any case.
Anyways, a good chapter, they are still cute!
Don't take my comment the wrong way, I still like this story! I just point out stuff that could be "better", at least with my way of thinking. I hope to see more of PinkieShy!
Great story, can't wait to read more! Tracked!
I saw the comic too...
Man you make some pretty good ideas.

Thank you very much. I'm glad that you enjoyed the story, and I look forward to my continued survival.

Thank you very much. :D

Thank you very much, both for the kind words and the feedback. I understand that things are not as fully described as they could be, and I suppose that it's more of a style issue. The scene you mentioned with Fluttershy entering Sugarcube Corner was more about her just walking into the room than sitting quietly for a while. Since you have to ask, I didn't a well on that point as I could have.
Once again, thank you very much for the feedback, and I will give this a closer look in the future. :D

Thank you very much. :)

Thank you very much. I love SpeccySy's work on the comic.

To be honest with you, I actually imagined the scene so that Shy is just coming in, hears Rarity and starts turning around at the door right away. I just chose this particular scene as the example because it was easy to demonstrate my point with it.
Also, now that I think about it, your style does leave the details for the reader's imagination to figure out. Like the scene already mentioned. That still leaves the simple language, but that could be just me.
Anyways, as long as all I can "complain" about is small stuff, I'm happy. :)
Oh my GOSH!! that so sweet...
D'aww this is cute.
This series is fantastic. A Sight for Really Sore Eyes was the third fanfic (first shipfic) I read and it was the one that got me hooked on the romance genre.
You, sir? ma'am? person, are a fantastic author!
Keep up the good work.
Great chapter, some interesting hints at plot line (old ruins eh?) and characterization is right on the mark. Even Fluttershy is acting with a little more enthusiasm, guess pinkie pie is making quite the impact.
And i also like your hints at apple jack and Rainbow dash...
I kind like this story.

Mission accomplished.
Thank you, and I'm sorry about the delay in my response.

Thank you. I appreciate it.
>>Banksyt
Thank you very much. Pinkie is helping her become a little more confident, and their exploration of the ruins is going to be a lot of fun to write.
AppleDash is still up in the air, but I can't say for certain right now.
Sorry about the delay in my response.
>>Dr.Jekyll
Thank you very much. I appreciate the kind words. I greatly appreciate it.
Sorry about the delay in my response.

UPDATE!!!!!!!!!!
382787
Yup. An update that's taken far too long.
382843 eeyup
Haters have been kick assed by a cute "fillyfooler", that´s justice
Ohh boy, those ponies are in for it.
Attacking the two times saviors of the world, who rescued Princess Luna from insanity (And possibly Princess Celestia from imprisonment), and the close friends of Celestia's protégé...
They're screwed.
Awesome I'd been waiting for this. It's one of my favorite stories and not just because it has two of my favorite ships (Pinkishy & possibly MacDash?). There is real emotion here with the love between Pinkie & Fluttershy, Applejacks struggles and the haters. Plus all the suspence about those ruins has me on edge. This is a great story and I cant wait to reaad more of it.
383170 Yup. It sure is.
383727 You have no idea. Not only did they pick the wrong ponies to pick on, they're dumb enough to probably try again. They'll really be in a world of hurt then.
383739 Thank you very much. I enjoy showing Pinkie and Fluttershy having fun as a couple and Applejack struggling to be supportive of her friends. The ruins will be an adventure on their own, and that's not including the fact that the ponies haven't been officially taken into custody.
Shader I hope the like mmmm bananas!!! cause there going...
TO THE MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!
The next chapter will be interesting.
Awesome story so far. 
558196
Thank you very much. I'm working on the next chapter now, and I hope to have it up soon.
That was pure awesome of course but for some reason I really want to hear Rainbow's 'if you hurt my oldest friend I'll make sure they never find your body' speach... i think she'd be pretty convincing
It's true some days are dark and lonely and maybe you feel sad, but Fluttershy will be there to show Pinkie that it isn't that bad.
That doesn't fit the rhythm at all, but it fits the story so... yeah
630943 Just give it a tug or two in the lyrics, so you can maintain the momentum and it'll be fine.
I read the comic, went "Dawww" and I'll read the fic as soon as I have another free moment.
The pink pony looked up and smiled at Pinkie
Is it me or does that sentence kinda weird?
631200
Good eye. Fixing it now. It was supposed to say "the pink maned pony".
630940
Thank you. It would be interesting to hear that speech. I bet Rainbow could be pretty menacing when it comes to protecting her friends.
630943
It does seem a bit strange, but they'll help each other. Pinkie will help Fluttershy come out of her shell, and Fluttershy can be the calm center in the happy tornado that is Pinkie.
631050
SpeccySy did an awesome job on the comic. I look forward to hearing you thought on the story.
