A Twilight Filled Love-Shot

Twilight sat out on the balcony, using a fragment of her magic to blot out the last bits of the warm hues that remained from her Dusk, so that Luna could raise her Moon high into the heavens. It was a beautiful sight to behold, and after over a millennium, it still took her breath away to get to even witness, much less be a part of its creation. Yes…over a whole millennium since she had ascended Alicornhood. And a little over a millenium since her found family had died.

All but one.

Wings beating in the air earned a ear flicking as a reaction. A soft smile appeared on her face. There was only one that came the moment the Moon rose. Hooves softly clacked against the marble and crystal infused floor. She looked over shoulder, gazing at the mare who had suddenly made her presence known. Her smile was returned with a gentle smile.

“Good Morning, Twilight.” The mare greeted.

“Good Morning to you too, Fluttershy.” Twilight glanced back out at the horizon. “Did you enjoy your day?”

Fluttershy brushed a strand of her hair from her face, “I mean…I enjoyed the rest…but as for ‘my day’…I have forgotten what ‘Day’ looks like…”

Twilight’s smile morphed into a sad one as she walked up to Fluttershy and nuzzled her muzzle. Fluttershy arched a brow, her crimson irises glimmering in the night.

“Only a nuzzle? Surely I’m more deserving of greater affection than that…”

Twilight with deep regret, inwardly cringed and hesitated. But, she loved Fluttershy so much, that she ignored the thoughts rampaging through her head at the moment. She placed her lips against Fluttershy’s in a loving kiss. She received equal, loving affection from the pony. But, even as the centuries had blended into one another, there was still something she couldn’t quite get used to.

Her lips were frigid cold.

Despite her lowered body temperature, Fluttershy still managed to feel the slight flinch when their lips met. She looked at Twilight with worried eyes,

“I’m sorry…I haven’t um…had a drink yet…”

With guilt in her eyes, Twilight averted her gaze elsewhere. Fluttershy let an awkward smirk grace her lips,

“I promise, I’ll warm up after I stretch out my wings.” Fluttershy stated in half-truth.

Twilight looked over and studied Fluttershy’s form. She was no longer the shy pony that once bore the Element of Kindness. She was a being that was the epitome of beauty and ferocity. She could lure ponies with one of her smiles, then rip them to shreds with the fangs that created said smiles. But aside from being known as a Former Element Bearer, she was also known as a being of the night. Her coat, though it was a paler shade of yellow, still glimmered beneath the moonlight and giving her an ethereal glow. Her mane and tail were longer than before, the ends spilling across the floor like twin waterfalls, giving the appearance of sakura-hued cracks along the floor. Twilight briefly focused on the little tufts on Fluttershy’s ears as they lightly billowed from the whisps of the wind. To the Princess, they were adorable. But only Twilight would tell her that. Only she was allowed to enjoy the gentle side of Fluttershy’s personality that had once been known to all many generations ago. To those of the present, Fluttershy was a graceful but ferocious creature, meant to be feared and respected. Twilight’s smile faltered a bit,

“I’m sorry for the way I reacted. Even though you feel a little bit different, it doesn’t mean you’re not you.” Twilight stated softly. “You will always be my friend…my lover…” she stepped even closer, moving to press her side up against Fluttershy’s barrel.

“You’re still my Fluttershy.”

The wind was cold, and Fluttershy’s body was colder still, but Twilight didn’t care. This was still her closest companion, even closer than she was to Spike. That was not to say she didn’t miss her “#1 Assistant’, as that he was still her brother in every way but blood. But, his dragonian instincts called out to him. His heart no longer remained in the once tiny town of Ponyville, but to the vast sky and what distant continents lay below it. But he had left before the others…did as well…

Twilight was ashamed to admit that she thought Fluttershy would be the first of her friends to go. Equestria had changed into a country of science, machines, and war. Fluttershy was far too kind to be in a world like this. However, as others had slipped away from the War of Revolution or old age, she and Fluttershy became ever closer to one another. By the time Rarity had slipped from the realm of the living, their friendship had blossomed into a love so powerful, that it was as if Cadence had matched them together herself. It was a kind of love that Twilight thoroughly enjoyed, but secretly terrified her, as her immortality would inevitably be the end of this love, and may never give her another. So...as Fluttershy’s death rattle began to echo in their near silent bedchambers, Twilight did whatever she needed to do to bring her back. She used decades of research, a great deal of her Alicornian magic, and blended it with the dark arts to turn Fluttershy’s aging Fruit Batpony body, to that of a true Vampony.

Twilight shivered. She felt something cold nuzzle against her cheek. She looked over at Fluttershy again. She was smiling at her, soothing the Alicorn’s soul and making her heart stutter a bit.

“Are you okay?” Fluttershy whispered. Her voice was raspy, dry from a thirst that a…more ethical drink could not quench. Fluttershy broke out into a fit of coughs that made Twilight wince. She knew what that meant,

“Sounds like you need to do more than ‘stretch your wings’ to warm up…”

Fluttershy looked at her timidly, a silent response and seeking acceptance in her gaze, before turning her eyes to the Moon. Twilight sighed and looked out at the city,

“You should uh…go get something to drink…”

Fluttershy looked over at her worriedly, “A-are you sure? I mean, I would-”

“Fluttershy.” Twilight spoke, more of a way to silence her than as her name. “I…I don’t need to be told the exact details on how you survive. I know what must be done.” a look of sad acceptance crossed her features as she lifted her head to the Moon and gave a false smile of reassurance to her partner. “Go do your thing…”

Fluttershy solemnly nodded, before looking out at the city. Twilight winced as she heard the pops and cricks that signaled the painful morphing of Fluttershy into her true Vampony form.

The thing that Twilight was somewhat afraid of. Through she would never tell Fluttershy that.

The princess stole a glance at her lover’s terrifying transformation. The way that her eyes turned feral, like a beast that had been angered and frustrated from the psychological cage placed upon it. Her fangs stuck out even further than before, ready to dig themselves into whatever prey she got her hooves on tonight. Her mane and tail began to almost frizzle out, tail flicking about in agitation. Her leathery wings snapped open as she prepared to take flight. She slowly looked over at Twilight, her piercing gaze sending another chill through her. This…this was a true monster looking at her. An ancient creature, untouched by the magic of Celestia and Luna and years of genetic domestication from living amongst civilization. Something that could possibly go hoof-to-clawed hoof with the Princess of Friendship. Fluttershy’s eyes studied her, examining and picking her apart, until her soul laid bare and exposed. Her cat-like irises briefly dilated and constricted, and Twilight was frozen under her stare. Sometimes, she feared that Fluttershy would lose control of this monster, and attempt to strike her down, forcing her to-

Twilight gasped. Fluttershy was directly in front of her, her face mere inches from Twilight’s own. Despite the years, she had never been this close to Fluttershy, when she was like this. She didn’t realize just how much taller Fluttershy was in this form. The Vampony leaned in closer. Twilight had gotten a lot better at flying than when she first attained these wings. But even now, after all this time, deep down, she knew she could not outfly this beast that was standing in front of her. This creature that had the lineage of something that was built to attack from the sky. She tilted her head just a little, as if she was going to drive her fangs deep into Twilight’s jugular...

Instead, she aimed a bit higher, and planted her lips on one of Twilight’s cheeks in a kiss. When she pulled away, Twilight was looking at her, removing the stun and confusion from her body one blink at a time. Fluttershy leaned in for a second time and whispered with gravel in her throat,

“I have loved you for a thousand years…”

With that, she gave another pick, this time on the lips, and took off into the night. Twilight put a hoof to her lips like a lovestruck filly, while she watched the Vampony divebomb into the massive city below. When Twilight lost sight of her, she finished Fluttershy’s sentence,

“And I’ll love you for a thousand more…”

Hah, I get it.

“I do…but is has been a while since I’ve been able to enjoy the sun.”

Needs some editing still, but cute.

The Blue Lagoon and it's sequel Return to The Blue Lagoon are better love stories then the Twilight Saga.
Lethal Weapon 4 is a better love story then the Twilight Saga.

5946335 The only one that isn't is Ramsey Bolton and Theon Greyjoy

5946335 Event Horizon is a better love story then Twilight? :rainbowlaugh:

YES A TWISHY FIC OMIGOSH YES!!!
Nice!

...Yes, STILL a better romance story than Twilight.!! ...heck, this is, in fact, a NICE love story on it's own even!

With that, she gave her another pick

*peck, but apart from that it was very nice, and definitely a better love story than Twilight

I really like this

Oh, my yes. I'm so happy! A decent Twishy story!

I like it.
I't nothing spectacular, but i like it.
Maybe another chapter (alternate story line kind of ting) wear Fluttershy actual loses control, but instead of kill mode she turns Twilight. Just a thought. Still a good story
~Tobben

This is adorable!
Dat title tho!

Good story, decent twishy. Though at first I thought that fluttershy had taken over for luna (I assume twilight took over for celestia). Great twist

Nice story my friend. Keep it up!

Yup, the title can't be more correct <3 But enough of saying the truth about bashing on 'Twilight' and say some nice things about this piece of art =3

Great job :pinkiehappy: Was a cute little story, would love to read many more like this~

Was that a 'thousand years ' reference ? I love Christina Perri , she sings beautifully

One! That's... one thumbs up! Ah ha ha...!

Seriously, though, that was very nicely written. Well done! :twilightsmile:
There's one minor grammar mistake I can spot, but that's a bit of a nitpick from me, so I'll keep it to myself. Unless you're interested, of course!

6259145 I dont mind criticism and advice. Generally if I dont catch it before its published, I wont catch it for a while.

Such an interesting idea. I wish this was quite a bit longer, there's so many story opportunities here. Obviously the vampire story is something we've probably all seen a bit too much of, but I think Twilight's role more than makes up for that.
I'd love to see the dynamics of their relationship explored. Twilight is a princess, presumably well loved and respected, Fluttershy kills to live. Does she simply get the pass for being Twilight's lover? What do Celestia and Luna think of this? Twilight might be willing to turn a blind eye because of love and loneliness, but I doubt the other princesses would accept Fluttershy killing or turning their little ponies. And a thousand years is a considerable time to come to terms with something, yet the killing and even Fluttershy's appearance and body temperature still bother Twilight, an aspect of their relationship that had so much potential to build on. Unfortunately considering the title I'm pretty sure this whole thing was meant to be a joke, and I suppose I have to join every other commenter here: yes, this is a better love story than Twilight.

Twilight gasped. Fluttershy was directly in front of her, her face mere inches from Twilight’s own. She had never been this close to her when she was like this. She didn’t realize just how much taller Fluttershy was than her. The Vampony leaned in closer. Twilight had gotten a lot better at flying than when she first attained her wings. But even now, after all these years, she knew she could not out fly the Fluttershy that was standing in front of her. The one that had the blood line of an ancient creature that was built to attack from the sky. She tilted her head just a little, as if she was going to drive her fangs deep into Twilight’s jugular. Instead, she aimed a bit higher, and planted her lips on Twilight’s cheeks in a kiss. When she pulled away, Twilight was looking at her, completely stunned. She leaned for a second time and whispered, with her throat still dry as dust,
“I have loved you for a thousand years…”
With that, she gave her another peck, this time on the lips, and took off into the night. Twilight rubbed her cheek like love struck filly, while she watch the Vampony dive bomb into the city, seeking out a suitable prey. When Twilight finally lost sight of her, she finished Fluttershy’s sentence,
“And I’ll love you for a thousand more…”

aaaaaaaawwwww:heart::pinkiehappy:

I made Fluttershy into a vampony in one of my stories, too. It's my thought that the vampire fruit bat thing infected her with vampirism, Twilight's spell cured her of the fruit-desire and of any current vampire traits, but when she dies, she'll end up a real vampony. This was adorable, but I always pair Fluttershy with Discord. :fluttershyouch:

A MUCH better love story than Twilight.

ok is no one here worried at all that twilight just let a vampire lose in canterlot and dosnt plan to stop her

twilight and fluttershy has to be one of my favor pair, those two are so cute together.

Is this title taken from a Kevin Smith quote? I recall hearing him saying that the dynamic between Bruce Wayne and Alfred was better than Twilight.

7161624 Nah, the title is just taken from a the fact that every love story is better than 'Twilight'.
