Forget not that I am a derp.
No one expected an experimental spell to transform Fluttershy. Even fewer expected her to enjoy it, enough that she'd want to do it again. Still, being friends with the spirit of Harmony comes with its perks. And with her friends checking in with her regularly, what could go wrong?
Set in the Oversaturated World.

Something something social mammal...
...are you going to be including alllllll the snips in this particular plotline? I wouldn't mind.
I'm not sure why, but that cover art really reminds me of the Spriggans from Skyrim.
...
I really need to catch up on this 'verse.
I'll read this later, but honestly I might as well just favorite it now.
Interestingly, I could see in the future of Twilight's family helping keep Sunny grounded. After all the Tree has lived a very long time. And Sunny doesn't have a Luna to be a long time companion.
A sweet little opener. Looking forward to seeing where this goes.
(I like trees)
7569315 that's assuming that Sunset doesn't bestow immortality/agelessness on some or all of them. Maybe not while they are in High school, but later on in life. Heck on Sci Twi magic itself may just do it just cause it wants a avatar that lasts.
7569246
Chapter three will be entitled "Rarity." You will be credited appropriately.
7569249
I can see why. Same basic "humanoid wood elemental" concept.
7569254
I look forward to you doing so.
7569315
It will become one of the greatest riddles of Shimmerism; why the goddess so favors one family who has a long-held tradition of not acknowledging her as divine.
Sunset won't be surprised by the thick-headedness inherent in this confusion. Saddened, yes, but not surprised.
Alternately...
7569466
Definitely a possibility, and a topic that will need to be addressed in a later story.
7569339
So does Fluttershy.
I sense a treefolk (card) coming.
7569585 nah nah Shyad Is way more likely
Fluttershy enjoys being a tree in both worlds.
I'm in love already
The opening bit with SciTwi, Rarity, and Sunset was especially funny :D Like it was right out of an episode, actually.
I sometimes wish I was a tree. On the other hand, I wouldn't be able to read this fic if I was.
I feel awful for thinking this, but...how long before a dog uses her as a toilet? :-D
7571701
Better question, do you think she'll mind, or will she Stare that dog into the irrational fear of never pissing on trees again?
Edit 1: Where is the Stirrope equivalent? Europe? 'Cause I always thought that was Ewerope.
Idunno. Would she be more of a dryad, or a caryatid?
Cue the loggers, pavers and corrupt government officials.
7572000 This is what shy is now or as close to it since Sunset thought that for long term exposure to sensory deprivation would unhinge Fluttershy. In the shorts following it seems Shy tries to go the Druidic route to changing forms to a tree and back without Sunsets help and gets semi stuck in the middle and becomes more of a Dryad
A funny would be if Applejack discovers and or becomes a Epimeliad on her property, or dresses up as one on a Nightmare night/Halloween.
Reminds me of what Discord said when he made Punchline... Given the similarities. A.k.a Dryads

...
Nice chapter, Sunset being all concerned and stuff...
I wonder if the next person we'll see is Ditzy or some magic-sensitive, where the hiding magic just makes it more noticable... Tree Hugger?
Obviously, on Shy's summer vacation, she woke up, went downtown to look for a job, and hung out by the drug store
Pop culture references aside, I'm adding this to my RiL now.
Every time see this, I can't help but think of how Fluttershy is explicitly a dryad (or at least cut from the same cloth as them) in my own verse.
7571701
Thank you for reminding me of an essential detail that wouldn't have otherwise factored into the next chapter.
7571718
Stirrope is indeed meant to be Europe. "Ewerope" likely applies to some other worldline.
7572000
Caryatids have to be sculpted or carven.
7573113
Thank you for bringing epimeliads to my attention. There are numerous story opportunities to be had with them.
7573190
I definitely had Punchline in mind when mentioning Equestria's lack of dryads. I made a lot of mistakes with My Little Praetor, but there are a few high points among them.
7573722
Great minds think alike.
That really shows how much Rarity loves her friends even willing to go ina area where she hates getting dirty.
7574434 no problem, heck I didn't even know about them myself till I hit up the wiki page I linked it in. Started reading more of the wiki in detail and saw apple dryads and immediately thought Applejack finding something interesting in her trees in a oversaturated universe.
Knew about Hamadryads from a story I read elsewhere, and knew base Dryads from MTG and other literature.
I can taste how good this is.
I don't get to enjoy this type of meal often, so thank you so much for this.
Even if it's going to get... well. Interesting, shall we say? So I don't spoil what happens.
COMMENCE THE SHIPPING!
Fluttertree seems oddly wry and insightful. Not that those aren't qualities we've seen in her before, but they seem to be cranked up to eleven in this form.
Still totes adorbs, though.
7577591 She spent weeks in complete isolation from anything besides animals and other plants. I'm sure she had a lot of time to think about stuff.
7574468
Much like how her equine analogue appeared before royalty while smeared in guano and didn't even care. Rarity will trek through a mile of filth if it's for a friend. They won't see her for the three days it'll take for her to feel clean again, but she'll do it.
7576642
Thank you. I hope you enjoy future courses.
Now I'm picturing Fluttershy walking up to Trostani and politely asking to join them. Actually, that might work as a sequel to The Implicit Neighs.
Dash has Pegasine (is that the adjectival form?) claustrophobia, but Fluttershy obviously doesn't~!
Nice how you mix in Dash's posturing and self-corrections and stuff into the narration!
DAAWWWW Poor Rainbow she was so scared to lose Fluttershy, she should doa tree Hugger and hug Fluttertree....and Kiss.
7577664
7579459
The opening of "Gauntlet of Fire." Given the circumstances, that almost certainly wasn't mud.
7577571 7579106
Not my intent, but there's certainly an argument to be made for that interpretation.
7578099
Much to my surprise, there are no non-changeling Dryad Druids in Magic. Fluttershy would certainly be ahead of her time.
Tempting fate much, anorak?
"What could possibly happen to her?"
Lumberjacks.
Once you leaf, it's hard to come back.
7580601 ...What are you going on about? Since when is Zephyr Breeze a girl?
"Chapter 6 - Park Services and Construction Crew"
...When I suggested Rarity inventing tree-fashion, I meant for the trees.
Buuuut I suppose this makes woefully little sense for Fluttertree here. Not unless Rarity figures out earth-pony style growth magic to apply on complimentary plants, vines and other natural "accessorites", anyhow... or works together with someone who does.
. . .
Okay, so, when will Tree Hugger show up? We all know its coming.
Heck, maybe she'd even like to try being a tree, too.
Doesn't matter that Sunset put up a privacy barrier, Tree Hugger can probably see Fluttertree's shakras all the way from outside the park.
7580440
Hoooooooo boy.
AJ's going to have some words, ain't she.
Basically, trees are bitches.
7583068 Wouldn't that be birches
She's gone down-right ENTISH on us....if not Huornish. This needs to stop. She needs her RDA of Getoverherself.
Pffft.
Awww, that wasn't very nice.
Oh! The narration's not calling Pinkie by her name... I guess it reflects Shyad's thoughts on the person. I'm gonna fall in with Masterweaver and say the next and possibly last one is Applejack, but what will she be called??
7583354 Tree Kicker, Kicker of trees!
... Oh wait. That's the pony version.... Or is it? We have never seen the farm, or how they harvest it. Maybe she does kick trees here too. Especially now.
