When Twilight becomes determined to unravel the mystery of how poison joke does what it does, Fluttershy agrees to help since her reaction to the flower is the least debilitating among all their friends. Things don't go as planned, of course, and the experience changes Fluttershy and Twilight's lives in ways neither of them could ever have imagined.
This story is quite tame as far as the "Sex" and "Fetish" things go, but I figured I'd better rate it "Teen" and put the tags on just to be safe. Oh, and the cover image comes from Asssha on DeviantArt.
Chapters (3)
This was really good. I think that a good plot twist is that twilight likes bigger ponies and falls in love with fluttershy when she's like that.
Oh-ho! Methinks "Muscleshy" is poking's Twilight's suppressed attraction to
the TallestCelestia!Looks interesting. And quite an interesting experiment methodology, if a bit ambitious!
Twilight likes 'em big, it would seem. It makes a certain amount of sense, multiple ponies in her life that have had a significant impact have all been taller than her.
First you make me think of futanari as a serious story focus, and now you do the same with growth? I wish more "fetish" stories were like this one, where the fetish enhances rather than detracts from the story.
I find speculation like this to be absurdly pleasing. Cutie Mark resonance is a neat hypothesis.
Of COURSE it generates a slapstick field along with the anti magic...Discord really outdid himself when he made this one.
Again, Twilight checking like this? More nice things I appreciate.
Darn laughter magic...she should have had Pinkie help investigate...
"Coincidence? I THINK NOT!"
"Um...Bernie..."
Guilty. RIIIIGHT...
Very fun and cute. Appreciating the Poison Joke science and awkward flustered Twilight more than the giantness, but I'm certainly not complaining.
I loved this part! Twilight may be a bit too into Mad Science, but she's got ethics!
Also, very nice job showing Flutters' (unrealized?) attraction to Twilight. And of course it makes sense that Twi would be into very big mares!
This was splendid. Twilight's test procedures (and ethical concerns) were a delight, as was Fluttershy's attraction to her.
I can foresee a new boost in the research on Poison Joke and it's shippi-- its potentially curative applications.
Did it never occur to anyone to wear a hazmat suit?

I thought:
I had a line about that, but it looks like I don't. Lemme pop in and add one now. Thanks!

So...this pollen can somehow get through hazmat suits, and Twilight STILL thinks it's a good idea to study it in such flimsy conditions?
Why doesn't she make a crystal armor suit?
8944684
My thinking was:
That the magic-blocking properties of the concentrate would mean that a crystal armor suit would be very heavy and very difficult for Twilight to move around in. And even if she could move around, how would she move the vials?
Easier just to ask Fluttershy. Because science must be done!

Odd how it's always Fluttershy I focus on when I'm doing my versions of these fetishy topics...
Mike
Interesting start I'm looking forward to more from this story!!
Alright, I'll keep an eye on this.
8944993
THANK LUNA!!! I would hate to think you are not keeping a eye on this.....
Very nice, and I look forward to more. I loved the descriptions, the reactions, and even the characterization.
One thing did jar me a little, and it was the following.
You swapped actors in this. The first part is Fluttershy, but the dialogue is clearly Twilight's. I'd suggest keeping actors (and their dialogue) to their own paragraphs.

That's an:
Easy fix. Thanks for pointing it out!
Mike
8946069 No probs. Thanks for the great story!

Buffershy is a blessing. Had to research what a contralto sounds like though.
I have SEVERAL questions...
But I'm too entertained right now to care. Good job. Tracking.

I did not expect to see you here kind sir! Fancy meeting you again i must say though. I am close to finished with the storyboard but not quite almost
Heh. Twilight getting all hot and bothered over giant Fluttershy nearly made me fall out of my chair laughing.
8947467
What can I say? I'm an infestation. You'll find me everywhere.
8947928
Your not an infestation... your omnipresent.
I have a theory that fluttershy gets more manly when effected with poisen joke. not get a deeper voice.
Good point. But her getting more and more manly is a good theory in my opinion. I am a little byast though. But I bet it super op poisen joke she would be the pony version o dwane the rock jhonsen
So...is it wrong that I imagined Fluttershy sounding like Commander Shepherd?
Poor flutters.
Twilight, you seriously need to sleep.
Oh, Fluttershy.
Dang, man, how do you do it? How do you manage to take a premise like this and turn it into something so tender and gentle and heartbreaking?
Y'know, personally I try to avoid drinking anything foisted on me by someone in such a state...

Even delerius Twilight has her morals though. We're not quite at Want It Need It levels yet.

I'm honestly kind of disappointed that this will only be three chapters, you've written an exquisite story here. it's so rare to find such a lovely depiction of Fluttershy, and even rarer that something really amazing happens to her. Once in another fic I got to see her do a sonic rainboom (flutterboom?) and it was the most glorious thing!

Twilight's has turned into a masochist.
Somehow, I just seem to fall for the stories where lovebirds can't help but hurt each other, and hope, somehow, they find a way to learn not to.
Also angst. Lots of that, on both sides. Beautiful, sharp, resolvable if only it ends up being consistent with the characters... but can they do what it takes to get there?

Oh, if only it were that simple...

If all goes well, the action-packed third chapter will at least serve as an emotionally satisfying conclusion to the currently in motion chain of events. And that may have been the most convoluted sentence I've written in weeks.
Mike
Now silly alicirl left enlarged Fluttershy.... who would xause a panic in Ponyville if she appears in public :P
A lot of Twilight's thought process here mirrors some of my own, especially back when I was in a really bad place in my life. This leaves me torn between "oh no" and "oh yes".
At least until that princess Freudian slip. That was a gut punch.
Well:
It's still Wednesday for twenty more minutes where I am...
Mike
A good ending, and a lovely story. well done. I hope you keep writing, you've a talent for this.
Ah, that hit the spot.
This is a lovely story. It actually reminds me a lot of Biology: A Romance, though if anything I like this Fluttershy better. And though the relationship had a bit of an unconventional start (by fanfiction standards), the story really sold me on it.
This was a lot of fun, I greatly enjoyed this.
This is definitely something I haven't seen explored often. And besides being really interesting, it's also really well written!
This was odd shipping premise, which unfolded in quite unexpected directions, and was thoroughly enjoyable! Nicely done!
Well, that went to some unexpected places, but it ended pretty much as I thought it would. Pretty good overall, enjoyed it thoroughly.
This was INCREDIBLY unhealthy.
Wait, why'd the armor and outfits remain once they were back in reality?
Also, the castle isn't a school, she built the school in her backyard.
And I'm still not sure how healthy this is.
Hmm... This confused me for a moment, since I thought that would make her roughly the size of a house. But then I realized that would only work if she was seven times the height. If she was seven times the volume then, thanks to the square cube law, she's be just less than twice* her normal height, breadth and depth. Which makes a bit more sense (or as much as Poison Joke Mutation (PJM) can, at any rate).
That said, I question having all four ponies riding on her back as they do. Oh, she's be big enough and probably strong enough, given the aforementioned law, but the natural curve of a pony's back would probably make it difficult to stay on if you were only sitting on one side of it. And if she was big enough that that wouldn't be a problem, she'd probably be too big to fit... well, anywhere, really.
I apologize if I'm overanalyzing, it just piqued my curiosity.
Anyway, this was a pretty cute story. Weird as all get out, but in this case that's far from a perjorative. My only main complaint is that now I'm really curious how Twilights subsequent experiments with PJM will go.
