After a long day in town, Fluttershy feels ill. While trying to recover, she has strange dreams and starts to recall meeting somepony on her way home that day. Hopefully, she'll recover soon, and be able to enjoy another blue, sunny day with her friends.
CW: Animal death and Suicide.
Expanded from an entry for the Quills and Sofas Speedwriting's "Colorful Characters: Fluttershy" contest where it took second place. The only requirement for the contest was to write a story centered on Fluttershy in an hour. However, I've had the idea for ages, and glad I finally wrote it.
Chapters (1)
So, I'm a little confused. Was there some vampiric qualities to that dream stallion that caused Fluttershy to go savage, or did something bite her while she was out?
Or was it even vampiric? What caused it?

Yes, the stallion was a vampire.

Okay, that makes much more sense, thank you.
A Good read!
I feel like when Fluttershy is in the afterlife she would sing with her evil self Confrontation from Jekyll and Hyde
This was a great read, really well executed tragedy. I’m a sucker for a good vampire story (pun very much intended). The mix of confusion and conflicting desires in the last third works for me, it made the way Fluttershy succumbed feel in character, not forced just for the plot. My only critique would be that I don’t think you don’t need to personify her vampire desires with a literal dialogue at the end; the piece loses its subtlety a bit at that point. But I did really like the build up to Angel’s inevitable fate, that was some good suspenseful writing.
I like it
I like the death
Hrm...
Nice. Somewhat depressing, but nice.
What I liked more about this story is subtlety.At first, I thought that Fluttershy is just tired, then, that she is sick(ngl, I thought of cancer) and then we find out the truth is entirely different and can actually be canon...
This deserves MUCH more likes and comments. Very well done
!
I only wish it was longer, with Twilight discovering Fluttershy's 'problem' and trying to help her, cover for her, and so on, while Fluttershy struggles with the urges.
Still, a great story
