Fluttershy often listens to the secrets of friends and others around her. Most days, she doesn't mind at all. But secrets carry their own hidden weight.
Thank you to Tsitra, Yossarian, Delta, and Rose Quill for prereading!

Still a sweet little thing!
A beautiful vignette. Thank you for this!
I love how this starts out as a series of seemingly-unconnected snippets, but everything gradually comes together as both an overall storyline and a secondary theme about relationships and fear of change. In the lighter-than-real-life world of ponies, problems like these seem perfectly in place, but they still have lessons that can translate to most everyone, both those of us who worry and who keep each other's worries. Thank you for this!
Maybe I'm just hungry but it felt like reaching into a bag from Five Guys for your cup of fries and making the discovery that someone added a whole layer of extra fries underneath the rest of your order. I could feel the weight being added as the secrets began to compound and the quiet strength needed bear them while remaining loyal to a promise. A fine way to round out an evening.

I'm glad I wrote in an extra layer of fries. Extra 5 guys is delicious. And this story was really fun to work out.
"and gave the kitten on a pet before"
Missing word(s)?
edit:
Oh, and:
"make as a leader of Equestria effects her"
"make as a leader of Equestria affects her"?
(I was listening to this rather than literally reading it the first time through and didn't hear the difference, but I came back to look something up.)
This caught me right in the feels! So good!
An excellent presentation of Fluttershy at her quiet best, with an astonishingly sympathetic Discord. I also really like "heartmender" as a term for a possibly magical psychiatrist. Thank you for this.

I'm glad you liked it! I have a soft spot for this story, and it's been one of my lesser read ones. But I'm glad folks are enjoying it when they find it!
A wonderful little read, I really enjoyed how you portrayed everyone.
Thank you very much for sharing.

They strike me as a religious figure, more akin to a rabbi then a priest, if you get my meaning

That's... really interesting, considering that I went for magical psychologist, but at the same time, the origins of psychology and talking about your problems are bound up in things like Confession. I... hadn't thought of it that way!

Well, I do distinguish between the schools. Ultimately, all three seek to place a person in a frame of mind where they can reach a balance, but psychiatry and priesthood carries with them... I don't want to say authority, but there's Rabbi's are more guides then how priests and psychiatrist/tologist are seen, and Heartmenders seem more in line with that.
But we must remember that the institution of Confession is taken decidedly more seriously then psychiatrist patient priviledge, and that seems more in line with Secret Keepers and Heart Menders as well.
We ha Sec all ve rets.
Jokes aside, this is lovely.
