I'm also known as "Huh?" over on fimchan. Also, I'm nitpicky (part of the reason for my username). On an unrelated note, "buck" is a terrible stand-in for "fuck."

Ok.. who the hell would want to break up with fluttershy?
I really liked this. It was very in character for Twilight and it makes one think about Fluttershy as a pony in general. Liked, faved and everything else. Have a moustache.
I hope you can revisit this idea some time in the future. I'd like to see a story based upon what happens during or after the letter.
Twilight makes fluttershy heartbroke. My Pony Oc sweeps in.
..............well written and good story but........
anti-twishy?
A refreshing view of the pony that's usually portrayed as perfect in every way.
W-wait, no! I didn't mean it Fluttershy! Come back!
This is great, though. Especially the "I'm sorry you're such a jerk" part. I can really see her doing that, because nopony's perfect and even adowable wittle Fwuttershy is perfectly capable of manipulation and emotional blackmail. But we love her anyway, because, well - she's Fluttershy!
So, so solid, and very true-to-life of the difficulties that can arise when one is dating someone particularly meek. Well done!
I have to say, the lack of "and everyone lived happily ever after" with a pairing seems... nice.
Is that wrong of me?
I think anyone who has been in a relationship that ended in resignation that things just wouldn't work instead of anger and/or betrayal can relate to this. Good people who honestly love each other don't always work out, and it's usually because of communication problems caused by the ways their personalities simply don't mesh together. The arguments outlined here are very old, and I can totally see each pony taking the sides you've given them.
1075024 nope.
Spend enough time in the Shipping Capital of the Universe, and eventually you forget that most relationships eventually founder: "And they all lived happily ever after" is, after all, the ending to a fairy tale.
So I appreciate the reminder that sometimes it just doesn't work out.
I would have broken up with Fluttershy :D
This is a stark contrast to most of the other shipping fics out there. The vast majority of them entail the impossible relationships going over smoothly, never ending in harsh breakups. This is very well-written, and original. You've earned my hard-to-come-by green thumb, so good on you!
You have to write a Flutterbitchy response chapter.
Please.
yo, whats a dear seabiscuit letter?
Thank you all very much for your kind words!
This fic was somewhat painful to write--it's a little too close to home--but I'm glad it's been a good read for you all.

I hope I'm never inspired to, but if I am I'll post it here.

It's my pony-name for a "Dear John" letter; in other words, a break-up in letter form.
Well, as a Twishy fan, I wasn't expecting to be too fond of this story, but I gave it a shot anyway, and I'm glad I did, because it was well-worth it. It is very much in-character, outlined the potential problems in such a pairing, took a much more nuanced view of Fluttershy's character, and as this 1075024 guy said, averted the usual 'happily ever after' ending. Well done all around.
I absolutely loved this, and, to a lesser extent, the previous Flutters fic you wrote. I think you capture her personality wonderfully, as other people have said, it's a relief to see her written with flaws rather than 'poor widdle helpless fwuttershy'. I love the concept of Twilight's (mild) inability to read people keeping her even more confused by Flutters' passive-aggressiveness, of her worrying that she's the one making a fuss and causing all the problems.

Thank you both; I'm glad you liked it.
Twilight and Fluttershy have always fascinated me. All of the Six have their issues, but Twi and 'Shy are two of the more--hn--damaged ponies (or "less healthy," if you prefer). It's interesting to poke around in their thoughts and put the story's "camera" behind their eyes, and see how that colors things.
I also find those two the easiest to write
because I have a lot of the same issuesfor some reason...1433497
You know what is the best thing about being a pessimist and a cynic? It's when stuff like this story crops up and proves me utterly and delightfully wrong. I only read this because of your other bit of weirdness that just appeared on EQD. Even though I knew I was going to hate it. Even though I knew it was going to be shallow and cliche.
Silly me. Thumbs up.
1469483
Heh, thank you!
It's fun to be wrong sometimes--if being right is "winning", I aim to be the Dwarf Fortress of ponyfics!
1075024
Hardly. This is a lot more believable (to me, at least) than the usual "we have barely anything in common but we're so perfect together" that shipping falls into so often. That and Fluttershy always gets depicted as having no real flaws, aside from her anxiety issues, so it's good to see a more realistic take on her character for once.
Also, I'd love to see one like this for RariJack.
This makes me sad

Can't imagine AJ writing a letter, or appreciating the sending of one (rather than Rarity just telling her to her face).
1487501
True. A letter still seems like something Rarity would do, though.
Horrible full-on italics which made it kinda hard to read aside, this was actually pretty good. You took a believable conflict, grew it, and then showed us the end result, rather than going through the rigamarole of a dragged relationship - short, sweet, with punch.
1474352
Thank you very much! If my muses compel me to do a RariJack version you'll be the first to know!
1480963
Um... Sorry?
1537154
Hmmm... You're not the first to dislike the italics. I like them myself because it seems more "letter-y" to me, but I think I'll bow to the public on this one and edit it shortly. Anyway, I'm very glad that you liked the story itself!

Happy Night Mare Night, everypony!

It's fine... This ship is my favorite and seeing something like this....
I wrote a review of this story as part of Read It Later Reviews #55.
My review can be found here.

"Four years later" is "reading it later" alright. And I thought my backlog was massive.
7522354
Presently sitting at over 2000 stories.
Though I only found out this writer existed the other day.
7522607
And here I thought that sitting at a comfortable 3000 chapters in 209 stories was unrealistically "I'll never be able to actually read all that" much.
7523045
To be fair, I've read at least 2086 stories on FIMFiction according to my bookshelves, probably more than that, as I only could start marking stories as up/no/downvoted after bookshelves were implemented in 2014 and I've probably not marked every story I read in 2013 and most of 2014.
7523453
Well, only 99251 to go then. You can do it!
Thanks to the read it later review, I was able to read it later, as in now that i found out about it.
