On the surface, it's an ordinary meeting between friends. Fluttershy and the former Princess Celestia are friends, aren't they? How could they not be?
And because they're friends, Fluttershy has something very important to discuss with the former leader of Equestria. Very important and very personal. It involves fears, doubts, and the romantic life of the creature who was once Equestria's greatest threat...

A little idea that popped into my head and simply would not go away until I put it down on paper.
Special thanks to Rubycast and Swirling Line for pre-reading.

Dang gum, that song started skipping through my mind before I even read the description.
Ya know, I had an idea for such a story with Twilight and Sunset Shimmer arguing over Flash Sentry. "Flaming locks of Auburn hair" it was too good of a fit. Too good. Almost tropey as a matter of fact. I never wrote it for that exact reason.
You did it WAY better. Well done.
Wait... I thought this was rated E....
Oh, thank God!
Wow, fantastic story! This is a really interesting way to relationshiop of the characters.
What a sweet story this was. I loved it
I never thought I would see a Celestia-Cord (of sorts) that I would like.
Yes, I know the focus was on Fluttershy, and you did it very well.
Lovely work on both ends. I do love an "X confronts Y" story where both characters handle themselves well and the argument ends amiably. The specifics were fantastically executed as well, especially Celestia's wisdom. Thank you for this.
Seconding FOME, this was quite lovely all around!

I had the same idea... but Fluttershy simple asked to talk with Celestia and not crush her bones and drink wine from her skull, so It should be a SFW situation.
For those too shiftless to look it up
My mother was a huge CW fan
Never heard the song, but this story is definitely music to my ears.
Huh.
I heard it the moment I saw it.

The synthpop cover by Strawberry Switchblade is pretty good too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6oxzoDWY1PM

Yes, it is. That is *I* like it
If my mother wasn't already dead, she would have
shit a brick -sideways (favored obscene expression)
& this would have likely killed her
Great story! 😚🙏
Whoa.
This was powerful. I enjoyed it a lot. I really like how Celestia wasn't just "Celestia" about it, but it genuinely seemed like she was confused by Fluttershy's accusations.
Celestia likes single action adventure
Luna more social activities...
Celestia had paperwork
Luna had isolation
Makes sense they try to balance this out.
But not as good as Fluttershy.
I read the story. You got obliterated!
I think this is the only Fluttershy/Discord story that I’ve liked to date. I can’t really think of any that have really come close to making the pairing work, and certainly not in the season nine/later canon setting, which I’ve not been really fond of. Really nice work here, it was fun to reread it and I really liked the immortality positivity.
Not a conversation I ever expected to see, but I can definitely see Flutters having that insecurity. A sweet moment overall.
But that’s, like, 52 episodes. Unless you include season 3. Then it’s only 39. But still—that’s a lot of time.
I apologise for my LittleshyFiM impersonation, but somebody had to do it.
Wow, nicely written story. Deep, sad, slightly sensual, and barely happy-feely romantic at all - if tweaked a bit to be slightly less sensual, or even if in an episode where Flutters and Discord/Celly and Discord are still only friends - this is a conversation that could happen in the show.
