A dragon and a pony. A mare and a dragoness. Together and in love? Pretty weird, right?
Most ponies would say that. Scoffing at just how ridiculous that sounded, while some might even question if you were alright in the head for asking such a ludicrous thing. A dragon and a pony could NEVER be together, it just wouldn't work. Yet, this was the reality for two of the residents in little hamlet known as Ponyville. They lived the impossible. A yellow dragon who towered greatly over the equine residents of the town who was the perfect definition of a gentle giant; and a small blue pegasus who was pretty much known all across Equestria for her flying prowess even from a young age.
Those two were Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash.
They were life long friends who eventually grew up to discover feelings of love for the other. What exactly lead them to falling for each other was still a mystery to any who saw them; and a bit of one to the both of them as well. They seemed like complete opposites, but that worked perfectly for the pair. It didn't really matter why, or how anyways... All that they knew is that neither one of them could imagine going any further in life without the other beside them, supporting their goals in every way imaginable.
But, such a relationship has it's rocky moments. It has ups and down, sacrifices and compromises that either of them is fully prepared for. Hard work and determination will help them though, love will always prosper.
Though, is the world ready for a dragon and a pony to get married?
I guess they're gonna find out...
Artwork done by imalou, picture taken from Derpibooru! Also check out his Twitter right here! Artwork was used without permission, so if the artist requests this to be removed, I gladly will. And apologizes in advance for using without asking, but this picture motivated me so much I just had to use it for the story that was inspired by the wonderful art.
The first chapter was pretty much based wholly by this picture, it just kinda captured my heart and I knew there was a story there. Less than two weeks later, I had a chapter written. I'm not sure where this will go fully, but I want to keep it E or at the most T if I need to. So expect some lighthearted lovey stuff to come from this story!
Big thanks to Scaramouche For editing/proofreading this for me before it went live.
Loved this story <3
Heeeeeyyyy this is pretty good
A Fluttershy as a dragon fic? A romance as well? You have my attention, sir. Reads potentially glorious story with heavy scrutiny
Hand should be "claw" right? Since this is pretty much set on the pony side of the magic mirror even if it's an alternate universe so wouldn't hands be a word that is unknown there?
Finishes reading story. Before you had my attention, now you have my interest. Bravo
Fluttershy is best dragon.

I mostly used the word "hand" because of the picture this was inspired by. Looking closely Fluttershy has five fingers (counting a thumb underneath, unless she didn't have one) that are very rounded and blunt, with only a little pointy 'claw' on the tips. Spike on the other hand kek has more pointed claws. Now, that could just be the animation art vs this artist's drawing, but every dragon has more sharp claw looking appendages.
Fluttershy in this case, does not. Which is kinda reminiscent of the show Dragon Tales dear god I'm old and to me look more like hands, with little claws instead of full on dragon claws. (Tired of hearing claw yet?) So that's my reasoning behind it. It might be wrong, but that's my reasoning. I'm not sure if the word "exists" in their world, but that's like saying the word hoof (or other words related) shouldn't exist in our world because we don't have them on our body. If there are primates in their world, surely they must use a word for their 'hands.'
But I'm really glad you've enjoyed it! It was a bit different and I've really enjoyed myself when writing this. Expect more to come in the future with this story for sure!

Fair enough, and I remember dragon tales too so don't feel too bad.
Heck of a job, broski.

That's cute as fuh.
Doom.
Story is super cute, though I'd recommend cutting down on the length of the description. Brevity is the soul of wit and all that.
*edit
Honestly you could leave it at a single sentance
And then slap the rest as an introductory paragraph. Long descriptions are intimidating and may turn some readers off, which would be a tragedy as this story is wonderful.
Fainting goats are fun to watch, less fun if they were sized in a way that they could crush those nearby.
I saw that pic of them on derpibooru and while I thought it cute it didn’t occur to me just how much of a cute story it could hold.
You did a good job. The ending leaves me wishing you will continue the tail soon with these family meetings and such.

Dragon tales was a great show
Its been a long while were Rainbow Shy story was this cute, especially cross species.
This beauty... It rushes up, piercing the heavens looking at the impossible with contempt and flying forward, overtaking infinity riding on a dream!
