Lady Fluttershy meets Sir Big Macintosh, a knight known through many kingdoms for his strength and bravery. Many ponies think the two of them would be a wonderful match...but she has doubts.
But Discord, the Chaos Lord, suddenly offers her a surprising deal—he'll fake her kidnapping, and let her watch the resulting battle between him and the knight so she may see his true colors. She warily accepts...but this deal has consequences neither of them see coming.

Chapters (1)
jesus that is a looooong story
maybe split into some chapters?
Really good story! Very well written, and it's a few well loved tropes nicely. With a little work, you could turn this into a cheesy romance novel. Most commercial ones are somewhere between 50-100k words.
Chapters would make it more digestible on this site, may I suggest breaking it up into the three acts you already have? 10k word chapters are long, but not too terrible. It's also fine if you want to leave it as is.
Again, very old storyline, but very well written. Thanks for writing it!
Girl, you made my day with this!
This is a really beautiful story, seriously. I love how Discord gave her freedom and allowed her to be herself. Just like true love does! I also love how Fluttershy grows in the story. This is what makes this ship so special, they both grow. It´s a reciprocal relationship.
You write very well, by the way. Keep up the good work!
This is maybe long but absolutely worth it
It was like a rollercoaster of feelings and I don't have enough words to describe how beautiful it is.
Another amazing job that I (even though it doesn't need it) hope have some sort of sequel
And although I was hoping a kiss scene the rest is still amazing.
I have to say, I really love this story. In ways it seems like a nice twist on the Persephone and Hades story. Discord and Fluttershy's actions and care to each other are really cute.
I also loved how you made cameos for other ponies, such as Rarity, and allusions to other ponies in the story, particularly, Applejack and family, Rainbow Dash, and possibly Twilight if that is the wizard Big Mac was referring to. The members of the Main cast I haven't heard was Pinkie and Spike.
I actually really like the world you set up, and maybe we could see more of it someday. Maybe the Mane Cast will join together on some epic quest (or just a tea party gone wrong), or if Celestia and Luna exist somewhere.
Once again, thank you for this story.
A decent take on the bride of discord format, I like t.
Why doesn't this have more reviews? This needs more reviews.
It's like a softer Beauty and the Beast where the Beast is a mischievous softie that's already as handsome as he will ever be and a Gaston that really just wants the triplets to just let him be so he can go to war and maybe eat a nice apple fritter. And no one dies.
And the build up to romance was so pleasing and at a good pace. Slow enough that I was eager to get to the good stuff but the waiting hurt so good, but fast enough that I wasn't groaning to myself.
And you know I always love seeing Fluttershy's feelings grow rather than Discord's, since most are about him and not her.
Interesting reading about him knowing how to actually cook and she doesn't! Such a game changer.
The lake of darkness was hilarious because I can just hear Discord saying it excitedly as if it isn't the most dreadful name either.
I'm also loving that snake because it makes me think of our Moe. ;)
Also, the confession melted my heart. I love that instead of stepping away in horror of speaking her feelings, she just buried her face in his neck and clung on for dear life. And then they both cry and it's just such a lovely scene in my head.
Also... Discord deadpanning how hard Mac's life is from having mares always throwing themselves at him.
This was definitely a labor of love and it shows. This definitely won't be the first and last time I read this!
Such a lovely story! It really brought the warm fuzzies, and not everyone can do that
Thank you for this delightful story! It was so well paced and entertaining, I gobbled up the whole thing in one sitting. The buildup to the confession was very believable and tantalizing in all the right ways. I've got to say, I've been aching for some good, fresh Fluttercord content, and your work really hit the spot!
Such a well, and delicate love story.
It’s a great fluff piece, no real conflict, a more love story between an “evil lord” and the “damsel,” but with a twist that makes this more worthwhile to read.
A great story, can’t wait to see more piece from you Geekcat, love your work.
Dang! This was GOOOOOOOD!
Oh boi, I love it so muuuch!! I'm can't stop smiling
So obviously Rarity is a Lady but I'm not expecting Rainbow dash to be one too. Kinda wondering where a the rest of the main 6. Applejack probably stayed home n Twilight maybe a great mage- with a dragon- and Pinkie.... anything is possible
Boy oh boy this fanfiction was great! Absolutely throwing me into walls. Good job!

(Spoiled just in case future stories come from this universe)
I imagine Pinkie as being either living at Sweet Appleton as a baker, with a possible hint towards her being related to Applejack's family, or she is a traveling bard.
