Tuesday Teas are the favorite tradition of Fluttershy and Discord, but Zephyr Breze shows up unexpectedly just minutes before the arival of the Lord of Chaos. Fluttershy has to face the reality that not everyone has forgiven the draconequss after all he's done. That dosn't mean they can't try again though.

Written for Day 3 of Fluttercord Week 2021. Theme: Zephyr Breze

Good story! I liked the little details of Discord and Fluttershy's tea parties, especially the mention that he never comes late, but never too early (after that one time). It was very sweet to read.

I also liked the way Zephyr and Fluttershy interacted—with him being the teasing brother, and her politely (if sternly) telling him that even if she's used to him barging in, now is not the time. My two favorite parts of their interaction would have to be...her wanting to keep Tuesday Tea between her and Discord, not wanting to surprise him with a guest, and her defending Discord, telling Zephyr off for hurting him. Go Flutters! Defend your draconequus!

Zephyr is a bit rude here, even before Discord shows up...but that's not exactly out of character for him, is it? And his reaction to Discord feels pretty natural—I like that he brought up how he and Cloudsdale were personally affected by his actions, so it's not just a knee-jerk reaction of 'ah, evil scary monster I've heard about!'. Even if his actions were hurtful, he had a reason to act that way. And he trusts his sister's judgment and apologizes...I'm glad this story had a happy ending.

Looking forward to another (possible) story from you this week! :heart:

Thank you so much! I am glad you enjoyed this story and took the time to comment! :heart: I think you brought up every point I had been worried about with this story and I'm glad to hear they came across well. I tried to be careful with the character choices here working within what made sense for these three. Again thank you for the feedback, it was so very helpful! And I hope to see more from you too my darling!

Very nice and adorable; and everyone seemed in-character too, a tricky thing with these sorts of dynamics where it's easy to go to extreme; Well done!
Oh, one minor heads up....

, I didn't realise hoe much he meant to you as a friend

Pretty sure you mean 'how' :rainbowlaugh:

Of course! Looking forward to more potential Fluttercord!

honestly i liked the premise of the story but feel it ended way to soon, and was resolved way too quickly, this is not Zephyr being obnoxious brother but someone who went through a traumatic event and meeting one of the ones responsible, he wont just forgive like that, fluttershy should also understand that something that cant be expected in one meeting, personally feel it should have had Zephyr leave in a huff, and discord goes and apologize which end up them talking and then maybe forgiveness and offer of friendship, but they way it now fluttershy glares at Zephyr and he forgive the one who traumatized him

There was once a time when he had arrived a whole hour early, unintentionally sending her into a panicked state in order to get everything ready immediately for his unexpected early arrival. He had insisted it wasn't necessary and that he’d simply come to enjoy more time in her company. He even offered his help. She, the timid and anxious mare that she was, hadn’t reacted the best and was so frenzied she’d hardly registered his assurances. She always blushed at the memory, a little embarrassed by it but touched he’d wanted to spend more time with her.

i'm sorry, i'm dying. its too cuute.

Fun story. I'm not a big fan of the Zeph, but seeing him treated sympathetically here was enjoyable. He's such an ass, but since he decided to respect his sister's choice, good for him. And kudos to Dissy for staying cool in spite of the initial judgemental reaction.

Oh boy that was something else in the beginning everything just escalated so quickly when Discord showed up and Zephyr Breeze showed up unexpectedly first and basically pointing fingers at Discord for what he did and Fluttershy could not take it and basically defending Discord and despite his reputation Fluttershy really forgave him and Discord really wanted to be better Zephyr Breeze still don't know about this but he trust her sister and he really want to bury the hatchet with Discord well it's a beginning of a beautiful friendship and it looks like Zephyr starting to see Fluttershy and Discord relationship well I would say this is a pretty nice story keep up the good work

“The next was Snozzberry tea, though she had to wonder what in Equestria a snozzberry was.” NOT THE SNOZZBERRY!
