It had been a very long night. I had nearly died trying to protect my friends and the pony I loved from my father, who had incidentally been trying to kill my mother at the time. He came too close to succeeding. We had only been able to stop him by channelling the power of the Elements of Harmony through me. But because of the raw emotion I was feeling, the power couldn’t be controlled. We didn’t just imprison Discord this time, we killed him... I killed him. I’ve spent my life not knowing who my parents were. It’s been like a thorn in my brain, constantly drawing the blood and life out of my self esteem. It was only a short while ago that I discovered Celestia to be my mother. For the longest time, she wouldn’t tell me why she had kept it from me for all these years, or who my father was. I have to say, I resented her for that. I think I still do, a little bit. And now my father is dead, after only a fleeting whisper of time knowing him. He was rogue, an entity of evil, but he was still my father. Does that mean I have evil inside me, too? There are those who would say yes, who would say I am evil by virtue of my changeling nature. I might have believed them before now. But now, I have her. I have... “Um. Shade?” Fluttershy’s soft voice snapped me out of my reverie and back into reality. We were walking along the road to her cottage after things at the castle had been put back into order. By the time we had arrived in Ponyville, it was already dark; Luna’s moon shining flawless beams of light upon us. The night air was cold, and Fluttershy drew close to me as we walked. I decided to stay at Twilight’s house; the day had been harrowing for all of us, and I had no desire to put any more stress on my beautiful marefriend. We reached the crossroads, as she spoke, the still night air creating a tranquil tension between us. “Yes, Flutters?” Astounding wit from me once again, but I was feeling a little overwhelmed. Cut me a break. Fluttershy looked a little hesitant, like she was worried about what she was going to say. I looked deep into her eyes, trying to say without words that nothing she could say or do would drive me away. Ever since I’ve met her, she’s somehow been able to read me, more deeply and profoundly than even my mother. She sees through my skin and reads what’s written on my soul and etched into my marrow. I will feel forever astounded and blessed that she likes what she has seen in me. The gentle light of a thousand constellations reflected in her eyes, and an elderly willow tree swayed in the wind as she spoke. “Shade. I need you to know some things, and I need to tell you them now. If I don’t tell you now, I just don’t know if I’ll ever have the courage to. When you stopped Discord today, you saved all of our lives. You sacrificed your own father to keep us safe. No matter how much you feel like you’re tainted by Discord, always remember that you chose to be your own person. Nopony can take that away from you. We all owe our lives to you, and that makes me love you even more than I thought possible.” Fluttershy has kept my gaze all the while, never looking down or away; never timid. I know that this is her baring her soul to me, letting down the mental walls she uses to keep herself safe. I can feel her love for me hanging in the air, thick as treacle and just as sweet. I try to take it all in, but it’s too much. My necklace is full, and so is my heart. Tears welled up in my eyes as I felt something break inside me, an inner barrier collapsed. And then, despite the dimness of the night, my vision was flooded with lights and there was a choking stone in my throat. I felt emotions flooding into me, yes, but they were also radiating out from me, pouring all my love and affection and grief and rage and jealousy into the perfect mare standing before me, and I could see her breathing as she accepted them. We were joined at that moment, in some profound, unfathomable way. Nopony has ever heard of this, ever theorised. We are now one and the same person. We breathe in synch, and our souls swim in each others hearts. We collapsed into each other, both caught in a trance of deep peace and immeasurable happiness. If ever there was a perfect moment in time, this is it. The air still hung pregnant with emotion, but the tension had gone, dissipated away into nothingness as we accepted each other for the rest of our days. Necklace or no, marriage or no, this is forever, and neither of us would change it. The crickets chirped and the owls hooted softly as we stayed locked in an embrace. The moonlight on our skin felt so downy-silvery-silky soft that I blearily thought through the haze that Luna must have made an extra effort on my behalf. I felt Fluttershy’s heavenly breathing against my ear, and her delicate mane against my cheek, and I felt that no matter what has happened to me, there was no way I could deserve this. Eventually though all moments must pass, and the night air was biting at our skin. We stood up, spell broken, and reluctantly moved away from each other. I said the simple words that will never do justice to the way I feel about her. “I love you, Fluttershy.” “I love you too, Shade.” She turned to walk away down the track, and I stood where I was, happy to simply watch her elegant form walk away and take part of my soul with her. But she just turned around, giving a graceful swish of her tail, and said “Well? Are you coming or not?”. The look in her eyes let me know this night was far from over, and I practically cantered down the road to meet her. We fell into Fluttershy’s cottage and into each others hooves, joined at the lips in a sensual kiss. An emotion stirred deep inside me that I had neglected for far too long. We lay there on the hardwood floor, barely noticing the uncomfortable boards as we lost ourselves. Her soft tongue wrestled with mine, confident but so, so delicate. I explored her mouth, revelling in the flowery-sweet taste of her, not thinking of what was to come but content to drink in the sheer and unbridled joy of that moment. With our new bond, we could feel each other getting more and more aroused as the blood rushed to our heads and... other places. Eventually it was Flutters who broke the kiss, getting to her hooves to gently shoo all the animals out of the door. Angel Bunny stood outside, stalwart guardian against interruptions. The little fella isn’t so bad after all. I stood up, panting and eyes alight with desire for the most stunning, loyal, unexpected, surprising and caring pony I have ever met. And then her eyes met mine, and I could feel the same flame in her driving us both up the stairs and into her bedroom. She gave me a light shove, pushing me onto my back, and I felt the whisper of the cotton brush against my black coat and send a shiver through me. Fluttershy picked her way towards me, teasing me with her supine movement before placing a hoof either side of my clearly erect member. She gave it an approving look, before placing her head so close to it I could feel her hot breath making me twitch in anticipation. When we were this close, I could literally feel every single emotion that ran through her, and she mine. She sensed that I was close to losing my control, and glanced up at me to see my fangs clenched and my green eyes rolling back almost in torment. I sensed her concern, and got enough of a grip on myself to meet her gaze and let her know I would do nothing, could never do anything to hurt her. But apparently I misread her. She brought herself level with me, sliding her slightly-sweaty body along mine until her lips were resting against my ear, and her moist sex lay on top of my core. “I know you can’t hurt me. I want you to let go, I want you to possess me, I want you to make me yours and make you mine forever. Please, Shade, don’t hold back.” I could sense her complete trust in me, and I was struck deeply by how open she was. It was strange to hear those words of wicked desire coming from her innocent lips, but I knew they came from years of loneliness and pent-up frustrations. As I finally let go of my concerns and became truly ready to commit myself to this wonderful mare, the last vestiges of my control evaporated. I took her head in my hooves, and pulled her lips to mine. The kiss was more passionate this time, more intense and filled with a molten wave of desire. I could feel Fluttershy pushing back, urgently pressing herself against me, eager to give just as much as she took. The light returned, blurring my vision and surrounding her pristine mane with an aura of brilliant white fire. She rolled on top of me, her front hooves wrapping around my back and pressing me tightly to her. I slid my own hooves around her, massaging her wings at the very base and drawing a gasp of almost painful want from her. She broke the kiss, cheeks flushed with passion, and moved her mouth to the base of my horn, feathering light kisses all across the faintly glowing length. Her touch sent waves of pleasure through me, and I could feel her getting ever more excited as we both shared in the sensation. My wings were spread out rigid behind me, propping me against the wall. I didn’t notice the cramp. My hips started moving of their own accord, driven by an animal impulse that I had ignored for most of my life. Fluttershy’s breathing turned ragged as my stiff shaft rubbed against her now soaking wet centre. “Please, Shade, please. I need you right now, I need you inside me. I want to feel you take me, make me a mare, for the love of Luna, Shade please don’t make me wait any more.” I still couldn’t get used to Fluttershy talking like that, but I sensed that it was the deepest sign of trust she could ever give me. I slid a hoof down her thigh, stopping only briefly to gently rest my hoof against her cutie mark. But she softly whined in my ear and squirmed in my lap, covering me with her honey and leaving wet trails trickling down my sides. I got the message, and carefully lifted her up with one hoof, positioning my rock-hard shaft just so. I looked into her eyes, and those teal rings wide with need told me everything I needed to know. I let her drop an inch or two, feeling her soft lips part as they were impaled on my shaft. The lights in my eyes flashed as the velvet walls clenched my head, almost sucking it in with their eagerness. I let her drop another inch, feeling a jab of empathetic pain as her hymen broke. I stopped, concerned, but Fluttershy hugged me closer and forced herself another two inches towards the base. All the while, she was moaning and biting her lip and giving little squeals of pleasure, the physical and aural pleasure making me want to fill her up then and there. But I could tell that Fluttershy wasn’t nearly done yet, and so I drew on her emotions to try and bring myself back from the edge. Now that I had myself under control, I could finally start doing what I planned to do for the rest of my life: give her what she needed, and what she so desperately wanted. I took a firm hold of her flank with my forehooves, braced myself with my wings, and thrust hard with my hips. I pushed my twitching head as deep into her as I could, and I was rewarded by the first real out-of-control noise from Flutters. She threw her head back and screamed in pleasure, riding my hard cock to try and bring us even closer together. Her mane hung back behind her head and tickled my already-taut balls, sending more spikes of pleasure rocketing through us both. She stayed like that on my shaft for long moments, her eyes screwed up in pleasure as she ground her so-sensitive clitoris on my lap, all the while moaning so loudly I felt sure that the Apple family would be running to rescue her. I chastised myself, and stopped thinking about anything but this one wondrous moment, trying to keep this sensation frozen in time as my head kissed the very core of her. I started to work my full length in and out of her, tortuously slowly at first, letting her get used to my presence. Every time I hilted myself, little jolts of pure pleasure shot through us both, and I gradually sped up, feeding my wonderful marefriend and giving her everything we both wanted. I could feel her walls clamping down on me, twitching, trying desperately to squeeze every last drop out of me. But not yet. This was far too much fun to end now. I rolled over, taking the love of my life with me. Our mouths were close together, and as I worked my length inside her again I greedily clamped my lips over hers, stealing another kiss from those gorgeous lips. I felt her breathily moan into my mouth, wordlessly begging me to speed up. I did, and felt another wave of her arousal wash over me, soaking my balls and leaving them dripping. I started to pound into her, and she met every one of my rough thrusts with a squeeze and a yelp as I drove us both ever closer to the brink of something wonderful, something magical that we both have been unknowingly pining for since we first met and gazed at each other across the boundaries of species. The delicious friction is building, and now we are both at the edge. I knew I wouldn’t last much longer, but Fluttershy’s breathing and the ecstasy I felt radiating from her told me we would end this wondrous moment together. I picked up my pace one final time, thrusting into her like a crazed stallion. She knew the moment was drawing close, and wrapped her hind legs around me so tightly that it almost hurt. I buried myself inside her one last time and let go, my seed bursting from me in a torrent of explosive heat that shook me to the core. I felt her lips clamp down and spasm around me, and heard a long drawn-out cry of pure ecstasy as she came with shattering force over my twitching cock, still shooting the last jets of my essence into her. We stayed coupled together for I don’t know how long, basking in the glow of sex and the wonderful knowledge that we were now truly, irrevocably bonded. We finally fell apart, though still in each others arms, and had once more a moment of pure happiness. I hugged her gently, close to me, feeling her heart beat against mine, and softly spoke to her. “I love you Fluttershy, and I want to spend the rest of my life showing you what my words can never say. I want us to travel to strange places, see new and startling things. I want us to show everyone that love can overcome any boundaries, forge the closest of bonds between ponies. I want us to be together, I want us to be unashamed of being together. But most of all, more than any of that, I want to spend my every moment thinking about you. I love you, Fluttershy, more than anything on this world or the next.” She just smiled at me, with the same look in her eyes that she had when I gave her the necklace, and kissed me lightly on the nose. “I’d like that.”
