Fluttershy and Rainbow have been in a romantic relationship for about a year. They haven't told anypony, though, because they're afraid of how they'll react. This story follows them through that process as the town gets involved, the Princesses get involved, and it becomes a debacle.

Marked mature, but not a clopfic. Rated so for occasions of almost sex. Tagged dark for a thing; not a grim-dark fanfic. Trigger warning: attempted rape - hence the dark tag.
My loveletter to Flutterdash; maybe after putting this out there I'll be free of it. Pretty long, took three years to write, and I encourage you to read the author's note at the end.

Art is the Flutterdash edit of two of Antiander's beautiful pieces. Pieces are here and here, and the edit is here.
