Welcome, to my first published piece on FIMFiction.

10/26/2016 Update: Final chapter has been re-written and published, the story is now, for all intents and purposes, complete. Again, thank you for your patience and understanding.

One night during a bright crescent moon, Fluttershy's self-doubt and worries that Braeburn might not share the same feelings of love towards her blends with her old cravings for apples, and the colliding forces within her forces her to transform into....something. It is neither Flutterbat nor monster, but something that dances within the grey; Hollowbat. And she has a voracious appetite for apples when Braeburn just so happens to be awake when she raids the Apple family barn. Will Braeburn survive, or will he be unable to tame the nature of the beast and save Fluttershy?

Contains BLEACH references, but nothing specific; only descriptions, no names or titles that are used from the actual anime, the exception being the title and Flutterbat's transformed state for a few paragraphs. Hence, the "crossover" tag, just to be thorough.

Also, I can't emphasis enough on the fact that this. is. clop. It may evolve into a more complicated story, but until then it's first and foremost dirty, dirty clop.
