Through the Maze

by metronome
A teenaged Fluttershy, sick of being stuck dealing with her baby brother, makes a wish she should not have made. Now, with her brother in the hands of the Chaos King, she must venture through a labyrinthian version of Ponyville to save him.

Fluttershy returns home from school to her parents leaving her little brother, Zephyr Breeze, in her care for the night. Tired of being pushed around after a long day, she quickly grows frustrated and wishes for the Chaos King to take him away.

Which he does.

Now, Fluttershy is given twelve hours to prepare herself to handle the thrills, twists, and terrors found in the Labyrinth of Ponyville, make it through, and rescue Zephyr at the end - or else the Chaos King will have him forever.


This is obviously based on Labyrinth (1986), but I hope it is not too derivative of its source material - I have tried to keep the premise and nothing else. You may see parallels but the goal is to NOT simply rewrite it with ponies!

Note: Virtually no Fluttercord. Fluttershy is a teenager in this story and that's just kinda weird. Sorry.

No promises on an update schedule; I'm a student, so probably not very frequent. But I do have this story mostly planned out so hopefully that helps!
