The Shy Shadow of the Moon

by Furyhound
No one expects the most harmless flower to have thorns... No one expects the kindest soul to be carrying the sharpest blades...

Fluttershy has faced bullying and abuse due to her kind nature her whole life. Rainbow dash helped a lot after they met, but Dash can’t always be right next to her... Cloudsdale especially is full of young foals that think only fast and agile fliers are worth talking to. It is something she could understand, because she used to be that way too... at least until the incident...


Luna was once loved like Celestia, the day was too dangerous for travel, but the night sheltered pony kind in the days of strife. But as times changed, and ages turned, the ponies began to forget this protection, as the day became ever safer, as Equestria rose from the plains and deserts of their ancestors. Luna tried to regain the admiration of her subjects when they met her with fear. First she painted the sky with beautiful and useful mosaics that guided travelers, took on the mantle of safe guarding their dreams, charged her forces with keeping the monsters of the dark at bay, then Luna allowed her sister to take on the majority of the political theater... But it was never enough! Nightmare Moon then tried to hold the dawn hostage, force her subjects to experience and love her night... but she failed.

Yet some small part of her has always wondered if she had been doing the right thing...
