After spending six years together on Earth, Fluttershy and Matthew, the human that found her, have formed a strong relationship. But, in this alternate reality, Princess Celestia chooses to deny Matthew passage into Equestria, and takes Fluttershy from him. Finding his own way to Equestria, Matthew saves Fluttershy, but at the same time, ignites the wrath of Princess Celestia. Now, she is out to kill Matthew. He must use all of his skills and abilities, as well as some new ones, to fight back. He must fight to protect not only himself, but to protect Fluttershy as well. He must fight to protect their love. This is Matthew's alternate story. The story of Tortured Love.

If you enjoy this story, be sure to check out the entire story of Fluttershy and Me, which is now remastered! Also, check out the second alternate reality story, Fluttershy and Me: Without You.

This story was inspired by the Assassin's Creed 3 DLC, The Tyranny of King Washington, as you can tell by the cover art, which I take no credit for, obviously. This story is not, however, an Assassin's Creed crossover. The main character, Matthew, is just heavily influenced/inspired by the series.

This is rated mature for scenes of gore and heavy sexual content.
