Stay classy and read more shipping.

Sometimes you don't know what you have until it's gone.

Fluttershy didn't see it coming. She hadn't even considered it a possibility—not to her poor Angel. Now grieving over the loss of her dearest friend, Fluttershy pushes those closest to her away and seeks comfort within the silence of her cottage. But one pony is more persistent than the rest...

Winner of the TwiShy group's August Dual Contest.

wow this was pretty good.

Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed it! :pinkiesmile:

Great job. A little quick in the pacing, but very earnest and raw. Twi and Shy were perfectly IC, and Twilight's form of condolence for Fluttershy was nothing short of ingenious. I don't think it qualifies as extremely sad, but that's just my opinion. Keep up the good work. :pinkiehappy:

Thank you! :raritystarry:

Since it's a one-shot, I didn't want it to be too drawn out, which probably led to it being fast-paced. I'm glad you enjoyed reading it, and I figured the level of sadness was subjective. (If you're talking about the Extremely Sad group, I added it because it mentioned death. It's important to note, though, that in the Sad group I added it to the light-sad folder. I wouldn't have cried had I read this work by a different author.)

Once again, thanks for reading! I was honestly a bit nervous when I suddenly got 2 dislikes out of nowhere, so it's nice to see a comment. :twilightblush:

What's with you and the proper burials?! Did one steal your special somepony or something? :fluttershbad:
It was good, but it ended too quickly. I know it has a lot of words but I would have liked to see Fluttershy going to see Twilight after reading the book :twilightsmile:
In any case, great job! :pinkiehappy:

*Makes Story *feels good with story *publishes it *reads this *cries because this is so much better than his

I am intimidated. This is quite daunting.

you shuld try to keep continuity within your own story

“I was only able to extend the magical field so far after using up all my magic a few minutes prior. You and Spike were falling faster than Angel, and I couldn’t just let you die. I tried to get all of you, but I couldn’t. I almost blacked out trying…”

“We’re all doing our best to adapt, ‘Shy.I couldn’t save Angel because of his weight; he was so light he was falling way faster than both you and Spike. If I aimed my teleportation spell at him, I wouldn’t have been able to get the two of you.”

:facehoof:
make up your mind did Angel fall slower or faster then the other two?

:twilightblush: That was a mistake I must've made while editing that slipped through. My apologies. The former is true.

this was the best outcome of the scenario with the eel and the uneven falling twilight made a good choice picking Fluttershy and spike tho spike is expendable finding a replacement messenger would be hard.
But it would be impossible to find a replacement Fluttershy. Killing one of the mane six is a sin because of how much it would affect Equestria, if Fluttershy had perished in that fall the element of kindness would lose its power and with it the other elements would to because they are connected and with the element of kindness without power the elements would be useless the loss of one of the physical elements (ea. the necklaces or tiara) can be remedied by recovering them but if you kill the sources just one of them that be Fluttershy, Applejack, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie or Princess Twilight Sparkle.
The respective element loose their power ant with it the others are useless ant that is irremediable u will need to find a new set of friends to take the role. and that can take ages. and in the meantime Discord can take over the world. Angel however is useless.

Did you expect any less? :derpytongue2:

I actually ended it there on purpose. On the first draft, Twilight was actually supposed to just hand her the book and walk away without a word, giving it an open ending. However, I had to add some more TwiShy. You're probably right, though.

Thanks, though! It's awesome to see you comment on my story. :pinkiehappy:

It only takes practice. I'm sure your story isn't as bad as you say it is. My first pony story *ahem* is my worst-rated, but over time I've gotten better. Don't compare your story to others. :twilightsmile:

I see what you're saying. And while in all serious terms Angel is the most expendable, I wouldn't say he's useless. I don't think any person or character is completely useless, and I would like to give you one of my favorite quotes:

Everybody is dear to somebody.

I hope you enjoyed reading the story despite that mistake I made earlier. (Seriously, I don't know how I missed that.) :twilightblush:

3105445 A fic likes this needs a sequel at least! :fluttershysad:

3101258 most people get 1-2 dislikes out of nowhere on a story from haters prowling the site. Don't take it to heart :raritywink:

3106035 Like those who dislike it just because of the shipping? :rainbowhuh:

3106041 and those who just log on to the site to down vote because it's pony content.

3106198 Oh yeah, those jerks with no life... :twilightangry2:

3105445 i know that angel is dear to somepony but that is all the only reprecausions are Fluttershys broken heart. :fluttercry: :fluttershbad: :fluttershysad: :fluttershyouch:
and yes the story is good you should get to summit it in the contest soon as MysteriousStranger is the only one in the contest right now. (you did intend to enter this in the contest right?)

3107964 I'm not the only one in the contest besides Dragon, DarqFox also joined, this is his entry. :pinkiesmile:

3109090 and my firend TobbenNintendo
(Sadly i do not think he stands a chance.)
here is his entry

3107964

Yeah, that's a good point.

I already submitted it to the group's contest through the forum. I can't wait to see how it turns out. :twilightsmile:

3106035

That's true. My gut reaction is that I got those because the story deals with character death. I'm not too bothered with it, though. :moustache:

3105483

I don't know about that. I still have other obligations and story ideas (including editing for you). Maybe someday. :rainbowwild:

3110508 I know you have stuff to do, I didn't say now :raritywink:

Congratulations. This story has good enough grammar (in the first 500 words) to be added to the Good Grammar Directory, a comprehensive directory of grammatically correct stories on FIMFiction.net.

Another good one for the contest :fluttershysad:

That book Twilight gave to Fluttershy, that was just beautiful. There are no words for how wonderful that part was :fluttershbad:

This was a nice read.:twilightsmile:
I'm rooting for you.:pinkiehappy:

Thanks a lot. Now, my face is wet, my eyes are red, and I have a headache. You know what that means! It means that I hit my head, rubbed my eyes too much and spilled some of my drink on my face while reading this story. Oh, and I may have also cried.

3272845

Thanks a lot for favoriting all those stories of mine! I'm glad to see that you've enjoyed them, and hopefully I can continue to do so. :twilightsmile:

i'm....not...crying....i-i'm leaking liquid pride....:fluttershysad:

Gotta love TwiShy. My eyes were leaking a little by the end of this :fluttercry:. I like how even though there is some romance the story focused on the tragic event instead. This story definitely earned this:

Also have a like and a fav from me :twilightsmile:

3282922

Wow, thanks! I appreciate your looking over my story and I'm glad you enjoyed it. :twilightsmile:

I found this, and you, by chance. Look at me, being all cryptic and such. XD

I've read this before, and I'm going to read it yet again when I have the time (going to Subway.) I don't often read sad stories, it's just not my thing. I don't often read one-shots either. This, however, is worth multiple reads.

Damn that was.... That was hard to read.
I'ts not often that i have to have a napkin while reading a story. It's just that this story just made me so sad, i think i have found a new level of sadness in my body.
Well written and relay good characterization. A few nitpick points of mine is fast phased but being a one-shot i can accept that, and a quick ending, would like to see Fluttershy go to twilight and thank her and maybe snuggle for comfort just to add a cute ending, but that may just be me.
Good story all around 9/10. Now if you'll excuse me i have to go and wipe away this weird puddle on my desk.

3547280 Yeah, I read that one too. downvoted it. Of all ponies an author shouldn't murder off, Spike and Twilight are at the top of the list.
