Beyond the Herd by Impossible Numbers
https://www.fimfiction.net/
Apple Bloom wants to grow up. She's sure she does. Surrounded by the family that founded a town, shaped it, and made it what it is today, she finds herself all the more invested in becoming a part of this legacy.
Yet as Apple Bloom's interest in the legacy grows, so does her interest in a pony who never had one.
After all, sometimes there's a good reason to step outside. To fly on your own. To look beyond the herd.

Orders. They're something Rarity's been getting more and more of lately, and they've been causing her no end of stress. When she finally cracks under the pressure, there's only one pony who can offer her help. Fluttershy, however, has her own problems to deal with, and they're just as dire as Rarity's.
Perhaps they could cooperate and find a mutually beneficial solution . . .

Anchor Foal: A Romantic Cringe Comedy by Estee
https://www.fimfiction.net/
Discord has one friend. One. A single tie binding him to Equestria, a lone strand of pink tail hair keeping him in some sort of line. His interest in the world's welfare may exactly equal that of his friend's lifespan -- unless there's a next generation for him to adore. And so in the name of the realm's survival, Fluttershy is going to start dating, with Equestria's greatest expert in attracting ponies as her very reluctant prison-sentenced advisor. All Fleur has to do if she ever wants to come home again is get the world's most socially hesitant pony happily married off and pregnant, while constantly keeping Discord in the dark about what's truly happening.
What could possibly go wrong?

In Birdsong by themoontonite
https://www.fimfiction.net/
Fluttershy is a private mare. She keeps to herself when she can afford to, much preferring the company of animals to ponies. She doesn't like to really say why that is. She doesn't know how to tell anypony what happened. She doesn't know how to explain it or even where to start.
She just wonders if anypony else has heard the singing too.

Discord found love, and Equestria peace, through his union with Fluttershy, till death do them part.
But what happens after that?
Yellow Immortality by Estee
https://www.fimfiction.net/
It's all in the color, isn't it? We've seen it time and time again. There's a certain limited range of shades which guarantee survival. In fact, that part of the color wheel means staying in the world whether you want to or not, even if you should have passed on long ago.
So in the end, it's not that her fur means Fluttershy CAN'T die. It's more that the network isn't going to LET her.

More Than Trust by TheTalentlessPony

Weeks have past since Tirek had been defeated. Life in Ponyville is back to normality, and Discord couldn't be happier, especially given the fact that all of his friends had forgiven his betrayal.
However, lately he's noticed that Fluttershy doesn't act like herself. She's constantly tired, a bit moody, and overall just not-Fluttershy. She claims to be fine, but Discord is done hearing that excuse.
And he will find out what's wrong. He has to...
