    1. Flutter Dash or Rainbow Shy is just fine.

      Plus it's standard that Rainbow has been with each pony in a story at some time or another.

      But has she ever been shipped with all five of the main cast at the same time not counting group hugs? As in she activelt persues romantic interests in all of them and they are aware of it.

      It sure is! Takes place like a minute and a half after the end of it, even.

    6. This isn't a standalone story?

    11. This is great. I loved both Chasing Rainbows and Catching Rainbows. They're the best FlutterDash fics out there in my opinion.

    12. Oh, phoe has written stuff, I didn't even realize it.

      I loved chasing rainbows lol.

    13. Nice, really good story. But you can't leave it there now that you left it on a cliffhanger! I expects Part 3!!!

    14. Well, I hnnnnnnnng'd.

    15. VERY cute story, though I'm more of a Pinkie/Dash fella myself. Also, can't help but notice that almost all of Dash's ships involve a troubled past.

    16. Flutterdash

      I know I said Flutterdash all the way back in January.

      Also, very cute!

      All tomboys are only tomboys to hide a troubled past, obviously. Brave face and all that.

      Regardless, I said what I liked in chat but I may as well reiterate; good setting, thought narrations felt in-character as much as the character themselves, great pacing, good job expressing both side's concerns, it was all a fun read.

    18. Loved it, fantastic pacing, good characterisation. Peleponysian? Really?

      There is one final piece to this story, and it is the piece that convinced me to continue the story in the first place. I'm also on the hook for several other stories I hope everypony will enjoy, but hopefully it shall not take me another 45 days to reach the conclusion. My hoofsies are crossed it'll turn out as well as I want it to!

      @9Nine9

      You know, I don't think it's really so much to do with the fact that she's a tomboy. That's more symptomatic of her interests aligning with more typically "masculine" thing. When writers give Dash a troubled past, I think it's got a lot more to do with the fact that she's... well... got a troubled past. She was kicked out of flight school, and seems to cling to the belief that she's either the best, or she's nothing. These aren't the sorts of traits you see in somepony who grew up 100% happy and content. I <3 Dash. She's my little broken butterfly...

      @Common

      Yes really. Peleponysian. If I accomplish only one thing in this fandom, I want it to be making that word stick. If I can accomplish two things, I'd also hope to inspire Drawfriend art at some point, but that's being greedy.

    20. That was really sweet and was told very well.

      Also, yeah, sleeping WITH people is nice... Except you often do actually sleep too well and end up in an uncomfortable position and their body is too damn hot to get comfortable next to.
      I swear, sex exists solely to make you sleepy enough TO sleep with someone. Also babies, I guess.

      ReplyDelete
    21. Rainbow Dash chuckled. “I swear, you are the least pegasusy pegasus ever. It’s like you were secretly meant to be an earth pony.”

      I didn't notice Peleponysian. I noticed this.

      You, sir/ma'am, are awesome.

    22. Too adorable for words.

      Awww, I loved it! So adorable! <3

    24. Yuck! I hate most femslashes, but this has got to be the WEIRDEST idea I've ever heard! Totally incompatable! Wouldn't Rainbow Dash/Applejack at least make more sense?

      ReplyDelete
    25. Phoe I have to ask you a question.

      Do you think RainbowDash tastes like skittles?

      great story btw.

      ReplyDelete
    26. Angel's reaction in the end can be summed up in two words.

      "Fuck yeah."

    27. I've read all three so far, and I've come to realize that I love the way you write. I just ate the stories up like candy. I feel like I downed the most fantastic ice cream smoothie after a long, hot day.

      Hot damn, you're good. Crisp, clean, and well-defined. Perfect authoring is what this is.

      I most assuredly will keep my eye out for more of your tales in the future, Phoe, and I hope you plan on making a profit for your talent in the future. You have ze magiks, as a certain photographer pony would say.

      I feel privileged to have been able to read these, and am proud to call you a brony.

    28. This is awesome!
      Can't wait for the next part!

      PS:
      Please put a link to this one in the 'Chasing Rainbows' story-part. I almost didn't know there was this part already availlable.
      Thank Celestia for the fitting title you gave it!
      The moment I saw that, I knew it had to be the next part there.
      *yay!* #^-^#

    29. more people need to read this, seriously. i love this shipping story even though im into PinkieDash more, i might need to foward this story to a few people

      ReplyDelete
    30. I have no shame in admitting that I let loose a few MANLY tears after reading that.

      I salute you.

    31. WHERE'S THE NEXT PART!?! =((((((((((((((((((((((((((((

      ReplyDelete
    32. I really like FlutterDash ships. To me it seems that Dash always has that bravado and with Fluttershy she can drop it without fear of judgment. Might just be me though.

      Loved both stories.

    33. One word: Squee!

      *twinkling eyes*

    34. this series may have possibly surpassed my old favourite "off the edge of the map" flutterdash, or rainbowshy..... whatever it is, never fails to make this brony cry awesomeness.

      you sir/madam have earned many brohooves for this trilogy

      ReplyDelete
    35. I've read the three stories of the series now. It was a really pleasing and entertaining story. It made me laugh, it almost made me cry, and it contained really strong images. Like Fluttershy, standing alone on a cloud in the rain, waiting for Rainbow Dash to return to apology. Maybe I'll even draw a picture of that.

      ReplyDelete
    36. wait a minute, why is twilight sparkle tagged in this story? shes not even in it! and the Fluttrshy tag is missing too D=

      but yeah I almost cried it was so bwaaaaaa

    37. So beautiful.
      I've read the three-part series, and really, I adored it more and more with reading through each one.

      Really, both RD's and FS's characters are so spot-on, I love it. Plus Angel, hahaha such a cool little companion he is ^^

      For some kind of reason, I can't completely approve for this kind of troubled past for Rainbow Dash, but what the hay, it makes the ship go so well, so let's go with it :3

      I never realized you wrote so well Phoe (well until now). I'm definitely out reading your other works, and truly, my heart would sing if I'd ever see a 4th part to this.

    38. Angel Bunny totally makes this one. :D

    39. Love this! It cured my cancer, but gave me diabetes. :) FlutterDash is not my OTP but I still love the ship, it's just sooooooo adorable. :)
