Fluttershy has not had an easy life. After enduring years of abuse, the loss of her daughter, and a tumultuous love life, she's ready to draw her line in the sand. She'll make her coda to cap off everything she's ready to leave behind, then she'll start over.

But no matter what she does, it seems that the past never truly goes away.

A story set in the Who We Become series.
