She looks so beautiful. So calm and peaceful… thought Twilight as she gazed upon Fluttershys unmoving face. The casket was perfect. It held not only Fluttershys cutie mark, but also the rest of her friends; including Twilight. Because the truth was all of them were in that casket. Her, Pinkie, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, each of them was lying on the silk bed, hooves folded, as they waited to be put to rest forever. Fluttershy hadnt just only died, a part of the had also died with her.
 
There is a lot of Snow White in this illustration. The glass coffin was Rated’s idea and I ran with it to its crippling consequences (for my drawing hand, as this goddamn coffin took too long to draw). It was worth it, though. It allowed me to work with transparencies and reflections, something I don’t do on a daily basis. Also, the base of the coffin has the engraved cutie marks of all of the Mane Six, just a little detail that wasn’t originally in the script.
 
It hurts to kill off a character, even if it’s not real and it doesn’t have any everlasting consequences outside the world of the fanfic, this feels really painful.
