(Parody of "Cecilia", by Simon & Garfunkel)
In my own pony stories (Starponys), one theme I really want to explore is the monsters inside us. In My Little Pony, Fluttershy seems to embody the struggle against the terrible nature that exists inside us. I have observed the same out of Pinkie Pie and Twilight Sparkle.
I can imagine Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie both becoming highly possessive of their boyfriends, confusing love with jealousy. For Fluttershy, it might climax in a scene where she screams "you're going to love me" and using her teeth to grab her boyfriend's tail. Pinkie Pie might be in a rage over her boyfriend breaking his Pinkie Promise to be hers forever, possibly trying to tie him up. And then Shining Armor comes to the rescue, easily overpowering Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie.
From there, Shining Armor talks with the boys, and Cadence talks with the girls. Perhaps Cadence herself confesses that she hasn't always appreciated how much her husband wants to please her. She may occasionally act entitled, which a princess shouldn't be doing -- and this occasionally drives him to tears.
My idea is that Fluttershy's and Pinkie Pie's boyfriends are especially attuned to the power of music and how it relates to friendship. Shining Armor takes a special interest in them. He and the four Princesses really want to keep building an army that wins over most enemies with feelings of friendship. Fluttershy's and Pinkie Pie's boyfriends look like spiritual brothers to their respective marefriends, though they are better in control of their feelings. (Provisional names: Falconshy and Curly Joy.)
Fluttershy teaches Falconshy her soft and hard stares, and Pinkie Pie teaches Curly Joy her cartoonish fighting skills. With these skills, and their genuine love for mares, Falconshy and Curly Joy can now truly help their girlfriends' hidden anger problems. They can now stand their ground and not get scared away.
If I ever got the chance, I would love to pilot a series of books that does far more with Shining Armor, and his struggles to teach most stallions the power of friendship. It occurs to him that there seems to be a missing Element of Harmony -- and this discovery ultimately leads to him earning his own wings. As the fifth ruler, he would co-rule with his wife and little sister. He would be the Prince of Friendship & Chivalry.
In a story where all four princesses get captured, Shining Armor needs his sister's girlfriends to help him get through the trauma. From there, he starts to assume his role as the provisional ruler of Equestria. Falconshy and Curly Joy are his right-hoof men.
At one point, he must fight the temptation to use his horn to torture minions whom he has taken prisoner. He actually slips for a moment into a scary-looking rage. Instead, he must use the power of friendship to win over these minions -- most of whom are victims of war themselves. This way, they will be happy to give him the information he needs.

Yep, yep, yep! Kind of ironic to note how I've been a visual learner despite having a visual condition that ultimately took all my vision. Fortunately the Mind's Eye has thrived through support of lots of friends. It is being mentally creative that has kept me going pretty strong for a long time. :)
Sorry I didn't respond to some of your other responses. Between surgery recovery and being back at work, I've fallen behind on comments and notes over here.
I really like what you have going for "Star Ponies". Your character names are quite interesting and the stories behind them are very unique. It's like you created G5 of Pony through what you're putting together.
It's what you are doing that proves how the worry of G4 ending shouldn't be anything to fear. We keep the adventures and magic going through the inspiration we gather from the show. You've made an entire Alternate Universe that is very exciting to learn about. I just need to find a way, and time, to get to read more of the deeper content you've been posting.
Thanks for bringing your talents to FA as this site has been around long before FiM Fiction and will certainly still be here if FiM Fiction loses its ability to stay around from all the worry people have on G4's ending. We shouldn't fear the end as, again, we keep it alive through showing how we have become super creative as a result of it. Moreover is how many of us with limitations have been able to thrive as a result. :)

I have read some of your journals, and you have gone through so much I can barely relate to. I am only four years younger. Despite having a Master's degree, I have always had to live with my parents, for lack of enough employment. I have felt kind of like a fledgling blue jay begging for food. Too often, I have failed to count my blessings -- that I have parents who can and will take care of me whenever I need it.
As a man, I have come to recognize that I am somewhat emotionally fragile. For a long time, I've been scared to watch My Little Pony, because of some of the friends' history of behavioral problems. But after watching the movie, I feel ready to believe that I really can love Twilight Sparkle and her friends as part of my own family. To be family, I have found that we have to accept that we may hurt each other's feelings now and then. It feels like the least I can do -- since my parents had to love me despite my past history of behavioral problems.
So many marriages could be saved if both spouses shared this attitude -- but it takes only one to break it up. As for me, I hope I can pleasure my wife in every shape and form -- and I hope she will return my love.
As part of my own series, I explore the true vulnerability of masculinity. The big-brother figures feel as free to share their feelings as the girls -- they show as much strength and weakness. Regarding girls as their fellow sisters, almost nothing feels like a girls-only (or boys-only) place to them, or their female friends. Their culture is quite a cultural shock for most stallions, as they slowly learn.

I thank you for being so open to share your feelings, my friend. It takes a brave person to go beyond their avatar on a site to talk about their real life experiences.
When I started here, I hid deeply behind Yosh. However the really nice folks helped me to learn I could bring more of myself out along with Yosh. This eventually got me to embrace myself both as Yosh and as a human being in a world that is not as understanding and accepting to those of us with special needs.
You also possess a Masters Degree? Awesome! May I ask what yours is in?
Behaviorarl limitations are certainly tricky to cope with. From what I know, it is more bothersome as you tend to not know why what you do is not understood by those around you. So it becomes very frustrating as it appears the world is unable to meet you in the middle. I know there are a lot of programs, like BHRS, to help with this. However, as Rainbow Dash showed us in "Testing 1... 2... 3...", everyone has their own way of learning how to work with a limitation.
For me, I needed a lot of slaps in the face for reality. I denied my blindness as I was brought up and believed myself to be no different than anyone else. This caused me some pretty lousy grades in my Bachelors Degree. Then I got into the whole 'Life Isn't Fair' emo mode during my 20s. It really wasn't until I turned 33 that I finally realized that I needed to know going blind was going to happen and I needed to make myself learn to work positively with it.
Writing has been a key to my positive success in accepting who and what I am. I also feel it makes me a better advocate for those who have yet to learn what others have helped me to learn.
My best pal, Nishi, helped me tons and told me, "It doesn't matter when you learned it. What matters is that you did.".
Other pals have done similar things and, as a result, I always try to pay the indness forward. :)

My Master's degree is in Geophysics. My current job doesn't involve a whole lot of geosciences. However, my scientific background seems crucial for my technical-writing skills.
It seems to me that Princess Celestia and Princess Luna must be feeling troubled deep inside themselves. Lately, (as you earlier indicated) they must be feeling in the shadows of the six mares who used to be their students. I really hope the Young Six can lift their old teachers back up.
I look forward to seeing Shining Armor sharing more of his feelings with his big little sister. I hope Princess Twilight Sparkle can really do something to lift him up, so that he really can be her faithful knight in shining armor -- along with the rest of the royal guard. (I don't think it is a coincidence that the 200th episode features our favorite stallion.)

The more I think about it, I think about how gentle the Mane 6 really are -- given the powers they really have to hurt others (if they wanted to). And then I feel I would be honored to be able to bow before them, and become one of the servants who wash their hooves. If one of them has a bad day, I can be confident we will still be a great family.
