After the events of A Royal Canterlot Wedding part 1, Twilight feels horrific. Having pushed away her brother, her friends, and even Princess Celestia over her ridiculous claims that Cadence was somehow evil, Twilight, in her sadness and loneliness, thinks to throw away the most valuble of Celestia's gifts ... her life.

But, never one to pass up an opportunity for some good mayhem, Discord offers another prize instead ... to see what would happen if Twilight was never born.

(An homage to the classic "It's a Wonderful Life")

The Changelings won. After years of regaining their strength and numbers on the outskirts of Equestria, along with reworking their plan, they have managed to invade the country and corner the last remaining free ponies in the Crystal Empire. All the while, three princesses discuss war strategies with what little they have while the other tries to remember when she lost the meaning of friendship...

The world has ended or did it start anew?

Just a short story meant to make you think.

Twilight's overjoyed... the map is restored, and it's sending her on her first map mission in ages. Then she finds out who's going with her...

Twilight tries to make a Piña Colada, but finds that she can't because her coconut is stretchy.

Back during the whole "Blue Flu" incident, Twilight kept claiming that she was Discord's friend. However, a certain Draconequus couldn't help but notice a lack of sincerity in her tone. Is Twilight really Discord's friend? Or do some grudges never die?

Written in one in a half hours, ending at 1:15 am. That's the only time my creativity really hits its peak.

EDIT: featured 2/24. Wow.

Two things Twilight learned the days before the Grand Galloping Gala. One: don’t cast spells to force you to stay awake. Two: who knew Discord would make such a brilliant dance partner?

When Twilight royally messes up before the grand galloping gala she sits in agony at the thought of having to see the very nobles at the gala who saw her collapse. However, in this self-deprecation she least expected Discord to be a source of comfort.

Now with a reading!

In a thrift store, Discord finds Twilight's other half of their matching necklaces. He is not upset at all. Nope, not one bit.

When Starlight Glimmer tricked Twilight Sparkle into freezing a filly Rainbow Dash in crystal, the sonic rainboom was prevented. This sent a wave of chaos through the timesteam as destiny unraveled, and empowered Discord. He is quite curious as to who exactly was evil enough to cast a potentially lethal spell at a filly.

Discord wants Twilight to hit him. Twilight thinks there has to be a catch. Set in the same continuity as my TNG crossover fics, between "The Princess and the Dragon" (and also "Discord's First, Last and Only Friendship Report") and "The King Who Would Be Man", but Discord being Q isn't relevant to this specific story.

A zipped copy of a WMA Audio file of me reading this story is now up on my web site, but be warned, the zip file is 28 megs. (The WMA is a good bit bigger than that.) I have an MP3 version as well, but it was both larger and less compressible, so I went with the WMA version instead.
