Twilight Sparkle is still trying to navigate the world of Canterlot High when she gets sent to the school counselor's office., where the oh-so-familiar face of Dr. Cord awaits. How is this supposed to help her on her mission to recover the crown and return to Equestria before the portal closes?
She'll just have to be surprised by the answer.

Takes place in the Equestria Girls universe. Rated Teen for brief suggestive dialogue.

This story is a sequel to Learning ABCs - Adorable, Bothersome, Chaotic

Ever since Discord did NOT tell Twilight just who planted the seeds that nearly threw entire Equestria in disarray, Twilight has been giving this secretive relationship-y thingy some serious thought. But it is hard to hold Discord down from doing what he wants and getting what he wishes. It is going to be hard to juggle his chaotic persona with the harmonic balance of the kingdom she was chosen to rule.

It is also probably going to be quite funny.

This story is a sequel to A Pony's Sympathy

Following Discord's last escape from stone [as seen in A Pony's Sympathy], Twilight Sparkle sought to understand his role in the keeping of Balance in Equestria

Her want to understand sparked an alliance of sorts, a kind of understanding between them. Although having one pony in his corner has done little to convince the rest.

His lack of empathy and understanding of a pony's sensibility has been tolerated by Celestia.

But while both the princesses and the bearers of the Elements of Harmony struggle with even more dire problems, Discord is forced into a lesson of his own, and it could not have come at a more inopportune time.

Continuing the story of A Pony's Sympathy, the fledgling friendship between the Spirit of Chaos and the Element of Magic may determine the fate of the ponies, and the way both sides of harmony regard one another.

[Written/published between Nov. 2012 and Nov. 2013, based loosely on Star Trek: The Next Generation episode 3x13 'Deja Q']

*Contains Discolight*

Twilight is living an a mental hospital after supposedly she sees Discord, but no pony else can see him. She lives her days out in the hospital reading books and being tormented daily by Discord. Day after day she is bothered by him, and no matter how much she screams and yells at him, he never stops.

The only place of true solace is in her dreams, where her meds have stop him from entering. But when one night he appears and says he is actually alive but weak, Twilight is unsure to believe if its the insanity speaking or is actually him trying to reach her.

Discord has watched Twilight from afar for as long as he has known her, and now he has written a letter in order to describe how he honestly feels about his one true love.

Tirek is gone and so is the library, but Twilight Sparkle can't stop thinking about them. Is she playing the part she wants to play? Are her desires all the same as her mentor's? Has ascension truly helped her to spread the magic of friendship? To answer these questions she must turn to her friends, her mentor, and a more uncertain source: her heart.

With shattered elements and hope, Twilight Sparkle is caught with an unknown ailment while she embarks on a quest to return the sun. The "hallucination" Discord has come to taunt her efforts, never resting and always close to her side. Friends enslaved, one Princess killed and the other banished, Twilight's search takes an unexpected turn as her mind ebbs away into darkness. Equestria's only light in the dark could be Discord saving the mare before she's corrupted for good. But as more information on Discord's history with the two sisters is revealed, questions arise about the credibility of her former leader Celestia and the intentions behind imprisoning Discord and Nightmare Moon, and what the true answer to saving her world could be.
Perfection came at a cost.

Sombra wants to sleep. He really does. But he can't. Why? Because he's lonely.

When a major magical mishap leaves Discord homeless and seemingly without his powers, he gets it in his head that he can simply stay with Twilight until he has somewhere else to go. He's rather insistent, too.

But hey, having an annoying and presumptuous roommate that causes ridiculous and unpredictable things to happen all around them simply by existing can't be all that terrible, can it?

...on second thought, maybe don't answer that. Just pray she doesn't end up falling in love with the fool.

"Sombra?"
"What?"
"I'm pregnant."
"...What."

Pinkie decides to prank Sombra on April Fools just to poke some fun at him, but her plan backfires when his reaction isn't what she thought it'd be.
