King Vorak may think his punishment of Tirek and imprisonment of Sendak is the end of his son's dark pursuits...but Tirek realizes that his first experience with Equestrian magic is only the beginning. As Scorpan tries to understand his brother, he watches as something darker and more disturbing than he has ever seen before in Tirek starts to take shape. And Scorpan grows worried...especially when Discord pays the young princes a visit and seems even more interested in Equestria than Tirek is. The younger brother can only hope that love will quell Tirek's mad quest for power one day before it is too late.

Many years later, Scorpan, having befriended a young unicorn wizard, makes the most difficult decision of his life...a decision which banishes his best friend to Tartarus.

And, alone in Tartarus, Tirek contemplates where he went wrong in his quest for power, and the significance of the betrayal that has come upon him.

As Sombra pens the final words in his diary, the pony sisters descend upon the kingdom, and the shadow king prepares to meet them. Ascending to the throne room from his study, Sombra reflects on his plans, his feelings now, and the final fear he shall instill in the crystal ponies that will endure in them for a thousand years and beyond!

The thousand years passes, Sombra is defeated, and whatever is left of the shadow king reflects on his fall at the hooves of Twilight and others while he waits...and waits...and waits...for the inevitable defeat of light by darkness.

And back in the past, just after the Crystal Empire's banishment, Celestia and Luna tearfully try to come to terms with Sombra's curse and how the news will affect Radiant Hope. Luna in particular does her best to make sense of the madness.

Sparkler loved her daddy. While mommy worked, daddy played. He made her smile, laugh, and enjoy even the simplest things in life. Yes, Sparkler was happy. With a mommy who is a beautiful princess, and a daddy who knows how to make her smile, what more could she ask for? Life was perfect... Until other fillies at her school tell her just how awful her and her daddy were.

Note: This fic is based on the brief animatic we saw during the hiatus between seasons 4 and 5. It's not necessarily canon with the actual events of "Make New Friends but Keep the Discord." Thank you!

A short, sweet, somewhat fluffy, Celestiacord story based entirely on the season 5 animatic we saw recently :)

"Announcing, The Smooze!"

Yes, the season 5 animatic clip showed us that there will be a Smooze episode! And it also interestingly showed us that there will be a dance/gala episode coming up...and that Discord will be there in a tux and top hat (cue fangirling)...and that Celestia seems pretty happy to see him when he shows up This story is one little potential scenario for how Celestia and Discord's interactions together might go based on reading a lot into that look Celestia gives Discord when he walks in, the flowers from season 4 (of course), and the fact that I just think these two are such a compatible couple Enjoy, and thank you for reading!

We're so close to season 5! I don't know about you, but I'm going stir crazy!

It's been a long week, and Twilight's feeling annoyed. Discord just won't stop bothering her: following her around, making snarky comments - just being Discord. Fluttershy thinks he might have ulterior motives, but Twilight's sure the lord of chaos is interested in nothing more than irritating his (least) favorite princess. He couldn't possibly like her... right?

Cadence and Shining Armor visit one of their generals and his wife in the hospital to give their congratulations on the new born foal. However... the visit wasn't as routine as they first thought.

Based off ScopeEva's prompt/idea during a discussion. Told ya I'd put it on my to-do list.

Note: Story takes place between seasons 4 and 5 (and was drafted prior to knowledge of "Make New Friends but Keep Discord".)

Discord’s miffed that Princess Celestia doesn’t seem to have extended him a ticket to the Gala—he thought they were friends! (Though maybe he understands a little, considering his recent betrayal, even if he did make things right in the end). However, when she shows up to not only give him his ticket in person but to ask him to be her personal escort for the evening, Discord is surprised (and then smugly satisfied) to say the least…that is until Rarity decides that Celestia’s invitation was clearly her asking Discord out on a date.

Discord dismisses the idea however as he has plenty of other things on his mind at the moment—ponies at the Gala will certainly be talking about Tirek, and how can he face their questions when guilt about what he did is bothering him so much that he can’t even talk about his mistake with his friends? And what is he supposed to do now with his life since he’s finally fully reformed?

Pretty soon Discord’s worries spill over into his dreams—many random dreams…and many random dreams specifically about Celestia. What is his subconscious trying to tell him? And why does Celestia keep trying to get closer to him? It’s all leading up to the most chaotic night ever when Discord will show up at the Gala arm in arm with Celestia and ready to face the world as the ‘REFORMED reformed’ Discord!

(Featured fall 2015, and spring & summer 2016 )

“Yes, Princess, I’m ready to use my magic for good instead of evil…most of the time.”

“I’ll leave the Elements with you, Twilight…just in case.”

Directly following the events of “Keep Calm and Flutter On” Discord and Celestia call each other out on these little ‘disclaimers’ and try to explain their words while still maintaining their new friendship. They soon agree on some interesting conditions for Discord’s recent reform, leading to the castle, some Royal Canterlot Voice from Luna, cake, and an interesting night and morning as Discord figures out how to relate to his former princess foes in a much less evil (if as obnoxious as ever) sort of way. He especially enjoys his new ‘friendly’ way of bothering Celestia.

Later, following Tirek’s defeat (and Discord’s final reform), the chaos master and the sun princess assess how their friendship has gone and where it might go from here. Luna throws in her two bits as well. Naturally, cake is eaten. And, of course, no matter how reformed he may become, Discord ‘loves’ teasing Celestia as much as ever…and it’s sort of grown on Celestia too.

(Rated Teen really only because of some suggestiveness, and I just want to err on the side of caution :) )
