Researching the history of Discord's time as ruler of the land, Twilight comes across something strange that piques her interest. Looking further into it, she discovers a piece of information that changes the dynamic of not only her own, but everypony's relationship with the mysterious draconequus.

Discord is utterly bemused by the apparent turn of events. Why in Equestria is everyone suddenly being so nice to him?

"How do I know you're real Fluttershy?"

Discord struggles with accepting reality when four of his senses have been stunted for so long.

Twilight and her fellow Elements of Harmony, along with Spike, must travel outside of Equestria to find a cure for an ailing Princess Celestia. This journey, however, forces them to travel with an old acquaintance they had all but forgotten...

edit: This story now has two kinda-sequels; the shipfic Diplomacy and the slice-of-life fic A Normal Day!

While lounging around Twilight's castle and airing some friendship-related grievances, Discord stumbles across a magic book containing letters from an inter-dimensional pen pal. As it just so happens, this pen pal also had sinister designs for Equestria, but was quashed by the Elements of Harmony. What's more, she's made amends since that day, and she's now Twilight's friendship student. Eager to bond with someone who can relate to him on a personal level and grow into a better draconequus, Discord packs his bags and heads off to the human world with Twilight's semi-blessing. His mission: Befriend Sunset Shimmer.

However, his plan has a bit of a snag. See, Sunset hasn't been keeping up with Equestrian events, and she never got the memo about Discord turning over a new leaf. As such, she believes that his sudden appearance doesn't bode well for Equestria, Canterlot High, or herself. Not only this, but the Sirens are privy to Discord's return as well, and they see this as a golden opportunity to bounce back from their own recent defeat. Well, Adagio does, anyway. Sonata doesn't want to live in a world that makes no sense, and Aria would rather maintain what little dignity she has left by not getting involved (or so she claims).

So while Discord is trying to earn Sunset's trust and show her what a good friend he is now, Adagio is trying to get in on an evil scheme that doesn't exist. And while that is going on, Sonata is appealing to the Rainbooms behind Adagio's back, hoping that they'll make Discord go away. With so much miscommunication thrown into the mix, you just know that hijinks are inevitable. Good thing Aria made popcorn.

Discord approaches Twilight Sparkle with a peculiar question: How many animals are incorporated into his physiology? When she fails to answer correctly, she gets a thorough education on Draconequus biology and a lesson on addition.

In the midst of a blackout, Discord decides to have some fun with his favorite six ponies. Little does he know their idea of a revenge may turn out to be a very ticklish situation indeed, revenge paid by scribbling hooves and fluffy feathers.

Disgruntled and humiliated, the Spirit Of Chaos is firmly set on taking a nice revenge on his favorite pony, and the mastermind behind the almighty torture:

Fluttershy.

COLLABORATED STORY WITH MY FRIEND MICCHA. She is Discord and at some points Rarity, Twilight, Applejack and Rainbow. I'm everyone else.

Dads are never hard to please, and Dads are hard to get to smile. Sometimes it's hard to know your Dad loves you, but a true Dad always comes through in the end. An alternate universe of "Broken Spirit", in which Aegeus and Astraia had not been killed by Discord and were in fact the ones to stone him. You MUST have read "Broken Spirit" up to chapter nine to understand any of this.

Hearths Warming Eve has always been a dear holiday for the ponies, that's filled with love, laughter, and joy. From behind stone walls for thousands of years, Discord always hated the day when it rolled by, and that hasn't changed even after he's once again free.

But in the season of happiness and friendship, something is going to change the holidays for both Discord and Fluttershy forever.

(A pre-written fic I'm only just getting put up now, and it's set in the universe of "Broken Spirit" You MUST understand at least the gist of "Broken Spirit" to get the idea of this fic. Image © Karzahnii)

The ponies have had it with Discord's pranks, and when they all wish he no longer has his magic, under unexpected circumstances, it comes true. It's a relieving occasion for the ponies--up until Discord falls deathly ill. Ridden with grief at their selfish wish, the ponies venture off on a small journey to save Discord's life, and recover the draconequus's magic from the beast that's keeping it hostage. The clock is ticking, and through their small journey, they learn that the price of chaos was nothing to pay in comparison to losing someone they love.

Based off the events of "Broken Spirit", and you must at least understand the plot to understand this fic.

Discord loves living in the cottage with Fluttershy, where he can get away with almost anything with a guardian that's too timid to stand up to him, but when Fluttershy decides to take some assertiveness training from Applejack, and a prank of Discord's nearly costs lives, the hapless draconequus is in for a rude awakening when he pushes his guardian's buttons one too many times.

Set in the events of "Broken Spirit", shortly before Discord moves back into the palace.
