As the Grand Galloping Gala draws to a close, tensions linger from Discord and Fluttershy's fight. Discord, nervous and remorseful, is afraid to approach her. Meanwhile, Fluttershy regrets yelling at him, even while knowing better.

The good news: Fluttershy knows she can set everything right again.

The bad news: it's going to require her to come to grips with old wounds.

Pinkie Pie is overjoyed when she meets a Pegasus who seems almost exactly like her.
She's fun, silly, and Pinkie's friends take an immediate liking to her.
What could possibly go wrong?

Translated into Russian here!

"So, um, do we walk back up the slide or... or what?"

And with that the ponies began their trek through Pinkie's party cave...

Sometimes, when I look at fanart... things happen.
This was one of them.
I'm sorry.

Shining Armor has everything - the wife, the house, the life. So when he rolls over to find the creature that crashed his wedding and nearly wrecked his chance at happiness snuggled oh-so-sweetly at his side, with his darling Cadance at his other, it's all he can do to keep it together and try to assemble the missing pieces.

Two months after Discord's reformation, he decides to give Fluttershy a visit. He sends the letter and teleports to Ponyville. Fluttershy tells him what he did to Celestia and what they did to fix it.. He couldn't stop laughing.

Tea... isn't tea just a wonderful thing?

NOTE: This is an unofficial sequel to "Princess Celestia Hates Tea". But I did indeed get the permission from the original writer.

It has been half a year since Twilight was crowned as Princess of Equestria, half a year since she and her friends had given up the Elements to save the Tree of Harmony.

Now Canterlot is under siege by an alliance of Griffins, Changelings, and Dragons who are determined to end Equestria once and for all. With the elements no longer available, the safely of Equestria lies on Pinkie Pie and Discord… and the next generation of princesses gatling guns.

Will Discord and Pinkie save the day? Will Celestia, Luna, Cadence and Twilight have enough fire power to repel the invaders? Only time will tell.

What better way for Discord to demonstrate how well he's come to understand that it's perfectly okay to have multiple friends than to host one of his traditional Tuesday Teas for Fluttershy and invite their two newest friends, Tree Hugger and Smooze, to join them? The four laugh, talk, and share (and drink tea, of course) as Discord slowly learns to accept and embrace the special happiness that comes from learning to care for and be cared for by many others in different ways and for different reasons.

Later that night, Celestia pays Discord a visit to discuss this year's Gala, next year's Gala, and what he's learned from recent events. And after she leaves, Smooze and Discord decide to spend the rest of their evening living it up with a 'new friends' slumber party. The rascals.

After the invasion of Canterlot failed, the Changelings were given a strict rule by their Queen. No Changeling was ever, EVER, allowed to speak of that failure for as long as they lived, neither were they allowed to utter the name of the princess who defeated their Queen, lest they pay the penalty of Death.

One Changeling accidentally lets slip the name of the princess during a meal, and immediately Queen Chrysalis sentences him to die by stoning.

His execution doesn't go the way she had in mind, though...

This story based and inspired by one of my favorite scenes from Monty Python: Life of Brian.
