Nopony ever said the friendship between Fluttershy and Discord would be an easy one. The difference in their life expectancies doesn’t help, but that’s a problem Discord can fix with a snap of the talons—that is, until Fluttershy finds out. Discord isn’t one to give up easily, though. He’ll do anything to keep his one and only friend. Anything.

Once upon a time, a human named Lero Michealides was inexplicably transported to the magical land of Equestria.  With no way of returning to his home world, he rolled up his sleeves and fashioned a new life for himself in this world of sapient ponies, adapting to their alien society and way of life, all to the very best of his human abilities.  

In time, Lero even managed to find love in the form of a pegasus mare named Rainbow Dash.  But this romance would prove to be unlike anything Lero had ever experienced before!  He quickly learned that because the pony gender ratio equates to about 5 females to every 1 male, monogamy was NOT embraced by the ponies of Equestria as it was by the humans of Earth.   Instead, several females traditionally all married the same male, ("Otherwise, you'd end up with a lot of lonely mares!")  unifying in a polygamous 'herd.'  

Stunning as this news was, Lero simply did what he did best: he adjusted.  He adapted.  

He went with the flow.  

Soon enough, Lero even came to develop a herd of his own: in addition to Rainbow Dash, there came Princess Celestia's prize student, Twilight Sparkle, and later, the serene martial arts master, Lyra Heartstrings.   The four of them were so blissfully, passionately happy together.  Destiny had smiled on them all.  

But then, one day, Princess Celestia tasked her faithful student with fixing an incomplete spell of a long-dead magical genius.

Twilight cast the great wizard's spell.  And in doing so, the Destinies of all her dearest friends were SWITCHED.

Now, while Twilight busies herself finding a cure that'll restore her friends to their former selves, Lero Michealides finds himself in a dire bind, indeed.

One girl, who he never fell in love with -- and who never would have fallen for HIM, in her right mind -- now believes herself to be Lero's soulmate.  The other girl -- the TRUE love of Lero's life -- now sees him as a casual acquaintance.    And convincing them of the truth is an impossibility.  

What will Lero do in a situation where there IS no path of least resistance?   Whatever his ultimate decision... hardship and heartache are destined to confront him at every turn.

Welcome, friends, to Divided Rainbow.

Even though MLP:FiM ended a few years ago, my friends and I still loved the show. Stories, merch, fan art, I loved it all. Things started to get a weird though when I found myself with a cutie mark appearing on my leg. Humans aren't supposed to get cutie marks, so where the heck did this come from? And what's going on with my hair?

This was meant to be a short little quirky story, but as I soon found myself engrossed in writing a bigger and bigger story.  It was originally just written for the 'Pony transformation general' community on /mlp/. However, due to the positive feedback from friends, I then decided to post the story here on FimFiction so others could enjoy it.

It should also be noted that the story here has been slightly modified version from the original. The story you see here has been fully reedited and 'cleaned up' to fit the standards of a "Teen" rating here on FimFic. If you wish to up the ante and read the mature version of the story, you may do so on the Google Doc here. Feel free to switch between either story version whenever you like, as the main story line between the two versions is identical.

Now has a TVTropes Page!

Trixie Lulamoon, the personal student of Princess Luna, has finally, through a combination of reasoning, pleading, and whining, managed to convince the princess to invest some real responsibility in her, and give her a chance to show off everything she's been learning while under the alicorn's wing. Luna has appointed Trixie to be the official representative of her Night Court to the town of Ponyville, which this year will be hosting the Longest Night Celebration. Trixie is additionally tasked with overseeing the preparations for that festival.

At first, things seem to be going less than swimmingly. The catering is way too many kinds of apples, the weather patrol is far behind, the musical maestro is nowhere to be found, and the decorations could use significant toning down. To top it all off, Trixie can't help but feel that this was less an appointment to a position of real responsibility, and more an informal exile from the Night Court. Still, things could be worse: a mad alicorn goddess of fire and hate could escape from her millennial imprisonment on the sun and try and conquer Equestria.

But what are the chances of that?
