One thousand years ago, when the Kingdom of Equestria was just beginning to bloom, and a pair of Princesses were only a few decades into their reign, a lone Draconequus by the name of Discord entered the land. He was a creature never before beheld by the ponies of Equestria, and his arrival was met with mixed reactions. Some ponies wanted him out of their land as quickly as he had come. Some ponies wanted a chance to better understand him and his ways. And there was one pony who dared to think more of him than anything else in the world...

I love this! I think that you did Eclipse REALLY well!
And I'm still honored that you would use him in your story!

No problem! I was kinda worried I wouldn't do the character justice, but I'm so glad you approve

Eeyep! One of the funnest ships I've ever worked with
A nice start. You just earned yourself an upvote and a favorite!

I'm glad you enjoyed it! Honestly though, my first chapters always pale in comparison to the rest of the fic. It should be getting way better
2097043 What about Diamond Tiara x Snails?

Well that's just crazy talk! I wouldn't even know how to make an attempt at a ship with those two
2116170 It's extremely hard, but very rewarding. Check this one out:
Pride and Prejudice and Snails
EDIT: Three other awesome pairings are:
Luna/Nightmare Moon x King Sombra
Garble x Gilda
And my favorite... drumroll, please!

GUMMY X CRACKLE!
Huh. First off, sorry for my tardiness in getting around to reading this. I sort of forgot about it after leaving my phone at home on a trip. I digress - here I am, and now I shall speak my mind!
Now, I'm very on the fence about characterisation here. Discord you write excellently, but the princesses... Well, it's pretty obvious you aren't even trying to make their characters line up with canon. And I don't know how I feel about that. It makes their dialogue a bit more interesting, but at the same time they've lost all sense of mysteriousness. The princesses are supposed to be reserved, their reservation gives them allure because it can be hard to figure out their true intentions and motivations. On top of that, your readers all have expectations about what these preexisting characters should behave like. And even if you have a good explanation, like the characters are much younger (as I presume they are), you're still forcing your audience to relearn their personalities... So you might as well just be working with OCs.
Anyways, I cant make a decisive judgement yet. Time will tell if your style will be adaptable to these characters.
Substance aside, this does need a bit of copy editing. I spotted a few typos and punctuation errors in there. And the capitals were really tiring, but I guess that just helps me sympathise better with Celly, hehe.
Good chapter overall. I eagerly await updates.
Fantastic!
(Insert obligatory statement about disdain for cussing here)
If it wouldn't seem too conceited, I'd just like to mention a couple things in regards to my character, Eclipse...
First of all, the more you use it, the more the "living in the reflection" idea seems like a stroke of genius! Would it bothered you if I used that at some point?
Spoiler: I'm thinking about killing Eclipse, so it would be the same setup with Discord if I did use it...

I can't wait to see what happens when Discord leaves his room and Celestia spots his reflection(s?) in a window or something. THAT'S going to be interesting! Especially if it's only for a really brief moment. OR if Luna got a chance to talk to Eclipse and find out for herself a few unique things about Discord and/or his brother... The two younger siblings might understand one another, since Discord kind of ran while Eclipse was killed, and Luna feels like she's being neglected by her own sister, the two could have an interesting dynamic, perhaps inherently pushing her more towards Nightmare Moon... But this is all theory on my part, of course! Just thinking about what "could be..."

Seriously, though, don't take any of this as serious direction. It's all just speculation on my part, free to use or not as you wish.
If it doesn't seem too bold of me, if Eclipse and Celestia ever get the chance to talk (Like, maybe the reflection can stay after discord leaves, as long as someone pays attention to it, IDK...), or if there's a more somber moment with Discord, it would be nice to find out more in detail what happened to Eclipse...There's a lot of potential that his own death could still be a touchy subject. I can only imagine what happens if you make a draconequus ghost angry. He might be just a little indignant at how Discord casually passed over talking about his death... Death by dragon. Ouch.

(Just having a little fun with one of my favorite movies, there...)
But aside from that, I really am enjoying how this is going! You're doing a FANTASTIC job!! Sorry my comment is more gif than words, but they all seemed rather appropriate. I love this story, and I'm practically bouncing in my seat with eagerness for the next chapter!!!

Thank you very much! And of course you can use the reflection thing! Hell, I am using your character after all to execute it.
As far as characters besides Discord communicating with Eclipse, I'm just as in the dark about how that may play out as you are
My original idea was to have a sort of Jack Nicholson/Jack Torrance Shining thing going on, where Discord would be the only one communicating with Eclipse and could only do so if a mirror/reflective surface was present. As I wrote this though, and got to the scene where Celestia heard Discord speaking to someone outside of his door, I thought it might be interesting if she could hear Eclipse as well. So here we are! It's opened up a lot of possibilities that I have absolutely no idea how to go about exploring
And as for a description of his death, expect it in excruciating detail the next chapter
Speaking of which, while I am getting a lot more done than I ever was before and am hoping to have it out by this time next week, do not hold your breath!
I am ungodly lazy when it comes to writing. I cannot stress that enough
Anyways, thank you for the kind review and letting me use your character!

Thank you very much! And I don't really mind it being obscure. Maybe as more chapters are released more people will come across it!
