Being a god's friend comes with certain benefits. Being a god's only friend comes with massive cost.


This story is the unholy spawn of my imagination, a TV Tropes Fridge Horror entry, and "I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream" by Harlan Ellison. Rated "Teen" to be on the safe side. Criticism is welcomed.

Well, that super chilling

Discord has problems.

Oh dear Sithis, that title its its, *reads it* *faves it* *Up votes it* *follows author*

I liked it, and the idea of Immortalshy as Discord's eternal companion was good, except one thing in the story really bothered me.

The numbers. "The numbers, Mason. What do they mean?"

Time went on, the circle of life spun. Rarity died at age 73. Twilight Sparkle still possessed a remarkable amount of magical ability at 85,

I see that in most cases, you use the abuse of numbers as its own little plot device, to signify that Fluttershy has been slowly keeping track of these long years. I may be seen as OCD or nit-picky here, but please spell out the numbers. It makes to story more professional-looking and keeps the story flowing nicely.

From what I understand is that you are supposed to spell out one through ten, then it is 11-infinity, which if I had an infinity key, I would have put there as well.

As for the story, it was rather disturbing, I do admit. I know once I could control nothing, I would work on tuning everything out, sleeping while moving. But that is just me. Very well written, though I don't think I will reread it.

I CHOOSE TO BELIEVE THAT THIS DID NOT HAPPEN.

Discord did not make ponies vanish. That might upset his friend, after all.
And he made more friends. He did.

WHY YOU MAKE ME FEEL SO SAD

Thus demonstrating the perils of immortality. That usually seems to be Twilight Sparkle's story territory these days, what?

Oddly enough, I could almost see Discord pulling something like this. Reformed or not, I doubt he'd take his only friend's death easily.

damn nigga that's some unfortunate shit happenin' to flutters

Dang, this is super creepy and well done. :pinkiegasp:

My only critique would be that the "HE" thing seemed a bit melodramatic to me, but maybe that's just me. This fic is really great all the same.

oo

Well-written and a near-perfect homage to Ellison's classic. It'd be hard to find the distinction between the two.

So dark...
Just my ....*dramatic flair* ...cup of tea! *sips tea*

Poor Flutters. :fluttercry:

Dear mother of 'insert applicable deity here' was that dark!

all in all good story but where did discord send all the others? dear god tell me he didn't send them to the unspoken generations :pinkiegasp: :pinkiegasp:

Anyone who knows the story I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream will know that Fluttershy is more like AM than Discord could ever be.

Lemme get this strait...

She can't talk, move in any way, and can't die...ever...
Can it get any more depressing!?!?!?
Discord is like my favorite character and this makes me wanna slap him in the face....and make his face look like he was just kissed by fluttershy..
I HATE YOU DISCORD!!! *Don't worry just in this fanfic...* ;3
But srsly.....whose idea was this?!?!?! Its well written but its so dark and sad.
I mean in like a major fluttercord shipper and I see this and it in a way discourages me..ya know?

..........really good story.
And one I wish I hadn't read because of the emotions it caused.
You did your job well when wriitng this, good sir.

So I cry for you dear Fluttershy...
Sweet Luna! I can't stop crying...
Before I read this story I think that Fluttershy x Discord are a romantic couple.... But now...
:fluttercry:

Well, you've certainly done a very good job on this.
And I Must Scream indeed. Fridge Horror is pretty tasty when it's the immortality flavor, don't you agree?

Well that was depressing. I both like and hate this story. Fluttershy is my favorite pony and I hate to see her suffer. My only solace is knowing that Discord would never do this IRL.

Have a like.

Worst prison ever. If I was in her place, I'd kill myself. Oh wait... I wouldn't be able to.
Truly amazing and sad story. CreepyPastaSalad's reading of it brought me here.

Dark...but good.

This was painful to read. :ajsleepy:

I would like to draw a comic on this, but it's more of a narrative and the picture will show the opposite) I imagine how people will see a colorful comic strip where Discord and Fluttershy stroll through the forest and will be surprised as they'll start reading the Narration boxes on the panels. Not very good for advertising, not surprised why such a powerful work isn't so popular.

And second, unlike the idea in the book, there is too little hope. In the book, the description of the hero's immortal state is described succinctly enough so that we retain the sensations of intrigues and actions before it. We saw how the heroes suffered, but had the opportunity to do something. Here, I think it would be worthwhile to reduce the content after obtaining Fluttershy's immortality and perhaps choose another character altogether. I do not think that here the author's fault in working with the characters, but to fill the plot with more actions, except as one story line about Discord's relationship to Fluttershy, it would be much more painful at the end when hope fade.

Damn...super dark but I honestly liked it. Damn.

Didn't think that a MLP fanfiction would force me to read I have no mouth and I must scream

You did good

Not a fan of the title drop at the end, but that was pretty goddamned horrifying.

Absolutely brilliant. It would make him weep.

I'm so in love with the reference to one of the darkest stories in fiction.

This is absolutely horrific. One of the most depressing stories on the site.
I like it.
