Searching for a safe haven and peace of mind far away from the rising capital of Equestria and her sister, Luna's heart drifts away as she finds herself longing for a life that wasn't truly hers.

But as pleasant and comforting as that life seemed, just like a flame under the northern winds, it also was brief.

When unattended day to day matters are left for two former villains to handle, one of them being a power-hungry unicorn and the other an insane incarnation of chaos, things are bound to catastrophe from the start. Despite their bonds, feelings tend to speak louder than reason as the cycle of craziness continues; will Discord and Starlight be able to put down their weapons and see eye to eye before it’s too late for the School of Friendship?
Spike desperately wishes they do also for the sake of everyone’s health and sanity as they’re caught in the wake of their clash.

Set in the Starverse AU, this story is a rewriting of episode 14 from season 8, a matter of principals.
