No one said reforming would be easy, and when your only friend is constantly too busy to be with you, it's a lonely challenge as well. For Discord, his speck of light is found in a young colt whose going through the same ordeal of trying to fit into a society where he doesn't belong, as the two learn they're more alike than they realize and find the comfort they need in each other.

After the events of "Broken Spirit", things couldn't be better as everything is once again in perfect harmony, and Equestria has gained a new guardian. When things first begin to affect the land, nopony pays much attention until utter destruction begins to take hold, particularly on Equestria and the realm of Disarray. The rulers of the lands find themselves powerless and desperately seeking the source of the madness, unaware of the darkness they will find in the truth.

Now Discord, the princesses, and the six must team up with an old foe to find answers, and fast. As secrets are revealed, the realms suddenly find themselves launched in a war against the threat, and in the midst of the journey, Discord finds himself becoming more acquainted with his background than he'd like to be, as questions are answered. Is he really the product of demons? And what was his life before he ended up in the care of Aegeus and Astraia?

Post "Keep Calm And Flutter On"; Redemption isn't as easy as one thinks, especially when your life has been nothing but pain and loneliness and neglect for as long as you can remember. When you're a creature of chaos you're prone to easily relapse, but not if the ones that support you say differently.

No shipping except for possible Dislestia in later chapters.

Celestia and Discord were the rulers of Equestria, King and Queen, and husband and wife, but there was a common misconception about the two of them. Just based off many meetings and audiences, both appeared to be very democrat and civil. They never ignited a conflict, but merely solved it with dignity and grace.

However, that never left the royal court.

Beyond royal regiments they needed to adhere to, the two were far from civil when they were with each other at times. And they. Could. Fight.

Set in "Distorted Worlds" pre-events, soon after marriage.

Discord has been preparing to make Fluttershy a special gift for several weeks, but when it comes time to present it, is it going to be what he hoped? Not shipping.

Based off "Broken Spirit" and not "Keep Calm And Flutter On" (as amazing as that episode was)

A role play with my friend Miccha.
