Set immediately following the events of The Beginning of the End, Grogar resurrects Sombra again, and the Shadow King offers a plan that may doom the ponies once and for all: ponynap Fluttershy. In exchange for a promise of her survival, Discord vanishes, and the broken Mane 6 must face the fall of Equestria without either of them. Will friendship prevail? Will love?

A Fluttercord tale.

*Sex tag for certain allusions, though nothing is explicit.

Long ago, before the Elements of Harmony saved Equestria more times than most ponies could count, two unlikely friends wandered the land. One was a donkey searching for a long-lost love, the other a gigantic sea serpent with a taste for grooming. Together, they forged trails not even the bravest explorers dared traverse and learned secrets long forgotten by modern ponies.

One fateful day, the two came to a lonely town on the Equestrian plains. "Windvane", the serpent called it. The signs promised a one-of-a-kind spa and quaint sabbatical from their journey, away from the heartaches and pains of the past.

But not all promises are kept, and the two friends soon found nothing could be the same ever again.

Takes place before Season 1.

Twilight's cousin: Ice Shard from Canterlot comes to visit, & Twilight buys her a DVD to watch, but then strange things start to happen.

Butter Bloom is a special case. Born with severe cerebral palsy, his mind is nonetheless clear enough to understand the deeper, more mature thoughts of ambition. He longs to become more than a cripple. He thirsts for the chance to grow.

One evening in his medical ward, a visitor comes. It is darkness. It is evil. And it is exactly what Butter Bloom needed.

Sometimes, running is a very efficient method not to run out of time. And Twilight certainly has every interest in making sure she doesn't run out of time, and therefore in doing things as efficiently as possible. She wouldn't want to be late, after all.

Adopted from infancy, Equestria is the only world Flash Skies has ever known and loved. A beautiful world filled with adventure, love, and awesome friends, life is good. But when you're the only member of your species in an alien world, eventually you want to find out where you came from and if there are others like you. With the help of his friends, he finds his way back to Earth, but will he like what he finds? He may discover more than he bargained for, and an enemy that's been waiting for him to come home.

"Alright what even is this? Why hasn't this been featured, and why are there so few upvotes? I almost passed it by and I expected to drop it immediately due to low quality. But, nope it’s the best human raised by equestrians I’ve read this far." -A Predatorial Horse

"This was a fantastic read that I just happened to come across randomly.
This is a unique approach that is a breath of fresh air. In a sea of mostly silly stories, you're creating something that seems more real than most. Thank you for your work on this take, and I will be looking forward to seeing this story through!" -Chillean

"GREAT STORY!
It's rare for me to come across a good human in Equestria story that feels organic and not forced.
Too bad it's over. Now I've gotta wait years for the sequel to be done before I can read it." -Mocha Star

"Upside to reading at work: quality entertainment while waiting for the day to end.
Downside to reading at work: when said quality entertainment legitimately makes me cry in empathy." -Striving for Harmony

A non-spoiler review to whet your appetite!

Scarlet Frost has had more than enough death and violence in her life and has spent the last several years living quietly as a librarian and scholar in the New Equestrian city of Swanrun. Sadly, it seems that death and violence are not yet done with her, as she is about to discover.

After a chance encounter, Scarlet is forced to leave her home and flee for her life alongside a mysterious orphan filly named Primrose. Now being hunted across the land she once went to war for, Scarlet will have to use every resource at her disposal just to stay alive. And if she is going to make it through this, she must confront the ghosts of not only her own past, but those of this long-broken world as well.

A special thank you goes out to my editors, Mister Hypothetical and Chromio!

Now with a reading over on YouTube!

The sex tag is for occasional blunt discussions on the subject matter and implied sexual behaviors between consenting adults.

Golden Remedy, a young field medic with Canterlot's Rescue Division, is sent on her first assignment to the small town of Sunny Springs. Remy's first mission goes horribly wrong upon entering an abandoned plantation deep within the Sunny Springs Forest. Within she finds things that were never meant to be. She heard stories of monsters as a filly, but never thought they were real.

Thanks TotallyNotCelly for proof reading all my works! You the best!

Due to an unusual lapse in communication, Twilight and Rainbow Dash travel to Canterlot only to discover something sinister may be unfolding within the castle walls. A mysterious horror awaits. Something different. Comments always welcomed and appreciated.

This story is a sequel to Avatar: Legend of Diamond Tiara. Book 1: Harmony

Silver Spoon has embraced her role as the Avatar of Discord and Diamond has fallen... or so it seems. Is all hope truly lost? As the world of ponies and spirits begin to mix and ponies rise up to, once again, fight off the power of Discord, more questions arise and the true roles and destiny of the Avatar begins to take hold. Will this be the true end of Harmony, or just the beginning of a new world entirely? The final book in the Avatar series and the culmination of years of work, plotting and scheming awaits.
