This story is a sequel to Discord Teaches Philosophy

Warning: The following is currently unedited and contains a significant amount of Philosophy.

After deciding on taking up the role of a Substitute and finding out that the main Philosophy teacher is boring his students, Discord decides to step in to take up the responsibility of teaching. And he will do it by teaching it in plain Equestrian, in a way that these young students would understand. As well as in his own unique way.

Lesson Plan (in no particular order):

Socrates: His Method and How We Ought to Live ✅

Plato: Allegory of the Cave ✅

Marcus Aurelius: How Stoicism Deals with Hardships ✅

Confucius: Who is Ruling Whom? ✅

Kintsugi: The Art of Imperfection ✅

Machiavelli: In Defense of the Prince ✅

Montaigne: Usefulness of Humility ✅

Rousseau: Of Savages and Civilization ✅

Kierkegaard: Subjectivity and Truth ✅

Nietzsche: Of Suffering and Happiness ✅

In this one-shot idea, Fluttershy asks her friend Discord if he would be interested in taking up the job as a teacher at the new School of Friendship. Discord agrees to teach them something if he were given a chance to test-drive it by having a few students to see if he would take up the job. What follows is a lesson on the meditations of Reniegh Haycartes.

A special thank you to DuskHeart13, The Hat Man and SashimiPony for taking the time of proofreading this.

Note: this and its sequels were written before "Matter of Principles."

For Princess Luna, guarding the dreaming minds of Equestria against intruders is no easy task, even on the best of nights. When the Cutie Mark Crusaders get involved, it is definitely not the best of nights.

Many thanks to Sharp Spark for help with editing and all around good advice.

Now what do you do?

When you've been gone for more than a thousand years, you have a lot to catch up on. You may even owe a ton of apologies. Heroes old and new must deal with the consequences of their choices, each in their own ways.

And before they settle down in the new realm, the Pillars will become acquainted with the Spirit of Chaos himself.

After Trixie threw Starlight Glimmer's plant, Phyllis, into a trash can, Starlight and some of her friends struggle to restart Phyllis's "heart". Princess Twilight Sparkle would go as far as to risk Equestria's existence to save Phyllis's life.

Will Phyllis be saved? Or will there be a plant funeral?

And will Trixie's heart survive the sheer ridiculousness of the "crisis"?

Happens immediately after the season 9 episode "A Horse-Shoe In".

Last but definitely not least, special thanks to flutterJackdash for helping me edit this story.

A magician never reveals her secrets. The Great and Powerful Trixie just happens to have a few more secrets than most magicians. For example, she’s actually a princess of Transylmaneia. And she may or may not have doomed Equestria to eternal night. That's not even the biggest secret, either.

"We're the same! Get it? The same!"

Twilight Sparkle is really getting into the habit of reforming the villains she goes up against rather than just defeating them. This tactic isn't necessarily a bad thing of course: in fact, it's kind of great! But eventually one would think that all of these former bad guys would want to start getting to know each other a little better--or at least that's what Discord thinks should happen. So one day just after the time-travelling escapade, as Starlight walks through Ponyville with Twilight, she suddenly finds herself teleported away to a big surprise courtesy of the chaos master. And she's not the only one...

Prepare for cameos and shenanigans!

And now with a sequel! We're The Same Too!: Rise of the Cameos!

This story is a sequel to We're the Same!

Behind the scenes of season 6, the Organization of Reformed Evil Villains (OOREV) has been going strong! The club's been meeting regularly in their new location at President Discord's chaos cottage and they've managed to keep their club a secret still...even if their club discussion does get off topic sometimes...or a lot.

(Of course, Celestia's now very curious about Luna's whereabouts during the evenings she sneaks off, and the sun princess is also worried that Discord's mad at her for some reason because he hasn't been around to prank her lately, but all that's a potential source of fun misunderstandings that we'll tackle later).

So with OOREV going so well Discord decides to add to the fun by decreeing the next meeting has a 'Share the Reform' theme. Everyone must bring a guest who has been villainous in the past! Clearly this is a good idea that could lead to no weird/awkward/unexpected consequences.

Oh, the shenanigans there will be...

Prologue and Second Part take place between S6 finale and S7 premiere.

This story is a sequel to We're the Same Too!: Rise of the Cameos!

The events leading into Season 9 have been filled with both tragedy and triumph, which has been great for adding to OOREV's member list! So many new faces abound in the club, all seeking friendship and a safe space to share their stories of growth. OOREV and Discord's presidency have thrived and finally led to the One Year Anniversary Celebration Extravaganza: a big bash thrown in Discord's cottage and hosted by the chaos master himself!

Unfortunately, a surprise OOLLA meeting called by Celestia in Canterlot reveals that Starswirl the Bearded has been tracking some strange magical shifts in Equestria that lead him to believe a group of powerful creatures are gathering...and he also senses evil.

What else can Discord do but tag along with Celestia and Starswirl in a desperate attempt to prevent the exposure of OOREV? (And also to butt horns with the old wizard who is clearly having the audacity to suggest Discord's secret club is evil...right?)

Meanwhile, Luna holds down the fort at the party...and makes a new friend.

Final installment for the 'We're the Same!' series! FABULOUS cover art is 'Reformed Villains Snack Shenanigans' by Doodle-Mark used with permission!

When Trixie's brand new wagon breaks down in the middle of Hoofington, she finds herself unable to repair her broken wheel herself. So she decides to call upon Equestrian Roadside Assistance for help.

It will be a decision she is doomed to regret as she is forced to confront automatic voice directories, unhelpful operators, intolerable hold times, lovecraftian madness, gastrointestinal distress, and moronic protocol.

Trixie will never leave Hoofington with her sanity intact.
