Fluttershy doesn't worry too much about the strange things happening to her. Coughing up a few petals can't hurt anypony, can it? Hiding an unrequited love won't kill you...will it?

Inside a stone statue at the far end of the castle's gardens sits Discord; imprisoned for a thousand years since Celestia and Luna defeated him in combat, he awaits the moment when he will be free and he can have his revenge! Until then, he has to listen to the shenanigans taking place at the annual Grand Galloping Gala. Perhaps the pink and yellow pony who has wandered into the garden looking to make friends with some exotic animals will provide some momentary amusement?

Discord, the lord of chaos, former spirit of disharmony and agent of misery for ponykind. Ageless being with unlimited powers that nopony can hope to match.
When Sombra aimed his spell at Fluttershy, Discord had a split-decision to make. Take the spell head-on or let his dearest friend suffer serious injury if not death.
He didn't know how bad the spell would affect him or how much it would hurt, but he knew there was no choice.
He jumped.

A being that exists to perpetuate chaos. A creature that only knows how to destroy order and peace, tearing itself, and everything around it to pieces. A Draconequus is disorder, violence, and death.
As a child, Discord must confront this definition, and come to terms with it his own way.

[SPOILER WARNING: This story is set after the events of Season 9, Episodes 24 and 25. Because of that, there are mentions of various things that would require watching the whole season for context. Reader Discretion is Advised.]

After the massive climactic end to the Legion of Doom, Discord knew that his well-intentioned actions had to be rectified in a big way. And since he was directly involved in some of Equestria's most recent events, he already knew who to apologize to first: The Crystal Empire's leaders - Princess Cadance, and Prince Consort Shining Armor.

Even though the couple were already aware of Discord's contributions -- more specifically, how he was the one who revived King Sombra to attack their Empire months prior -- the two were willing to hear him out after he made a formal request for a counsel. Fortunately for them, the remorseful draconequus came prepared with a sincere apology, as well as a couple of thoughtful gifts for the Crystal Empire.
Unfortunately for Shining and Cadance, one of those gifts may have not been nearly as considerate as either of them would've preferred.

How would a being like Discord want to be remembered after he's gone? Well, if you're curious, he did actually write a will. To the surprise of nobody, its contents are bizarre and mildly disturbing.

Part of the Borderworld.

Now with audio readings by NDLMongoose and MelancholyIguana.

Based on Rumpelstiltskin. Fluttershy, a humble miller's daughter is summoned to the castle to meet a king that's crude to everyone around him. Can this mare's golden heart help him change his ways?

Ogres and Oubliettes, only the greatest game in the history of games, at least in Discord's oppinion, and tonight he gets to be the Game Master of his very own campaign. What he wasnt expecting was the extra players Spike invited along for the ride. How will Discord react knowing Spike invited Fluttershy to join the campaign.

Fluttershy finds herself haunted by a measly word when she gets lost in the middle of her favorite woods. That word was 'draconequus' and after she finds a hurt one, she tries her hardest to help him. A friendship Fluttershy cherishes almost more than her other friendships blossoms, and she doesn't know how anything could go wrong.
Except maybe her Princess friend from a pony world saying there's a magical imbalance on the same day Discord decides he's too bored without Fluttershy around and turns himself into a human so he can attend her school.

Spike has a secret hobby...shipping Fluttershy and Discord. Discord, fortunately, doesn't know just how much. But what happens when Spikes secret is revealed during Guy's Night?
