This story is a sequel to If Chaos prevails...

Many titles are spoken before the name of Discord, King of Equestria. They are memories of the lands he conquered, of the enemies he slew, and of the many accomplishments of his thousand years of reign. He loves to hear them, one by one, as they manage to inflate his ego every single time. But there is one exception. Every time he hears the words "Saviour of Saddle Arabia", every time the royalty of that country thanks him for his deeds, he cringes. Because he knows very well that it is the only title he doesn't deserve.

This is a story that won't be found in the history books he wrote, or in the classes that are thaught in Equestria. This is a story that not even the resistance, who remembers the true history of Equestria, has ever managed to unravel. This is the story of one the many sins of the lord of Chaos, but also of one of his few regrets.

This story is a prequel to 'If Chaos prevails'. It is not necessary to read it to enjoy this one, and it is not necessary to read this to enjoy 'If Chaos prevails'. I just want to expand a bit the lore of 'If Chaos prevails', to give some more depth to the characters... And ultimately just tell an enjoyable story!

This story is based on S1/S2 (Discord was never released and reformed) and sits within my Soot-Covered World canon, but is stand-alone. No knowledge of the other books is required.

All thanks to ascendant, NoeCarrier, turol, KMCA, Caliaponia and billymorph for their prereading and editing over the life of this story.

This story is about Discord and his impact on everypony... until one day chaos strikes upon himself and he is left behind on his own, having nopony to guide his way, as he struggles keep going.

This story is inspired by "Bride of Discord" ... taking place between part 1 and 2, but its NO official pre-sequel or anything! Just ... fan stuff (of fan stuff):) Have fun! *kisses*

Note: ~ this is an old story of mine, first published on Dec 25, 2014 at Fanfiction.net
However, this version is more polished, since the 'other system' hardly allows for changes...
(about violence tag: do not worry, it's not the focus! It's quite 'show' levels for the most part :)

"And here you'll see the statue of the Lord of Chaos, Discord, imprisoned in stone..."

Review by Rosie Sievers and Eagle Tale

Diamond Tiara enters the Running of the Leaves. She wants Rainbow Dash to coach her. She gets Discord instead.

Set a year or two after the main series, but contains no spoilers. An entry to the Season 10 Bingo Contest. Prompt is in the author's note at the end.

Big thanks to RCharge for editing and Gingerquill for a pre-read!

Awarded a "Judge's Choice" in the contest! Hype!

Out Of The Running really expands on The Running Of The Leaves... Add that with kirin beginning to mingle in Ponyville, Diamond Tiara wanting to run, a drought, and Discord, and you have a winning formula... Overall, I absolutely adored this story and I'm glad that it was entered in this contest.

Lyra thinks Discord is an idiot for not thinking to dodge when the Elements of Harmony were about to strike him. Discord thinks this is the perfect opportunity for a game.

Part of the Borderworld.

Now with audio reading by Dreamless Portal. Chinese and Spanish translations also available.

Fluttershy and Discord have been through a lot, in their friendship and their romance. But finally, they're married, and things can settle down now...right?

Fluttershy should have known that things aren't that easy when Discord's involved.

A collection of random, fluffy drabbles. Not much of a plot here.

Amazing cover art made by Eveeka!
