So it's official. In order to better serve his friends, Discord has given up chaos.

Completely.

Now if only the fate of Equestria didn't rest on him using chaos again.

Like in the next five minutes or so.

Looks like it's time for a chaos intervention. A reverse one.

An alternate excerpt from IWAM: True Love Never Dies (A story I hope I get to write).

Discord has always prepared himself for the worst. Outliving his loved ones was an easy fix, just pure immortality. A loved one stricken with an illness, a mere poof away. But death? No pony can prepare for death.

For Day Four (Tragic/Angst/Sad) of Fluttercord Week

This story is a sequel to The Republic

Sequel to The Republic.

After peace negotiations fail, the Lunar Republic falls back from Ponyville and into Appleoosa. Of the Mane Six, Luna's supporters decide to stay in Ponyville while Celestia unleashes the Royal Guard on the small town. The ensuing massacre leads to civil war, where Premier Luna uses her powers of state to build up an army to face Celestia's growing regime, the Solar Empire.

Through it all, Discord tries to protect Fluttershy from the brutality of the war by hiding the truth from her, and Twilight Sparkle begins a new religion recognizing Celestia as a divine being.

Sorry for the poor description.

When Canterlot pays the price for one of Twilight Sparkle's greatest mistakes, hundreds of refugees from the ruined city are stranded in Ponyville. Can the princesses maintain order in the overcrowded town, or will the combination of clashing cultures, Discord's antics, the machinations of a criminal mastermind, and outrageously bad luck send it spiraling into chaos?

On one of the most mundane of Mondays all year round, Ponyville is unexpectedly visited by a very familiar and yet very confused group of beloved friends from an alternate reality. What happens when "Twyla", a human teacher from Earth, comes face to face with herself in the form of Twilight Sparkle? Will the two facets of time-space fold upon one another or will these two almost identical groups of friends work together to overcome the strange set of circumstances that have followed these humans into Equestria?

The story of how the world was made and how Discord came to be.

Fluttershy and Discord are married, and are happily raising their baby. This week, they do all kinds of things, both fun and necessary around the house. Theirs is a home full of love and laughter, with cozy moments and affection, play and satisfying work.

*Takes place a bit after Keep Calm and Flutter On*

After she had successfully reformed Discord, Fluttershy decides that he needs more friends to keep him better occupied, and also to make sure he stays good. Of course that friend would have to be as energetic as him, have at least a couple things in common as far as likes go, and be willing to take any and all craziness he's willing to dish out. Naturally, the first name to come to mind was Pinkie Pie.

At first, to Fluttershy, things seem to be going over quite smoothly. Pinkie Pie and Discord are getting along swimmingly; Pinkie Pie and Discord are at agreement's, and Pinkie Pie always seems to keep him in check, and best of all, all three form a strong friendship with each other.

However, before Fluttershy can go to any of her other friends about the good news, Fluttershy discovers a little secret between the two, that she now has to keep. That is, if she wants all of her friendships to stay afloat.

((Roughly based off of a continuing RP between myself and KiaraKovu123 as well as the cover image, which was the last panel of the beautiful DisPie comic drawn by rrred on DA... Seriously... Check her stuff out. It's simply gorgeous, darling!))

It's been a few weeks since Luna's returned from the moon, and all is not well. She's become more introverted than ever, rarely leaving her room and obsessing over work. Celestia hopes that studying Twilight Sparkle's Friendship Reports will at least help her get out of her shell, though an unusually talkative servant may just help in that regard...and is anypony else getting strange feelings from that statue out in the gardens?

As of May 4th, now featured on Equestria Daily. *Squee*

Today is an extra-special day for Discord. One he's been looking forward to all year. Or rather all day, since he had just learned about it previously from Fluttershy. A day that's all about him, all about his needs, his greatness, and how truly awesome he is. A day to feed his ego like the gluttonous pig it is.

Why, it's Discord's birthday of course!

What, you thought it was another type of celebration day? Please, don't be a fool.
