Mystery. Love. Magic. Murder. Truth. These are all important elements in the murder mystery Fluttershy has written, and is now asking Twilight to read. But the novel stars 'Twilight Sparkle', and she wrestles with the metafictional dissonance involved in reading a novel about herself and her friends. Twilight must do her best to solve the mystery, reconcile her own feelings about this ordeal, and figure out just what Fluttershy is trying to say by writing all of this in the first place as the lines between fiction and reality begin to blur.

This is a thematic crossover with the visual novel 'Umineko No Naku Koro Ni.' No prior knowledge of Umineko should be necessary.

When Twilight Sparkle was just a kid, her best friend was a girl named Sunset Shimmer. Though their friendship had a bit of a rocky start, they quickly became inseparable, no matter how much everyone thought of them as ‘weird’. They were there for each other.

Were.

Years after the tragic accident that tore them apart, Twilight is determined to move on from her loss, and she sets off on an independent research project to investigate the strange happenings at Canterlot High. Little does she know that she will soon come face to face with what appears to be a literal ghost from her past.

This story is a sequel to Detente

Discord takes Fluttershy to see something chaotic he's made that he thinks will be considered harmless and beautiful -- rain made out of light. Fluttershy agrees, but fears that ponies won't accept it anyway. They discuss friendship, and Fluttershy comes to some unwanted conclusions regarding her own feelings. One-sided, mild Fluttercord.

This story is the bridge between Princess Twilight Sparkle Endcaps and Elements of Opposition. To those who have not read the story before, and who like happy endings: don't read the second chapter. It leads directly into Elements of Opposition, and is the main reason the story has a "Sad" tag.

Edited to add cover art. Woo-hoo! The artwork for the cover comes from the wonderful C-Puff, goddess of adorable Fluttershy & Discord friendshipping. :-)

In the dark forests of Tramplevania dwells a coven of vampires, led by a deadly draconequus named Discord. For many years, his only interests have been in his own survival, until he stumbles upon a beautiful mare with a heart pure enough to care for a monster like him.

Music to listen to.

AJ Pony's review

Tirek continued to laugh, mocking him, mocking them, and Discord felt an anger like no other burn him up deep inside. He shook with rage and just focused his gaze on the ponies and the little dragon in the cage. Blue eyes met crimson and that's when a yowl tore from Discord's throat.

What if the battle with Tirek had a different outcome, that nopony in Equestria could have predicted in their wildest dreams?

(Warning: Character death)

Whilst on her own, Scootaloo decides to help Fluttershy tend to her animals in the hopes of getting an 'animal helper' cutie mark.

But things take a turn for the worse when Fluttershy's chickens simply won't leave her alone, believing Scootaloo to be the re-incarneted chicken goddess.

Inspired by the cover art done by the awesome King-Kakapo, go show him some love here and there.

Thank you to my pre-reader DVAN56 and my editors Draconian Soul and Vexy, go check out some of their stories!

Discord has the post gala blues, and he ends up on Rarity's couch, bawling, eating ice cream and pouring his heart out about Fluttershy. Poor Rarity.

Dedicated to my friend Topher, who is going through a hard time. Hope this makes her laugh.

EDIT: changed title from Recovery to Healing

Ever since the Tirek incident Fluttershy has just gotten worse and worse. She's grown depressed and keeps her feelings pent-up inside, barely leaving her cottage. But this proves to be too much for her and after one stray thought, everything that's been piling up inside spills out.
When Discord sees just how much he's hurt her, he takes it upon himself to heal all the damage he's caused.
The process will be long and slow, but he needs to be there for her and assure her nothing like that will ever happen again; he needs to prove just how much she means to him.

After overhearing Fluttershy talk about her crush, Discord makes it his goal to find out who this pony is.

A silly little Fluttercord one-shot

Discord is attacked by a mysterious pony with frightening power. He is left in the woods young and frightened. Fluttershy finds the infant Draconequus and takes him in. Fluttershy cares for Discord, and Discord comes to love the pegasus. When Twilight finds a new threat and alerts the Elements, Fluttershy realizes that it is the same mysterious pony who deaged Discord. Can they get Discord back to normal? And until they do, how bad can raising the Lord of Chaos possibly be?
