After overhearing a rumor that his friendship with Fluttershy means stallions are too afraid to date her, Discord swears that he will find her the perfect mate. Unfortunately Discord has absolutely no idea what a pony wants in their special somepony. Happily, he has many pony friends now that he can ask for advice, but no matter how much advice he gets, nothing seems to go according to plan.

This is somewhat outside my usual comfort zone, I don't write a lot of comedy and I don't write a lot of Discord, but I had fun doing it, so hopefully you will have fun reading it.

Update: There is a NSFW "deleted scene" from this story in my new clop shortfics collection, Quickies. Feel free to check it out if you're into that.

As the sun sets, and being unable to sleep, Fluttershy attempts to dissect her relationship with her best friend. Though her feelings are clear, Discord's outlandish personality makes her question if he even reciprocates those desires.

Things only get more complicated as the night progresses.

(Fluttercord fluff)

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.

Rumor has it that if a pony says Discord's name five times in front of a mirror, he's forced to appear there.

So who thought something like that could actually be true?

As well as annoying.

On the surface, it's an ordinary meeting between friends. Fluttershy and the former Princess Celestia are friends, aren't they? How could they not be?

And because they're friends, Fluttershy has something very important to discuss with the former leader of Equestria. Very important and very personal. It involves fears, doubts, and the romantic life of the creature who was once Equestria's greatest threat...

A little idea that popped into my head and simply would not go away until I put it down on paper.

Special thanks to Rubycast and Swirling Line for pre-reading.

Upon learning about the magical plant Kisstletoe and Fluttershy's fondness for the tale of finding a soulmate, Discord gets an idea for the perfect Hearth's Waring gift for her. He'll find her soulmate!

What could possibly go wrong?

Princess Celestia is in love and about to marry her fiance: Discord. Hopefully things will turn out normally. Hopefully.

A collab with The Princess Rarity

Discord has been away for a couple of months due to some royal duties from Celestia. Cause of this he hasn't seen Fluttershy for quite a while. Now that he has some free time might as well catch up.

Fluttershy hears it. She hears it all the time.

Ponies always talk about Discord--they whisper about him, even when she and her friend are around them. Ugly, they say. They find him ugly! They think he's a beast!

It makes Fluttershy's heart ache. She's afraid their words are hurting Discord--that he may think he's ugly too, because of what they say.

So when she holds an event for pets in need of adoption, and the gossip starts again, can Fluttershy stand up for him?

And what in the world does Discord mean by "You'll figure it out"?!?

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.
