Lady Fluttershy meets Sir Big Macintosh, a knight known through many kingdoms for his strength and bravery. Many ponies think the two of them would be a wonderful match...but she has doubts.

But Discord, the Chaos Lord, suddenly offers her a surprising deal—he'll fake her kidnapping, and let her watch the resulting battle between him and the knight so she may see his true colors. She warily accepts...but this deal has consequences neither of them see coming.

Day One of #FluttercordWeek

It's Hearth's Warming Eve and Fluttershy's gift from Aunt Luna is a nutcracker. Her aunt tells her that he is under a curse, cast by an evil monster called the Chaos King.

She doesn't believe her until night falls and the Chaos King comes with his army. Shrunk in the battle, Fluttershy must venture with the nutcracker into the Land of Sweets to defeat the Chaos King and break his evil spells.

Review by Rosie Sievers and Eagle Tale

After his betrayal, Discord was sentenced to ten years in stone, with four parole periods a year, on holidays. He was also given a holiday to celebrate Chaos, which is his first parole period of the year. Over the course of a year, the Mane 6 and Discord will celebrate Topsy Turvy Day, the Summer Sun Celebration, Nightmare Night, and Hearth's Warming.

Established Fluttercord; I don't yet know if there are any other shippings. Spike is off learning to be an ambassador to the dragons, so he's not around at the moment.

Discord reflects on his new, reformed life with Fluttershy and her furry friends. He's not really sure what to make of it all, or how to feel about the fact that he might be... settling down? All he knows is that Fluttershy is worth a little order among the chaos that is his existence. Not that he'd ever slack in his duties as the God of Chaos! He has standards, after all.

Discord isn't really surprised that Fluttershy doesn't participate in Prank Day, but he's determined to fix that. Ponyville will never be the same.

Her house is in the northeast section of Ponyville, near the Whitetail Woods, and she is not married. She takes care of dozens of animals, both pets and wild critters, and she gets home every day by 8 PM at the latest. She is always in bed by 11 PM, and makes sure to get eight hours of sleep, no matter what. After having a glass of warm milk and doing about twenty minutes of stretches before going to bed, she usually has no problems sleeping until morning. Just like a foal, she wakes up without any fatigue or stress in the morning.

Fluttershy is a pony who wishes to live a very quiet life. She takes care of others with simple needs and makes sure that they're content, living vicariously through their own joy. That is how she deals with society, and she knows that is what brings her happiness.

Although, if she were to fight she wouldn't lose to anypony.

This story is an entry in Aragon's Comedy (is Serious Business) contest, with the prompt "We Learned Something, Unfortunately".

When Fluttershy and her friends come back from their mis-led adventure conducted by the Master of Chaos as well as her best friend, Fluttershy decides that maybe now should be the time to have a talk with the draconequus. Realizing that there are things that even she doesn't know about Discord, Fluttershy comes to the conclusion that it's always better to be open about your feelings...no matter what.

Ahh, I'm sorry! I didn't mean to include fluttercord at the end but I couldn't help it

Chrysalis has come up with a foolproof plan to take over Equestria, by creating evil versions of her greatest adversaries! The only problem is, Discord already did it... and he's about to tell her so. Based on the latest episode 'The Mean Six'.

Spoilers, of course.

Featured from June 10-11. A certifiable fact.

Live Reading by Dr. Wolf.

Tirek has finally been defeated.

Left powerless after being blasted to Tartarus, Tirek now has the rest of eternity to wallow in his defeat in the deep, dark, silent recesses of the planet...or at least that's what he HOPED would happen.

His 'friend' Discord decides to take advantage of visiting hours and has a riddle for the demon centaur, the answer to which may be the key to his freedom...or just Discord messing with his head. It's hard to tell.

Warning! Spoilers for "Keep Calm and Flutter On!"

Fluttershy managed to do the impossible. She's befriended Discord, the Spirit of Chaos, former evil overlord of Equestria and taught him that friendship is magic. However, in the aftermath of all this, the master of confusion finds himself completely baffled by one thing. One question that in his entire life he'd never desired to have an answer to; why? Why after so many eons, was friendship important to him?
