Long story short...

Love hurts.

Also, I have no idea why I wrote this!

Five hundred years after the Discord's first defeat, a lone unicorn scientist makes an interesting discovery. Across Canterlot, over the last few centuries, accident rates have increased in the area around the Royal Palace. His work is ridiculed by his peers, but comes to the attention of the Princesses, who know exactly what is happening: Discord is waking up. With Luna and Celestia, he concocts a plan to stop the Lord of Chaos forever.

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.

Anon doesn't know how to feel about Chrysalis. Despite how close they have gotten, he doesn't know if it's reasonable to trust a changeling.

Though, through the thick of it, they are still together, fighting for what is there, for what they have. Love, companionship. It's hard to come by, especially if it's genuine. Could a changeling genuinely love someone, despite all their years of manipulation and heart break? Anon wishes to know.

Princess Luna is trying to find ways to remember the important ponies from her past, but is finding that it is difficult to maintain a perfect recall over the events of a long life.

Then Discord gives her something unexpected to think about.

Love isn't for him. The young dragon, surrounded by mares, know that none will become his one. Yet it's often when we stop chasing something that it comes to us. Twilight and Starlight pine for the same heart, devising a game for it to win it.

May the best mare win.

Ladyhood is a concept that Rarity knows well, so there's no better pony to teach Sweetie Belle the ropes when she comes of age.

Though, Sweetie had no idea that adulthood would be so scandalous.

Holy smokes, this got a live reading by StraightToThePointStudio, that's kind of POG.

In retrospect, maybe Celestia and Luna should have hired a plumber in the first place. It wasn't like threats bubbling under their seats of power was something new.

UPDATE: Eked out a featured. Thank you all for this.

WARNING: F.Y.I. (for your information), it's a V.F.D. (very fine day) for a D.I.Y. (do-it-yourself) project with C.a.L. (Celestia and Luna)

Celestia asks a stunned Twilight for help cutting her mane. Not surprisingly, things don't go exactly according to plan...

Set during season six.
