*SEQUEL NOW OUT!* You can find it on my profile.

Twilight Sparkle has been sleeping more and more ever since her friends resealed Discord after he managed to escape from his stone imprisonment. Before he had been freed the second time, he was sending dreams to Twilight being romantic as the God of chaos possibly could be. He is able to charm her and make her fall in love with him.

Now that he's been resealed, Twilight has been sleeping so much just so she can see him again in her dreams. She is told by Nightmare Moon in her dreams (in the form of a riddle) that she can free Discord if she figures out the answer to the riddle. If she manages to break him free, what will her friends or family think about the two lovebirds being together? Could they become an out and about couple or would they have to stay secret lovers instead?

This is also my first FIM story, so please bear with me on this...

Deep in the Royal Canterlot Archives lies a book that hasn't seen the light of day for longer than any pony could remember. Its uncovering reveals powerful magic as old as the Princesses, and tells stories of heroes and villains long dead. Twilight will find that this book is much more than just an ark of ancient magic, it was meant to be found...

The mail mare... A pony not very well know to the inhabitants of ponyville, but that all changes when she goes to drop of a package at the local library.

Twilight Sparkle may believe in Pinkie Pie's myriad abilities, but when an opportunity to study them from a perspective she never thought possible arises, how can she resist the chance at the understanding she's always truly wanted? More importantly, can Ponyville survive the trade-off necessary for this opportunity?

Update: The story is edited into a proper read without many of the horrors I originally put into it. Enjoy the ride!

Deciding he could be given another chance, Luna and Celestia come to an agreement to release the Chaotic God from his rocky imprisonment, locking his powers with a powerful spell. Magicless and with a chance at redemption, Discord's ways seem less chaotic than ever.

He does cause a lot of chaos though, to the faithful student of Celestia, who had eagerly taken over the task of watching over and teaching Discord by giving him a home under her own roof, in the process hoping to learn more about his species, powers and motives but surprisingly learning much more about both himself and her head... Which puts her in pretty amusing situations most of the time.

An adventure of a silly one sided (???) love and a look into the heart of Twilight Sparkle.

On the night of her return from exile Nightmare Moon comes across resistance as she had expected. However she had a backup plan on hoof for just such a predicament, tearing off a small fraction of her soul and attaching it to the bearer of the element of magic. Now she must play the long game to ensure that she can obtain the loyalty of her new host and once more rise to power over Equestria.

The Summer Sun Celebration has gone off without a hitch, leaving Twilight embarrassed and confused. She is sent to remain in Ponyville to learn about friendship, the most powerful magic ever. However this task is interrupted by an unwanted guest. Not only is Twilight forced to put up with her new houseguest, she's starting to feel a change coming over her, taking over her mind. Can she resist the call of the night, or will she fall entirely into the grasp of Nightmare Moon?
