If the sirens had their way, they would have divided and conquered all of Equestria. But a certain Star Swirl the Bearded wasn't having it. Rumor has it he found a way to banish them to another world – one where he believed their magic power would be lost. That world must have been the one where my Canterlot High friends live.

But Star Swirl must have sent them there ages ago. How come they're just surfacin' now?

A cursory look at the sirens' thousand years of history in the human world before the events of Rainbow Rocks. With apologies to Kim Stanley Robinson.

Absolutely no connection to Death and the Dazzlings.

Celestia has always wondered why Twilight never replied to most of her letters. Fortunately Luna breaks the news 'gently'.

A rather silly idea that popped into my head this afternoon. I make no apologies.

Edit: As a few people pointed out, the title was really giving the story away; I've changed it on their (sound!) advice.

This story is a sequel to The Adventures of Schadenfreude

Schadenfreude, long known for his mischievous and generally dickish ways, has long been a thorn in the side of many a castle attendant.

Yet he has nowhere near as much experience in the field as a certain Spirit of Chaos.

And they are known to cross paths from time to time. Which, like any good friendship, had to start somewhere.

This story is a sequel to The Adventures of Schadenfreude

Once a week, Spike gets his friends together to play Ogres and Oubliettes. It's his favorite game. This time, he has DIscord, Big Macintosh, Shining Armor...

and Schadenfreude.

The bard.

This story is a sequel to The Adventures of Schadenfreude

Schadenfreude goes to get a pizza for Blueblood. It goes about as regularly as a fiberless diet.

(With a special guest! Kind of. It gets weird. You've been warned.)

This story is a sequel to The Adventures of Schadenfreude

Schadenfreude has nothing to do. He's bored. Bluey's gone for a few days, his friends are all busy, and, oh, Ponyville is on lockdown thanks to the apocalypse.

Really he just wants some froyo.

This story is a sequel to Schadenfreude HATES MAGIC

Schadenfreude has always played by the Rules of the Game. Break a rule on the list? Get a punishment. Break four? Well.

Twilight Sparkle, on the other hand, was new to the Game, although familiar with the players. Which she really should have thought about when she tricked Schadenfreude into violating multiple rules on the list at once.

So for Schadenfreude, it was a month of community service. For Twilight Sparkle? A trial by fire of working side by side with her new employee.

And the School of Friendship's newest substitute teacher.

This story is a sequel to Twilight Sparkle Accidentally Swaps the Librarian with an Orangutan

An Alicorn Princess has many duties, all of which are to serve the ponies and work for the betterment of Equestria. Sometimes, this means opening up talks to the most unlikely of potential allies.

The lives and people of Elder Gods matter, too, and how else are these matters to be resolved, except for a cosy chat over afternoon tea?

It goes about as well as you'd expect.

Note: While this is technically a sequel to "Twilight Accidentally Swaps the Librarian with an Orangutan", the events of that story are not required to understand this. Those events are more referenced than built off of.

Twilight Sparkle has a problem on her hooves. A very hairy problem, to boot. It is not every day that spells misfire, but when they do, the results are strange, to say the least. Turns out, Equestria isn't the only world with inherent magic, so swapping one citizen for another may not be as simple as she thought it'd be.

A one-shot Discworld crossover fic.
