After the Changeling invasion, Celestia and Luna make the decision to have Twilight investigate the Elements of Harmony and solve the mystery of their power.

A thousand years later, Rainbow Dash awakens in a world she does not recognize. She has no idea how or why she came to be there. She does not know the language, the geography or any of the rules of this new time. She soon finds allies in Star Fall, a scholarly pegasus whose Talent is Magic, and Astrid, Star Fall's Griffin guardian. Together they set out to discover why Dash has been sent to the future, and how she might return to when she belongs.

War threatens the nations, a Nightmare stalks the shadows, and Rainbow Dash's arrival has turned her into a wild card in a deadly game that pits the law on both sides of a broken Equestria against a mysterious criminal figure, Max Cash. Yet the stakes are higher than anyone knows, for in her research Twilight Sparkle discovered a dark secret about the Elements, something that will shake the foundations of the world.

One evening, when Celestia is brooding over current issues that are troubling her, ultimately feeling stressed, Discord takes her by the hoof and reminds her that life isn't all about work and order. Every now and again, you need to have a little fun, by dancing on a few clouds or running through the rain. Spontaneity may make an alicorn of order hesitant, but once giving it a chance, Celestia comes to find that it can liven up your world in a new and wonderful way.

Discord's the only creature in Equestria who can recognize the human for what he is -- not the long-lost Seventh Element that never actually existed and couldn't have existed before the human arrived, but a meta-reality warper, an entity far more powerful than Discord with the power to warp the minds of all around him and the very rules of magic to make sure that he's always the Big Hero. And the role the human's assigned to Discord is the Villain to beat down or kill.

Pre-reform Discord's fine with being the villain. But on his own terms. Not dancing on some alien interloper's puppet strings.

Without friendship, or even allies, Discord's going to have to find a way to defeat a creature who can alter fate itself and who can even mind-control him. Or he may just end up worse than dead.

Trigger warnings: Mind control (magically induced love, magically induced friendship, magically induced stupidity, Discord being Discord), noncon/dubcon (magically induced love, other forms of highly dubious consent), rape (female on male), violence/gore (mostly against Discord), literally everything in chapters 19-21, humans not being presented as unilaterally wonderful and superior to ponies and/or draconequui.

This story is a sequel to Discord's First, Last and Only Friendship Report

Set in my "Next of Kin to Chaos" series, but no Star Trek knowledge is needed for this story. More or less direct sequel to "Discord's First, Last and Only Friendship Report", but not humor. Celestia summons Discord to explain himself regarding his ridiculous "friendship report", but the conversation quickly diverges. Discord wants to know what Celestia wanted to reform him for, and what he's expected to do. And Celestia wants to know why he decided to reform.

A page for this series now exists: Next of Kin to Chaos

Edited to add: The marvelous zabchan drew me this lovely cover art! Thank you!

Discord has a problem. He has a tendency to not think through his actions all that well, poor impulse control, and no ability to figure out how others will feel about what he does. Even with a friend helping him, sooner or later he's going to do something that'll get him stoned or hit with a reforming spell or whatnot. So what's he to do? Ask the smartest pony in Equestria for a solution, of course!

He probably wasn't expecting to get "Have Celestia let you rule Equestria again" for a response.

No one else was probably expecting to enjoy it.

Now with a reading by Crafty Arts!
And a Spanish translation!

Meet Prince Solaris, or "Diddy" as his father calls him. The child of Princess Celestia and Discord, a grand destiny awaits the young boy, one that will one day shape all of Equestria. A villainous agent of destruction...a shining paragon of justice...who can say?

For now, he will simply be known as the Troublemaker, That Child, the Bane of Galas, and My Sunshine...

This is a story about the last two designation, a story about a mother and her child and their bond.

A story about a certain Gala's aftermath.

Destiny moves us all, and for Celestia, it moved her down a single path: to bring order to the world. It was this purpose for existing that had been made known to her from the moment of her creation, and when she descended to Equestria, it was that mission which defined her entire being. So when faced with an offer from her homeland to exchange her free will for a thousand years of peace and order, the choice should have been easy.

Unfortunately, falling in love with a spirit of chaos was never part of the plan.

Thank you as always to jszellmer for the edits.

Thank you to KarmaDash for the idea bouncing along with Shrapmo as well.

Finally thank you mcwhale4 for the great cover art!

Also, here is what Auction has been like for Jake and Cap
Enjoy!

Eight years. For eight years we have been left to rot in this prison. Our reputations ruined, we were just as well off here in this festering hell-hole as we would have been out there in a country that now despised us. All hope seemed lost until one day, an emissary from a foreign land gave us a chance to exact our revenge on those who had put us here. Rainbow Dash and Macintosh Apple will pay for what they did to us. Mark my words, dear brother.

The third and final installment of the Rainbow X Mac series.
