Two old friends have lost all that they love, and are willing to kill each other to make things right!

The fate of Equestria hangs in the balance!

(My attempt at the worst written fic i could think of)

Today is an extra-special day for Discord. One he's been looking forward to all year. Or rather all day, since he had just learned about it previously from Fluttershy. A day that's all about him, all about his needs, his greatness, and how truly awesome he is. A day to feed his ego like the gluttonous pig it is.

Why, it's Discord's birthday of course!

What, you thought it was another type of celebration day? Please, don't be a fool.

Super amazing awesome cover art can be found here!

When Coco Pommel is summoned to Ponyville, she encounters the last thing she thought she'd ever see: a Rarity who has completely lost the passion for her profession.

Moved by Rarity's plight, Coco will do everything she can to bring the sparkle back to her friend. But will she, an almost complete outsider to Rarity's life, be enough?

The village had been perfect, free from the inequality and misery rampant throughout the rest of Equestria. Then Twilight Sparkle and her so-called friends arrived and ruined everything.

But all hope is not lost. Starlight Glimmer has a plan to restore her lost utopia on a much vaster scale.

After all, it's not like that purple princess was friends with anything worse.

Story contains spoilers for the Season 5 premiere, nonspecific allusions to torture, and nuts. Story does not contain Nikita Khruschev or shoes.

Fluttershy hears it. She hears it all the time.

Ponies always talk about Discord--they whisper about him, even when she and her friend are around them. Ugly, they say. They find him ugly! They think he's a beast!

It makes Fluttershy's heart ache. She's afraid their words are hurting Discord--that he may think he's ugly too, because of what they say.

So when she holds an event for pets in need of adoption, and the gossip starts again, can Fluttershy stand up for him?

And what in the world does Discord mean by "You'll figure it out"?!?

Oh, it's so good I've managed to catch you! Surely you will be able to help me out.

No, I haven't done anything wrong! I swear, what's with the lack of faith?

Anyway, I need you to sit down and listen carefully. I am not good enough at Friendship yet, so I need a specialist and I need one now!

It's hard saying goodbye to your home of many years.

Now with a Spanish translation by Spaniard Kiwi!

There is a place, deep within the attic of the omniverse, where everything connects. Predictably, that place sells drinks.

Discord goes there and has a chat with someone he never thought he ever would.

Birthday present for Skeeter the Lurker.
