This story is a sequel to From Your Most Grateful Admirer

Tirek and Discord's past has been entwined since before the two met on the streets of Manehattan. In fact, Tirek once knew Discord as the pony he hated most, the one that he believed to be the cause of his fall. That isn't the only connection they have though; something is coming to Equestria which both Discord and Tirek know all too well, and in preparation for its arrival, Discord has decided to make some special provisions, and have some fun along the way.

Revenge is sweetest when you can get it without feeling the slightest bit bad about it, and what better way to get his revenge on Tirek than this? Some forced existential alteration will cause some wonderful chaos and help him prepare for the coming danger.

He just hopes it isn't too late to save Equestria.

Charis is an earth pony philosopher with no cutie mark who has a desire to see the world through a perspective other than her own. She keeps pestering Discord to become his student, much to Discord's annoyance. Every day she asks, and every day, he says "no."

Until one day, he changes his mind and takes on a magic-less earth pony as his protege. Now that he has relented, the draconequus is delighted with his student, realising something has been missing in his life.

Discord, now reformed, now has the Princesses watching him, waiting for him to corrupt the innocent earth pony filly.

Eventually, he does something far worse.

A side story to We Three Alicorns.

Fluttershy may be the best foal-sitter in all of Equestria. Everypony knows this, and Discord knows this as well. So, Discord offers to help her animal care service by paying for foalsitting.

Of course, the foals are from realities where anything is possible...even Discord falling in love.

Hilarity-and foal madness-is coming...

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.

A prequel of sorts to The Wheel and the Butterfly Saga. Can be read on its own.

Discord recounts his exploits as a newly formed being, provides insights into his motivation, and talks about one of the greatest foes he faced while he ruled Equestria over a millennium ago.

"Three's A Crowd" endcap. In which Discord hates his life, Cadance is a bit of a troll, and Twilight learns an important lesson about friendship and the concept of negative vs positive attention. Also, a draconequus makes a tolerable kite when necessary.

This story is a sequel to Traitor

Chaos is inconsistent by nature... even when it would prefer to be consistent.

Discord is afraid that his nature ensures he'll inevitably betray those he cares about again, someday, and he can't figure out how to stop himself. (Spoilers season 4 finale.)

Cover art is from the comics, edited and with background color changed by me. Progress Bar at my writing journal.

Twilight could possibly have forgiven the thief for stealing books from the library. But when she finds food stains all over a few the thief returned... oh, now it is on.

(This description will likely change in future, but it's accurate now. More character tags will be added in future as well.)

That's it, the last straw! Discord is done with this! He has had it with these mother-bucking ponies and their mother-bucking harmony! After a particularly bad day of not being allowed to be himself, Discord does what he does best. He finds a loophole and exploits the tartarus out of it. Best of all, he'll get to do whatever he wants, guilt trips from a certain yellow pegasus not included.

Then again, telling nopony one's plans certainly has its perks.

And what is his brilliant plan? He's taking a nap. If that nap just so happens to induce nightmares in those he dislikes and mass insomnia in the others... well, no plan is perfect. Dreams are more chaotic than the waking world anyway.

Story takes place in the undefined time between episodes "Keep Calm and Flutter On" and "Magical Mystery Cure".

Rainbow Dash tries to write a story. Twilight tries to read it.

Then Discord decides to be helpful...
