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"?!?

Professor Discord starts receiving unwanted attention from the new student of Celestial Academy, Twilight Sparkle. As Twilight spends her days trying to unravel the mystery surrounding the Draconequus, something watches from the shadows with malicious intent.

Everyone gets lonely, right? If Pinkie Pie can, she figures Discord must, too. After all, how much fun can a statue possibly have?
And even he deserves some company. Who knows, maybe he'll even appreciate it!

Eventual Discopie, leads to an AU where Pinkie reforms Discord instead of Flutters.
New cover! Finally learning how to work that art tablet!
Raised the rating just in case, and took off comedy tag, since this has funny moments, but isn't a comedy, per se.

"The world is neither fair nor just, Miss Pie, it simply is. You may take it as a responsible adult or bemoan the point like a spoiled child."

Every day is full of decisions. Decisions on how to dress, how to act, which turns to take, and the list goes on. However, the decisions that have the most impact on our lives are scarcely obvious. For Pinkamena it was the simple choice of staying on the rock farm, for Cheese it was whether to escape the inevitable or embrace it. Cheese Sandwich chose to leave, and his life was forever changed for the better. Rory Scribe chose to stay, and that made all the difference.

Being the pinnacle culinary achievement for rising bakers, the Annual Canterlot Bake-Off is one of the largest events of its kind. Ponies Equestria-wide come to show off their crafts, eager to prove the supremacy of their art. To many, it is the first step on the road to greatness.

For Cupcake, it is an unending thorn in her side. Every year she has entered, and every year she has lost to lesser chefs simply because they smile and display emotion.

But she'll keep fighting.

Some versions of multiverse theory state that every decision we make creates a whole other universe. Whether we ate a bagel this morning. Whether we went with orange or grapefruit juice for breakfast.

Whether we married Discord or Flash Sentry.

Needless to say, some universes come out more different than others.

This is the story of two such universes.

And the day they collided.

Cheerilee decided that she would allow each pony in her class to choose what the nature of their homework should be. That was her first mistake.

The second was to think that Scootaloo was serious.

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!

This story is a sequel to Diary of a Silent Tyrant

It's funny what an idle slip of the tongue can lead to. When Discord makes an off-hand comment to Fluttershy about the mental diary he kept when encased in stone, she begs him to continue it. She says it will be "therapeutic", but he's sure it'll be a real bore. But who can resist those puppy-dog eyes and a bribe of fresh cookies? Grudgingly, he takes up a pencil to document his thoughts and experiences in his new life. A life among his old enemies. A life he never wanted.

Given the successful befriending of Discord, Princess Celestia deems that no longer will villains be defeated but instead reformed. While most have the chance to submit willingly or continue to fight, King Sombra is given little option. Brought back from the dead and stripped of all his powers and strength, it's all become a game of futility. Now Sombra only wishes he could have stayed dead all along.
