During a rainstorm, Discord tells Fluttershy about the time he found some rather boring looking islands. At least they were boring looking until he decided to make them a tad more interesting.

Can be read as something that happens after the story Wanderlust or just as a standalone story. The choice is yours. The name of the story came from my friend Sam who had me slapping my forehead because I missed out on an excellent ponified name for a geographical location. So I guess this story is dedicated to him.

Art is mine.

It's Hearth's Warming Eve and Fluttershy's gift from Aunt Luna is a nutcracker. Her aunt tells her that he is under a curse, cast by an evil monster called the Chaos King.

She doesn't believe her until night falls and the Chaos King comes with his army. Shrunk in the battle, Fluttershy must venture with the nutcracker into the Land of Sweets to defeat the Chaos King and break his evil spells.

An MLP twist on "The Nutcracker."
