Daring Do's amazing, adventurous life has come to a complete halt. Ahuizotl has seemingly vanished and Daring Do now has nothing to write about. She's been on plenty of adventures, so she could probably just make one up, but she has other things on her mind. Like the last adventure she went on, for example. That was the last time she or anypony else had seen Ahuizotl, and for some reason it bothers her.

Fed up with sitting around and doing nothing, she sets out to find Ahuizotl herself. As she heads through the remote jungles looking for him, she starts to wonder if she's doing this for her fans or for herself. What she may find, however, is something nopony could have predicted.

Daring Do had been searching for the Winter Pearl, rumored to have incredible power. But, when it is stolen by a new enemy she would have to join forces with her old and bitter enemy, Ahuizotl.

The Tenochtitlan Basin has its own rules and so do its inhabitants. Daring Do may or may not have stumbled into some regarding marriage proposals. Now Ahuizotl is set on making her his wife, and he's not one to take no for an answer.

Daring Do has stopped Ahuizotl from conquering the world countless times, but can she stop him from conquering her heart?

Long ago, when Everfree was the capital of Equestria and a thriving city rather than a forest, the Palace of the Royal Pony Sisters was a grand castle which contained many treasures and artifacts. Twilight Sparkle has read a book telling of one particular treasure still hidden there: the Nirucon Stone, which is said to enhance the magical ability of whoever holds it.

Twilight gathers her friends and they venture off into the forest, but they encounter a foe who they thought was just a fictional character: Auhizotl, the villain from the Daring Do books. Turns out, he's a beast who actually exists, and is the self-proclaimed King of the Everfree Forest, ruling from the ruined palace. The good news is that he is willing to part with the stone and even guide the mane six on their way to find it... but the bad news is that he enjoys watching ponies solve challenging and deadly puzzles and riddles on the way.

Will the Mane Six survive his tests and retrieve the stone? Or, unlike Daring Do, are they just not cut out for archaeology?

Fluttershy's unfortunate mishap with the Vampire Fruit Bats has made her even more immune to manipulation... or so we thought. Equestria is in danger when a dangerous draconequus seduces the innocent and sucks their blood. But this creature seems to have a fond eye for Fluttershy. Will Fluttershy tame this creature or will she fall prey to his dark, roguish charms? MLP meets Dracula... or in this case, Discordula

Shortly after "Keep Calm and Flutter On", Discord has conversations with several of the Mane 6, and other characters. They do not necessarily go all that well. Character tags will be added as I add sections. Chapter descriptions will be added here as I start writing new pieces, not necessarily after I upload them. Takes place in the same continuity as "Last Draconequus", "Princess Twilight Sparkle Endcaps" and "Elements of Opposition".

"Mutually Assured Embarrassment" - Not a clopfic, but mature subject matter. Twilight has an erotic nightmare (not shown) about Discord raping her. Discord watches it and then shows up to inform her how offended he is that her subconscious mind thinks he's pathetic enough to rape ponies. Twilight wants to die of humiliation, but only after killing Discord several times.

"All Apologies" - Discord takes Pinkie to dinner to apologize to her for what he did to her in the labyrinth. It goes well, until it doesn't.

Now with a Progress Bar!

Fluttershy and Discord have become very good friends lately.

Now if only she could convince him that she's not in his imagination...

Nopony ever said the friendship between Fluttershy and Discord would be an easy one. The difference in their life expectancies doesn’t help, but that’s a problem Discord can fix with a snap of the talons—that is, until Fluttershy finds out. Discord isn’t one to give up easily, though. He’ll do anything to keep his one and only friend. Anything.

There is now a video review! And still another video review! And Russian and French translations! And there are dramatic readings from Joehighlord and Dr. Wolf! But wait! There's more: Dr. Wolf has collaborated with Meb90 and a team of other talented artists to produce something amazing.

Things are hard in Ponyville for Fluttershy and Discord; mainly because of Discord. But when magic starts to go on the fritz and eventually starts failing altogether, it's up to the main six and the Draconequus to find out what's causing it and, more importantly, how to fix it.

This would be a lot easier if anypony trusted the King of Chaos to begin with, but with bigger problems on the horizon, some things will have to wait to be dealt with. Like trust. Or loyalty. Or friendship.

Of course, sometimes what we think isn't important to deal with right now, is exactly what's needed to prevent things from getting far, far worse.
