Twilight Sparkle, personal student of Celestia, a loving daughter, a friend to five, and a sister.

She's also known as a freak, a monster, and an abomination to many others.

All because of what she was.

She wasn't a griffin, or a minotaur, or a dragon. She was a draconequus, but nopony except the Princesses knew that. All records of draconequii were destroyed and ponies thought that the statue of Discord was just a statue made by an artist with a wild imagination.

Until Discord breaks free of course.

Now Twilight, her friends, and her family is forced to learn about what she truly is and also have to deal with a huge secret that has been kept from her for a millennia.

And also stop Discord from turning the world inside-out.

The tensions of estranged family run high when Cloudy Quartz's mother, Change, comes to see her newborn grandfoals. Things only get worse when Change makes a discovery that spells hope for her species, and promises disaster for her relationship with her daughter.

Pinkie Pie has the soul of a draconequus.

Discord is free, alive and free! He refuses to talk to anypony and continues to create havok for the mane six. Fluttershy, to everyone's surprise, saves the day. Discord is reformed! Simple right? No. An injured female draconaquus comes to Ponyville and many secrets are uncovered.
EDIT: This is not a Discord R63!!!

Mirabelle, an average fangirl. She's a brony among other things but those aren't important right now. What's important is the story I'm telling!

Mirabelle had fallen asleep in her safe, warm bed at home on Earth and in the human world. Boringly normal right? Yeah, I agree. So time to make some chaos, most of it unintended.

Now she's in the body of Eris and in my universe and has no idea how she got there! The first pony she meets is me, the most fabulous and amazing Discord!

Though she ends up nearly hugging me to death, probably a bad idea to bring a brony into my universe... Though it wasn't really my idea to begin with... But what the heck? It's not like anything could go wrong!

Oh, how wrong I could be. Oh how wonderfully wrong, I guess Twilight was right. I should've used a sa- Well I can't go spoiling this story can I? Go! Go and read Pesky Draconequui & Their Meddling!

This letter was found is Discord's private quarters in Canterlot Castle, Four years and Seven months ALR (After Luna's Return), Celestia herself hasn't been able to decode or read the smudged words. You'd need Discord or the pony who wrote the letter, Discord's not talking and no pony knows who wrote the letter.

To anypony reading this letter, unless you are a
certain Lord of Chaos, bug off.
This letter isn't for you.

Discord

You do (these words are smudged). One year after you a- (these words are smudged) -f the day, you must pull a woman named (this word is smudged) from E- (these words are smudged).

She will be given the form of a draconequus and you must t- (quite a few words are smudged).

Tell her to change her n- (these words are smudged), li- (these words are smudged). She makes valid points, most of the time.

Also, beware of (these words are smudged). For she will hinder your (these words are smudged) Mirabelle and (these words are smudged), bring along (these words are smudged) when you decide to (these few words are scribbled out).

Be f-(these words are smudged beyond recognition), if you do not heed my (this word is smudged). Equus will (these words are smudged), and it will become (these words are smudged) if you will.

~An Old Friend

This is basically a HiE, but with a draconequus instead of the usual pony/griffin/changeling/dragon/diamond dog, etc.

EXPECT CHAOS! LOTS OF CHAOS!

Twilight Sparkle has spent months researching chaos magic, developing a new spell to unlock magic nopony has ever experienced before. But when something goes wrong with casting, Twilight finds herself turned into a Draconequus and unable to control her new chaos magic. If she ever wants to be a pony again, there is only one who can help her learn to control her new magic.

Of course, learning from Discord was never going to be simple. And after a while, being a draconequus doesn't seem so bad anyway....

Set directly after the Tirek incident, Fluttershy and Discord are suffering, alone and apart. Fluttershy may have forgiven him, but she feels that she has failed her friend, and longs to understand Discord. Why wasn't she good enough, why did he betray them? Why hadn't he cherished their friendship as much as she had?

Discord, on the other hand, struggles from the pain of his own guilt, and doesn't even know who he is anymore. He doesn't want to lose the closest friend he has either, but he's positive that their relationship will never be the same again. He can't stand it.

They're falling apart, and the magic of the earth isn't happy about it. Then a cloaked stranger comes into the picture, and plants a mysterious flower...

Fluttershy only utters a simple request. "I wish I could understand you, Discord..."

Little does she know that such a wish entails much more than just an understanding...and her wish is granted in the most chaotic of ways--and the only one who can help her is the very friend she is trying to understand.
