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.

This story is a sequel to Discord's First, Last and Only Friendship Report

Set in my "Next of Kin to Chaos" series, but no Star Trek knowledge is needed for this story. More or less direct sequel to "Discord's First, Last and Only Friendship Report", but not humor. Celestia summons Discord to explain himself regarding his ridiculous "friendship report", but the conversation quickly diverges. Discord wants to know what Celestia wanted to reform him for, and what he's expected to do. And Celestia wants to know why he decided to reform.

A page for this series now exists: Next of Kin to Chaos

Edited to add: The marvelous zabchan drew me this lovely cover art! Thank you!

Discord and Celestia have fled from the shackles of the castle and are living free to cause chaos. Only Problem? Celestia doesn't know how. Discord is put through his paces as day after day he must try and make Celestia shake off years of royal etiquette and 'proper' magic training while Celestia worries his magic is having an adverse effect on her free will.

Sequel to Controlled Chaos, Chaotic Control but it's not necessary you read that first. Though it would be nice.

Destiny moves us all, and for Celestia, it moved her down a single path: to bring order to the world. It was this purpose for existing that had been made known to her from the moment of her creation, and when she descended to Equestria, it was that mission which defined her entire being. So when faced with an offer from her homeland to exchange her free will for a thousand years of peace and order, the choice should have been easy.

Unfortunately, falling in love with a spirit of chaos was never part of the plan.

You may think I'm talking to myself. I'm not... I can assure you that I'm speaking to someone.

I just wish I wasn't.

“Yes, Princess, I’m ready to use my magic for good instead of evil…most of the time.”

“I’ll leave the Elements with you, Twilight…just in case.”

Directly following the events of “Keep Calm and Flutter On” Discord and Celestia call each other out on these little ‘disclaimers’ and try to explain their words while still maintaining their new friendship. They soon agree on some interesting conditions for Discord’s recent reform, leading to the castle, some Royal Canterlot Voice from Luna, cake, and an interesting night and morning as Discord figures out how to relate to his former princess foes in a much less evil (if as obnoxious as ever) sort of way. He especially enjoys his new ‘friendly’ way of bothering Celestia.

Later, following Tirek’s defeat (and Discord’s final reform), the chaos master and the sun princess assess how their friendship has gone and where it might go from here. Luna throws in her two bits as well. Naturally, cake is eaten. And, of course, no matter how reformed he may become, Discord ‘loves’ teasing Celestia as much as ever…and it’s sort of grown on Celestia too.

(Rated Teen really only because of some suggestiveness, and I just want to err on the side of caution :) )

Meet Prince Solaris, or "Diddy" as his father calls him. The child of Princess Celestia and Discord, a grand destiny awaits the young boy, one that will one day shape all of Equestria. A villainous agent of destruction...a shining paragon of justice...who can say?

For now, he will simply be known as the Troublemaker, That Child, the Bane of Galas, and My Sunshine...

This is a story about the last two designation, a story about a mother and her child and their bond.

A story about a certain Gala's aftermath.

Celestia's week has not been fun. First, her younger sister decides she's in no condition to rule and steals her job, then Discord disappears on her when she needs him most, and now she's stained her favorite bed sheets. Could this week get any worse?

But hey, at least that means the pregnancy's almost over. Soon, she'll be cradling her newborn baby, covering him or her with kisses and nuzzles as Luna, Twilight, and Discord watch beside her, waiting for their turn to hold. Everything'll go smoothly, her personal doctors will make sure of it. Childbirth's a breeze when you're a princess.

Right?

One evening, when Celestia is brooding over current issues that are troubling her, ultimately feeling stressed, Discord takes her by the hoof and reminds her that life isn't all about work and order. Every now and again, you need to have a little fun, by dancing on a few clouds or running through the rain. Spontaneity may make an alicorn of order hesitant, but once giving it a chance, Celestia comes to find that it can liven up your world in a new and wonderful way.

Celestia is awakened by a magic disturbance, suspects Discord, and summons him straight into her bedchamber
