"What About Discord?"

What indeed about Discord? How strange for the master of chaos to suddenly descend upon Ponyville, bond with his favorite friends besides Twilight Sparkle, and then use that bonding (coupled with sarcastic jabs and sly glances) to snarkily teach Twilight Sparkle a friendship lesson of his own in an almost season 4-ish manner. Certainly a genuine desire for deeper friendships with the other girls played a role in his actions, but what other thoughts and plans might have influenced his behavior?

Luckily, a few days after the end of this latest chaotic adventure, Discord shows up at Twilight's castle to explain his goals of the previous weekend and to hint at some of his friendship plans for the future (for Ponyville and beyond). And he begins by asking the friendship princess a simple question about his teasing this time around: was it too much?

The conversation that follows illuminates many things.

Being the ever-helpful assistant that he is, Spike has made reservations at the Far-Afield Tavern for himself and his friends. Unbeknownst to him, however, fate had other ideas. So while Rarity is busy turning her hotel room into a sweatshop, Spike is sitting around in the tavern wondering where everypony is.

It eventually gets to the point when the restaurant cannot hold onto his reservations anymore. But just when he's about to head back to the hotel and write this off as a crummy day, he receives an invitation to join some famous ponies for dinner. Even more bizarre, the pony extending this invitation is someone he hasn't spoken to in ages (in fact, they barely talked at all). Normally, he'd be skeptical about this, but after a long day of hauling luggage and chasing birds, he figures it's best not to look this gift horse in the mouth. After all, business partners can be friends too, right? Right.

Inspired in part by xjuggernaughtx's fantastic fic, The Carrot Dog Fight.

Since meeting Apple Bloom, Twilight, and their friends, Zecora's life has become much more filled with warmth and purpose than it has been ever before. But old patterns of thought are hard to change, and becoming part of a community can seem impossible to a recluse.

This story is a sequel to Fortresshy: The Nine Fathers

Fluttershy has returned to Equestria after being temporally displaced to another world, where she was raised by a loving but insane family. She didn't return alone, though. Her new family came back with her, now working for Princess Luna, their new Fortress being built near to Ponyville. All involved would need time to adjust.

Unfortunately, time waits for no one, pony or human. Still, the former RED Team - now Team RED MOON - is used to handling craziness. After all, they live under the same roof.

With the invention of the magical radio, ponies from across Equestria await the first public radio broadcast, which will come from Princess Celestia herself. However, one week before the presentation an unauthorized broadcast powerful enough to reach every corner of Equestria appears. Its host? Discord.

After a series of unfortunate events, Reimu Hakurei and Marisa Kirisame end up transported to Ponyville, putting Gensokyo in mortal danger. However, they didn't expect to have a third human joining them - A man in a uniform, whose humanity is debatable.

Can they survive the perils of Equestria until Yukari finally wakes up and figures out they're missing? Will the mystery of Mobius One ever be solved? How is he such a badass pilot, like an airborne Stig?

And can Reimu and Marisa live with him and each other without going absolutely insane?

When Wreck-it-Ralph finds a villain character who seems to have gone Turbo, he finds more than a handful in the handful sized sprite.
For one thing, she has no idea what game she comes from.
For another, her code seems completely foreign to the Arcade.
For a third...she's absolutely adorable.
Having only just finished cleaning up after King Candy's mess, this little Nightmare could be a problem...or the greatest blessing Ralph has ever received.
