Now with a dramatic reading by Goombasa!

Rated Teen for thematic elements and graphic depictions of violence.

We all know the story. Discord was released, had his day of fun, but was eventually defeated by the Elements of Harmony. But what if things didn't go exactly to plan, and Discord didn't sit there and take the final hit? Instead of the God of Chaos being encased in stone, the Mane Six find themselves far from home on an adventure that will change them all. With villains around every corner, and allies in the most unlikely places, how will they defeat Discord?

A Guide to the past millennium and a half, including the final years of the Equestrian Republic, the Reign of Discord, the War of the Bloodied Crystals, the Lunar Rebellion, the Decade of Accelerating Change, and everything in between.
Compiled by Princess Twilight Sparkle.

We have a tvtropes page! It desperately needs some love: clicky

My name is Starswirl and I am an earth pony. This is a collection of stories about my life. As I reflect on the events that have brought me to this home by the sea, I can only hope for one thing; that my life be viewed as ordinary and plain, but my work in theoretical magic be held the highest regard. I placed so much effort into my studies in theoretical magic that it would be a shame to let my work be lost somewhere in the sands of time.

As seen on Equestria Daily!

updates whenever I get a chance to update it :P.

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, the Lord of Chaos and the Creator of a world that has twice imprisoned him in stone, can't get enough of his favourite little ponies. But why?

Picture from http://mlp.wikia.com.

Tirek is imprisoned once more. Left for eternal imprisonment, to rot for his cruel deeds committed during his brief escape. Now Tirek can only dream of what may have been had he succeeded. With an eternity to think over his actions, he is surprised when he is subjected to a visit from a being he had long thought had forgotten him.

*Just something I wrote during a day I had no internet. Kind of came out of nothing really. I just wanted to do another villain story. Hope you enjoy!

The village had been perfect, free from the inequality and misery rampant throughout the rest of Equestria. Then Twilight Sparkle and her so-called friends arrived and ruined everything.

But all hope is not lost. Starlight Glimmer has a plan to restore her lost utopia on a much vaster scale.

After all, it's not like that purple princess was friends with anything worse.

Story contains spoilers for the Season 5 premiere, nonspecific allusions to torture, and nuts. Story does not contain Nikita Khruschev or shoes.

After Scorpan betrayed Tirek, he left Equestria and friends he had made. But it was not without purpose. Scorpan betrayed one brother. He would not abandon another.

Volgar is the younger brother of Scorpan. Soon after Volgar becomes an adult, he has visions of a creature that he finds out is his older brother, Tirek.

He learns from Scorpan of what happened to Tirek. Volgar leaves his homeland, determined to rescue the brother he never knew despite Scorpan’s objections. But when he finally meets Tirek, reuniting the family will be far more difficult than he imagined.

Meanwhile, Equestia's royalty is in danger, as old powerful beings question Celestia's rule. To make matters worse, total war lingers over the land, with diplomacy being the only hope to settle the matter. And something… far more sinister lies in the deepest shadows of the world's core. Waiting. Watching. Planning.

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.
