Princess Cadance noticed how lonely Princess Celestia seemed on Hearts and Hooves Day.

She decided to send a small love spell her way, as motivation to help her find a special somepony, even if it's just for a day.

Cadance immediately regretted it upon finding out who it was.

Discord is seen by many as a monster. Princess Celestia has told the story of discord the spirit of chaos and disharmony, but no pony knows the truth behind it all, until one day Twilight finds an old artifact that tells the story behind the conflict between Celestia and Discord. She finds that Monsters aren't born they are created and that not all stories end 'happily ever after'...

What happens when Rainbow Dash does a stunt, and crashes in the Everfree Forest and is injured? What happens when no one was watching Rainbow Dash, and no one knows she crashed, except one unlikely filly? Find out what happens in this tale that will test some of our favorite ponies alone deep in the Everfree.

“That is the reason why I summoned you here, Twilight. There is a certain student that I want to tell you about, although you have met him before. He was not like what you have seen. He was a pony just like you, full of energy and promise. But then something happened.”

The pages stopped fluttering and Twilight gazed at the open page. There was a picture of a grey unicorn stallion about her age.

“Twist,” Twilight said as she read the name under the picture.

“Yes, but you know him by another name: Discord.”

As Discord finds himself in the darkness of his own mind, Celestia visits him momentarily to leave the creature with a memory of when the two were children.

'My Daddy told me to write this story you know?...My Daddy's great.'

Many years after Discord was defeated we look back into what his life was like growing up through his own eyes, how he came to be such a monster, and how he saw the world right from the begining.

A big thanks to Enderstorm for doing the new amazing artwork for Diddy. Cute isn't he?

Just to say that Diddy means small. It seemed to be a word some people didn't understand but that's what it means.
A big Thankyou to Tricondon who thus far has pre-read every one of the diary entries

Hearth's Warming Eve has come once again, which means fun in the snow, warm food, and spending time with family. At least, that's what it means for most ponies. For Scootaloo it means a day off from crusading, loneliness, and the coldest night of the year. When Discord begins to whisper to her from his stone prison, she questions the beliefs held by many. What was so great about Harmony? What could be so bad about a world where chocolate milk fell from the sky?

Now with its own TV Tropes Page!

There was only one explanation. For all of it. All of the strange, erratic behavior. Her irrational fear of the sun. Her nocturnal habits of locking herself in in the dark and closing all the blinds. Wearing her sunglasses everywhere, even inside! It was time to invest in some silver, garlic, and a wooden stake.

After the disastrous invasion of Canterlot, an injured changeling wakes up near a small cottage and is quickly discovered by two of the last ponies she ever wanted to see. Now, with the help of her new "friends," she has to remain undetected in a town high on changeling hysteria that would not hesitate to throw her in the Canterlot dungeons should her true nature be revealed.

Simple, right?

Too bad she couldn't have picked a worse form to stay inconspicuous...

Many thanks to ZuTheSkunk for the cover image!

Ditto, a changeling from the attack on Canterlot, is flung far from her home and lands in Ponyville. She crashes into Twilight's library, and finds it a nice place to stay, quiet, abandoned, and peaceful. Until, of course,Twilight returns from Canterlot and finds her.

How will Ditto survive? She is lost, hungry, and far from her swarm.

Will the ponies find it in their hearts to help this poor, injured creature?

Note: This story is no longer under revision, but there will still be a few spellchecks and such :)
