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.

Discord has been away for a couple of months due to some royal duties from Celestia. Cause of this he hasn't seen Fluttershy for quite a while. Now that he has some free time might as well catch up.

Discord has found Tirek, and is about to parade him back to his friends for their love and adoration. But an offer is made, an enticing offer... He'll need to talk this one over with a friend.

Ponyville has changed in a hundred years of sunshine and snow and rain, of towering cloud formations, Solistice festivals, nights full of constelations and seasons full of happiness. Truth be told, many things have changed, and the Elements have faded back into myths, but Equestria still stands. The question is, will Ponyville last as well?

So, one-two generations after the Mane Six, here is the quick update:
-Celestia has a son named Crimsonleaf
-Rainbow Dash passed away, her daughter, Rainbow Dark, has taken her title as fastest.
-Applejack's granddaughter, Applesauce, looks almost exactly like her.
-A group of nomads, made up of one Pegasus, Rapture, a Unicorn, Lamplight, and two Earth Ponies, Bomberman and Thumper are showing up somewhere in this story
-Rarity's daughter is made fun of for being made of marshmallow
-Gilda has a son named Tigerjay
-Spike has a daughter named Sunrise
-Even Zercora has a daughter, named Chibi
-A hermit named Starlight has shown up in the Everfree Forest

-Twilight is old, Rarity is oldish, Rainbow Dash has passed on, Fluttershy vanished after Coronus's death, Applejack is old, and Pinkie went to Canterlot to get away from the sadness in her home and has not returned since.
-Celestia is still alive, but growing weak; Luna, due to her missed years on the moon, it just beginning to look like a mare
-Crimsonleaf's father has the gift of invinciblity; he will not die until Celestia does.
-The nomads are of average age
-Rarity had a child later, who is now the same age as most of the grandkids, give a few years
-Gilda has a Griffon's lifespan, so her child is also a young age
-Spike is still alive and well, and takes care of his daughter in the library's underground tunnels (they exist)
-Zercora's daughter is much more social than she is.
-Starlight has a secret.
-The Cutie Mark Crusaders are full-grown mares

Let the games begin.

AU of the Season 4 finale, Twilight's Kingdom. Tirek tortures the three princesses in an attempt to learn the whereabouts of their magic. The most unlikely hero comes to their rescue, the Draconequus lord of chaos. Will a powerless and weak Discord be able to save the pony he has always loved?

Warnings: Major character death and gore (shouldn't be too explicit)

Update: I will be adding an Alternate Ending to this in which Discord does not die as well as a chapter studying how his death affects the Mane Six.

TV TROPES PAGE! Show it the love, people!

Tartarus: the fabled prison said to hold all of the demons of Equus at bay.

Few truly know what lies behind the impenetrable doors Cerberus guards. Some say that it is a pit, infinite in it's depth and darkness, from which there is no return. Other claim it to be a hellish plain, filled with fire and pain and suffering, to punish the demons for their sins.

All of them are wrong.

Tartarus is small. An inescapable cell for a single prisoner. But the tales about it's purpose are not false.

For this captive human holds the key to unleashing upon Equestria forces which have not been seen for centuries, forces which predate Equestria by many an age.

And soon, he shall be free.

This story is a sequel to Ghosts of Whitetail Wood

This story begins a few weeks before the events of Ghosts of Whitetail Wood and continues forward past the ending of that story. Celestia is confronted with the fact that her faithful student has managed to break the fundamental laws of the universe. If left uncorrected, there's a good chance that the universe itself may unravel. The obvious answer is to kill Twilight Sparkle and all of creation is conspiring to eliminate her as a threat. Celestia has other ideas.

This story is a sequel to Titanomachy

Old wounds crack open and bleed as the world changes following the events of Titanomachy. A child with a rare but unwanted talent becomes a witness to evils committed eons ago. Can the ultimate sin be forgiven with enough time? If so, should it?

This story takes place sometime between "Too Many Pinky Pies" and "Keep Calm and Flutter On."

Princess Celestia is a living legend, but much of her life is shrouded in mystery. Records have long since been lost to the decay of time, and the tale of her triumph over Discord has become a fable. The Princess's memory of the event has long since faded... or has it?

Her faithful student lending an eager ear, Celestia recounts the true story of a war-torn Equestria, the struggle against Discord, and the early years of her own life.

Before she was the Princess of the Sun, she was merely a stranger.

Boring life. Boring job. Boring friends. Would I trade it all away for a new life in a new world?

Hell no.

Do I get a choice in the matter?

Fat chance.

Not HiE per se; more like (Insert creature here)iE. No Mary-Sue, no self-insert; just a regular, cynical guy whose life became a bit more...Chaotic.
Not a 'Human in Equestria turned pony' story.
