When Twilight visits Celestia's private hall of stained-glass windows, each bearing the image of a long-gone friend, one in particular catches her eye.

Who was this pony?

Why was she so important to Celestia?

And why does she look so familiar?

It's Fluttershy's soulmate day. This day just happens to coincide with the escape of the Lord of Chaos, Discord.

Now, she must figure out who her soulmate is and take care of a bad guy at the same time.

The universe has terrible timing.

Fluttercord soulmate AU with Groundhog Day influences.

Fluttershy has always believed that she doesn't have a soulmate, as their cutie mark never appeared on her right hoof. But when she encounters the villain she and her friends are facing, she might be proven wrong.

Soulmate AU

After overhearing a rumor that his friendship with Fluttershy means stallions are too afraid to date her, Discord swears that he will find her the perfect mate. Unfortunately Discord has absolutely no idea what a pony wants in their special somepony. Happily, he has many pony friends now that he can ask for advice, but no matter how much advice he gets, nothing seems to go according to plan.

This is somewhat outside my usual comfort zone, I don't write a lot of comedy and I don't write a lot of Discord, but I had fun doing it, so hopefully you will have fun reading it.

Update: There is a NSFW "deleted scene" from this story in my new clop shortfics collection, Quickies. Feel free to check it out if you're into that.

It started out innocently enough. Rainbow Dash received a prank love letter, and decided to laugh about it with Applejack. Problem is, it wasn't a prank; and Applejack had been the one who sent it.

Now Applejack has disappeared, and Rainbow Dash is determined to find her and bring her back.

Because they're friends. Yeah. Friends.

Special thanks to TwilightUCrazy for the idea and invaluable suggestions for this story.

Applejack's life leaves her little time for romance. All the time that isn't spent working the farm is either given to her family, or given to sleep. So, she's largely given up on love, seeing it as just a far off dream.

What she doesn't know is that another pony can see that dream.

Discord feels different when he's around a certain pony, but is afraid of what she would think of him. So he makes a few changes to himself. He tries his best to keep it a secret, just to be close to her for one day.

Lucia Fluttershy is hopelessly in love with Discord, her brother's enemy, and she knows that he loves her equally. Upon sight, both knew that he would be murdered if her brother were ever to come across him.

Yet, he is willing to risk everything to make their lives right again. He is the only thing she has left, save her callous and vengeful brother.

Zephyr had intended to murder him, for Discord had protected the mare he lusted after, and assisted in her elopement. He was never to forgive the one who deprived him of his cruel, twisted happiness.

Fluttershy had successfully protected her only comfort - love - quite a number of times. What she does not realize, was that her brother was much more callous than she ever anticipated.

Knowing of his sister's protective nature, he arranges for a number of incidents to damage her psyche and force her to marry the Prince Blueblood, whose riches will secure their position in society.

Composing an elaborate scheme, he drives Fluttershy and Discord apart, and sends his own sister in a horrid downward spiral.

What he doesn't realize is that his actions have consequences. He damages his sister irreparably and murders her will to live.

The story is based upon Donizetti's "Lucia di Lammermoor" and the Walter Scott's "The Bride of Lammemoor".

Discord has been defeated, and all is well again. So why isn't Fluttershy as happy as her friends?
