In an ongoing war against the ever-persisting changeling threat, Twilight Sparkle grows ever desperate to rid herself, her closest friends, and Equestria of Chrysalis and her army for good. Confiding in her friend Rainbow Dash that she feels as though all of their efforts have been for naught, begins to consider more drastic measures.

Rainbow, out of concern, and love her longtime friend, persuades her out of it, but after a day of fun between the two ends in tragedy, and after receiving a threatening visit from Chrysalis herself in the dead of night, Twilight finds herself with seemingly no other options but to open herself up to dark magic.

From there, things only get worse.

When Discord told Fluttershy that he loved her, he meant that he loved her forever. A beautiful, if fanciful sentiment to most. To a being like Discord, it's a very real promise. For one of them, forever is a very real thing, and an impossibility for the other. But Discord is a master of the impossible. It's his gift. And his curse.
Written for Muwun.

"Beyond the fact that this is excellently written, it's a crossroads where sweet meets hellish. So many stories confront Twilight outliving her friends. Few if any ask, 'But what if Fluttershy outlives them all?' And I stress all. Part of why this story hits so well is that I've seen two diametrically opposed readings of it and it manages to support both at the same time. On one hand, it's a poignant and tragic love story as Discord desperately tries to keep his love alive and she fights back with just as much force to have him accept the inevitable. On the other hand, it's showing the most toxic relationship possible as Discord forces Fluttershy to endure it all - even as she begs him to stop - because he can't deal with not having her in his life. I know my read on the story, but it's fascinating that it manages to be both a beautiful romance and a relationship horror story all at once. No matter your reading of it, it's an amazing tale and one of my absolute favorite FlutterCords." - TCC56

All characters are OCs, but if any of the names look like another reader's, I do apologise.

Pinkie and Cheese's daughter, Li'l Cheese couldn't be more ecstatic, she had finally received her cutie mark! Of course, being born into a family of super duper party ponies, this calls for some sort of celebration. However, things don't always go according to plan.

The battle is over. 

Chrysalis and her co-conspirators have lost, against all odds, defeated once again by the power of friendship (and overwhelming numbers). For their crimes they find themselves imprisoned in stone, petrified and locked away, and it seems as though their punishment will last forever.

But the new Princess of Equestria isn’t finished with them just yet.

The Melody of Love, Hate, and Tragedy

When one thinks of Love, and Hate, all anyone can ever think of is of the two being polar opposites. Two opposites at constant war with one another. In the same way as Light, and Darkness, Good, and Evil wage an eternal struggle for dominance in all of existence. And with no room in between to tell the difference between either.

But Love, and Hate are far more intertwined than any can imagine.

For it was the love of two omnipotent entities known as The Baphomet, or Elder Gods, who ironically embodied Light, and Darkness that gave life to the world of Equestria. A love that they had shaped, and formed after fate brought them to a mysterious world where they learned more about their reality than they ever could have imagined. And together, while given sanctuary of this celestial domain that reigns over space, and time, the two seek to strengthen, and grow themselves to better be prepared to face any threat to the Balance of Creation they are sworn to protect.

And through time, effort, and even tribulation they become true Bahamut of Creation, Life and Light, and Destruction, Death and Darkness to maintain the balance of existence. For neither Bahamuts, nor the Aspects they embody can exist without the other. And now, they have the strength to work together, and protect each other as they also protect the universe. Bound by the strongest of loves the two had forged in their time of training, it was believed that nothing could ever break apart the bonds of Harmony that were shared by living embodiments of the central aspects of creation.

But even Love inevitably falls.

And circumstances cause it to decay, and rot until only hate remains.

This is how it all happened. How these universal lovers story not only came to pass: but also shaped the world of Equestria into what it is now. A world born out of love, until the mistakes of mortals incurred the hatred that ended three generations of Equestrian life. And how the Fourth Generation lead to tragedy when the lovers became mortal enemies who war for the fate of this new stage of life.

The Tragedy of how Love dies, Hate begets more hatred in the form of curses and calamity, and ends in the eternal entrapment of Light, and Darkness.

This Story is a Prequel to - The Heart That Forgot How to Feel

Taking place before the events of The Heart That Forgot How to Feel, Fluttershy's tragic death following her pregnancy presents itself with the opportunity of a lifetime for a local mad scientist with ambitions of building and developing Equestria's very first cyborg pony.

However, during the development phase when it comes to running his experiments to test his progress, the scientist finds himself entering a situation which is more than he ever anticipated, leaving him with plagued thoughts. He begins to wonder if he's doing the correct thing, toying around with the ethics that come with tradition, mortality and the concept of a second chance.

Perhaps, just maybe, this new experiment might open his eyes and heart a little...

The title says it all.
(It's best to read the original story first. It's crap, but it'll give some context.)
