Discord says goodbye.

Sparkler loved her daddy. While mommy worked, daddy played. He made her smile, laugh, and enjoy even the simplest things in life. Yes, Sparkler was happy. With a mommy who is a beautiful princess, and a daddy who knows how to make her smile, what more could she ask for? Life was perfect... Until other fillies at her school tell her just how awful her and her daddy were.

When logic and reasoning fail to make a dent in her phobia of snakes, Twilight turns to the one pony who knows more about fear than anypony alive. Fortunately she's happy to help. Unfortunately, Discord is also happy to help in his own way. Now Fluttershy is caught in between a unicorn more frightened than herself and a draconequus all too willing to make things worse.

After getting a taste of his own medicine from Lord Tirek, Discord has decided to take his reformation a bit more seriously. Sure, he has magic and friendship again, but it's clearly not enough to warrant his own throne in Twilight's fancy new castle. In order to earn the coveted throne, he figures that he has to be the best friend he can be.

While scrolling through the Friendship Journal for inspiration and pointers, an epiphany hits him. Since he was reformed, he has never made an honest attempt to make new friends by himself. As the first step on this new journey, he decides to rectify that. And who better to befriend than the other ponies that provided the keys to the chest? It's the perfect plan!

Too bad he doesn't really know what he's doing. Yeah, despite understanding empathy, Discord still has a lot to learn about friendship.

Old prejudices die hard, especially between two immortals.

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.

Discord lost. He was once again turned to stone by the Elements of Harmony and returned to Celestia's little garden. With nothing much to do but wait, he lets his mind wander into the limbo between universes. From there he contacts other Discords in a similar predicament and together they come to a brilliant idea: Ally themselves together and overcome their respective foes!

Today is the day (in a manner of speaking) they organize this alliance.

It all goes as well as you would imagine.

Princess Twilight has taken her place as the newest member of the royal family. After some time Discord becomes Twilights personal advisor and they are driving each other crazy. In more ways than one.

With their partnership comes many changes to Equestria and Twilights political power has started overshadowing the Royal Sisters.
This was Celestia's plan all along, but it doesn't stop there.

This story is a sequel to π

After Twilight Sparkle made her biggest secret public much earlier than she'd originally planned, the lives of the Element-Bearers and their closest friends somehow managed to become even more complicated than they already were. Yet despite the flurry of all of the added activity this brings, Princess Celestia decides to undertake a particularly ambitious project: the reformation of Discord. She delegates the task to Penumbra Noctis, who, more than anypony else, can empathize with the draconequus' situation, and who is therefore best suited to showing Discord the magic of friendship. On the surface, it's a very reasonable plan.

Unfortunately, Discord has never had much patience for reason.

This is the fifth and final story in The Petriculture Cycle. Reading the first four stories, which begin here, is highly recommended.
