A Love For Madness

by ShadeJak

How I Would Have Ended It

Okay, not really a chapter but something I felt needed to be covered. It was suggested to me that I post it here, aside from just in my blog:

In a state of destructive writers block, people dropping out, and declined interest, I'm sorry to say I will not be continuing A Love For Madness from the looks of things, but not wanting to leave you all in the dark on what was gonna happen I'm going to describe everything that was going to happen after this point in my Cadance-centered 5s fic "A Love For Madness" that I'd had planned. However, for you who don't want to know everything, or just stuff you want to know, I'll put it all in Spoiler text.

Since this was all the notes I had, a lot of meat and journey and such were never thought out, this is just some skims I had...

1. Cadance in Chicago: Cadance recovers in the Sombra-ruled Chicago, where she grows close to the conflicted fallen King, but is still compelled to find Shining Armor, whom she still has feelings for. Sombra grants her this chance when he learns of the Rainboom and they go to the farm, albeit at different times.

2. The Farm and Meeting Shining Armor: Cadance's interaction with Shining when she is reunited again is left off-screen. She finds him at the end of one chapter, and it transitions to afterward in the next. She realizes that Shining has completely forgotten how he feels about her and moved on to Rarity.

3. After the Meeting: Cadance goes to be alone with her thoughts, still on the farm and preparing to leave, when the Emissary of Chaos(the mare who "saved" her from the mercenaries) appears and reveals she'd been there for days and had witnessed the mane six and how they were relieved Cadance is out of the equation so one of their own could have Shining instead. Cadance abandons the farm to return to Chicago where she rebounds into an affair with Sombra.

5. The Final Battle: Cadance returns to the farm, having remembered her daughter and intends to save her(keeping her goals to herself). When they go to Equestria, she is abducted by the Emissary of Chaos, who transports them to the ruins of the Crystal Palace. There Discord reveals what many of you have probably suspected: The Emissary of Chaos is Cadance's daughter Skyla(or Flurry Heart whatever you wanna call her), now an adult and under Discord's power. Discord leaves them to go fight the Mane Six and orders his lieutenant to kill her mother. Cadance is forced to fight her daughter in a very intense battle all around the ruins of the Crystal Empire until finally the Crystal Heart is found by Cadance in an abandoned wing of the castle. Cadance's love for her daughter empowers it enough that both are thrust into memories of the past, when Skyla was a foal, up to when Discord took her. Discord's control over her daughter is broken, and two are reunited at last just as Discord himself is defeated by the others.

6. Ending: Cadance's friend Alice(who had experienced her own misadventures) arrives in Equestria and meets back up with Cadance, who had kept her daughter a secret from Shining when she spoke to him again. Skyla, fearing the Mane six would try to get rid of her like they did Discord if they ever found out about her due to how powerful she is as an adult and so they can keep Shining from ever learning of her, decides to sneak back to the human world with Alice. Sad to see her daughter go after just being reunited with her, but wanting her to have a happy life now that the nightmare she'd lived under Discord's control is over, Cadance allows her to go, promising once the Crystal Empire is restored, they will all see eachother again, asking Alice to take care of her and to tell her parents on Earth that she is well and will return in two years. Two years later, they are reunited when Cadance visits the human world, glad to see her daughter and friend are well and spends the time there with her earth family, and Cadance has her long-awaited happy ending.

I'm very sorry to everyone who wanted me to write this to the end, but it's just not in me anymore but I hope this has given some of you some closure. If anything I may eventually resume The Tunes Are A-Changin', with a few references here and there to this story.

It's always sad to see a story definitively cancelled, but thank you for the closure.

Too bad you could not finish it, in the end not many managed to end the saga

8140368 Yeah, especially since I had the final fight written out and everything x_x it was just the journey to that point that needed to get fully written and all.

8141204 Maybe you should think it better, put it in hiatus and wait for a future, maybe in a future you decide to finish and complete it.

Just a suggestion

Oh I wasn't asking about why the character could guess the weather. I was saying the 1/3 Pegasus was also the reason for that. Sorry I wasn't clearer about that

The only error in those plans of gours is, to keep this fic canon to 5 score devided by 4 main series, Cadance doesn't return to Equestria during the fight with Discord.

This is because in Velvet Nightfall, which is canon in the series, Cadance eventually ends up with Spike and Spitfire (who're siblings) and is still a pony.

Enjoyed this still and sorry to see it end so soon

i am so sorry to see this story end like this but i totally understand.
there is a new five score story now that is vary interesting as it is a new fresh look at the five score story line.

totally respectable. At least you let us in on your intentions, even if you couldn't figure out how it would all work together because... well, intentions and goals don't always line up with reality. I'd rather have the closure than not at all, so thanks for this and thanks for not leaving it in perpetual hiatus if you really aren't feeling up to it. that would've been way worse in my not-so-humble opinion
TBH, I'm kind of in the same boat with interest. While I will ALWAYS consider myself a diehard brony, it is becoming harder to find stuff related to the fandom that truly interests me. I haven't been on this site in months and another story I was following, ("The King Is Dead, Long Live the Emperor", by bucking nonsense) is on perpetual hiatus, so after I finished reading what's left of that... I lost interest again. All that to say, I get it.
