During a rainstorm, Discord tells Fluttershy about the time he found some rather boring looking islands. At least they were boring looking until he decided to make them a tad more interesting.
Can be read as something that happens after the story Wanderlust or just as a standalone story. The choice is yours. The name of the story came from my friend Sam who had me slapping my forehead because I missed out on an excellent ponified name for a geographical location. So I guess this story is dedicated to him.
Art is mine.

dawww
although the whole "Death is the most boring thing there is because nothing else happens afterwards.”
seems rather harsh...
What a fun one shot!
You have my three favorite characters: Fluttershy, Discord and Tank. We have Discord telling a story, Fluttercord, Science and 
Fantasy combined as one, animals, Turtles and Tortoises! What more could you want?
Great job on this, and keep being fabulous as Rarity would say
I love it! From Clydes Dalewin to the deeply poignant line "thank you for making life interesting". If any place looks like it's been hit with the Discord stick it's that one.
Discord: I am the egg guardian, guardian of the eggs!
Mother Nature: Seals quiver before him!
Discord: *To seal* FUCK OFF!
I've been waiting to do that FOREVER!
I just realized where this inspiration came from.
Love it!
Write and draw forever.
Those pregger Discord comments, right?
I love how intelligent your writing is. I see so much Charles Darwin in here. (And yes, I noticed his ponified name, too!)
I can't decide what my favorite part was. It was all so awesome! Discord insisting that turtles were boring, his flashing to-and-fro as he told the story, his pride at Fluttershy's insistence that he share his stories, his "rusty purple" delusion, his dialogue for Mother Nature, the thought of Discord guarding his turtle eggs like a dragon mama, Fluttershy knowing instantly what animals he was talking about--both the everyday name and its latin name, the science in the story and how you manipulated it to fit the MLPverse, Discord accidentally asking Fluttershy about her opinion on a 'brown pony with gray feet', his obstinance and refusing to fully acknowledge that he loved those eggs, the fact that you have the ponies working on helping Mother Nature after what happened in Wanderlust, Fluttershy giving Discord a KISS (WHOOOOOOOOO), and that last line...
You are a MASTER with last lines, you know that?
Upvoted, favorited, loved!
Still loving the idea of overprotective mother Discord. Very nice!

Discord: Mother of Walking Islands, Khaleesi of Tortoises.

Yes it came from the Broodcord thread. :) But also I like the idea of Discord being the one responsible for variation and adaptation in nature and can't stop writing about it.
5758298 Well, I'm a biologist so I don't believe anything comes after death. I'm not saying it's wrong for people to believe otherwise, it's just what I ascribe to. However, from Discord's point of view it also means "you won't be around anymore for me to play with, and it makes me sad." Being Discord, however, he has to say it to her in a roundabout way.

did you post that twice?
i got two separate messages...
So what is your headcanon take on Discord/Fluttershy ? Would you have him just be immortal and her die one day like in "Forever Young" or make her an alicorn so she would also become immortal? I'm thinking that if he was romantically involved he would have an offspring with her that he would take care for generations to keep him company after she pass away. Another headcanon is that he lose his powers and immortality while his first child aquire them without his knowledge so they actually die as mortals. It would also look natural since even embodiemnt of Chaos need to change and be replaced.

Yeah it told me it didn't show up the first time. Clearly it lied.

In my head, Fluttershy is a mortal pony and Discord is immortal. Of course, none of us actually know if Discord is immortal as it's never mentioned one way or another on the show. We just assume he is. So yeah, I kind of go with the Forever Young take on it, except Discord would likely not give up his immortality given he believes there is "nothing" afterwards.
Death's part of life, and that's what Fluttershy is trying to communicate to him when she tells him she doesn't want her lifespan extended.
I don't have plans to ever write Discord/Fluttershy offspring. For one thing I'm pretty sure I don't want kids so I think I would struggle writing about what it means to be a parent. I enjoy other fics with Dadcord the Troll in them though.

Holy shit.
Please draw this!

Can't promise, because I tend to draw things on a whim due to feeling tired most days after work, but maybe. :)
"Thank you for making life interesting."
I have finally found a moment to read this and this one, simple gesture of gratefulness made it for me. We should always remember to thank people that make our lives gain in color...
A very appealing, cute story. Keep it up.

Thank you so much! Very happy to hear you enjoyed it.
An entertainingly chaotic Discord, in every sense of the word. Thank you for sharing one of his dubious anecdotes.
Floofed up Discord sounds adorable

The rain going into the house vertically bugs me as an editor. It should say horizontally.
Other than that, I love it!

Goodness! You're right! How did I miss that? I'll fix it post haste. Thank you!
So... Was Gerald also a castrato in the UK opera, or do you not know what a gelding is?
600111 lol of course I know, I just have a very twisted sense of humour ;)
5758298 How is that harsh? It's less harsh than telling people there is a burning lake of eternal torment waiting for you after you die just because you think logically.

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it. ^_^
Awesome addition to Wanderlust! Very nice story here. Made me chuckle a bit.
How did I find this?

I don't know...?
I would have gone with Charles Darwhinny myself, but I like your choice too. Oh, and the story. :)
'Gelding' is not a very desirable pony name!
