Okay, I admit it, I'm probably not your mom. But odds are I'm old enough to be. Now with Patreon account (under alarajrogers) and short stories on Amazon (under Alara Rogers).

Fluttershy is dying of cancer. Twilight has to stay strong, and to keep Discord from falling apart, because there's no one else who can.

Shit Discord knows Anansi the Spider and Coyote!

Hang in there. I've been in almost car wrecks (rollovers), fights that Applejack would call slobbernockers. and bow into 25 foot waves when the boat was only 82 feet long. Wound up with a one year child to raise, and the most frightening thing I have ever heard in my life
was hearing a tech. tell my son " I'm not the pathologist but I have been doing this for twenty years and I don't like the look of this one."
well past the five year mark and so far so good. Luck and good wishes to you.
B.D.

I really enjoy your world-building, and it's great to see some fantastic Twilight and Discord interaction. Additionally, to see you hitting this idea with your own history is something we rarely get to experience, so thank you so much for building more on this and pushing it out.

Turn the Card of Death, and Death is Change

Indeed, The Nameless Card can foretell any great change, and while literal death is a possibility it's far from the only one.
(Most fictional uses of Tarot should be using The Tower when they use it)

Ha, for once I know what's gonna happen! I'm so glad you're using some of your older ideas.

But yeah, this is super good. The Twilight/Discord bromance is really sweet, and I'm a sucker for hurt and comfort. I'm excited for their team up to save Flutters, especially their attempts to contact past Chaos avatars. I'm sure that'll be fun and not at all stressful for them! What's more relaxing than trying to hypnotize your friend so he can talk to chaotic ghosts in a desperate attempt to save his wife?? Talk about great team bonding

I'm glad you're doing better! Cancer's a dick and I'm glad you beat it

The only thing that happened to her when she aged was she got taller and her hair got weirder.

I know it's near-Pinkie levels of inappropriate, but I can't help but imagine Twilight going from confusion to delight to frustration in the space of a few minutes when her ethereal mane comes in.

As for Discord's passive mutagenic potential, I'm not sure. I figure any free radicals he'd give off would be microscopic revolutionaries or nanohippies... but I could definitely see chaotic transformations leaving the target with transcription errors.

I also love how one of Twilight's top priorities was finding a way to replace herself as Equestria's chief executive. She's not falling into the same trap as Celestia. (And heck, she may still be sore about Sunhorse pawning the nation off on her so suddenly.) President Applejack coming in to emphasize that earth ponies aren't second-class citizens is especially fantastic.

Looking forward to seeing where you go with this, especially given that author's note. Sorry for the irreverent tone of the comment; I share Pinkie's coping mechanisms.

Hmm... there's an obvious thing here which is going unspoken, but I figure that's wholly deliberate. As long as they focus on what's in front of them, they don't have to look beyond the horizon.

Neat worldbuilding background, too.
