This story is a sequel to The Mare Who Became Queen
Day Two of Fluttercord Week 2021 (Vacation)
For the first time in forever, Fluttershy and Discord finally take a relaxing trip together. And what better place to relax yet have fun than Saddle Arabia? Or so they thought. For some reason, the Saddle Arabians have been acting rather strangely around them ever since they've arrived.
Sorry for the lack of cover art:( If you’re interested in making a cover art for this story, let me know here on Fimfiction because I would love some cover art for this bad boy^^

Chapters (1)
Oh my...a surprise sequel! And a very good one!
I loved seeing Fluttershy and Discord having fun together as tourists...and their surprise when they realize their resemblance to Queen Ester and King Xerxes. Oh, and the detail of the Forget-Me-Not flower being a gift from Discord (and maybe a romantic one 
) was a sweet detail.
I like how The King slowly revealed more of his draconequus features as he told the story...and also how he clearly has some of Queen Ester's personality—the animals love him, the plants seem to like him, and he becomes shy towards the end.
Ah hahaha!
I love this part, it made me laugh out loud.
I have to wonder if Discord is going to take advantage of his resemblance to Xerxes and the Saddle Arabian's respect to do things like skip more lines, or get him and Fluttershy good seats in restaurants and such.
AHHHHHH!!! OMG OMG OMG!!!
Esther and Xerxes are back!! (In a way)
This is the best day ever 😁😁😁
Truly everything in this fanfic is beautiful and I LOVE it .
This feels like another great epilogue for the original story
Oh now, this was a treat!
Well, the Shark has finally gotten off her lazy rear to comment on this story. First things first. (Or I suppose in this case, last things first.)
*Chuckles* Fun Fact for anyone reading this comment: My initial idea for the King of Saddle Arabia was based off another very famous fictional horse. I won't say who, but his color should be a pretty big giveaway.
Also, wow. I didn't realize my little idea played that big a part in the overall story. I'm honored.
Which is why it does pain me to say I do have a few criticisms to make. The first is a grammar/punctuation one that cropped up several times in the story.
Since Discord is still talking even if it's a new paragraph, you need to lose that second set of quotation marks. It should read:
Otherwise, I read thinking someone else has started talking, and it "throws off my groove" so to speak, when I suddenly read that the same character is still talking. Side note: I noticed this seemed to happen mostly with Discord's dialogue. *chuckles* Coincidence? (I think not.)
My second criticism is more theme-related.
Ehhhhh, I'm not really sure how I feel about this aspect of the story. To have Celestia as the stand-in for God in the first story, and then have that turn out to essentially be a lie ... I don't know, I feel like that kind of spits in the face of the original story's message. I'm not sure what you were going for, but that's how it came across to me.
However, that aside, I did enjoy watching the Odd Couple interact with the King, your explanation regarding his "name," and how you included his ... additions. If you don't mind, I might just steal those additions when and if he ever pops up in my own work.
Fun Fact: I didn't really have a voice picked out for the King, but I think your story just changed that. For some reason, every time I read his parts in your story, I kept imagining him sounding like Aslan from the Focus on the Family Radio Theater version of The Chronicles of Narnia. (I found the whole series posted here if you're curious and haven't heard it before. If you haven't, I highly recommend it as it's a spectacular adaptation.)
AWWW. This story left me with the warm fuzzies
