Just your average reader and occasional writer. I like exploring 'want of a nail' type scenarios and fallen heroes. For some reason people seem to like my stories. Strange.

For Discord, causing chaos is not a hobby or even his job. It is what he does. So when Tirek offered him an excuse to cut loose from harmony and friendship, only to be rebuffed, Discord went against his very nature. For a spirit like him, this is similar to willingly poisoning himself.

I’ll be honest, I thought this would be way darker and sadder.

Not too shabby. I like it.

Chaos doesn't have to be disharmonious, after all life is chaos and order in equal-ish measures. You'll be fine Discord, but good on you for making such a choice.

Precisely. Much like shadow and light, chaos and order are two sides of the same coin. One cannot exist without the other.

You know, Discord, going against your very nature to do something you wouldn't normally do could be seen as an act of chaos all in itself.

I found this really interesting good job

I admit, not the direction I expected it to go...but a very powerful direction none the less. It also reminds me of the episode where Discord tried to be orderly, and Fluttershy then had to be chaotic. The same sort of message, but in reverse.

Aw, this was a nice lil' read. It's quite charming to read an AU where things are a little bit better.:twilightsmile:

On the other hand; one could argue that being a spirit of chaos and disharmony, Discord going against his core nature is very much in line with his core nature.

Well done! Have an up vote & a follow. The thing about Discord is that he is a spirit of chaos & disharmony, so giving that up should have been more of a sacrifice for him. This really helps to show that.

This is a very accurate sounding Discord. Almost too accurate.

Celestia smiled. “I would certainly hope so. There’s a lot more in your future.”

He perked up questioningly.

This felt like a perfect finishing touch, it's almost like he's baffled that she said that while also wondering if she's telling him the truth in the same line. This is a very well-thought out and crafted fic, SpectralFury! Thanks for writing this!

That works! I saw it rather differently here.

This went deep and emotional, all of which is amazing of how you did it! Really dives down into what Discord could have felt and it's nothing short of being absolutely grand! Nice work with it all! Hope ya didn't mind, but I just had to make a reading of this discordant fic of yours!

(I don't mean to offend anyone with this comment in any way!)

"Why do I get nauseated when I think of you scowling at me again? TELL ME WHY!"

:trollestia: "♪ Ain't nothing but a heartache ♪..."

This is pretty emotional. That's good. I like emotional.

With that description and start I was almost expecting a Discordant Harmony "Discord just poof, dissapears" thing, This was much sweeter, but the pain is still very much there, thanks to that very same expectation (nice bait and switch with the statue there btw)

Wow that is something else here it looks like Discord caught Tirek but apparently he's been having a lot of emotional thoughts and everything why is he feeling like this even Celestia was even surprised why he asked that and she told him he actually care for is friends and I like the conversation between these two it's really nice this was a pretty good story keep up the good work

:facehoof: and then true chaos hit Equestria
:trollestia: I didn't plan for this
:raritystarry: Ruby stop that right now!
:moustache: They've taken over the kingdom!
:flutterrage: Annarchy! Just wait till your father gets home!
:trollestia: The void... I see stars!
:twilightoops: Not the Library !
:trollestia: There goes my cake
:ajbemused: Twilight, Get my rope
:pinkiehappy: It was a great big party!

Excellent work, well done. :twilightsmile:

This was beautiful! Well done, and thank you. :twilightsmile:
I'm kinda surprised this didn't end with a more literal and tangible consequence to giving up his magic, like in Discordant Harmony.

Actually there was another reason why I think Discord should have NEVER taken Tirek up on his offer. Think of the world with Tirek ruling it. There is NO chaos, only despair. It is nothing if not Lawful -- the exact opposite of the Chaos that Discord offers. It is a world completely staid.

Very nice. Wonderful feel to Discord’s emotions.

Yo wow Whoever thought that discord has so much emotional feelings after he captured tirek then he's very confused good thing Princess Celestia help them getting through this it's very nice man just a little heads up maybe you should put a alternate universe tag on it

IMO Discord is not Chaos. he is Discord.
It is an important distinction. A few well placed discordant notes can serve to emphasize a greater harmony.

I'm kinda disappointed.

I liked this. A lot. Discord doing the right thing and re-imprisoning Tirek in Tartarus, is simply Discord being Chaotic and Disharmonious to his own nature. You can't get more Chaotic and Disharmonious than that! Friendship IS Magic. It would tip the scales so that Chaos and Disharmony would work in favor OF Harmony. And if, as it seems, Discord Loves Fluttershy, well what is LOVE but a very special kind of Friendship where you put your Special Somepony's needs before your own simply because you Love them more than you love yourself? I think Cadance would applaud. In fact, I think that moment shook her all the way up in the Chrystal Empire.
This story isn't as cool as Twilight going head to head against Tirek, but I think it's actually better. Think you can do a great one where Celestia Doesn't decide to retire!?

Greetings. Your reading has been completed and can be found below. I hope you enjoy.

I know she wasn't there, but that really should have been Cadance's line.
