What's a Belnotté?

Belnotté is the name of the nightmare queen. Technically it came from 'Bella Notté' meaning beautiful night. But the former sounded a little more intimidating for a villain.
This is a rather interesting concept, and I think you executed it well! Everything seemed to make sense in this AU—Discord's own path to goodness indirectly leading to Fluttershy finding the Nightmare Forces didn't feel forced. The fight scene went fairly well, I think, and I think how conflicted and guilty Fluttershy feels after being saved. Her heart-to-heart with Discord was sweet, and it was good seeing them establish a friendship even with the roles of reformer and reformed reversed.

It's what holds the bell on the belropè.
I really enjoyed this reversal of roles! It's a super interesting idea, making Discord the reformer. Poor Fluttershy. She has a long way to go but she's got everything she needs. The part at the end when Discord wrapped his wings around her. My heart! I honestly want a sequel to this, a years later window, if you will, showing how far Fluttershy has come and a possible something more with our favorite draconequus hero. You know a story is good when you love it the way it is but would love to see more too. Great job!
