Discord's reformation has left him both elated and confused. He didn't really know how to be anything other than a villain. Wandering around the castle one day, he experiences a flashback of his life before he became the villain, when he was just a silly teenager in love with a woman far out of his league. His flashback paralyzes his body and causes him to whack his head off Celestia's throne, concussing him and leaving him bedridden until he recovers. He requests a visit with his only friend, the pony who reformed him, Fluttershy. As Fluttershy tends to Discord's wound, Discord starts to feel a strange tug in his heart that he thought he'd never feel again. It doesn't make any sense to the draconequuis, but then again.... What's the fun in making sense?

OK, I'm horrible at understanding messed up sentences. "Mess sends an undertaker"? Please translate

Fluttershy's saying " 'Best Friend' is an understatement." but Discord's fur is muffling her voice. Discord can't hear her properly.
I was going to reveal that in a later chapter, but I felt bad leaving you out of the loop on it, so I'll just tweak a few chapter elements.
After all, what fun is there in making sense?
Well well well this is an interesting story so far. The spelling and grammar have zero errors that I can notice. I rarely notice them unless they stick out or I get lucky and my eyes decide to go hey an error. The plot is great so far. Seeing these flashbacks is nice. I believe the growth within this story is going to be great. I look forward to reading more.
Does this sound to formal. I'd hate to sound so formal It seems my train of though got a bit jumbled up. I blame my cat who meowed at me and wanted to jump on my lap. I also blame me for not being a professional reviewer. Bad me. Bad me. Right where was I? Mustache!!
2096378
Hahahaha, I love this. Mustache power, activate!
But anyway, thanks a lot for your comment. I love it when someone enjoys my stories. And I love it when I stump grammar Nazis. I am quite a grammar Nazi myself, and I do my damndest to make sure I have a well-written story to capture the eye. I do hope you'll stick around, the second chapter is almost ready to be posted, just needs a little more... oomph.

I can't really say I'm a grammar Nazi. To be one I believe I'd need to be rather strict on pointing any errors out or having a keen eye for noticing them. Neither I have. Personally when it comes to others grammar or spelling I'm rather lax since I'm rather good at understanding what they mean most of the time. I may take the time to correct what I write when I can notice my own errors. A thing I like about the comment feature on this site since it tells me when I spelt something wrong. Only time I actually bother with pointing the errors with others is when I'm reading a story.
I take pride in the art of story telling. It is rather difficult to weave the words correctly to make a beautiful picture in the reader's mind. A single error in grammar or spelling can easily shade the story in the wrong color or just make the reader confused about what is happening. Each word needs to be put in exact place and have the correct amount of passion behind it like a chisel on a block of stone carving out a great statue. The sentences need to entrance and flow like a brush carrying the right color of paint. Each stroke giving the right amount of paint to show ones image.
Wow I started to ramble there. Ha seems I can be a bit too passionate about writing and I like to use my silver tongue a bit. I am glad you do your best to make a story that is well written to catch the eye. I'll definitely stick around. Like I said this story is interesting since the plot has such great potential and I always enjoy a good Discord Fic that looks at his past. Also you have great skills in writing.
Sorry if this comment is long. I tend to go on and on at times.

Speaking of later chapters...
WHEN???
2097463
Chapter two is set to upload later today or early tomorrow. I need to fix a few things and slow down the narrative a little. I accidentally made the story run far too fast.
2097381
Okay, I like you. You're my new best friend.
Well that relationship happened faster then expected. Not sure if it is to fast or not. Since the relationship doesn't seem the main focus. The main focus seems more of how these feelings bring back painful memories for Discord. I can see Discord falling or making emotions rather quickly considering he is chaos and emotions create a lot of chaos. Also a shock to see such a naughty Fluttershy. It kinda threw me for a loop. But I guess you should beware the quiet ones.
Other then that little bit. The story is well written. I find Discord's conversations with himself rather interesting. Also with each memory of his past I just want to see more of it. Darn my curious nature. Well good job on anther good chapter. I wish there was an emote of Discord and his epic beard. Well there is always the mustache.
Also I hear you on that snow. I ended up shoveling snow that was around my waist.
2098957 I was snowed into my house. I had to climb out a window to start shoveling it away from my front door. Don't even get me started about trying to shovel out my car. I COULDN'T FIND MY CAR UNTIL I HIT IT WITH THE SHOVEL.
There's a $300 dent in my front bumper now. 
As for the chapter, yes, that was the point. Discord's emotions are causing chaos within himself, rather than Discord causing chaos in the world around him. Reforming to good meant internalizing a lot of the magic that he would have normally expended causing havoc throughout Equestria, and without an outlet for that magic, it internalizes onto himself, causing these nasty flashbacks and causing his accelerated realization of his feelings for Fluttershy. Basically, it was his reformation into good that is causing all this havoc within himself. Later chapters will explore more extreme effects these internalized bursts of magic will have on him. Maybe they'll find some healthy way for Discord to expend all his wacky chaos energy? WHO KNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWS? STAY TUUUUUUUUUUUUNED!
Glad you enjoyed!
I love this, please update constantly!!!

Doing my best! Can't give you an exact timeline for chapter three's release, as tomorrow it may very well be me going to work in the morning to work a nine hour shift and then come home smelling like grease and collapsing into my bed to sleep until the next day. But I'm workin' on it!
A few things...

2. THANK YOU FOR THE UPDATE

Ha to see Fluttershy do that to Discord is far to hilarious. Another great chapter. I look forward to seeing that oh so interesting book about Discord. Keep up the great work.
I already love the way that your words just flow onto the page( an atribute that i waould kill for) so far you have widely impressed me with your story telling. you made me feel exactly what Discord felt and that is a powerful tool in the arsenal of a good writer. I hope to get to read more of your stories in the future and i am sorry my comment is a little short. Thanks for the story
-ElementOfHope
Well that escalated quickly...lolz jk
still this was pretty good...kinda skiped through the whole "intamate" part but still...love this quote right here...You either die a hero, or live long enough to see yourself become the villain. And there's no vice versa for that...fit ;ike a glove so to speak and also you used my favorite song by the living tombstone( wonder if i spelled that right) another great chapter thanks again
-ElementOfHope
just noticed that the chapters a references to songs.
so sad.
just want to say i love this story again and i'm a little sad that theres not another new chapter for me to read
Anyway this was another home run and sorry i can't write more today. runing late
The ever Enigmatic
-ElementOfHope
I think this is slowly becoming my favorite Discoshy piece! Your Discord is very adorable, but I wonder if you have something much darker in mind for him, hmm?
I'm excited for the next chapter and it's hard to wait, but please take as much time as you need; I'm really enjoying this story!
Love it
*Fav*
I'm luvin this plz get the next chapter up soon
I thank all of you for your kind and wonderful comments. I'm looking forward to putting the fourth chapter up soon, but due to circumstances beyond my control (namely, lack of wifi), it's going to be a while yet. I hope you all see me through to the end~~!!
2165372
To answer you specifically, yes, the next chapter is very, very dark. I'll give you a hint. If you hate blood, death, sadness, or references to such, you may want to skip it.
History is written by the victors...prior to recordable media.
I have a feeling that this section is part of an Equestrian propaganda book.
2183417
It's more of a book written by a survivor of Discord's rule, but you're right, it's pretty propaganda-ish. But it is a generally accurate description of Discord's rule of Equestria, even if it is pretty dark. And it is true that history is written by the victors.
As a lovely Broadway musical states, "A man's called a traitor, or liberator, a rich man's a thief or philanthropist, is one a crusader, or ruthless invader, it's all in which label is able to persist! There are precious few at ease with moral ambiguities, so we act as though they don't exist~"
2185778
I never said the story would be entirely happy.
Why did you put the author's note at the bottom? I read the whole chapter before seeing that.
2193456
Because the site automatically puts it at the bottom.
2247053
)
Oh that stinks. It would have been good to have a warning before I read the whole thing just to know what I was getting into. Next time, could you just have it as part of the chapter, just so people know it's going to be darker? (Great chapter BTW
The plot (hehe plot) very nice
I WANT MORE!!!! 
That was amazing! BUT ITS NOT FINISHED!!!
I cant wait for more! How soon untill the next one?
Oooooohhhhhh!!!
Things are gettin' sexyyyyyyyy!
Ive read the chapter after this! I really hope things will get better. (And Steamyer X3 Yep Im that kinda pony!) 
2307872
Thanks for all the love! I'm working on chapter 5, but it's slow going thanks to a series of unfortunate family events that are keeping me and ol' Discy separate for now.
2323336Oh! Well Ihope everything gets better!
Great job, yet again
2829220
Well, thank you. I appreciate the comment. :)
Good chapter! Was glad to see the update.
2830086
So sorry it was so late! SO many issues come with being all grow'd up. I'm doing my best, though! Thanks for the comment, I really appreciate it. :)
THOU SHALT EARNEST MOE FAME SOON, WE AQUIRE THEE WILL!
2855631
I'm pretty sure you didn't do any of that correctly. I believe the phrase you're looking for is, "Thou shalst earnest the fame thou desirest most sooneth. We acquire thine will, and thy will be done."
2855685 I SHALL NOT CARE, LET ME JUST SWITCH OVER TO MODERN DAY CAPSNYVILLE. I INDEED FAILED MISERABILLY.
2855814
WOO FOR FAILURE! I GUESS.
2855924 WOOOZOOH FOR- wait, what are you doing still up this late? Lay off the cafeinne and higher grades of sugar son.
(in case you ain't catchin' my drift yet:)
2856017
"Up this late"? It's only 8PM. I'm 21, I think I can stay up past 8PM and not be affec--
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.....
2856059 the magical 8PM. We are obviously in different time zones. It was 3 after zeh moon reached it's higest peak in the sky where I live.
2859661
VERY different time zones. I live on the East Coast. You must live in like, Europe or something. Or the West Coast. But that would put you three hours behind me, wouldn't it? 8PM my time is like, 5PM California time.
Looks like there's something going on between Discord and Fluttershy! Onwards to Chapter 3!
Mini-Discord... LOL
2859700
Only something going on? I thought I made it quite obvious. WARNING NOW: Chapter 4 is pretty grimdark. The author's note system puts my chapter warnings automatically on the bottom, AFTER you've already read the chapter. I got a few complaints about that....
The way how you set the last scene so far was just perfect. Can't wait for more!
