With Twilight's spirit broken, Discord is ensured conquest of Equestria. Celestia is helpless to stop him, but part of her selfishly yearns for the romance they shared in her youth.

UPDATE: After being challenged by Godzillafan01 to write a positive Discolestia fic, I decided to add more chapters,

Shining Armor comes home from being stationed aboard with a fiancé and Twilight is not at all happy about it. Why would anypony fall in love with such an arrogant jerk?

Nothing in this fic is canon. I started it before the finale, but I wasn't able to finish until long afterward.

Discord's back to haunt Twilight for imprisoning him a second time. Has he found a new way to escape? Some unexpected allies come in to stop the draconequus forever, but are Twilight Sparkle and the others willing to pay such a price?
