Discord figures out a way to free himself from his prison. Retirement. Now he just needs a heir.
Discord has given up. Defeated so easily? It's time to retire. But he can't just leave Equestria without chaos can he? So he selects a random human to take up his mantle and to create a new reign of chaos.
Can this human manage new powers? Will he go mad or he will he end up as a statue for foals to gawk at? Is there a third option? Not very likely but with this much power he's going to try his best to create chaos and harmony at the same time.
I do promise to try and keep this light hearted and relatively comedic. Oh right I wrote this in response to the 50 000 word pony story contest. I failed horribly but I thought I'd post what I've got up here. I do plan on finishing this and it being around 50 000 words in the end.
A little warning for you in that the prologue is written very differently then the rest of the story. Also it is mostly unnecessary if you want to skip it altogether. The other thing I promise is that the romance is between ponies only and ponies that appear in the show.
Crystal Synergy used to be a middle-aged brony before she appeared in Ponyville in a bolt from the clear blue sky. She only wants to help...
"Crystal Synergy used to be a middle-aged brony before she abruptly appeared as a young filly at the spot where lightning had struck the ground out of the clear blue sky, roughly two years before the Sonic Rainboom. She only wants to help. What could possibly go wrong?"
"I can't believe you just said that, Pinkie..."
Crystal has lived ten years with fading memories about My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic canon and fanon, the first two of which were spent unable to make any but the most illegible notes as she tried to keep them separated in her head. Not helping matters is the fact that while things mostly seem to be lining up with what she thinks is canon, there is a difference between events as presented in the thirty-minute blocks of a show aimed at a younger demographic (and intended to help sell toys) and living in that setting as a real world with a dynamic history. And she's not quite sure which version of Equestria she's actually in, but things seem to be just enough like what Crystal Synergy believes to be canon that she thinks she has a fair idea of what may happen, and how to help navigate or circumvent some of the more worrying problems looming on the horizon.
A little foreknowledge couldn't hurt, right?
A little foreknowledge can prove to be a very dangerous thing indeed. Especially when you aren't sure which bits of foreknowledge are actually true. And just ignoring the foreknowledge doesn't help either, because some of it is true...
A bit of a grab bag of categories: AU and Human should be self explanatory, but Random was selected because the story fluctuates between serious and silly, adventure and slice-of-life, and black-and-white values vs. blue-and-orange values.

As the revolutionary fight of the gods reaches its climax, Atlas is caught up in a race against time. He will have to work together with his old friends to pull off a miracle before it's too late.
It's not every day a pony asks for sex in the middle of battle, especially one this cute.
Doomie, like most of his brothers, hasn't eaten in a while. So, when a random pink pony asks for him to "do her" and intercourse love is the tastiest kind of love out there, and the pony herself looks pretty pretty: How could he refuse?
Author's diary: DEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAR diary. There is not enough Doomie pie fanfics out there....That is all.
Chrysalis' evil Mane Six clones survived their encounter with the Tree of Harmony. Reforming them is proving to be a more difficult task than expected.
Like any good Princess of Friendship, Twilight Sparkle always tries her best to reform and befriend villains. Things are a little different, though, when the villain is you. Er, sort of, anyway. Reforming the evil clones of her and her friends made by Chrysalis is hard! Maybe it's time to call in the big guns...
A story written as a prize for Tangerine Blast, who took third place in this year's version of my CuddleFic Contest and wanted a story where the evil Mane Six survive, and where Evil Twilight pals up with Pinkie Pie!
EDIT: Non-mature featured 4/24/19! (Will it make the standard feature box? We'll see~)

ps: This story contains some drawings made by me. It's not a comic, each chapter has one or two sketches showing some particular fact from each chapter.

When I’d managed to finish that birdbath a few days ago, I have never, not even in my wildest dreams—not in a million lifetimes—would I ever seen an alicorn floating around inside of it.”
(Because of popular demand this story has been placed on the incomplete list, also Chapter titles and name has been edited to better represent the story. Thanks to Jakomi of the Rose for the name suggestion.)

Getting cryptic notes from dead relatives is never a good thing. This was no exception. What are you supposed to do when someone wants you to solve a mystery when there's something out in the woods? That turns out to be the least of my problems.
My name is Lottie.
When my Grandpa died, I never expected any more really drastic changes in my life. Maybe I would've been more prepared.
Clues and whispers aren't going to be enough on their own. Sometimes you just have to get your hands dirty, set things in motion yourself, no matter how weird they get.
And boy, do things get weird.
And on a completely unrelated note, word on the street in Ponyville is that there's something in the woods.
Takes place between seasons 3 and 4. I starting writing this a long time ago.
The exploration of the Gryphon Kingdom and the love between a human and a griffin. While securing trade routes, Gilda reminisces how the humans arrive, the trials they face together, and the one who stole her heart. Set in the Gentlemanverse.
When Equestria accidentally opened a portal to another world, they discovered a new species: humans. Their arrival changed the world. For the Equestrian Ponies, it heralded a great cultural and technological jump needed from their stagnating way of life. For the Gryphons, however, they represented something baser: an opportunity to increase food stock and finally have a 'friendlier' predator species to ally themselves with.
For Gilda, one of the the humans was Ancestor-sent, a soul she would protect for bringing much joy to her life. And when a chain of events force her to accompany her human to Equestria, she recalls the circumstances of their meeting, the trials they pass through, the friendship forged through fire, and love born out of understanding under the harsh skies of the Kingdom.

Somepony is presenting Fluttershy's pert pegasus posterior to peddle pony pronography! Panic!
Fluttershy's such a sweet, innocent, naive little pony. She's probably never even looked at a stallion! ...so why is her butt plastered all over the front of the DVD case Pinkie Pie just found? Surely there's a good explanation for this, our heroes just have to figure out what it is. There's no way Fluttershy's actually a porn star. ...right?
Update 3/19/2021: A couple days after publishing this story, and after Fluttershy injected a hacking payload into the mainframe utilizing a quantum subspace frequency modulation algorithm, we were able to access hidden meta-data for this data endpoint and successfully remove ourselves from the causality loop. I am writing this message to preserve our efforts before we sever the connection, in the off chance that something like this ever happens again. With Love and Friendship, Twilight Sparkle.
Fluttershy has tried being patient and she's tried the cute routine. But a mare has needs. She wants in your pants. And pony logic dictates that finding your fetish is the way to do it.
A collection of short stories about fetish guesses.
It's Hearts and Hooves Day, and Fluttershy has received a heartfelt letter from a secret admirer! But to her fortune and/or dismay, Rarity has taken it upon herself to help discover who this secret admirer may be. And so with a bit of mystery and magic, they embark on a journey that fills up a healthy portion of the afternoon.
Time has forgotten him, but when Luna returns from the moon, he comes back to Equestria. What zany adventures will this ancient being get into once he returns to a peace-loving land?
Ages ago, Firefly flew across the Rainbow, to find help in dealing with Tirek. She came back with a human, Megan Williams. The Diplomat to Ponykind, wielder of the Rainbow of Light.
That was not the only help the wild magic of the land brought forward.
A human appeared near a magical fountain, near a mare that carried two fillies inside her. Armed with a sword that could slay anything and unending life thanks to said fountain, this second human came back with the mare to Dream Valley, and earned a reputation as The Sword, for he defended Ponykind against the darkness when the Diplomat could not soothe things over.
That was two ages ago. Time moved on. The Windigoes came. The Unification happened. Discord happened. The Crystal Empire happened. And the human remained by his foster daughter's side through all of this.
Until Nightmare Moon happened, and he nearly raised his sword against his daughter.
So he left, to seek solace, to seek guidance from the world itself from what he'd nearly done. But when the mark on the moon vanished, the human took note of that...and the day that happened afterwards.
Now...he's come home.
ADDITIONAL TAGS: Adventure, all the ponies. This is essentially a rewrite with one more character being added into the mix, to see what happens. He's not a 'seventh element of harmony.' I will admit in later chapters he might seem overpowered, but remember...
Whatever magic you practice...has a price. He just has the ability to bounce back from almost anything...eventually.
Warning: There will be sex in later chapters. And this is another story the Ausbrony and I have written together. Rather than seperate it out, I'm just gonna tag it Mature now.
EDIT: Featured on the DAY it was posted. My fans are nuts. In a good way.
