History WMG / PonyPOVSeries

Not to say that Trixie wouldn't fight for her friends with every iota of will in her body, but she knows when to fold and ask for help, and she knows when to push even harder than she ever has before. Sort of [[GurrenLagann the Simon to Twilight's Kamina.]] This may make the case for her being an Element of Magic stronger, but she did tap into her Element as Magic, she would be conditionally choosing it instead of it choosing her.

** Considering [[LikeABadassOutOfHell what happened last time she died]], that probably won't work out nearly as well as Discord expects it to.

[[WMG: Princess Gaia has free reign rules over the Everfree Forest]]
Given that Sunnytown is within vicinity of the forest, and that Flutter-, ahem, Princess Gaia, is bent on seeing to it that the town is freed of their curse, this is very probable.
That, and also possibly owning The Castle of the Two Sisters might result in giving her closure to her time as Nightmare Whisper.

* Daint ("Light and slim", FailOSuckyName and loaded with UnfortunateImplications, specifically SissyVillain and BuryYourGays. Very unlikely)

Plus, the fight could be personal as his evil plan with the fog seems to be a TakeThat towards [[spoiler:Princess Gaia.]]

* Alternatively they do survive but are completely broken by the experience of 1000 years as {{Complete Monster}}s.

Considering the fact that Discord has already become a {{Complete Monster}} in the main timeline, this already seems to be confirmed beyond any shadow of a doubt.

* I dunno, it's gonna be really hard to pull off something like this. This Discord already reached the CompleteMonster rank, so as readers, already that's one strike against potential redemption. Second, we have had quite a few different characters redeemed, but imagine how hard it will be to get a Draquonus who not only killed his own family and helped ignite a war of the gods and rubbed it in Celestia's face, but also proved unrepentant even after years of just doing Chaos, so he's not exactly bound to get bored of Chaotic evil. Further, notice how he keeps railing against any memory of Love, and since in so many of these situations LoveRedeems, this is gonna be a long-shot indeed.

* Comfirmed...sort of. [[spoiler:Makarov does reapppear, in a {{Flashback}} to his Changeling genocide. Also, in a way, he's the BiggerBad of the arc, as his actions were what let Chrysalis [[PeggySue see the heart world and fix the flaws in her plans.

[[WMG: Strife and Mortis were once part of a political Marriage]]

It will turn out that, by both breaking from the heart world AND Shining and Cadence defeating the wolf, Chrysalis will have been able to get away with her more egregious acts that defied the timeline. NiceJobBreakingItHero.

* Possibly jossed... Possibly not, given that Chrysalis is ''acting a lot like Makarov was''...

[[WMG: Makarov will return in the Royal Wedding arc.]]
Okay, stick with me while I lay this out. Since we all know we haven't seen the last of Makarov in Shining Armor's arc, it stands to reason he'll try some more to capture or kill him. My theory is, he'll try repeatedly, causing him to start suffering SanitySlippage with each failure. This, combined with the increasing unstable political situation caused by his attempts, will lead to the Hooviet leadership (whoever operates under the Father Deer figurehead) to attempt to relieve Makarov of command at the end of the arc, causing him to go [[RenegadeRussian rogue]]. Then at some point between the end of this arc and the Royal Wedding arc, he'll run into Chrysalis, who'll talk him into an [[VillainTeamUp alliance]], helping her impersonate Cadence in exchange for another chance at revenge against Shining ''and'' the opportunity to weaken Equestria from within and open it up for a Hooviet invasion, granting him a chance to reclaim his position. Who'll double cross who first is up to debate.
* Alternately, they won't team up, but Chrysalis will be DiscOneFinalBoss to Makarov, by benefit of Applejack's [[LivingLieDetector Truth vision]] exposing Chrysalis early on, leaving the rest of the arc to Makarov.

* It will turn out that, by both breaking from the heart world AND Shining and Cadence defeating the wolf, Chrysalis will have been able to get away with her more egregious acts that defied the timeline. NiceJobBreakingItHero.

[[WMG: If there's a Season Three in this storyline, things are going to be very different]]
So much of it either can't happen or will need to shift to fix itself now the storyline is a bonafide AU, no longer following the heart world. And this is a good thing, for there will be a massive amount of creativity required to work in any canon events. And the alternatives? [[OriginalFlavor Completely new ideas]].

Fitting given the general themes of freedom this fic has had underlying that the fic itself can now be completely free to go whatever way it wishes to go. And that simply means that readers can't know what to expect. And no matter where you stand on season three, I think it's fair to say that's an exciting prospect for all us shadows that watch, and those of us that make.

And are aware of the potential excitement, of course.

* Doubt ("To disbelieve, to be a heretic, infidel, atheist", it's the seventh Element of Chaos, counterpart to Trust, and an awesome reference to [[Fanfic/FaithAndDoubt]]. The one concept that would abhor Natural Law, possibly due to being the Concept of Atheism, and a very good indicator of Havoc's view about his son. ''Extremely likely.''

D___t: Doubt. That which opposes Heaven (and Hell).
Strife: Cruelty. Natural selection is cruel.
Anarchy: Deception. The one Draconequus who has gotten away with lying to his Parents, isn't that right ________ ?
Destruction: Rage. When he [[UnstoppableRage loses]] [[TheBerserker control]]... things tend to explode.
Pandora: Desire. [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin So says the birth certificate.]]
Discord: Tragedy. His entire existence is best described as pain & failure. He's had more friends than any other Concept, but he's also lost more friends than any other Concept.

Rancor: Betrayal. Which makes you wonder...
