Broken Spirit is a My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic fanfiction written by Cryssy-miu.The story starts three days after Discord's defeat, with Twilight and her friends at a picnic. All is well…except that their friendship seems to be strained, despite them having recovered from Discord's manipulations and sealed him away once again. Even with their regrets, Twilight is sure that Discord is gone forever.That night, she's proven wrong.In a frantic attempt to stop Discord, an enraged Twilight tries to restrain Discord with a powerful spell—that she loses control of and comes very close to killing him.Taking pity on her foe, Fluttershy takes Discord in to nurse him back to health. Will her seemingly limitless compassion turn Discord from his urges, or is he still the enemy she knew?And were Celestia and Discord always foes, or was there a different, happier time between them in the past?Read it here.Now has a sequel, Distorted Worlds | |

Broken Spirit (Fanfic) / int_125a7a4e | comment |
Dream Weaver: Discord has this ability. He uses it to fight off a horrific incarnation of himself that Fluttershy encounters in her dreams. He's genuinely disturbed when he first sees it. Twilight and Fluttershy use a similar spell (which is implied to be "black magic" by Twilight) to enter a critically injured Discord's dream and learn what happened between him and Celestia. | |

I "Uh" You, Too | |
Broken Spirit (Fanfic) / int_1b4f86c | comment |
I "Uh" You, Too: A running joke in the story is Discord's inability to articulate how much he cares about Fluttershy, despite the fact that he risks his life to save her. It's only after Discord goes back to living with Celestia and Luna that he's able to explicitly state how much he cares for the Pegasus. | |

Ungrateful Bastard: Discord refuses to forgive Twilight for grievously injuring him by accident. Even after she saves his life when he gets a really bad case of blood poisoning and despite her attempts to be cordial towards him, he still antagonizes her every chance he gets. he eventually does come around to forgiving her however. | |

Broken Spirit (Fanfic) / int_5028baf2 | comment |
What Is This Thing You Call "Love"?: Discord provides an interesting example. It's not that he doesn't understand love, it's that he believes that he's lost the capacity for it ever since inadvertently murdering his surrogate parents. When he tells Celestia he's forgotten how to love , she's able help him remember how. | |

The Ageless | |
Broken Spirit (Fanfic) / int_796fa10c | comment |
The Ageless: Celestia, Luna, and Discord (who are treated more or less as Physical Gods) are an interesting version of this: they can never die of old age, but they can be killed by sheer brute force or infectious diseases. This becomes important when Discord gets blood poisoning in an early chapter. | |

Arranged Marriage: King Aegeus and Queen Astraia made the decision to have Discord and Celestia be betrothed when they were children. The two did develop romantic feelings for one another but it all went down hill once Discord's penchant for malicious acts of chaos led to his banishment from the kingdom and his attempted coup of the throne. | |

Lighter and Softer: Played with in the case of Discord. He does mellow out a bit in later chapters, getting a more friendly demeanor and his chaos consisting of lighthearted pranks…but really only towards Fluttershy. He's also a big Jerkass towards Twilight, and Luna for the majority of the story. | |

What the Hell, Hero? | |
Broken Spirit (Fanfic) / int_d39e327f | comment |
What the Hell, Hero?: An odd case; Fluttershy is called out by her friends, but not because she does something morally objectionable, but because she wants to help Discord. Uhhhh… Discord himself does this towards Celestia when she states that "You only got what you deserved" by being imprisoned. He also calls her out for banishing Luna among other things. | |

Vitriolic Best Buds: Discord and Luna have a type II sibling version of this trope going on after they finally reconcile. | |

Staring Down Cthulhu: Fluttershy and Discord in chapter 3. Hard to say who's actually Cthulhu in this case. | |

Affectionate Nickname | |
Broken Spirit (Fanfic) / int_dcd423d2 | comment |
Affectionate Nickname: As the story goes on, Discord starts referring to Fluttershy by the nickname "Flutter Butter". He also uses the names "Tia" and "Lulu" to refer to the princesses, although it is initially done so out of spite. | |

Start of Darkness | |
Broken Spirit (Fanfic) / int_e0040f41 | comment |
Start of Darkness: Played with. Discord was prone to chaos even as a kid, but it started out as simple pranks. He got more callous and sadistic as he grew up, but what really pushed him over the edge was the accidental death of his parents. | |

Manchild | |
Broken Spirit (Fanfic) / int_e150c4c7 | comment |
Manchild: Despite being eons older than any character in the story with the exceptions of Celestia and Luna, Discord is prone to acting extremely immature most of the time, and the way Fluttershy treats him is similar to how a mother would treat a child. | |

Broken Spirit (Fanfic) / int_e3b0cd87 | comment |
Morality Pet: Fluttershy and eventually Celestia and Luna become this for Discord. This point is driven home in the 16th chapter when Discord comes to the realization that they are just as important, if not more important to him than his ability to cause chaos. | |

Broken Spirit (Fanfic) / int_e853bdb8 | comment |
Plagued by Nightmares: Discord has several nightmares stemming from his guilt over inadvertently killing Celestia and Luna's parents. His nightmares only stop when he confesses to the princess's what he did and reconciles with them. | |

Jerkass | |
Broken Spirit (Fanfic) / int_eb8ec7c8 | comment |
Jerkass: Discord's either this or a Jerk with a Heart of Gold, and he switches constantly. Sometimes he manages to be both. To be more specific, he's usually the latter towards Fluttershy, and the former towards practically everyone else. He eventually slides more toward the latter after reconciling with Celestia and Luna but he still retains traits of the former. | |

Earn Your Happy Ending | |
Broken Spirit (Fanfic) / int_f64a9cf7 | comment |
Earn Your Happy Ending: By the end of the story things finally start looking up for Discord. He's able to come to terms with his accidental murder of his parents and confess it to the princesses after eons, reconcile with Celestia and Luna. Forgive Twilight for injuring him, and befriend her along with the rest of the mane cast, and rekindle his relationship with Celestia. It comes after a large amount of struggle on his part but by the end he's defiantly deserved it. | |

Broken Spirit (Fanfic) / int_f8e010ce | comment |
Evil Cannot Comprehend Good: Played with. While Discord isn't portrayed as truly evil, (though he is quite callous and spiteful), he initially just can't imagine why Fluttershy spared his life. He eventually grows out of this somewhat as he comes to like her. | |

Running Gag | |
Broken Spirit (Fanfic) / int_f9f2c33 | comment |
Running Gag: Discord really gets a kick out of eating Fluttershy's dish towels. Also his lovably sarcastic "Oh, GAG" when ever things get too cutesy for him. Since he's living with Fluttershy, this happens often. | |
