Tirek continued to laugh, mocking him, mocking them, and Discord felt an anger like no other burn him up deep inside. He shook with rage and just focused his gaze on the ponies and the little dragon in the cage. Blue eyes met crimson and that's when a yowl tore from Discord's throat.
What if the battle with Tirek had a different outcome, that nopony in Equestria could have predicted in their wildest dreams?

I'm moved, like to the left slightly.
4458639 I was so honestly confused at first but that made me laugh. Thank you! XD
wow that was good. I may cry.
HOW COME I CAN SIT THROUGH A MILLION CREEPY PASTA WITH A NEUTRAL EXPRESSION YET PONY FICS MAKE ME TEAR UP????????
4459172 PONIES INVOKE A LOT OF EMOTIONS MAN I FEEL YOU
4459209 SERIOUSLY I CAN READ CUPCAKES WITH A SMILE BUT THIS JERKS TEARS????
I'm not entirely sure what emotion I'm feeling right now, but I don't enjoy it.
You monster, you've made me like Discord more than I did before. How did you even do that, like really...?
... Why didn't Discord jump Tirek as he was draining the magic?
4459664 His magic? He was far too weak. He'd just been beaten
4459714
No, Twilight's magic... even if he can't physically jump onto his back, he can at least stab his claws into his hooves, right?
I admit it, that really touched me. Deeply inside. Not enough to cry, but I still can feel a lump in my throat while I write these lines. That was amazing. Action and emotion all at once. Seriously, great job.
4459830 Well he was being kinda crushed to death and was losing consciousness. And I'm quite certain with Tirek's size it would only feel like a mosquito bite
OMFG!!
aaaall those tears in my eyes slipped down on my bed ... everythings wet now
OOOOH GOOOOOOOOOOD
MY FEEEEEEEEEEEELLS
Might wanna fix that.
Otherwise? Very good effort.
This certainly brought the feels. I think this is probably one of my favorite of the finale-inspired stories. I do kinda wish you'd done the version where he survived, because I really do like your hurt/comfort fanfics, but sometimes stories should end tragically, and I applaud you for having the courage to do it.

... How is he being crushed to death? Tirek's completely ignoring him.
4461486 Oh I thought you meant when he was in his fist. Bear in mind Discord was just dropped from quite a height and he's already weak. Plus Tirek's size at this point is hundreds of feet above him and Discord is the size of a hamster. He wouldn't even be able to inflict damage with no magic (as at this point he has none). Even if he did bite him it'd be no more than a mosquito bite through hooves that big and thick
4461471 It somehow felt like it would have more of an impact if he did die, horrible as I felt writing it. I expected to get a lot of hate for killing a character (and I kinda have) so I was scared to put this story up tbh. xD; Because I know how much Discord is loved..
This story hit me right in the feels. You've got good aim. But... if I put the feels aside there are some issues.
Characterization was... off. Discord was the Self Sacrificial Knight and was much too consistent for a Spirit of Chaos. Even if he felt a need to redeem himself he's not stupidly chivalrous. If he has a debt to pay back I don't believe that he would attempt to compensate through a seemingly useless gesture. What is the point of trying to pay someone back if you fail? No - I believe the episode was more in character for him. Then again I believe he was manipulating everyone throughout the entire episode (and planned to have his power stolen), so it is what it is.
Overall I liked the fic, I just think you idealized things too much.
The Opinion of
- A simple Extra
4461836
Yeah... still. Better than standing in front of him imo... but Discod never did make sense.
4461845
I feel like there's three ways to kill a character. If a character is killed because the author doesn't like them, that's hateful, and I despise it. Even if the character is a villain, it is generally quite hateful. If the character is killed as an afterthought, or as part of someone else's story (the infamous "women in refrigerators" issue, though in MLP fandom it would be more likely a guy in a refrigerator), I would expect fans of that character to be up in arms, although those who are not fans of that specific character probably wouldn't care. But if the character is killed by an author who loves the character, who is trying to write an emotionally satisfying or heartwrenching death for that character, that's entirely different. I love those stories, even if they are very painful. (As long as they're well written. I've seen a few where the author's sympathy was obviously with the character who died, but the whole thing was just written so badly or with so little regard for the character's abilities... like a fan-written sequel to Cupcakes where Pinkie kills Fluttershy and Discord, in which apparently you can disable Discord's powers by tying his fingers together so he can't snap them. Funny how often I see Discord use his powers without snapping his fingers, then... That one was just terrible.)
You're probably right that the whole sacrifice thing is stronger if he dies. It's hard to do; I know from personal experience. I killed off Q in a fanfic once as a heroic sacrifice and he wouldn't shut up about it afterward. (I had to do a followup where he wrote a letter to Picard just before he died, because otherwise the character kept nagging me in my head, complaining about being dead. :-))
That almost made me cry =(
Friends to the end... the end
And Discord's head went limp, falling backwards until his horns dragged upon the dirt. His body held up entirely by the minor strength of a crying, butter yellow pegasus. His tongue shot out of his mouth and lolled to the side, making a 'blegh' sound as it did so. The simple act seemed to confuse the girls, silencing their tears.
"I can't help him," Princess Celestia said "because he isn't hurt."
Discord groaned. "Thanks a lot Tia! You always know how to ruin my fun..."
AND THEY ALL LIVED HAPPILY EVER AFTER!
AND NO ONE DIED!
EXCEPT TIREK!
BECAUSE HE IS A MEANY POOPY BUTT!
AND I AM NOT CRYING!
The feels...(cries)
THEEEEE FEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELS!!!
*Sniff*
NO, I'M NOT GONNA DO IT, DAMMIT!
Third story I've seen that has this cover image. Here's to hoping that the fandom doesn't turn this into another "crying Rainbow Dash."

Fluttercord.....
Way to put me in shock and want to cry for hours on end... Well done.
So sad
. And ... and they loved each other
4469307
Maybe not. It could be friend-love. I prefer it that way. And see? No romance tag.
4468690 Ditto, baby.
awww sad D:
but it was really well written like all your stories and honestly i could not think of another ending for this. but don't let that stop you from making a sequel to bring him back :P
now excuse me while i go cry in the corner for a bit.
Dem feels man...
Hello. This is a very good story. Very well written. I have but one question. Could I by any chance write a small Alternate Ending story? One in which Discord survives, albeit badly wounded, to be cared for by the Bearers? It's alright if you say no.
Watch Discord come back up and yelled "HA GOT YOU GOOD!"
4860623 You may~
Okay. Okay. I approve.
I cried big ol baby tears I love discord he's my favorite charicter rip equs discord 312.4157.5671 you will be missed
