Author's Notes:

Hey guys, sorry for the delay, my brain keeps putting off working on this story for some reason, probably my old ‘don’t finish a story’ reflex kicking in, don’t worry, I’m doing my best to fight it down and kick it in the balls.

Celestia let out a sigh as her cotton candy mane flopped down the side of her face. Apparently, when engaging in sex, odd things happened around Draconequus. Why this had come to a surprise to her, Celestia didn’t know. What she did know was that every window in the palace’s west wing, with the exception of her own stained glass ones, had been broken. To go along with that, a vast number of the Guards had found themselves assaulted by squirrels going for their acorns, her mane had been turned into stringy cotton candy, and Tornado’s body had been wrapped in wind.

“I knew I should have killed her,” the alicorn grumbled as she walked down the hallway, Tornado blowing along beside her.

“Yes, but then you would have broken your sister’s heart,” Tornado reminded her. “Besides, you already said that they were only temporary spells.”

“That’s true but...” Celestia trailed off as she saw a very odd sight. It looked rather like Aurora if the other Queen had sprouted antenna from her head and grown... another pair of legs. She was also sporting an incredibly annoyed expression on her face.

“Please explain why the buffet I was feeding off of turned me into this,” Aurora said, her voice on the bleeding edge of outrage. “I look like an insect.”

Celestia withstood the urge to smirk at that statement and instead simply nodded. “As it turns out, through a rather uncommon coincidence, we now have a non-Discord Draconequus living in the castle and last night she apparently lost control of her powers in the middle of a particularly extreme round of cunnilinguis.” It was a testament to how many times Celestia had said that this morning that she was able to do do it without stuttering or pausing.

To her credit, Aurora only stared at her in shock for a mere two seconds. Then she took a deep breath and let it out, her antena vibrating ever so slightly. “I see,” the wasp-like Changeling Queen stated carefully, her face inscrutable. “And I take it that you have this ‘non-Discord Draconequus’ properly contained?”

“I’m watching her closely, I can assure you of that,” Celestia said, doing her best to restrain herself from letting out another sigh.

“Good, I would not want another ‘Discord’ flying about,” Aurora said icily. “I doubt it would make our talks go any easier if the sun and the moon were in a constant state of flux.”

“Indeed...” Celestia said as she looked over her fellow monarch, Aurora seemed far more agitated than normal, not at all her normally ‘inviting’ self.

“Would you mind explaining where this new Draconequus came from?” Aurora questioned with a dark frown. “I would like to know if more are going to ‘pop up’.”

“It is actually a fairly confusing story and I do not have time to relate it at the moment,” Celestia stated briskly. “However, there should not be any more ‘popping up’ I assure you.”

Aurora frowned at her before shaking her head slightly. “I take that to mean that this was not at all planned for by you... interesting...”

“Where is Echo if you don’t mind me asking?” Celestia inquired, changing the subject. “This is the first time that I haven’t seen him at your side.”

“In our room,” Aurora replied flatly. “He has come down with a... flu.”

Celestia blinked twice and then nodded. “I see, my apologies.”

There was a sudden flash of light around her and Celestia’s candy mane returned to its normal flowing state and a similar thing covered Aurora, much to her relief removing the antenna and extra limbs.

“Hmm, I’d say that Nim just woke up,” Tornado mused with a small sigh of relief as the winds around him petered out and died.

“Yes... yes, so it seems,” Celestia agreed before glancing at Aurora who shook her head.

“Find the Draconequus and inform her that if this happens again I will do everything in my power to reduce it to an emotionless husk,” Aurora stated flatly before she turned and stalked off, tail twitching iritibly.

“Something bad must have happened to Echo,” Tornado stated, frowning faintly.

“Indeed... now let’s go find my sister and her... harem.” Celestia rolled her eyes slightly at the word, she knew it wasn’t quite the right word for it but it was the closest that fit it.

Luna was awakened by the sound of a tapping at her window. She blearily blinked awake to find herself spooning the sleeping form of Sarah as Sarah did the same to Nim. Her mind went blank for a moment before she pulled her brain back together. Sarah was in her ‘arms’ because they’d made love at last, Nim was in Sarah’s arms because of a very long, confusing ordeal. That was right.

Luna closed her eyes and leaned her head down against Sarah’s, gently nuzzling the woman’s chest from above and causing her to giggle softly as the fur passed over her breasts, the smell of choclate filling her nostrils. The alicorn smirked and then bent down to give her a kiss on the cheek.

“Good morning, my love,” Luna whispered in Sarah’s ear.

“Morning,” Sarah replied, leaning back and kissing Luna on the lips as she held Nim’s still obviously sleeping form in her arms. “I’ve been up for a while just enjoying... all this.”

The mare grinned and nuzzled Sarah again, savoring the feeling of the woman’s soft skin against her fur. Sarah repaid her by bringing a freehand up and running it down Luna’s neck, soothingly massaging it and rubbing out any ‘kinks’ she can detect. Luna let out a low sigh and moved so that her head was lying on Sarah’s chest between her breasts, her face looking down at Sarah’s beautiful, in her opinion, scarred face.

Sarah smiled and leaned down to kiss Luna softly on the lips as the tapping on the window got louder. The alicorn let out a small sigh and moved up to nuzzle Sarah’s face some more as the woman’s talented hands itched and scratched behind Luna’s ears and the sides of her neck getting another sigh out of the alicorn.

Luna grinned through the sighs and nuzzled Sarah’s face again, this time, giving her a kiss on the lips as her broad muzzle rubbed against her skin.

The tapping on the window became insesent and Luna’s ears flicked with annoyance as she lifted her head off of Sarah’s chest and looked at the balcony window. Hovering halfway up the height of the window was a very large jackdaw, it’s blue wings flapping iritibly. The mare frowned. That was an exceedingly large jackdaw. With a sigh she got up from the bed, pausing only long enough to kiss Sarah before she went over to the balcony window door and opened it, allowing the jackdaw to fly in and hover expectantly in front of her face.

“Hey! Lu! Get me out of this!” the jackdaw shouted at her, surprising Luna enough to make her head jerk back in utter shock. The voice that exited the bird’s throat was Jackdaw’s. “I mean, as much as I enjoyed last night’s show and wanted to join in, I stopped liking it when I got turned into a bird!”

“What the fuck?” Sarah asked, letting go of Nim and rolling to her feet, naked and not giving a single fuck about it. “How the hell did that happen?”

“I think it was when her magic was going off,” Jackdaw answered, pointing a wing at Nim’s sleeping form while somehow managing to stay in the air. “Oh, and you kind of hit the whole castle, also, her screams kind of shattered all of the non-enchanted glass.”

Luna blinked twice. “...fuck.”

“...fuck,” Sarah echoed with a blush. “She was screaming really loud but I didn’t think...”

“Yeah, really wish I’d asked to join,” Jackdaw grumbled.

“Wait... weren’t you doing that foursome with Rarity and those other two?” Luna inquired, frowning faintly. “Surely you could not have made it here in time to... wait, we started late.”

“Mhm, I kissed them all goodbye at around five which was right about when you three started going at it,” Jackdaw replied with a small chuckle.

“... you watched us have sex?” Sarah asked, her eyes narrowing slightly at the bird.

“Mhm, part of my duty to protect Lu,” Jackdaw said earnestly. “I have to be watching her constantly, anytime when she’s not using the bathroom anyways.”

“Including when I have sex?” Luna asked with narrowed eyes.

“Especially when you’re having sex!” Jackdaw answered emphatically. “Do you know how many ‘people’ have died because their lover betrayed them and sank the knife into them during sex?” Both Luna and Sarah’s eyes turned furious. “Look, nothing personal, Sarah, I’m sure you’re a wonderful woman and all, but what I’m saying is true,” Jackdaw defended.

Sarah ground her teeth together but Luna ushered her back with a wing and looked down at Jackdaw sternly. “We will discuss this later, Jackdaw, at the moment, I think we’d best wake Nim and get this worked out.”

Sarah shot the bird a glare before she walked over to Nim and nudged her twice. The Draconequus let out a loud yawn and blinked awake, a grin on her face. “It was real... it was all real,” she said quietly to herself.

“Yeah, yeah it was,” Sarah agreed as she reached down and pulled Nim out of the bed. “Much as I hate making you work early in the morning-” Nim snorted, Sarah knew that Nim was always willing to help her no matter the time of day “-you kind of blew out every window in the palace along with turning Jackdaw into an actual jackdaw.”

Nim stared at Jackdaw for a moment before chuckling. “Heheh, it’s a good look for one so baser.” Jackdaw rolled his eyes and motioned with a wing for her to continue, Nim frowned and narrowed her eyes, focusing on her as of yet untested powers. She reached down to her new, unfamiliar magic and withdrew a sliver of power. “Okay... I shall try and fix this.”

Jackdaw just hovered there, clearly impatient wishing that she’d get on with it. Nim extended a hand at him and the large bird’s form glowed briefly for a moment before his body twisted and twirled until it took on the appearance of a floating, flaming torch with eyes and a mouth.

“I didn’t mean to do that,” Nim said with an annoyed growl.

“Should I be worried about the fact that my head is on fire?” Jackdaw asked no one in particular.

Sarah facepalmed. “Nim, try again,” she instructed, placing a hand on Nim’s shoulder. Nim nodded and closed her eyes, focusing on the flaming piece of wood again and extended a hand towards him. This time there was a flash of light and when it cleared it was revealed that the fire on Jackdaw’s head had gone out, leaving him a simple piece of wood.

“Oh yeah, this is so much better,” Jackdaw stated, still more than a little annoyed at his predicament.

“Let’s see you deal with something like this,” Nim replied acidically, glaring at him, her fingers writhing in anger and frustration.

Luna frowned and then something occurred to her. In almost all the times that she’d observed Discord using his magic, he’d never really been the kind for grand sweeping gestures, nor was the the type to cast spells silently and without making a show of it. Instead, he’d just snapped his fingers...

“Nim, try focusing on what you want and snapping your fingers,” Luna suggested with a small frown. “I am not certain but perhaps it could work.”

Nim frowned for a moment before shrugging. “I suppose there’s nothing better to try is there?”

So, with a frown, Nim closed her eyes focused on Jackdaw’s old body and and pictured his current, wooden form, changing back into it. Then she opened her eyes and snapped her fingers. Jackdaw’s form glowed for a moment before the light dimmed and there he hovered in his normal thestral body.

“Yes!” Nim exclaimed, grinning. “I did it!”

“Yes, yes you did,” Luna said, smiling as she walked over and gave Nim a kiss on the cheek before glancing over at Jackdaw. “How are you feeling Jackdaw?”

“Better, much better now that my wood’s not made of actual wood or covered in feathers,” Jackdaw answered, shaking his head.

Sarah glanced over at him, frowning for a moment. “Jack, can you tell us about what’s happened to the rest of the castle?”

“Hmm?” Jackdaw asked before taking his eyes away from his body and glancing up at her. “Oh, right, let’s see, I don’t know everything but I do know that a lot of the castle staff had this sort of thing happen to them.”

Luna glanced at Nim. “Can you fix this?”

“Maybe... give me a moment or two as I try to figure out how this all works,” Nim answered, frowning once more as her eyes closed.

Then, she opened her eyes and snapped her fingers. A wave of gold shot out from her and washed over the castle, the sound of glass returning to its window frames and goblets resembling themselves echoing through the castle. When the wave passed, the Draconequus collapsed backwards, being caught by Sarah far before she could hit the ground.

“Easy there,” Sarah said, running a hand through Nim’s midnight mane. Nim smiled and leaned into the woman’s arms as her breath came in and out in light gasps.

“I’m okay... I’m okay,” Nim told her as Luna walked over and gave her a nuzzle. “I’m not a foal, you don’t need to mother me Luna,” she grumbled as she pushed the mare away and stood back up. “It just hit me as a bit of a shock, that’s all.”

“Yes, well forgive me for worrying,” Luna said, rolling her eyes before glancing at Jackdaw. “Jackdaw, could you do us a favor and make sure that everything is back to what passes for normal here?”

"Sure, Lu, and then I’m going to get some breakfast, being a bird didn’t let me fill up my stomach very much,” Jackdaw replied, nodding his head as he walked back towards the window. “See you in a bit Lu.”

Luna shook her head before glancing back at Nim and Sarah. “Shall we take a quick shower to get rid of any grime and then find ourselves some breakfast?”

“Sounds like a plan to me Luna,” Sarah agreed, nodding her head before she gave Nim a kiss on the cheek and began to lead the Draconequus towards the shower. Luna watched them both with a smile on her face as the pair began towards the other room, she couldn’t wait for the wedding. Then they’d be hers forever and she didn’t give a damn about anyone who said otherwise.
