Celestia and Discord, as teens, flee their destroyed homeworld to a new world promised by a letter from Luna. But Discord can't escape his nature, nor Celestia her memories. Being a chaos mage on a starliner is a death sentence, and yet, Discord has to keep using his mind-control powers to take Celestia's emotions away, at her request, because otherwise she wants to die. And Gray Celestia, the discorded Celestia with no emotions but the drive to protect herself and Discord, will do anything that needs to be done to save them both.

Warnings: suicidal ideation, consensual mind control that's still kind of messed up, induced sociopathy, euphemistic reference to teenage prostitution, genocide, a near-execution, mass murder, and comforting lies.

Notes:

In this story there is suicidal depression, a very euphemistic reference to underage prostitution, and some gore, primarily in flashbacks.
