Description

"You do realize I'm gonna kick your ass from here to the Crystal Empire once I get out of this, right?"
"My, my, such talk from a princess-to-be! That's no way to behave, now is it?"
"Fine: I'll kick your ass, then give you a long-winded speech about friendship. Better?"
"It better be a good one. I'll have you know I've literally heard every one in the book. One of the benefits to spending any length of time around Borelestia."
"Hey, when have you ever known me to go by the book? Promise, I'll make it one you'll never forget..."

SO UH LEMME TRY TO EXPLAIN. I saw this base and had a funny idea to suggest to you guys: try pairing one of your OCs with Discord, one you think would fit well and edit it into this base. It doesn't matter if they're already paired off, it's literally just a crackship so it makes no real difference. 

In Love With Discord? - BASE by SchattenspielKat

That was the idea. But uh. Then I accidentally did the thing where my brain had to come up with the story behind the picture and I headcanon'd. Dammit all.

First, some backstory on the girl until I get her ref up: she's Princess Twilight's student. No blood relation to the royal family in any way. She's a Badlander, actually, hence her more horse-like muzzle. She used to be in cahoots with a pair of thieves who were planning on plundering the royal treasury, but she was caught and her companions abandoned her. Instead of punishing her, Twilight elected to give the girl a chance to redeem herself, as her teacher had done for Discord and Sunset Shimmer.

The girl's working name is Starlight Shine as a play on the whole naming motif with Twilight Sparkle and Sunset Shimmer, but is subject to change. She's got an attitude on her, and while she's fine with making friends, she's bad at forming very meaningful relationships. She hasn't gotten a cutie mark as of yet, but under Twilight's tutelage she will eventually earn one, as well as a loving partner and genuine friends.

So what the hell does any of this have to do with Discord? Rest assured, he is not the loving partner. At best, he could be considered her friendly rival. She immediately caught his attention as a subject of interest once Twilight took Star under her wing, as he saw the potential for her to become a real problem. Now, in his own Discordian way, he saw this as an immediate invitation to meddle: either he could push her into betraying her teacher and all of Equestria and potentially thrusting them into a new disaster or she could resist the temptation to turn sides and become the Princess Twilight hopes she can be. Either way, he gets a show.

The two end up locked in a battle of wits, constantly testing each other and their limits, as well as something of a weird physical relationship based primarily in their mutual attraction to power. The best end result for them would be them eventually coming to respect each other. But we'll see how well that goes.
