Drako at the beach with Scoots  
Drako:  
you tell anyone about this is swear i’ll..  
never mind  
let’s make sandcastles  
Scoots:  
your bucket doesn’t have a bumpy bottom  
Drako:  
i like to carve the battlements myself  
picks up spade  
Scootaloo flinches  
puts spade down  
it’s happening already  
Scoots:  
what is?  
Drako:  
I tried to wean you off her but it’s not working  
You’ve been meeting up behind my back  
Scoots:  
no- I never-!  
tears start to form  
Drako:  
you want to cry then cry  
there’s nobody else around  
Scoots:  
eyes fill with tears, hugs Drako dipping her head into his shirt  
Drako:  
grinds teeth  
eyes watering  
cough wheeze  
releases hug  
we’re gonna make the bestest sandcastle right Scootaloo?  
Scoots:  
happily nods  
…  
later  
Drako:  
that’s a fine castle  
looks up  
but it’s getting late  
i better take you home  
stands up  
starts to stumble  
collapses on the ground  
Scoots:  
Drako!  
Drako:  
I can’t move  
Get Rainbow Dash  
Scoots:  
okay  
Drako:  
quickly, take the scooter  
…  
passing in and out of consciousness  
feels himself be caried in the air  
then lying on a bed  
Drako:  
knocks syringe out of nurse’s hand  
gods’ sake not penicillin  
passes out again  
wakes up  
Dash is watching over him  
looks around the floor surrounding the bed  
nothing there  
well that’s something  
Dash:  
what the hell happened?  
Drako:  
groan  
it’s the disease  
Dash:  
what Bandy had?  
Drako:  
yeah w-  
had?  
Dash:  
yeah  
since you’ve been looking after him nothing bad has happened to him  
i think he’s cured  
Drako:  
laughs  
what a relief  
i thought you were gonna say he’s dead  
no he’s still got it  
and mine’s getting worse  
i’ve taken the burden off him a little  
Dash:  
what are you talking about?  
Drako:  
the Stigmosis  
it’s not a curse it’s a blessing  
Dash:  
are you sure you’re alright?  
Drako:  
how did you and Scoots work out, huh?  
Dash:  
we fell out  
starts to cry  
she said she doesn’t want to see me again  
falls on him and cries  
Drako:  
screams in pain and throws Dash backward across the room  
Dash:  
oh my tia. your chest. it’s covered in new burns  
d-did  
did i do that?  
Drako:  
i guess it’s no so easy to spot when someone is wearing bandages  
this is Stigmosis  
Dash:  
water burns you?  
Drako:  
no not water  
the affliction has the ability to take people’s badluck and give it to yourself  
or sometimes in direct contact take the bad luck and get immediate repercussions  
especially when in an emotional state  
Dash:  
then he  
Drako:  
he’s been sucking the misfortune out of you and putting it on himself  
and you’re nott the first patient or the last he’s done it to  
he’s been a permanent guest at the hospital for some time now  
ever since he showed up patients have been getting a lot better  
and he even fixed your cancer before it took hold  
Dash:  
i never had cancer  
Drako:  
i saw the details of your wing fracture  
the marrow-bone was exposed to the elements  
it caused a mutation your blood  
you were showing all the early warning signs of leukemia  
and then you were moved the serious cases ward alongside bandy and your cancer disappeared overnight  
i dare say when i met him he tried to take my suffering away from me  
i had to stop him  
it would have killed him  
together we’ve been working at healing the people in the hospital  
Dash:  
so what changed  
why are you in a hospital bed now?  
Drako:  
gets angry  
i’ll tell you what did it!  
i tried to take Scoots suffering from her  
and look  
my chest is like one big tomato  
Dash:  
thank y-  
Drako:  
oh shut it Dash!  
if you hadn’t been so mean to Scootaloo i wouldn’t be in this mess  
Dash:  
what  
Drako:  
you are getting worse Dash  
you’re getting more extreme  
it’s not the actual abuse anymore  
it’s the trauma  
the threat of abuse  
it’s mixing her all up in her head  
i took some of that burden from her  
it wasn’t until i stood up that i realized how severe it was  
i didn’t think i did that much but it nearly killed me  
you’re ruining her life Dash  
leave her alone!  
argh!  
shit! it burns  
that one was on the house  
Dash:  
you don’t want me to see her again  
you want to take her away from me  
Drako:  
listen you fool  
the more you treat her like that  
the less of HER there’ll be  
Dash:  
what do you mean?  
Drako:  
trauma slowly takes away a person’s humanity  
Dash:  
their what?  
Drako:  
their soul then  
the more pain she experiences the further she will recede into her shell  
with each event a piece of her becomes lost  
if you keep doing what you’re doing she’ll become nothing but a mindless drone  
incapable of feeling any emotion ever again  
when that happens the effects are almost irreversible  
Dash:  
i don’t want that to happen to her  
Drako:  
then you’re gonna have to-  
grinds teeth  
i see you’ve guessed what i’m gonna say  
you live in Clousdale  
Scoots lives in Ponyville  
it’s not difficult to keep apart  
Dash:  
okay  
Drako:  
and Dash  
don’t get her into drugs  
Dash:  
I’d never..  
Drako:  
stares down Dash  
Dash:  
i’ll try  
Drako:  
it’s not enough  
but it’s a good start

It’s Scootaloo. Everypony would do this after having to spent time with her…

no pls
 
why would you do this dash? why?

That was when she realized that taking Scootaloo under her wing was not the best idea she ever had…

Always makes me laugh.

Fuck yo fanon!

ah  
there it is  
i was waiting for this one  
the one that started it
