Author's Note: I haven't written for a looong time, and this story has been sitting in my drafts since 2021. I pretty much completely forgot about it, and I don't particularly intend to finish it, but I do like the setup I'd created and figure it would be better to publish it as incomplete than let it be unviewable. So here it is!

Chrysalis is banished, hoping to put down new roots outside Equestria. But when she discovers an ancient kingdom, her past comes into focus. Meanwhile two changelings conspire against her leadership, but their motives change as the situation evolves.

Due to growing up under Chrysalis' rule, Thorax has never experienced the pony celebrations. After deciding to go to Canterlot to pick up some books on celebrations, he runs into Moon Dancer. The unicorn helping him pick some books out to read. Later, during the Summer Sun Celebration, the two run into each other again.

(Cover may be changed in the future)

I remember... Making a wish.

But that was so long ago, and I... don't remember what exactly it was... Perhaps that's why I am who I am now.

Do I regret it? I... don't remember. So many things have happened, and so many things have changed since then. There are many things I have done to regret, but the wish itself?

...Well...

I don't remember who I was before it.

Crossover with Land of the Lustrous (Houseki no Kuni). There may be some minor spoilers to the plot, but overall it is simply a use of characters and abilities.

HiE, Displaced.

♦The Bone♦

After all of this tiem, Twilight has ascended to the throne. Alas, an Alicorn may or may not live forever, but other subspecies of Ponies have a much shorter lifespan.

Without her best friends, Twilight has a hard time moving forward, sadness and frustration beginning to affect her day to day life. But her eldest fellow princess has an idea; a shrine is built to commemorate their friendship.

Twilight reminisces, remembering those that she'd loved and lost.

Based on Remembrance, by Argodaemon.
