Queen Chrysalis, disguised as the Notorious B.U.G., has been practicing her free styling skills and feels finally confident enough to challenge the reigning champ, Pinkie P. If she can defeat the champ the crowd will love her and fill her with the love she needs.

It’s the blood moon and the urge to battle brings the contestants to the arena. A third combatant is drawn into the fray that neither expect.

This is more of crack fic I wrote for a BWG prompt. Thought it might be fun to put it out there. Thanks to Xervis and Sleepless for editing. And thanks to Queen Chryssy for the inspiration to publish it.

It was a major shake-up for most ponies: the loss of magic from Equestria. But for Cozy Glow, it just meant swapping her enchanted stone prison for a normal ball-and-chain one. Besides, that was ten years ago. What does she care of the humbled world outside? Or that it just delivered her an uppity new cellmate?

Luster Dawn cares. A lot. It's why she's here.

(Takes place between The Last Problem and Gen 5. AU Tag because these events are probably gonna get invalidated by canon someday.)

My week has gone from bad to worse. First I get a horrible cold that leaves me bedridden and unable to sleep for the last two nights. Then, as I was listening to a reading of a fanfic, I suddenly find myself in the Everfree Forest, in the body of a Changeling, feeling like my whole body is on fire.

Worse, I've apparently got a egg entrusted to me by Chrysalis from before the invasion that's about to hatch and it's a Royal Egg.

Well, at least I don't have to worry about my cold anymore.

[Featured on EqD] A changeling worker, stranded and far away from her home, is forced to make a difficult choice. Risk her life, or serve the enemy.

This is 100% Approved by Twilight's Library.

A fulfilling career, a completely paid off house, a wonderful wife and two amazing daughters – what more could a stallion want? Well, if you asked Hondo Flanks, he’d say that a son who shares his passion for hoofball would be nice. Alas, his wife is no longer interested in having foals but that’s just the way the cookie crumbles. When Sweetie Belle invites Button Mash over to her family’s house for dinner to meet her parents for the first time, Hondo sees it as an opportunity to pal around with the son he never had. Can Button score a touchdown and win over his girlfriend’s father? Or will Hondo’s overbearing nature discourage Button from courting Sweetie Belle further? Don’t look at me; I’m just a story description. Click on the first chapter and read it yourself if you’re so danged curious.

Night Storm was born a Changeling to an old, unknown Hive. She left her Hive and went to Equestria for a better means of life, and decided to become a nomad, wandering Equestria until she dies. However, Changelings must feed. Yes, she takes some love here and there, but the Cobalt pony is rarely noticed or seen. The Cobalt coat and Sea Green mane are always seen on a Unicorn, Pegasus, and Earth Pony each, all with the same golden locket. Some pony can't make up her mind. After she finds a stallion finally worth keeping, Sword Right, a brown Unicorn with a dark red mane and a love for sharp tools and justice, can she trust him not to spill her secrets?

Pastern is Princess Celestia's personal maid. When a Changeling raid kidnaps her, she finds the only means of escape is befriending her captor, a Changeling by the name of Gaskin. They escape together and have to live in a town that hates Changelings.

The Wedding Invasion was not the grand revelation of changelings to the world. True, only a few ponies knew of their existence before the incident, but changelings have been living in Equestria for years, and many ponies see them as a common part of their lives.

Sawtooth is a prime example of this: a musician who has lived peacefully in Manehatten for years, and is well-known in the music community as a fill-in for musicians who are... otherwise occupied.

Neon Lights gets predictably wasted, and Sawtooth fills in for him.

This story is about 87% dialogue. Be warned.

Freedom.
But the past has a strange habit coming back to haunt us, and it seems as if every employee in the Mason de Bleu has a secret... including Howe, the changeling who serves as the head butler.
