Stalwart Spirit and Keen Edge were best friends. They even signed up for the Royal Guard together, hoping to serve their country and maybe find a little adventure. On the day the changelings invaded Canterlot, everything changed. Keen Edge, eager to take revenge upon the changelings, is recruited by Lieutenant Faithful Watch for a special task force. Years later, the unthinkable happens: the changelings reform and the princesses invite them into Equestria as equals.

Keen Edge and Faithful Watch, finding themselves sharing Canterlot with those they once hunted, must come to terms with the rapidly changing world around them. But can anyone ever really feel at home when their past is mired by the darkness of sins committed in the name of country and vengeance?

A single changeling is blamed for making Chrysalis' plan to take over Equestria fail. He's banished and thrown out of the hive, ending up somewhere far away.

Luckily, he ends up not too far from a certain well-known village, where he can feed to his heart's content.

Needless to say, not everything goes according to plan.

A single changeling is cut off from the swarm during the attack on Canterlot. She's discovered by Vinyl Scratch and adopted as a pet. How will Wubsy the changeling, Vinyl, and Octavia cope when the town develops Changeling-phobia? Will Wubsy ever be able to prove her good intentions and stay with the mare she's grown so attached to? Rated Teen for off-page lesbian pony make-out session.

My bid to make "Wubsy" a more official part of the fannon. Check the source of the fic image to see the comic that started it all.

After an accident, Rarity and Twilight are thrown in a race against time to stop their transformation into changelings before they become part of Chrysalis' swarm forever.

After the changelings' failed invasion of Canterlot, Twilight tries to soothe some of Ponyville's rampant paranoia by casting a spell to prove there are no imposters hiding in the town. But her spell leaves her in an alien body, facing a mob of angry ponies who just don't believe her when she says she is Twilight Sparkle.

Or, at least, she was Twilight Sparkle, anyway...

Queen Chrysalis was frozen in stone at the end of the series... She remained there for many months until she discovered that the right mindset is really the trick to escaping... She managed to unfreeze herself early one summer morning before the sun rose and then, she escaped to the nearby Everfree Forest, where she stayed and waited...

She often went to town while disguised as a pony. She created an earth mare named Crystal Heart, a brown maned mare with a shimmering aquamarine coat and a diamond-shaped crystal superimposed over a pink heart for a cutie mark... She often went to town for supplies and to learn about her enemy, Starlight Glimmer... She learned Starlight had recently broke up with Trixie and was very depressed. Now seemed like the perfect opportunity to make her pay! Chrysalis would pretend to be a pony, get Starlight to fall in love with her, and then betray her and break her heart to completely destroy her! The plan seemed so perfect! There was just one problem...

This story is a sequel to Princess Celestia The Changeling Queen: Stories Behind the Mask

At the Royal Wedding, Chrysalis and the Changelings were revealed to all of Equestria.

But another mask was torn away that day. A mask born for a thousand years. A mask created on one promise. A mask, that has become synonymous, fused, to its bearer.

A mask that when ripped off, causes Twilight, her friends and Luna to question everything they ever knew about the one pony, one very important pony.

At the Royal Wedding, the meaning of the phrase 'Princess Celestia' changes forever.

NOTE: Chrysalis is NOT Celestia!!! That'd be impossible to pull off.

(Set a month after the events of the season 4 finale)

Chrysalis has returned to Canterlot, but this time under a flag of truce, instead of a banner of war. She has come because her race is dying, and much to everponies surprise, the last hope for her race is in Equestria.

However, nopony is prepared for the news of who is carrying this last hope, nor the ramifications of what this last hope is likely to bring.

Rating: Rated teen for some sexual scenes and violence in later chapters.

Warning Number 1: Later chapters may contain scenes of graphic violence, viewer discretion is advised.
Warning Number 2: Despite the similar title, this is not a ponyfied version of the movie Enemy Mine.
Warning Number 3: I know Twilight is a unicorn in the cover, but she will be an alicorn in the story, just so no-one is confused.
Warning Number 4: Twilight's brother Shining Armor will me getting a major change to his character portrayal throughout the course of this fic, a change that will involve some dark undertones, which is one of the reasons for the dark tag.
Final Warning: This fic will delve deep into a fannon portrayal of changeling hive structure, hierarchy, and culture, so those who already have head cannon's behind those and are unwilling to accept or tolerate new ones should probably steer clear of this fic.
