The tale of a usual colt with an exceptional thought. One that doesn’t belong in the mind of a young pony. But that’s the dilemma. He’s a pony of Equestria, wistful of what lies beyond.

Starting three years before "The Last Problem." (Season 9, Episode 26)

He’s an ordinary background pony like everypony else. A blank flank that resides in a small nameless town where it lightly snows near Luna Bay—a mysterious magical phenomenon and mundane environment with a bleak, wintry grey ambiance.

Remember his parents. Although doting, they would never endorse a young pony with such a dream.

¿? — ”You’re nothing but a fool. An unusual dreamer with some rootless alibi...” — ¿?

Yes, this is the story of why he...

Volume 1: TBA

Origin can be read any time before Volume 4

It's the second Nightmare Night after Luna returned, and everything starts out normal. Ponies are having fun, getting candy, and even Fluttershy is trying to join in.

However, hiding out in an alleyway is a certain outcast Changeling. And his time away from the Hive has made him grow desperate.

Gore tag due to small amounts of blood, as well as the nature of the story itself. Sex tag added due to innuendo near the end (nothing explicit).

Also contains some romance.

This story is a sequel to Winds of Change

He wished for friendship.
He wished for acceptance.
He wished for peace.
He got more than he bargained for.
He got the throne he’d never cared for and the whole hive to watch over, and now King Thorax must lead his kind into a new era of peace and harmony such as the changelings had never known before. So much is at stake, not just for him or his people, but for the whole world; he cannot allow himself to fail.

Good thing he knows what he’s doing.

…he does, right?

Edit 2-Jan-22: made it into the Featured slot! Thanks guys!

This story is a sequel to Walk Where There Is No Path

Pharynx has always been a capable and fearsome fighter, one of the best in the hive. It came as no surprise to anyone that he should become First Commander after the previous one’s death in battle. He has succeeded in every task and every mission given to him, except for one: to turn his soft-hearted brother into a warrior too. Correcting that one blemish in an otherwise spotless career would undoubtedly prove his devotion to the hive and its Queen. But upon Thorax’s sudden departure, having been given the unenviable task of damage control, Pharynx is left questioning his lifelong conviction and must decide where his loyalties lie.

I know it says above that this is a sequel to Walk Where There Is No Path, but it’s actually more of a midquel to that and Winds of Change, and familiarity with the said stories isn’t a requirement to understand what’s going on. I recommend that you read them anyway if you haven’t already, but you don’t have to do it before reading this.

Thorax has always been a black sheep among his kind. But only during the Canterlot invasion did he realize how wonderful it would be to have a friend he’d always wanted. Meeting no understanding among the changelings and finding every next day harder to bear, he decides to leave the hive… for better or worse.

Takes place some time after The Canterlot Wedding and before The Times They Are A Changeling.

AU tag added for modified version of canon.

With the beginning of a new era, Chrysalis has begun to emerge from the shadows, awaiting her chance to get revenge on those who’ve wrong her. She has built her army from the ground up, watching for the last thousand years. From the First Changeling-Pony War, to Luna’s rebellion, to now, with the Dawn of Harmony, she realizes that her time is nigh or never.

For Blue Fang, just a mere recruit to her armies, this means that his life as a Kadet is over, and his life as a soldat had truly begun. Caught in the midst of the Second Changeling-Pony War, he does his best to survive, whilst keeping his friends as safe as he can.

The wait is over. It is here, the official Blue Fang rewrite, Blue Fang, Reignited. I’ve kept this hidden for a while, but I’ve decided to stop kicking the can down the road.

For those returning and those new, I welcome you all to a retelling of my most cherished story I’ve told.

Fluttershy is a normal pony living a normal life. Sure, saving the world once is an achievement, but other than that she was content with the life she has.

But when she finds two abandoned changeling nymphs, her life is quickly turned upside down. Now she cares for young two creatures she knows nothing about, and they don’t seem to trust her.

She is determined to give them the best life that she can.

Edit (Aug. 8th, 2021):

TN, OP now has an editor! Thank you to Helping Hoof for helping me with my work.

Kuno, a young changeling, is left weak, bloodied, and bruised after the events of the Canterlot wedding. She is soon discovered by Warden, a Royal Guard. But for some reason, Warden shows her mercy. Instead of taking her into the custody of the Royal Guard, he becomes both her captor and her savior. But over time, Kuno will come to ask herself the hardest question she has ever pondered: Can a changeling feel love?

At the age of 11, Bandit, Twilight, Cadance, Spike, and Chad decided to spend the day at the park. What was supposed to be a lovely day wound up turning sour when Bandit gets a very mean-spirited message that sends him out for blood. And the sender, Solar Comet, learns the hard way that when Bandit is mad, mercy rarely becomes an option.

Don't let the teen Rating fool you, this Canon to the FaM universe.

Be warned, there will be blood. Not a lot of it, but definitely not a little. Also, the bully in question says something very, VERY screwed up.

This story is a sequel to An Affliction of the Heart: Volume Two

Swarm is the first ever changeling/pony hybrid, child of Warden the pegasus, and Kuno the changeling.

What does life have in store for this unlikely trio?

Twists, for a start!
