Long ago, the Crystal Empire, led by Sombra, and the changelings clashed. The Empire won, throwing the changelings into disarray, destroying their home and taking their Heart, the source of their love. Now the changelings learn that the Legacy of Hatred is more than a myth, and that Sombra is returning. He remembers a confidence shared, a betrayal done, and a vengeance wrought against him.

The changeling that betrayed him is long gone, but her descendant remains.

Chrysalis rules a fractured people, and she sees only one chance to save them.

This story is a sequel to Hard Chitin and Soft Fur

Chrysalis has a small purple filly named Twilight in her castle, and it looks as if she's going to be adopting her for a long while. Can Twilight's love change her, or even the entire hive?

Only time will tell, though Chrysalis is determined that she could never find something so fuzzy and energetic in any way cute.

A sequel by popular demand! Rated T so I have a little flexibility with language and the like, but for the most part I imagine things will be very light and non-explicit.

Filly Twilight is teleported far, far away from Celestia. Now Chrysalis has her, and she's fully intent on keeping her.

But maybe the powerful, loving filly is more than Chrysalis expected?

During a climatic battle, a panicked magical blast from Twilight results in Chrysalis receiving a crippling wound. Twilight dedicates herself to Chrysalis' recovery and, hopefully, redemption.

As Twilight will soon learn, Chrysalis' frozen heart is one that won't easily be melted.

Won 1st place in the"Dear Love: A Beautiful Discord" contest. Rated for suggestive content.

10/3 - Updated tag based on feedback.

Teleology—the explanation of phenomena by the purpose they serve rather than by postulated causes.

Roger Schwartz is a newcomer to Equestria. The only issue with that is that everything in Equestria has a reason for existing. A purpose.

What is Roger's purpose?

When Twilight told the Princess that one of her long-time friends was actually a changeling drone, she expected shock, she expected questions, requests for proof.

She did not expect "Yes, I know. Was that all?"

Now with a dramatic reading by Alicentaur Br0ny!

...and another one by Voiceguy!

And a most impressively produced reading by obabscribbler!

(If you're just going to listen to one of them, pick the third one).

This story is a sequel to Thanatosian Love

The demon inside Twilight does not know her very well.

But it knows what she is capable of and contemplates their future together.

The spirit possessing Twilight knows Sunset Shimmer very well.

It knows what she could have been and reflects in pain on things that never came to pass.

Happy Valentine’s Day!

Wallflower Blush expected the Rainbooms would forget about her once she was no longer a magical threat. Sunset Shimmer had other ideas. Now, largely without meaning to, Wallflower has somehow become the first human to visit Equestria. On a date, no less.

At least that's the only thing she'll have to worry about. After all, what in a world full of candy-coated magic ponies could possibly be as terrifying as being in a relationship with Sunset Shimmer?

And why did Pinkie Pie just shudder and give Wallflower that pitying look?

An entry in Oroboro's Sunset Shipping Contest: Journeys. Rated Teen for mild profanity, oblique references to horse nudity, and just to be safe.
