After the 'Canterlot Wedding' incident the Changeling swarm was scattered across the land, enslaved by pony warlords and slavers beyond the borders of Equestria. Weak, desperate and with only a dozen changelings to her name, Queen Chrysalis resorts to summoning one of the most obscure creatures in mythology; a human.

Thanks to zinger906 for giving me the idea for this story.

Being in a position of power is never easy, especially if you are the only ruler. Queen Chrysalis discovers this as the broken remnants her subjects begin to wither away without any love to properly sustain them, grieving over their fellow changelings who did not survive the trip home. Their population continues to plummet, and she is left with only one option.

“You are hereby invited to the wedding of her royal majesty Princess Celestia of Equestria.”

Strange, as far as Twilight Sparkle was aware, Celestia didn't even have a special somepony let alone a fiancè. Well here's the good news: She doesn't have a special somepony. Bad News: Chrysalis isn't a pony.

What happened between the Goddess of the Sun and the Conduit of the Swarm-mind? Is it just another plot to take over Canterlot, or might there be more under the carapace of the queen than anybody expected? Well, we'll never find out if nobody stops her and Twilight from killing each other first...

Also special thanks to Wise Cracker, and MrJoshy, who always endure me pestering them with my story. :P

"In exchange for your Kingdom's alliance, we will allow your kind to roam freely throughout Equestria. Albeit, not without careful supervision, but free nonetheless."

With the tables turned, and Chrysalis defeated. Celestia decides to give the changeling another chance, and Chrysalis must choose whether or not her pride is worth over the collapse of her entire kingdom. Eventual romance.

With everyone away on royal business in Canterlot, Shining Armor is left with the seemingly easy task of taking care of the Cutie Mark Crusaders.

He should have listened to Fluttershy.

Now, with the 3 fillies completely out of control on the first of seven nights, Shining must call up an old "acquaintance" to help him out.

Sophia loves playing with toys. Especially under the covers at night.

But when this big bug thing comes crawling out the closet each night and disrupting playtime, Sophia isn't amused in the slightest.

And so Sophia and her toy dragon, Spike, decide they're going to stop that stupid insect once and for all.

But for some reason, the creature feels so confident that it will be victorious in this epic contest. Doesn't it know that the baddies never win?

A/N Me trying something playful and a bit silly. Don't expect anything spectacular.

The failed plans of Queen Chrysalis have lead her hive to an all time low. Flung into a desolate region by the power of Cadence and Shining Armour's spell, Queen Chrysalis falls into a brooding sadness. She she is tired of being queen and sets out on her own. Determined to leave behind all the problems of the past and get as far away from her incompetent underlings as possible. Seeing their queen so down her remaining drones and workers try their best to cheer her up. But thinking isn't their strong point, so their efforts lead to a number interesting failures.

(This is planned to be a short story for the "Love me, love my hive." event on Equestria daily.)

After her jettison from Canterlot, Lilo is discovered by a rather malicious and motivated unicorn. Although he employs her to work for him - if it can even be called employment - slowly she is succumbing to hunger as her love stores deplete. She needs to find another source of love fast if she wishes to survive, but when she comes across a certain pegasus, she must decide for herself whether or not love is real or just a chemical reaction.

In an effort to reform her, Princess Celestia sends Queen Chrysalis to the most horrible thing that the changeling queen can imagine: baking with Pinkie Pie. Will she learn something just as Celestia intended or will Chrysalis be unable to handle being in the same room as Pinkie for an extended period of time?

Not long after the failed changeling invasion of Canterlot, Queen Chrysalis and one of her subjects go to the small town of Ponyville, trying to regain their past glory, which they so humiliatingly lost.

If only Queen Chrysalis would explain her plan.
