Not every changeling was in the Hive when the change happened. For those in distant posts, the days that followed were full of rumors, fear and panic.

In a city far from hive and home, a cell of changelings gather to understand what has happened and decide how to handle the seemingly mad new world they've been thrust into.

Chrysalis never thought Starlight Glimmer would offer to be her friend, so she accepts Starlight Glimmer's friendship and gains a new form of Changeling. Chrysalis is sorry for her actions, but the Changelings tell Chrysalis that she was only doing her duty as mother and queen of the changelings. Chrysalis decides she will live in Ponyville. Thorax accepts Chrysalis's decision, although he still thinks he isn't ready to be king of the Changelings.

Arriving in Ponyville, Chrysalis wonders with who she should live. Twilight offers Chrysalis to spend a day with each of her friends and with her, and who Chrysalis likes to spend time with, she could live with that pony. But over time, the friendship between Chrysalis and Twilight Sparkle may become something more.

This story is a sequel to Nopony Interrupts My FRIENDSHIP SPEECH, Starlight Glimmer!!

After a failed rescue mission to save Princess Twilight Sparkle, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Fluttershy, Spike, Flurry Heart, and the other Princesses, Starlight Glimmer found herself helpless against the might of Queen Chrysalis and the Changelings. It looked to be all over for them and Equestria.

That is, until Starlight started acting odd when Chrysalis teasingly said "friendship speech" and Thorax informs Chrysalis why Starlight was acting the way she did. Afterwards, things got nuts.

Will Twilight and the others be saved from their cocoon prisons, and will Chrysalis be able to help(?!) Starlight?

This story takes place during the events of the season 6 finale. But the season 5 finale did not happen in the continuity of this story, but Starlight is reformed and is still Twilight's student. This story's predecessor would explain why, and it took place during the season 5 premiere.

However, it's not mandatory to read it first to enjoy this story (and laugh) since enough will be explained to understand what's going on.

Last but definitely not least, special thanks to TheHardie-Boy For proofreading this story.

EDIT: Made the featured list on 09/19/19!!

EDIT on 09/20/19: After thinking about it, I added the "Dark" tag to this story. It should fit what will happen in it.

Zephyr Breeze manages to live up to his true potential, but not everypony can appreciate the beauty of what he's accomplished.

Being Pinkie Pie is the single greatest rush of fun and sensory overload a changeling could ever experience. Getting addicted to a high octane lifestyle of parties and smiles isn't exactly difficult. And once you do get addicted, why would you ever want to go back?

It happened to one changeling, but how common could it possibly be?

This story is a sequel to Siege of the Crystal Empire

The reign of Dragon Lord Torch has come to an end. With his daughter, Ember, having inherited the title, he resigns himself to die in the heart of a volcano.

That is until, five years later, he awakes to the sight of three mysterious ponies. They are the Cult of the Dragonflame, and they fully intend to restore Torch's rightful position of Dragon Lord. In doing so, they will help to raise an army of undead dragons, all for the purpose of waging a war of conquest and destruction across the whole of Equestria.

Can Equestria's newest Alicorn, Stellar Shine, ammount a force strong enough to resist the undead hordes? What will this mean for the future of dragon and pony relations? And what is the Cult of the Dragonflame's true goal?

Only time will tell, now that Equestria is on the cusp of the greatest war the kingdom has ever known.

Set 10 years after the beginning of season 8. Sequal story to Siege of the Crystal Empire. Reading that story first is recommended, but not necessary. Chapters released bi-monthly.

This story is a sequel to Errand, Errant

Sweet Biscuit is the sweetest unicorn anypony has ever met, and she’s come up with the sweetest cookies anypony has ever tasted! If they impress Zesty Gourmand, her treats are sure to be the next food craze to sweep through Canterlot.

There’s only one problem: “Sweet Biscuit” isn’t the sweet unicorn she appears to be. She’s actually the changeling spy Agent Myrmarachne.

In spite of Spike's valiant efforts, he and Princess Ember fail to stop Garble from getting to the Bloodstone Scepter. Having heard Garble saying that he'll take whatever he wants from Equestria and burn the rest, Twilight decides that she and her friends must remove the bad dragon from power. . . .

. . . But things are rarely that straight forward.

(Written after Sweet and Smokey.)

The first night after the ending of the Wonderbolt Academy, Sky Stinger and Vapor Trail discuss unfinished business over evening tea. Because while their long, arduous month may be over, Sky still cannot relax.

Chrysalis has once again overrun Equestria — and this time, her victory is complete. She's captured all four princesses and the Elements of Harmony, and the clock is ticking on their death sentence. She'll show those pathetic ponies the true meaning of power.

So why can't she beat them in a simple game show?
