Changelings aren't liked. They have no close ties. They can't. No one will risk it.

Chrysalis spends most of her time looking at the lives others lead through their social media posts.

She didn't mean to feel anything as she looked at her, but she did.

King Sombra has taken back the Crystal Empire and imprisoned both Shining Armor and Princess Cadence. Any day now, Shining expects word of their scheduled executions. When Sombra comes and asks for a single one of them for retribution, the heroic stallion offers himself without hesitation. Now he only wished he listened to the whole endeavor before volunteering.

Princess Celestia wakes to find that she is not in Control in the way she used to be. Seeing how she is not the only one with power. Princess Celestia feeling insecure and weary on the changes around she feels she needs to Control the Princesses. Not just Princess Luna, but Cadance and even her faithful student Twilight Sparkle, but for Princess Celestia this may be a challenge as she needs to develop plan's on how each Pony will fall under her Sleepy, Tired, Relaxed, Heavy, Effortless, Susceptible, Warm, Blissful, Obedient and Mindless Trance into Princess Celestia's Hypnosis. Who know's even you might be Hypnotized. "No Need To Think about how Susceptible You Are as you Mindlessly and Effortlessly Read This." -Princess Celestia

"Oh dear... it appears my plans have taken longer than truly anticipated, surely the wait has been long, grueling, and even ridiculous, perhaps some added goals aside from these Princesses." - Princess Celestia

Princess Cadance was certain that as long as Shining Armor was with her, they could defeat any evil. When Celestia sent them to the Crystal Empire, she was determined to prevent King Sombra's return.

But they were not enough. Now, darkness and war spread across Equestria because of their failure. Most back home assume that both of them are dead, the first victims of Sombra's bloody reign.

But true evil doesn't simply destroy. That would be too far easy for those who dared to oppose it.

[Season 5 finale AU, taking place in the "Crystal War" timeline.]

Prince Blueblood is absolutely convinced that Tempest Shadow has lied to Princess Celestia and that she is still plotting to conquer Canterlot. Now it's up to him to stop her.

Unfortunately, he is (a) dead wrong, (b) not a fan of comic books, and (c) not trained in espionage, counter-intelligence, special operations or anything else that would be useful in such a situation. But he does know which flowers go well with her coat and what restaurant can offer the best candlelight dinner opportunities, so... that's... a start...?

Prince Blueblood / Tempest Shadow, because I love my random and obscure shipping constellations these are two very different, very fascinating characters who can probably learn a lot from each other. (Also maybe some Capper/Celaeno on the sidelines later on?)

Content warning is again on the "better safe than sorry" side: there is no suicide, and the only reference to self-harm will be when some of Tempest's scars are discussed.
Took out the warning label for the time being. If I or others feel now or at a later time that it should go in again, it'll go in then. Thanks to the commenters so far for the feedback on when to include it!
Also a mild spoiler warning since this takes place shortly after The Movie.

Every foal knows the legend.

You write a letter for help.

You set it on fire.

And she will appear to right all of your wrongs.

With her violence. Sweet, sweet violence.

These are her stories.

Thanks to EGStudios93 for the perfect artwork!

"...a short series of vignettes....that hit just that balanced sweet spot right between "Oh my god that's so dumb" and riotous laughter." -TCC56

In a world where she sees from a distorted perspective, all Twilight Sparkle can do is cling to the one pony she knows will never let her down: her teacher, the princess... no matter which princess her addled brain tells her that is. Twilight's used to rewriting letters, but when she's the one being rewritten, she finds the sensation to be altogether different.

Many thanks must go to my awesome editors, Varanus, Ebon Mane, shortskirtsandexplosions, Seattle_Lite, and Nick Nack.

I am Twilight Sparkle, willing and loyal slave to our queen. For years I have been her general, her champion, and her concubine.

For years I thought that was all she wanted from me… For years I have been mistaken.

I have always loved my Nightmare and, to my surprise, she has long loved me - though it is rather difficult to tell at times.

Written from Twilight's POV

Not long after Twilight Sparkle being crowned as a princess and risen to Alicornhood, she moved to Canterlot to help spark a new golden age for Equestria. However, when she gets there, she notice that the other princesses are acting strangely and saying that Equestria will have a new ruler: Queen Chrysalis.

Shocked, she try to warn everyone and try to snap the princesses to their senses. But... She is too late. Chrysalis was there and is already prepared to add Twilight to her new kingdom.
