Bon Bon is your average hard working mare, running her own candy stall in Ponyville. But when Princess Celestia tries one of her candies, she gives Bon Bon the offer of a lifetime: the opportunity to become the Royal Confectioner. With Twilight by her side, how will Bon Bon cope with the changes ahead?

Instead of landing in the Badlands after the failed changeling coup in Canterlot, Chrysalis awakes in the Everfree, under the care of a certain zebra. She's in no shape to fly or use magic, so she'll have to tolerate her annoying caretaker... for now. But sooner or later, she'll have to leave to regroup with her subjects, and she can't afford to leave any witnesses breathing.

We all wear a mask called composure, beneath which hides a heart that twists with guilt and hidden feelings. Regal as she is, Princess Celestia is no exception. What might be revealed should circumstances cause this mask to slip - or break?

Set several years after the potential conclusion to the series.
