Noble Cause


she/her they/them, reader more than writer these days.

Diplomacy sucks. Diplomacy with a nation that was attacked by your species is infinitely harder. Tremar, Haull and Nembis have to try and make the case for friendship, knowing full well that Chrysalis has already kneecapped their efforts. But nothing worth doing has ever been easy.

I do like me some good changeling fics, even if I usually portray them as a united swarm under Chrysalis :rainbowlaugh::pinkiecrazy:

A very nice story, would want to see more :pinkiehappy:

Oh please tell me this isn't a one shot. I would really like to read more.

Wait... really? you... want to see more? *surprised blink*

... I uh... I might have to figure something out.

3672689 Uh yeah I would. I like the idea of different swarms and that changelings are not mindless drones.

I agree with Vailen. While this is certainly more than fine as a one-shot, it feels slightly incomplete not to actually show the Princesses meeting with the changeling Queens (presumably with this trio along to provide extra antics and/or commentary). It would definitely be a great opportunity for neat changeling world-building, as well as seeing how each of the four Princesses approaches international diplomacy. The latter is probably what I'd most like to see your take on. :moustache:

... welp, I think that seals the deal... combined with my newfound glut of free time from being laid off in a couple days, I'll have to get to writing...

Well, this was an interesting idea, but it was executed rather poorly. Needs less telling and more scene-setting. And also, it doesn't quite sound right as a one-shot. It felt kinda pointless. :applejackunsure:

This is why I'm going to be working on a sequel chapter. This was mostly just set up.

“On behalf of Equestria, we would speak to your Queens on neutral ground, if possible. Here, if they’re willing to travel,” she said.

Canterlot, the seat of power of Equestria, is NOT "Neutral Ground", Noble. :rainbowlaugh:
Neutral ground would be a third country, out on the ocean, or a specified no-man's land.

It's neutral to them, as compared to, say, Appleloosa or Ponyville or Stalliongrad...

Would be nice to see another chapter
