Life in the Crystal Empire is sure nice. And stable. And the same every single day. Cadence is almost bored to tears when an old enemy comes calling, and her entire life is thrown into chaos again.

How will Cadence manage when Chrysalis shows up on her doorstep begging for help? Especially when her husband seems intent on helping the monster who tried to steal him away not too long ago.

Where is fluffle puff when you need her?

I really like this story. The scene jumps - such as with the screaming - are very well placed, as is the description of Chrysalis's starving, the direness of her situation, the tryst, 'Chryssi', and... alright it'd be quicker to say what I didn't like.

What I didn't like: There aren't more chapters.:pinkiesad2:

Have a like, favorite, and a The Hero... Queen Chrysalis? group.

It looks like the harbor freed up their docks. :twilightblush:

i know you want to make more of this story its in your blood

the hunger demands it

Tag this for sex and make it a kinky romp in the woods with our dear Chryssy and Cadence :pinkiehappy:

4048671 NO! Change that Cadence and replace it with Sombra! :flutterrage:

>>>The people didn't need her. They didn't even need her love magic. The Crystal Heart was the only ruler they needed, and she was just its caretaker.>>>

Cadance speaks to Celestia about this and the solar princess can only offer her a resigned sigh along with a simple, yet completely bewildering explanation, "You were only supposed to be in a one-shot storyline. After that, the writers had to shove you and Shining somewhere far away where you two wouldn't interfere too much with the metacanon."

Pinkie then randomly burst from a vase shouting, "FOREVER!!" :pinkiecrazy:

>>>“If I go back with empty hooves there won't be any changelings left by the spring.”>>>

Cadance's smile turned into a chilling leer, "Excellent. I was hoping to hear that."

Chrysalis' eyes widened in shock at the waves of intense hate that suddenly began to roll from the alicorn, "What?! But... you're the Princess of Love! How can you harbor this much hate?!"

'Cadance' began to shimmer, form distorting and shrinking, her voice changing as she spoke, becoming a quavering, manic masculine tone, "Oh Crysalis, you silly arrogant insect." The Princess was gone, in her place stood a grey earth pony with a stark white, raggedy mane and tail, wearing thick green goggles. On his flank, a strange helix Chrysalis didn't comprehend was pictured. "You don't think you're the only creature that practices deception of the eyes, do you?" the sinister-feeling pony chuckled mirthlessly, cruelly.

"Who... who are you?" Chrysalis whimpered.

"Helix Splice," he answered coldly. "And that is last name you will ever hear."

The guards found her mutilated body some time later, dissected and displayed like a foal's biology project.

(And that's what happens when my characters encounter changelings...) :pinkiecrazy::pinkiecrazy::pinkiecrazy::pinkiecrazy::pinkiecrazy::pinkiecrazy::pinkiecrazy::pinkiecrazy:

>>>“She's desperate! And you two have a lot in common.”>>>

:twilightoops:

Cadance, might want to throw him back to Chrysalis. Shining's a bigger idiot than most other surfer dudes. :trollestia:

Alondro #13 · Mar 8th, 2014 · · 17 ·

>>>“It wasn't Twilight Sparkle was it?” Chrysalis asked. Cadence was left gasping, unable to find words. “Hah! Wow. I didn't think you were the type. That's quite amusing. I'm guessing Shiny doesn't know about that little tryst. With his sister of all things.”>>>

:ajbemused:

Seriously? You went there?

Well, that just killed every shred of interest I had in this fic.

... I want to dislike this for Shining Armor to be a damn tool now since the damn tryst came up...
But I like the story, premise, A redeeming thing for the story, Chrysalis AND Cadence to get it on a romance with Shining... Or at least Chrysalis.
You get my fave/track and upvote.

Huh, for a simple premise, I like where this is going :pinkiehappy:

4049830
:trixieshiftright:You were interested enough to make four comments about it.

4049830 Oh Alondro I'm glad to hear you and Chrysalis expecting a third addition to your growing family:yay:yay:

I'm sorry for walking in on you guys few months ago:facehoof:

But what I saw was better than anything I watched on the internet. I mean you sandwiched between Chrissy and Discord it's. just. so. Awesome!!!!!!:rainbowkiss::rainbowkiss:

4051695 That was early on, before it went into bizarre OTP mode.

4051749 You should stop smoking that stuff. The hallucinations are clearly growing worse.

I enjoyed most of this, though the Twilight/Cadence thing came out of nowhere and fell flat. However, it was mostly a background detail anyway, just another nail in the coffin of the main character's marriage.

Hmm... Blind Guardian reference?

The affair plotline felt weird and forced, though I get running with ideas just cause. Also it felt weird that Shining Armour was not more annoyed about the mind control thing.

I liked the overall story though, so have a like and a favourite. :twilightsmile:

I love you portrayal of Chrysalis in this and I cant wait fo the next update!

Really interesting so far. I wonder what will happen next.
And please, no sex. There is more than enough of that in the rest of this website.

Chrysalis is awfully lippy considering she's speaking to the mare that decides if her species continues to exist or not. I mean, Cadence could kill her by accident with those anti-magic wards and Chrysalis just keeps making smart-ass remarks and mentioning the time she did Cadence's husband. Let me put it this way: if you were stuck in a room with someone that hated you, and they're holding a gun, would you act like Chrysalis is in this fic?

4055961
She's fucking her husband's sister. That's really not a minor detail. That's the kind of thing that often ends with someone getting arrested and a coroner present. Granted, Shining seems to think that screwing the bug monster wasn't a big deal, so maybe he'll just continue to be out of touch with reality if he ever finds out.

4061959
Yeah, it's less "not a big deal" in general and more,"In this case, just another screwed up thing on a pile".

EDIT: Though it would have worked a lot better as a one-time thing, I feel.

I'm very disappointed that Cadence is carrying out an illicit affair with her husband's sister, considering she's supposed to be in love with him and she just casually betrays him like that fairly constantly. Doesn't sound like something Cadence would do, not to mention Twilight; she's definitely not the kind of girl to stab her brother in the back (especially with all those friendship lessons she's been learning). As for Shining Armour... well, he was under mind-control, though you were pretty vague on how the whole thing worked. He's also incredibly, strangely fine with everything, including the whole brainwashing and rape by fraud.

Still, there are certain details that make me unable to enjoy stories and this affair was one of those.

I swear, as if there aren't enough lesbian affairs. It's stupid and wrong.

"The designs are direct from Canterlot."
-directly
"Chrysalis sounded like she was actually telling the truth. Cadence could her it in her shaking voice."
-hear it

4064179
Technically direct is grammatically correct.

"These are direct from Canterlot." is the same as "These came directly from Canterlot."

Direct is an adverb AND adjective, directly is only an adverb.

oh i love this story! its so much fun to read and a bit dark to....ok a LOT dark but i cant wait for the next chapter! and i hope this ends well for them!

This is such a happy story! Everything is wonderful and I can already tell it's going to end in either Chryssi and Shiny together and Cadance and Twilight or Cadance and Chryssi with no Shiny or the best...A THREE WAY RELATIONSHIP *sigh* I love it when fics resemble my real life. :heart:

This story has no sex nor romance tag. It's centered on a slice of life. There is quite enough other stories for that on this site.

4072027

I don't want to see the sex aspect. Cadence kind of implies romance even in a slice of life scenario.

4101891
This doesn't mean Cadence must necessarily be devoted to share kisses and/or a bed with the first sentient creature she sees, I think.

4063407
Sorry for the late response, not sure if I got this in my notifications. Anyway.

The problem is that the story treats it like a really minor thing. Shining and Cadence have a brief conversation that boils down to "I'm not happy you had sex with a bug monster that trapped me in an underground cavern, but the plot demands that I only get kind of angry about it" and that's it. No tearful breakdown, no furious "well I'm cheating on you with your sister," nothing.

The big issue I'm seeing is that the characters have to do certain things for the story to go where it's going to go (Cadence has to accept the changelings as refugees, has to agree to go with Chrysalis, Shining has to be okay with this), but the author can't/won't stick to having them behave in a way that supports that. As I said before, Chrysalis is incredibly willing to take cheap shots at Cadence--like the fact that Chrysalis screwed her husband repeatedly and knows about Cadence's affair--despite the fact that Cadence wanted Chrysalis dead before she even knew these things and doesn't believe the changelings are worth saving. I almost get the impression Chrysalis is trying to make Cadence abandon the changelings to extinction. She also seems to think that threatening to have her changelings all turn into Twilight and describe the affairs with Cadence is helping her case when all the shapeshifters in question are hibernating and will stay that way until the mare being threatened saves them. So, Chrysalis is suffering brain damage or something.

The weird Twilight/Cadence stuff is also a bit out of place but maybe it will become important later on, so I don't know there. Right now it just makes it look like the author is determined to include that pairing but only future chapters can prove or disprove that.

4101914
Right, but the entire story set up so far seems to lead into it. The whole story up until this point has been about relationships. Shining Armor and Chrysalis', Cadence and Shining Armor's, Cadence and Twilight's. In the someone is going to end up with someone new or everyone is going to break up with everyone. I mean it already seems like Shining Armor and Cadence are headed towards a break up with the romance inherent between Cadance and Twilight and the new problems facing Cadence and Shining Armor with the Chrysalis fiasco.

You seem fairly adamant about this 'NO ROMANCE IN THIS STORY' thing when the entirety of the story thus far has been about romance with a side of tragedy for the Changeling Empire and maybe a bit of adventure thrown in with Cadance and Chryssalis going off on their own.

4110565
I am not against romance but, as I said in my previous posts, against out of the blue, unexplained shipping I've seen in too many stories. Also, I tend to think this story won't have romance as the main focus.
Anyway, let's let this fanfic's author decide on the path he will give to it, and on the tags he wants to put on it.

this made me feel so many conflicting emotions. I couldn't help but laugh at myself

Far more awesome than I was expecting. Hope this continues.

Also, with that chapter title I kept imagining Cadance saying "and I will look down on them... and say 'No!'"

Cadance is best rorscheck.

I like how Chrysalis was telling Princess Cadence that she was a 'Racist'.

Interesting. Very interesting. I will be keeping an eye on this.

Still waiting for this. It was done so well, and I am looking forward to it's continuation if one is coming.

Whoah, Shining is so beta that Cadance has to fuck his sister to get some excitement to her life. Now Cadance wonders why everything is so stale when she married a doormat? Girl, you're the one who was supposed to be the princess of love! :rainbowlaugh:

I'm almost always sympathic for Shining when it comes to fics, but this? Cady could divorce him and I wouldn't even care. He is even more useless here than he was in the show, which is a feat of it's own.

4 years since the last update and it's still tagged Incomplete... my hopes to see this fic continue are pretty much dead.
