Damaged


Pithy Statement

E

Chrysalis has been defeated by the power of love, but unlike her drones she is not catapulted from Canterlot. There seems a whole lot more going on here than just an invasion of the pony capital. There is a secret that must be carried to the grave before it is shared.

A very short one-off, a leak of my head and one of the little ideas that sometimes sparks within it.

I like it, and this gave me an idea for a similarly themed story prompt. I'm going to bounce it off a couple friends before I share it publicly, though.

Very nice just have one question. If Celestia has only been Tia for 122 years. Is Luna toddler nymph since the Nightmare Changeling would have perished on the moon? Or something? Loved the fic just curious!:twilightsmile:

7170514 My thought was they 'retired' Luna for some time. Maybe the 'ling who played her went a little loopy. Now is a time when she should return, since no pony living will remember how she acted, anyway.

I like it to bade this is a one shot.

Awesome thanks for the response!:heart:

Little bit too fast.

Interesting story, not as neat some other I've read with a similar idea (X has always been a changeling type stuff)

had been contained her - had been containing her --or-- had been contained her

of years we have - of years, we have

This was very nice. I'm left wanting to know more about what happens to these characters now that you've introduced us to this new spin on the familiar series plots.

I'm beginning to think you have a soft spot for changelings, though. :trixieshiftright:

:heart:

7170784 What? Really? No, I never usually write stories about changelings. Who is spreading these slanderous lies?!?

7170571 You are certainly welcome.

7170751 My brain needed to get it out,

7170748 I didn't want this to become another 200k word epic. I just wanted to get the idea out of my head and figured I might as well post it.

Who says all conspiracies have to be nefarious? :pinkiecrazy:

7170831 To be fair, I have done a few such now, that is, non-bad conspiracies :scootangel:

7170870 What fun is being fair? :trollestia:

This explains why they're voices always change

7170793 It's cool I get it.

It's changelings all the way down! :pinkiegasp:

Eh, dealing with Chrysalis is easy. Just get her to issue a pubic apology about how she misunderstood pony culture and thought invading was just accepted practice. You know, invade, get beaten, reform! :rainbowlaugh:

Only a century old? Well at least it's still somewhat reasonable.
Then again a one-shot isn't exactly Princess Celestia the Changeling Queen.... :rainbowwild:

7182441 Huh, hadn't seen that one before. Welp, there goes my hope of being original :pinkiesad2:

7182458 Hehe no worries. You'll find ideas will come that make things different. If we thought every story must be completely original we would have quit quite early on, as any number of ideas and concepts get shared...

7182490 Hay, I like to think Given Shape is just about as unique as a story could get and still be about ponies :twilightsmile:

But yes, I have something in the works, maybe, to extend it further.

7182611 exactly! Certainly, all of the topics in Given Shape have been at least touched on, but not all at one story and not all exactly the same plot. :coolphoto:

7182458 Actually, this is closer to The Alicorn Delusion. Less depressing, though.

There's an X is a changeling story for every major character. But for some reason there aren't many "Cadance was always a changeling" stories, I only know of one one-shot. A number of "Cadance is long gone" stories, but those are basically Chrysalis-is-the-protagonist affairs.

after that I need something to drink you have rocked my world view
...why is the jack gone?

well done! I certainly would not mind a follow up story!
