Though Chrysalis has been defeated and the Changeling nation have accepted friendship, there are still a few drones out there in the world who continue to hold onto the old ways. One such outlier, out on the hunt in Canterlot, runs out of luck when he finds himself meeting one of the very ponies who defeated him the last time he was in this city.

Dont forget to add this to a few groups to categorize it.
I definitely want to return to this in the future.
It was pretty good.
This is a pretty nice story and I always been wonder what if there's other changelings who refuse to change and it looks like thorax wanted the Mane 6 to help them to find them and try to get them back to the hive I think this is during 7 through 9 but anyway it looks like Rarity found a Rogue Changeling name Mandible and it looks like she's trying to convince him there's another way to live instead of being their enemies they can still come back and become allies and accepting friendship he didn't wanted to believe that pharynx of all changelings to change he did it so he has a chance and it looks like he's taking his first step he dropped his disguise but it looks like Everypony did not freak out or anything but accepting him who he is then you realize that there is a chance for him awesome job Rarity this was a pretty nice story keep up the good work
Ah, playing your trump card, I see.
(Of course, it was established in-show that Pharynx was the last--minus Chrysalis--of the changelings who hadn't changed, but we'll just overlook that little detail)

The last they knew about. Wouldn't put it past Chryssi to not let anyone know about all the infiltrators.
"Mandible! Mandible! We've got Mandible here! See? Nopony cares."

Good one. 👍
I've always wondered what if there is other changelings other than pharynx refuse to change and there's some Rogue changelings out there
This story does what it sets out to do, and does that well. I'm just stuck thinking about everything that could have been in there...
For example, imagine Rarity hearing the story of what happened from Starlight. The most insanely massive act of generosity of all time, and she didn't even witness it! After hearing that story, Rarity needs to find an unreformed pony so she can talk them through transformation. I can imagine her running through the streets of Canterlot, accosting any poor pony that seems to be acting the least bit suspicious. She sits down at the table with "Trotter", defeated, and confesses to this random pony what she was trying to do. And then she picks up by his poorly-concealed reactions that she had finally found what she was looking for.
As for Mandible, I had hoped that we would learn more about him. Where was he during the invasion? How did he feel about ponies when he first left the hive, and how have his missions changed that perception? What are his opinions on Chrysalis--he must have been close to her after she fled the hive, and therefore witness to her growing madness. Didn't that unnerve him?
Now you did include the most telling point, that the ponies no longer hate the changelings. It's just too bad there was no possible way to have shown this before he changed, as one of the arguments for changing.
And finally, there would be my own headcannon, which I apply to every changeling reformation story I ever read: Chrysalis has known for centuries that sharing love would transform her subjects into beings not so absolutely dependent on her to survive, and she has deliberately withheld this information and prolonged their suffering, just to satisfy her enormous but fragile ego. Rarity telling Mandible her suspicion of this fact, tied to certain suspicious mutterings by Chrysalis that Mandle suddenly remembers, would be more than enough to convince him to change.
