When you're a changeling, there's a lot of things you can do a more easily than everyone else. Fit into a tight space, sneak out of class, reach the top shelf. A little shape shifting is all it takes. When Ocellus feels the need to try something else for a little while, it's as easy as making herself a set of fingers to snap.

But maybe you don't need a whole transformation to try something different.

for Pride and positivity.

Twilight and Applejack are engaged! For two mares who care so much for family and friendship, though, their families are hardly integrated. As their wedding approaches, they set out to change that-- by gently coaxing their older brothers into an unlikely friendship.

This story was written for the 2021 Pride and Positivity Event! I promised a friend a while back that I'd do some more mlm content, since this site is a little short on it, so here it is ;) In the spirit of the event, this story is all about warmth and love. Also in the spirit of this event, please considering donating to the following charities:

• Transgender Law Center
• Palestine Children's Relief Fund
• Sewa International (Indian charity collecting funds for COVID relief)

This fic was initially written as part of a Quills and Sofas pride speedwrite, where it placed second! The prompts were "G is for Gay" and "pining". Thanks to Atom Smash, Aurora Dawn, Bicyclette, themoontonite, Undome Tinwe, The Red Parade, Vis-a-Viscera, and wishcometrue for their feedback during the contest! Extra special double thanks to Red, who helped get this ready for publication with his excellent editing skills. U da man, man

Not quite sure when this will update next - I wanted to be sure to get it out before the event closed, so I haven't quite finished the next chapter yet. There's a projected four chapters total :)

During a morning-time inspection with Rarity, Princess Twilight meets a special pony that she's never even heard of.

It's not every day that you meet a new alicorn, especially one that isn't called a Prince.

Shoutouts and credits to Popamile for commissioning this fic, and love to the background character. They treasure him enough to want to know more about his life, and that's something I think we all feel. Credits for the art go to Sugar Morning, over on the derpi.

Updates: Weekly, hopefully.
Don't think about this too much, it hurts the squishy sponge.
WOO, FEATURED! 18.1.2020

EDIT: Added a character cheat sheet in the bottom of this section due to requests.

The only thing that's known about changelings in general is that they came from the Badlands and that they eat love. Oh right, and that their queen is evil, cool, and certainly does not star in some of the wilder pony dreams.
Not much, is it?
The thing is, it's not as if they know too much themselves. For example, how many of them there really were? How many of them survived the invasion? How silly was it to attempt to disrupt princess Celestia's cake supply?
No one can fully answer such burning questions. Only one thing is for certain - they're now everywhere, and they all have their own stories to tell, some long, some short, some violent, some silly, some happy. Changelings all over the place.
Not every creature minds, though.

Hearth's Warming Eve is here once again, and rather than missing their families two years in a row, Gallus all but demanded his friends return home for the holidays. Deciding that the School of Friendship's dorm was more comfortable than the Griffonstone halfway house, he elected to simply remain in Ponyville, brood a bit, and pointedly try to ignore the happy chorus outside.

But then Sandbar just had to go and ruin it by being the great friend that he is.

This story is a sequel to Where Did Sandbar Send The Flowers?

A few days ago, Sandbar and Gallus decided to try to get closer. Quite a bit closer. Yona and Silverstream found that adorable and decided to help them out in any way they can. The way they came up with was by going to the restaurant and spying on their first date.

What in the name of all probability could go wrong?!

Locking himself in his room, barely talking to his friends, sneaking out without him, Gallus has never seen Sandbar like this.

Despite every instinct his heritage gives him, he does care. He wants to help his friend, but he wants to give him the space he needs. It's not like Sandbar to shrug Gallus off like this. And all of these flowers he keeps buying. For a Marefriend?

For some reason, Gallus kind of hopes not...

When Macintosh was a teenager, him and Applejack both tried to take charge of the farm once their parents had left it to them.

Macintosh succeeded, and now Applejack lives a more carefree life whilst Macintosh shoulders the stress of the harvest, the bills, and keeping his family together alone.

It's not easy.
