After the defeat of the Chrysalis, Celestia wonders if things could be different between the races of Changeling and Pony. Perhaps the Changelings could be taught to live in harmony with ponies, and Changelings could finally have a land to call their home.

But what if it's too late? What if there are no Changelings left?

What if they had all been sent to their deaths?

Rated teen for slightly dark themes.
Proofread by the fabulous bobdat!

Really quick short inspired by the song of the same name from the musical Wicked. No knowledge of the musical is necessary to understand this fic, it's just a regular ol' pony universe fic.
And wouldn't you know it, the story has 2003 words, the same year Wicked came out! (Don't trust the word count on-site, it doesn't know what's up. Trust me.)

Oh, and, whoever says descriptions are easy to write is a downright liar.

Mole Cricket, former commander of the changeling swarm, finds himself stranded in Equestria, with no idea where the rest of his kind may be... and no intention of reuniting with the swarm, since the Queen would blame her failure in Canterlot upon him. After encountering a group of youngsters who, instead of seeing a monster, see a hero, the changeling decides to dedicate himself to an impossible goal...

To become the first changeling to attain knighthood.

The first of five new stories for the rebooted Cricket-Verse... now renamed the Nonsense-verse.

In the wake of Rarity’s ‘improvement’ spree, the Princesses have a discussion about their duties and what it means to be a princess… also they complain a lot… In fact they mostly just complain.

Cancelled, re-write in progress. Please check it out at this link.

Ladies and Gentlemen, Fillies and Gentlecolts, I bring you the sequel to Adaptation. I don't know how well it'll go over, but you all seemed to want it, so I figured I'd give it a try.

In this volume, Echo has settled in to her life in Ponyville and has just begun to become accustomed to the strange ways in which ponies behave. While their social norms may be confounding to her, she is satisfied with her life. That is, until Scootaloo comes home from school one day shaken, and Echo finds that not everypony in Ponyville is as understanding and accepting of who she is as she thought they were. What has caused the normally kind ponies in this town to become so suddenly xenophobic?

Tagged gore for possible mild violence.

Twilight wakes up and simply doesn't feel like doing anything today.

Discord is responsible, of course. Why else would Twilight become lazy? I mean, seriously.

The result involves strange noises made whilst stretching, a rude letter, singing, potato chips and Discord's video camera.

Oh, this is going to be fun.

CONSUMER WARNING

This story is not meant to be taken entirely too seriously, as it is a silly one-shot and should be taken as such.

Any attempt to take it too seriously may result minor cases of annoyance or displeasure. In rare cases, extreme butthurt has been reported, a condition afflicting people who don't like my sense of humor.

Proceed with caution, expect major silliness, and a parody of a Bruno Mars song.

--Soon to be under HEAVY re-write....because it sucks--

I'm serious. It's terrible. Stay away from it, just go read the sequel.

Well things couldn't be any weirder for Ian. Get knocked out a human one morning, wake up with the body of a baby changeling the next. Well, at least he still has his sparkling personality. Right? Well whatever the case, he'll be having some new experiences in this new form.

This is my first story so leave critique for improvement.

Teen for innuendo.
Edit: I got an editor, finally. He helped me with the grammatical errors in the last chapter. So a special thanks to Lan.

This story is a sequel to Who Needs the Sunshine

Trust.
Trust is the foundation of Equestria. The foundation of harmony.
Changelings are a threat to that trust. Their lies have already disrupted Equestria. Even now, neighbors watch, waiting for one another to crack and crumble... into a changeling.
Their lies have already corrupted my faithful student, Twilight, and through memory magic unknown they have turned her to their side. As a final insult, they even forced her to become a consort to one of their Queens.
I hear their lies for what they are when they tell me that they are the last. I know there are hives out in the Badlands, plotting their next move. Before then, we must prepare. Before then, we must wrest my faithful student from their grasp.
I can only hope we have time.

This is a direct sequel to "Who needs the sunshine" read that first as this contains spoilers.

Extinction.
It’s a word I grew up around, but never fully understood.
Mother always talked about it, but I never got it. After all, there were hundreds of us, almost a thousand. How could we go extinct?
Mother always talked about the time before, when there were thousands of us. If I was good, she would tell me the story of the wicked ponies of Equestria, and how they drove us out here into the badlands.
Back then, “extinction” was just a far-off word that Mother always harped over, almost as much as her “Grand Plan” to take over Canterlot and then “all of Equestria would fall before her.”
Now Chrysalis is gone, her grand plan failed, and the last changeling hive is in shambles.
And extinction isn’t just a word anymore.

Further chapters will be uploaded as they are edited.
Naming and editor credit goes to [REDACTED]
Name of the story is a reference to the song by the heavy "Who needs the sunshine."

Queen Chrysalis has only one grub that has survived into fillyhood; her daughter, the physically lame and mentally impaired Crown Princess Pupa. Chrysalis has never been what many would call the 'maternal type', even towards Pupa, whose adoration of her mother has no bounds. Preferring to swamp herself in the dire affairs of state, Chrysalis lets her crippled daughter be raised by her affectionate nanny.

But one day, as the Changeling Kingdom's problems reach boiling point, the Queen's already short temper erupts and she must deal with the heartbreaking consequences...
