Chrysalis is sick of Twilight always getting in the way of her plans. So sick of it, in fact, that she's willing to do anything in her power to stop Twilight from stopping her. She'll even go so far as to fall in love with her greatest foe.

A soul mate is a rare and precious gift.

Usually.

Celestia isn't so sure about hers.

Chrysalis might be one of the most evil, vile, and dastardly villains that Equestria has ever known. She might have been responsible for nearly destroying the world more than once, she might even be a soul-sicking, shapeshifting monster, but she is still a mare.

She had never been given a genuine, honest compliment from someone that wasn't under threat or stuffed into a feeding pod or mind controlled. Today that is going to change.

Cadence really hasn't happy about the whole thing.

This story is a sequel to Changeling Courtship Rituals

Queen Chrysalis attacked Canterlot, brainwashed Twilight Sparkle's brother, kidnapped her former foalsitter, defeated her mentor in combat, and conquered her kingdom. She kidnapped the sisters of Twilight's friends, turned them against one another, and tried to drain all of Twilight's magic. Queen Chrysalis has, at every opportunity, done her very best to utterly destroy Twilight Sparkle's life.

For some reason, this has not caused the pony to fall in love with her.

However, due to Twilight's misunderstanding of changeling customs, it does mean they are now married. Twilight eventually managed to tell the Queen the truth, but she forgot that whether it's a kingdom or a heart, changelings conquer.

And since the changeling way of conquest didn't work, Chrysalis is determined to try the pony way. The only problem is, of course, she has no idea what that is. But she knows someone who does: Princess Cadance.

Now, with the absolutely sincere help of her mortal enemy, the pony she once locked in the caves beneath Canterlot while trying to steal her husband on their very wedding day, Queen Chrysalis is going to woo the sister-in-law of that very pony.

Surely this is the most perfect plan ever devised.

Takes place roughly after season five (so Starlight Glimmer is running around occasionally)

For years, Twilight Sparkle and Queen Chrysalis have been at each other's throats. Both have experienced victory over the other, and both have experienced defeat. Out of all the creatures in Equestria, none despise each other the way the pony Princess and changeling Queen do. They seemed destined to remain locked in battle forever, or at least until one is finally dead at the hooves of the other. The cruel insults, the vicious loathing, and the powerful spells that have passed back and forth between them at each meeting have become the stuff of legend.

Imagine Twilight's surprise when she finds out changelings consider this dating.

And now they're married.

Changelings have been depicted as cruel, heartless, love stealing monsters. Multiple ponies across Equestria would love to watch the race burned from the earth. But nopony ever realizes that changelings too wear masks. And behind them, is a broken soul.

Queen Chrysalis is the only surviving member of the Changeling race. After killing her starved race in a mad attempt at food by invading the famed Canterlot Wedding, Chrysalis has to look for a mate in a nearby town, hoping to stay hidden long enough that she could start to not only rebuild her race, but the valley she had created between Changelings and Ponies. The problem is, she never expected her most likely mate to be the one who had helped her race meet their deaths.

This story is a REDUX of an old popular fic that was unfortunately cancelled and deleted by myself when keeping up with it and other stories became to much. It then received a small reboot by a fan, that soon ended after three chapters. Now you guys get to read the still in progress ECWM REDUX! The original story plot is different, so old, hardcore fans will receive scenes that are from the original, but others that are different. I will also be trying to make this longer than before, (Then again, it died 1/4 of the way through.) So I do hope you guys enjoy this enchanced blast from the past that I will try to work on when I can along with all my other stories that are sitting collecting dust.

Celestia and Chrysalis enter negotiation to end the conflict between their respective nations. And maybe discover something else while they're at it.

*I apologize for the summary, I couldn't come up with anything better*

*If you are feeling generous you can buy me a Ko-Fi!!

**This fic is dedicated to Allusernamesweretaken for winning the small contest I did a while back. I hope it is to your liking!**

A failed assault, a shamed monarch, and a spiteful sister.
The world has taken much from Chrysalis, but when her own nation is stolen from her, with her life almost following suit, she finds herself granted kindness from an unlikely source; the very ponies who she had wronged.
What kind of future can she hope to have, now that everything that she holds dear has been stripped from her?

Being in a position of power is never easy, especially if you are the only ruler. Queen Chrysalis discovers this as the broken remnants her subjects begin to wither away without any love to properly sustain them, grieving over their fellow changelings who did not survive the trip home. Their population continues to plummet, and she is left with only one option.
