It was never supposed to end like this.

Princess Cadance has saved all of Equestria from the changeling threat. What comes next isn't going to be half as easy.

One wedding may be cancelled, but a new engagement has begun.

Massive thanks to my pre-readers/ideas tasters: Bronetheus and RK_Striker_JK_5. Go check out Night Errantry and Spanner in the Works for two great fics that are well worth your time.

Warning: This is an attempt to make the Cadance/Chrysalis ship work, without too much darkness (though there will be some), or it leading to an inevitable bad end. If you hate this idea, believe that Cadance ending up with Chrysalis is automatically a bad end regardless of circumstances, or just think it's plain impossible to pull off then please move on as this fic is probably not going to be for you.

Still if you want to see if this pretty cracky ship can somehow be made to work, and have some fun along the way, then this just might be the fic you are looking for.

If you still hate the concept enough that you feel that you have to hit the dislike button, then fair enough, but if you find something else objectionable then please post a comment, or basically I'm going to assume that you're just disliking the ship rather than the story and ignore you.

The Sex tag is there for some of the humour, some implication to off screen activities, and a few bits on screen that while are no where near the mature rating do push things somewhat compared to the rest of the fic. If you're wondering where the Comedy tag went I decided while I do believe there's a lot of fun and amusement to be had, I can see why it might mislead some readers as some of the events are taken more seriously that you'd expect from an all out comedy.

Vanilla Torte lives an unassuming life outside of Canterlot, never thinking much about the huge city above.

Then something lands with a thunderous crash in his garden.

Fruit Heart, a market-seller mare, finds her house smashed after the Canterlot invasion, and to her troubles a changeling was responsible.

Now broken and hurt; Fruit Heart finds herself looking after the angry creature, but as time goes on, can she help the changeling see what kindness can do, or will his feral instincts force her away.

And will she adapt to caring for the changeling.

Fancy Pants and his lovely wife Fleur are quite possibly Canterlot's most heroic duet. Together they conquered countless events, faced hordes of snobbish socialites, and emerged victorious from the most dire of faux pas. May their bravery and finesse be forever remembered on parties to come!

There is a missing element in their perfect life, though: the joy of having a child and becoming a family. When conventional methods fail, will the couple muster enough courage to seek out the alternative, or will they stay a duet forever?

Enter Chestnut—a daring filly from beyond Equestria, out of their social stratum, and definitely exceeding their boldest expectations.

For better or worse.

Six years ago, Trixie rolled into Ponyville with intent to go about life as she always did - wow the crowds and stroke her ego. However, in something she recalls as the "Boast Buster" incident, Trixie was introduced to Twilight Sparkle, a mare for whom Trixie's feelings would gradually develop.

I don't normally ship Twixie, but when I do, it's for my lovely pre-reader Fyeten's birthday. They say behind every author is a strong pre-reader (or, well something along those lines), and Fyeten is that woman to me. If you enjoyed this, or have enjoyed any of my stories, please, go to her profile, and wish her a happy birthday.

Trixie Lulamoon is your run of the mill showpony. She travels place to place in Equestria, putting on magic shows for the little foals and ponies alike to hopefully earn a few bits to get by. She's a bit of a boaster, and she isn't the best Unicorn to go to for magic. And on top of that, she's never had a friend before.

At least, not until Sunset Shimmer comes to town.

Gentle Strokes is a cynical drunk from Dodge Junction. Stormy is the proud black sheep of a wealthy Manehattan family. Together they're two shining examples of the student body at Camden — Equestria's most prestigious liberal arts college. Navigating their way through one night stands, flirty professors, "End Of The World" parties, junkie roommates, family melodrama, sex, drugs and Rock 'N' Roll as they try their hooves at a college relationship.

A Trixiejack ship!

It all began during a terrible storm. Two mares with an awkward and bitter past end up forced to share each others company. A kindness offered and a kindness reciprocated. And before either one knew what was happening they were both tumbling head over hooves. But into what? Friendship? Or something more.

Trixie was rejected, isolated, and has scorned anypony from before her incident. She is living alone, trying to live each day as it goes. But, fate brings her into the home of a kind mare. Can Trixie prevent her pride from ruining it?
