After the disastrous invasion of Canterlot, an injured changeling wakes up near a small cottage and is quickly discovered by two of the last ponies she ever wanted to see. Now, with the help of her new "friends," she has to remain undetected in a town high on changeling hysteria that would not hesitate to throw her in the Canterlot dungeons should her true nature be revealed.

Simple, right?

Too bad she couldn't have picked a worse form to stay inconspicuous...

In the beginning, The Great Weaver brought together the world, from the mountains to the forests. Stitching it together, the Great Tapestry connects all living and nonliving things.

The Changelings found themselves especially connected to this Tapestry. Legend says that the first Changelings fell through the world as it was woven together, only to be caught on the First Weave beneath it all.

But what happens when something else is caught in the Weave?

Prince Phasmatodea, son of Queen Chrysalis, remembers what it was like before he hatched. He remembers being a human. He remembers dying. And he fully intends on avoiding another death.

But being gifted a new life does not matter when one failure, one false step, will lead to your untimely demise in the Changeling hive, for Prince Phasma must survive his toughest adversary from the start: Mother Dearest.

[Ch.1]
One small Changeling by the name of Cephila decides to adventure around ponyville, why you ask? To spread love and happiness to all or so she thinks at least and Thorax is tasked to keep her safe.

A Changeling left behind when Queen Chrysalis attempted to take over Canterlot. She found herself with memory lost and stranded in the heart of the castle. Needing to find a way to survive in the kingdom, due to the shield around castle that would not let her pass though, she had to find a way to feed on love without drawing any attention to her. Slowly she found a way to do just that. Creating a persona that would fit in with the normal ponies and yet let her feed when she is hungry. Thus Melody Echo was born. She was always good at mimicking sounds and echopraxia. Using her sound ability, she listened to famous singers that would come to Canterlot to preform and the shops that offers musical training. After some time, the shield was eventually lifted and she was able to leave, but she choose to stay. Even if she did leave, where would she go? The last thing she can remember is attacking the ponies during the raid, then nothing. Making Canterlot home, even if it is in disguise, let her guard down one day, another pony changes everything.

Based on the Equestria at War universe.

In the year 1011 ALB, Queen Chrysalis declared war on Equestria. She and her High Command believed that the Equestrians would be easily crushed underneath the treads of their tanks and pushed back by their powerful changeling rifles. However, they were quickly proven wrong as their forces met the heavily fortified positions of the Equestrian military. After months of a painful stalemate, the High Command had a brilliant idea. They began deploying infiltrators into the Equestrian fortifications to weaken and surprise the defenders for the oncoming attackers.

One particular changeling was deployed to an Equestrian fortification, weeks in advance. On the promised day, he sits in a trench, waiting for the arrival of his brothers and sisters. But, will they come? And what happens to the mare that he became friends with if they do come?

Now with reading by Fire Hearth Studios!

Stalwart Spirit and Keen Edge were best friends. They even signed up for the Royal Guard together, hoping to serve their country and maybe find a little adventure. On the day the changelings invaded Canterlot, everything changed. Keen Edge, eager to take revenge upon the changelings, is recruited by Lieutenant Faithful Watch for a special task force. Years later, the unthinkable happens: the changelings reform and the princesses invite them into Equestria as equals.

Keen Edge and Faithful Watch, finding themselves sharing Canterlot with those they once hunted, must come to terms with the rapidly changing world around them. But can anyone ever really feel at home when their past is mired by the darkness of sins committed in the name of country and vengeance?

Dark, grey clouds settle over a treeless plain. Icy rain soaks your mane. Old castle ruins, infested with changelings, loom over the town. This is the village of Trottingham.

But in Roseluck’s garden, lies a beacon of hope in this desolate land.

In her garden grows a lone rose bush.

This story is set in an AU similar to 19th century England. Think Sherlock Holmes.

When Twilight told the Princess that one of her long-time friends was actually a changeling drone, she expected shock, she expected questions, requests for proof.

She did not expect "Yes, I know. Was that all?"
