After the wedding of Shining Armour and Cadence, tension has been spreading through the land of Equestria. Guards have been doubled and tripled in order to hunt down any remaining changelings still within the borders of Equestria. Status, successfully located and captured a single changeling living within the Everfree Forest. Now he shall stand before the three princesses, Cadence, Luna and Celestia, where he shall await his punishment. But what if, he knew nothing of Queen Chrysalis or even the existence of such an event?

All event happen before the Season 6 finale.

Three years have passed since the War of the Wedding, when an invasion force assaulted Canterlot and revealed Changelings to the world. Fear, driven into the hearts of ponies, has given them a new boogeymare to hunt, it would seem.

To Vanessa and her family, it's life as usual one grey and gloomy Canterlot morning, though not for long...

The gift of thought is a powerful thing, and what one chooses to do with that thought makes all the difference.

Facing mistrust and a changing mind, a newly hatched Changeling drone without the influence of a queen must find out what kind of person it wants to become.

I was a simple drone; I did my work, had my meal, and returned to my own little carved-out den day in and day out. At least, until the invasion of the Golden City. Now I'm alone, cold, scared, and I'm pretty sure something is wrong...

I suppose being found is the least of my concerns...

Over the course of a single day Lavender Breeze's life was destroyed. Regretting all the things she's lost, she longs for closure.

Then in her darkest moment, she comes face to face with the thing she hates the most, the thing she blames for everything that's happened.

Most of us are shunned from their society, but there are a few stars in the night. Cranky Doodle Donkey is one of them. He saved my life, and now I wanted to support him at his happiest. Too bad that his wedding was in the center of ponyville.

Dramatic Reading by CaptainBron3y

This story is a sequel to My Little Ones

One Shot:
Its hard to deal with the loss of someone you know, even someone you hated. Princess LaceWing deals with the loss of her mother, Chrysalis.

Oneshot:
Pysalla, a changeling finds herself in the badlands after the Canterlot attack, and she finds out just how much her queen loves her little ones, in the aftermath, learning that sometimes, if you love enough, you would be willing to do anything.

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.

With the population of the changeling race crippled by their expulsion from Canterlot, and their queen powerless to salvage it on her own, Chrysalis requires outside help from Equestria to get them back on their feet. But reaching out to Princess Celestia proves troublesome, as she cannot risk returning to Canterlot, and the one pony outside the city with a direct line to her is also the least willing to trust her. The salvation of her kingdom may rely on her making amends... and perhaps making friends as well.

Now has a sequel!
