This story is a sequel to Aegis of the Hive

Natural selection. It is the byword of every changeling queen who has ever lived. The chief resource that has always curbed the hives' growth used to be love. Now though, with Queen Twilight Sparkle's bloodline capable of producing love on their own, the old guard of changeling morality has seen fit to acquire this ability for the next generation before removing all of their future royal daughters' competitors.

Some queens are far closer to this goal than others.

Inquisitor was the last surviving Reaper to have avoided the new solution. What does he do when his very existence becomes obsolete? Easy. Upgrade. In this case, ripping the mind of some poor schmuck, Jeff, and putting him in charge. And now the Great Reaper Jeff enters the land of Ponies and Friendship to study organics. What could possibly go wrong?

Little Idea that popped into my head while I was writing other stories and put it to print. Whether it goes on or gets passed to someone else willing will depend on the comments and reactions I get.

Twilight has developed a device that can detect strange signals coming from outer space; signals from aliens! She gathers her friends so that they can all listen in.

But they may not like what they hear...

I'd appreciate if everyone could keep the YouTube embeds in the comments to a minimum. The sheer number of them is putting a bit more strain on my connection than I'd like. I'm going to start deleting any comments with 2 or more embeds in them.

Suri Polomare had every reason to be confident. A little theft here, a little deception there, and Fashion Week was as good as hers.

Too bad she didn't think about the long-pressured conscience of a certain timid assistant.

Edit: So I've been told this story was featured. That's fantastic and I love you all for it. For srs.

After feeling unwanted and abandoned during the Canterlot Wedding, Twilight leaves to try and make a new start for her only to fall prey to a gang. Now Twilight tries to rebuild a life with no memories of her past until circumstances guide her home.

Even after losing her memory, circumstances guide Twilight home to Ponyville.

(This is NOT a romantic pairing between Twilight and Trixie)

The wedding was a disaster, but the changelings were defeated. The only real price paid was a mare's trust in her friends and family. Now she will seek out a new path in life, teaming up with an exile and a music loving DJ, the group will forge a new destiny in life.

There's a new mare in town, one that's been hanging around with Stella a LOT. What happens when one of Stella's friends starts wondering who she is, and then gets three other friends to wonder who she is too? Well...that would telling wouldn't it?

I read all the interactions and this just popped into my head, had to write it.

Discord has long been the last of his kind. Feeling lonely he searches for familiar creatures and finds some strange creatures that are an apparent subspecies of his, who knew?
These Homo Sapiens have long since left Equestria to start over for fun. Over time they lost their powers and began to make sense.
Most of them.
A small few still remember and know their origins. Or at least have an idea.
They came back.

Just a little mini-series on the antics of a few humans who come to Equestria.

Discord enlists the help of a long forgotten friend with a grudge against the princesses. This is the story of how old actions have consequences and can lead to true Regret.
The Elements, The Princesses maybe even Discord Himself will learn that when you give a Human magic and Happiness that they will do anything to hold on to it
Or at least it's memory.

(starts during the season 2 opener)
rating is subject to change
