Life is strange.

I know this, always had. It's not exactly a secret. You can never guess what will happen to you next in this railcart ride called 'life'.

But heck, that's what makes it so fun.

Lost, starving, and hunted by the law, a lonely changeling finds a traveling entertainer who he plans on using to restore his energy by extracting as much love out of her as possible.

Too bad his target turns out to be Trixie.

After a brief violent encounter and some mutual blackmail, the two of them decide to perform together in front of the town to raise enough bits and love for them each to go their separate ways.

It works out better than they expected.

Inspired by KnightMysterio's take on the Nightmare-Timeline in the story Context

The Princess of the Sun has fallen, the Queen of the Night now takes her place.

To the surprise of many, Nightmare Moon isn't evil. Or insane for that matter. She is attempting to be a queen that can properly rule a nation she has not seen in a thousand years. Some will try to aide her, others will attempt to thwart her, but the Wrath of the Night is something not to take lightly.

However, Celestia may have made a mistake in letting Luna fade from history and the only mention of Nightmare Moon become a demonized fable- no one would take that very well in her place.

Features: Twilight reluctantly helping a Sane and Noble NMM, curious and confused guards, and ponies being reminded of their lost history.

After Twilight captures a changeling, Spike finds himself talking to the strange creature...

For those of you that have seen the mid-season 6 promo video, you'll know where I got the cover art. But actually, a lot of this story comes from a very old story that I wrote and never finished. The promo video gave me the idea to change the perspective of that story and shorten it to just Spike... befriending a changeling.

ACT One: (Chapters 1-10)
After a fatal tragedy, Twilight wakes up in a situation unlike anything she had experienced before. How is she supposed to react when she finds herself reincarnated as the daughter of Queen Chrysalis, the very one who orchestrated her assassination? Does she give into the rage and loss of her former self, or does she hold true to the magic of friendship?

ACT Two: Synopsis incoming

Habeas Brittle, a carefree changeling who left his hive, is attacked by a grim figure as he wanders through the Canterlot countryside. Wounded greatly in the scuffle, he is found and cared for by a filly belonging to a widowed mare with a dark past.
WARNING! Spoilers in Comments Section! You have been warned.

A few weeks after the Canterlot invasion Celestia works to piece together what happened as well as what to do about it.

This is a simple HiE-story with a Brony waking up in Equestria and trying to make the most of it. As a Changeling. Let me rephrase that: As a creature that is a natural predator to all beings capable of feeling emotions, especially our pastel colored skittle-ponies.

Oh well, it can't be that bad, right? Right?

This is my first story, so I hope of a lot of constructive criticism (grammatical or otherwise).
I don't know much about age-groups or tags (even after reading the FAQ), so I'm just gonna start with what I know is gonna happen and go from there.
Oh, and one thing: In this fic, all races are capitalized. I may change that later on.

Xûr, Agent of the Nine, has been sent to Equestria to seek out more of the strange coins his enigmatic masters value. His tireless search soon brings him to the kingdom of the changelings, who prove to be a most interesting group of clientele.

The pony who wishes to make friends with everyone.

The being who exists only to prolong his existence.
...
Chance brings the two together, showing each that there is always more to learn.

This can be considered a Starbound crossover, but it doesn't really hold relevance to the game beyond using a Novakid as the alien Twilight encounters, as evidenced by the cover art.
