They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but what if all who behold you see naught but a monster? Given the chance, can this view change? Sometimes, it just takes one person to reach out...and help.

As I'm sure you can tell by the dates of submission, this story was started quite some time ago. Instead of completely ignoring things that have happened since season 3 on, this will be an alternate reality that branched from shortly before Twilight began the path to become an alicorn.

As the years rolled by, Princess Celestia has sacrificed much for her people and even more for the peace. All she ever wanted was a choice slice. So it's really just too bad that things have a way to roundabout the way they do, even at the cost of one's sanity.

A few weeks ago, Chrysalis and her brood attacked Ponyville for revenge against Twilight. During the fight, the final spells of the two collide and create a portal that they're sucked into. The Princesses with the help of the others manage to summon them back only to find... that the two are marefriends!? How the buck did that happen!?

Chrysalis wakes from her exile to find that Princess Twilight has crashed in the forest around her new home. What will the once proud Changeling Queen do?

Running, it's all Chrysalis has ever done since she was born. Running from her emotions, from her heritage, from Celestia, and now she's on the run again, but this time is different. Twilight Sparkle doesn't give up as easily as Celestia did...

Chrylight in future chapters.

Twilight and Chrysalis spend Christmas together. The alicorn wants to use the concept to do something nice for her friends. The changeling just wants the four letter word. Being a princess means Twilight has to be more calm and collected when she makes decisions and when she reacts to the world around her. It's a good thing that she's been making progress on that or else the holiday would likely end up a flaming wreck, courtesy of her overzealous obsession with perfection.

Thankfully, the wishes of the pony and changeling are compatible this time.

NOTES
1. Soft holiday Chrylight fluff. Don't over-think it.
2. Rated teen for a little playfulness. Nothing too extreme.
3. Lyra needs to tone it down with the human craziness.
4. It's a good thing Pinkie Pie doesn't know about Christmas yet...right?
5. Based on setup from Queen No More.
6. Not a part of Hive Alive's official timeline.
7. Merry Christmas, my little Chrylighters!

Celestia had always thought she'd reached the pinnacle of fear when she fought against some of Equestria's greatest enemies.

As it turns out, however, nothing compares to explaining to Twilight's parents that she's in a relationship with their daughter.

After being the Princess' students for so long the two have grown close. Afte a while Twilight starts to worry that she's feeling things that shouldn't be felt to the Pony that demands such respect.

Disclaimer: The characters (except one or 2 OC’s) are property of Lauren Faust and Hasbro, this fanfic is mine and it was inspired by Bri-sta’s awesome picture “Love me!”, check out her gallery first =D!. Im focusing on Celestia so don’t expect to see much thinking or anything else from Twilight or anypony else ok?

“blablabla” normal talking

“blablabla” thinking

“BLABLABLA” shouting or internal shout if the case arrives

“Blablabla” shout or thinking or normal this means the character is doing it darkly almost dripping hate from each word

FB “Blablabla” flashback

Twilight is a princess, and traveling the land to meet ponies far and wide; an excellent opportunity to make more friends. So why is she so unhappy?
