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?

Changelings are viewed as evil monsters hellbent on stealing love and feeding off of it. But how much of this is actually true?
Chrysalis is now a queen of a nearly extinct race as punishment for mistakes she made many months ago that led up to the invasion on Canterlot. This same mistake was influenced by her own weakness, one she must feed on.
Trying to keep this weakness under her mask, Chrysalis travels to the nearby town of Ponyville where she hunts for love for her to sustain herself long enough to find a suitable pony to help her rebirth her race. What she doesn't expect, is to find the Element of Magic welcoming her in, albeit under disguise. But what comes out of this small bud of possible friendship and simple need to feed?

Originally Bakmah Genesis, but then his life took a bad turn and he couldn't focus on this story anymore. He puts it up for adoption and guess who has it now?

Failing once in her attempt to take Canterlot and failing again in her attempt to take down Twilight, one would think Chrysalis would have cut her losses and let things be, but the queen has once again appeared, this time in broad daylight with no disguise and no army. Her weapon of choice? Diplomacy.

Now Twilight is having to deal with the changeling queen, but surely putting up with her antics will be worth the knowledge she's willing to provide about her mysterious race and the potential undiscovered agents still within their midst...right?

Takes place before Magical Mystery Cure and diverges from there.

Twilight is called to Canterlot Castle to help her marefriend with something. Twilight can't help but be happy to help and speed time with Luna, but a surprise awaits her. A surprise that Twilight seems to like.

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!?

Nightmare Moon has always felt negative emotions such as jealousy, envy, resentment, and hatred. But one thing she didn't expect was that a new emotion would be born in her and she would end up falling in love with the same pony that had defeated her at the night of her return to Equestria.

Twilight would never have imagined that Nightmare Moon would return. But, at the same time, she was happy to see her again. She knows that Nightmare Moon is evil, but is she to blame for Nightmare Moon being so beautiful?

It's been a few days since the Battle of the Bands, and memories of what happened during that day haunt Twilight, especially since her ex-crush made her cry and didn't even apologize to her.

Until one afternoon where she's crying in her bedroom, Luna comes and helps her with it. And who knows, Twilight might even fall in love with Luna.

Title Change very unlikely. Please PM me suggestions. Cover Art is also temporary but is of Lightning Sunrise.
Harry Potter, adopted as Lightning Sunrise, has spent from age 1 to 11 growing up somewhere other than with the Dursleys. How will this change things? Especially given he's a pony-adopted and raised changeling now.

Note: Death and Violence tags are for the opening and sparingly elsewhere.

Woo! Featured on both 2/22/2022 and 2/23/2022 for like 3 minutes each.

Twilight did her duty. She saved everypony she could, except herself. Now trapped by an evil cult, in more pain than she has even been in before, and dying on a sacrificial altar, she calls for help. The Nightmare answers.

Will Twilight become the next evil to threaten the world or will the Nightmare simply be glad to have some freedom? One thing is for certain, Twilight's life will never be the same again.
