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

This story is a sequel to Queen No More

Twilight Sparkle made the most foolish and selfless decision possible. She saved the life of Queen Chrysalis. The dynamics of Twilight's relationships begin to change as Chrysalis introduces the changeling hivemind to her pony caretaker. Chrysalis' only hope was to relieve her loneliness, but events begin to unfold that will change Equestria forever.

Nothing is stronger than the power of redemption...

NOTES
1. This is the sequel to Queen No More but there is a time jump between its end and Hive Alive's beginning.
2. This is Alternate universe due to the fact that this story will run off of a disparate timeline. Events forward of season 2 may be similar OR significantly altered.
3. There is mention in Chapter 3 of an old changeling tale titled As a Star. A version of this has been written by Farseer.

NO MORE UPDATES: The story is complete. A sequel has been made: Queen of Equestria.

Princess Twilight has to marry wealth to save her kingdom, but the king's not what she expected. What's worse, while she's to get closer to the king, she finds herself growing fonder of his captain. While at the same time the king finds he's growing closer to another mare, one who he feels a deep connection to like never before. When so many things stand between the pairs what will they decide to do in the end? Which will the two choose at the end of this game Love or Power? And what will their choices mean at the end?

A/N The *sex* tag is just for implied themes, there is nothing explicit in this story.

Twilight had always been the one to save the day, but what happens when she is the one in need of saving. The Changeling queen is back and out for revenge.

Twilight is just adjusting to her duties as the princess of friendship, and what that really means, but she is not just that with her special talent being magic her hands are always full. Then when Flash sentry is assigned as not just one of her new guards, but her personal guard, things change. Just as the two realize their true feelings for each other the changeling queen comes and kidnaps twilight. But she’s not interested in feeding, she out for revenge. Can Flash and the other elements of harmony get to her in time?

EDIT: Featured... nearing 1000 Favorites... multiple pages of comments (swoons)

Thanks for everything guys. I never expected this thing to get so popular. I need to rework the second chapter, but it looks like there's going to be a blue moon every Friday for a while yet. Thanks again for your support and please keep reading and reviewing!

EDIT2: I've updated the character list again, a little preview of the second story arc...

EDIT 3: Just doing a quick character update to account for changes made to the next Arc...

The sun has set and risen many times after the changeling's attack at the royal wedding. Even as months past and the wounds left to Canterlot begin to mend, scars remain, perhaps unable to heal...
Such scars riddle the changeling queen, scars from a past that nopony alive remembers, save Celestia. Visiting Celestia in the middle of the night, she taints the air with a threat, or perhaps a promise?
Celestia contacts the bearers, requesting that they come to canterlot in case it needs more defense then Shining Armor and the guard can give, only to here something disturbing.

Twilight is gone, tearing away the greatest weapon they have.

Featured Twice, I'm not sure of the first date, but also on 1/13/15

It was supposed to be a formal visit. The Princesses would come, say somethings, and leave. But during Celestia's speech, somepony turned Luna into a target. Before the Princesses could even blink the guards had tackled a pony in the crowds, and a stallion lay dying at Luna's hooves, whispering his last words into his young daughters ear. Then His last breath escaped him, leaving his daughter to cry over his broken body, leaving her alone in a cruel world. And Luna feels responsible.

What happens next? Only time will tell. But I can tell you, that both their lives, will be affected greatly.

{I got rid of the Tragedy tag, because there was only one tragedy and I suck at making sad things. I might put the Tragedy tag back up if I fit in another terribly incident, which I'm not saying I will, but I might.}

This story is a sequel to Of the Hive

Having fully embraced her new changeling heritage, Twilight Sparkle turns to the past to learn more about her people. A difficult task, given that every other queen cares next to nothing about it.

What she finds will shed unwanted light on a secret better left forgotten.

Twilight's life is changing very quickly and there is nothing she can do to stop it. Will Princess Celestia still look at her the same way? Will any of her friends? Is the pain worth it if they cannot accept her changes, or is it better to just join the starving?
