Chrysalis couldn't help but worry that something would go wrong and interfere with her plans. To ensure that this doesn't happen, Chrysalis releases Discord from his stone prison and requests his aid. Even if Discord agrees, can Chrysalis really trust him? He may act a little crazy at times, but what could possibly go wrong? This takes place during the Royal Wedding.

The attack on Canterlot failed miserably, and has revealed the Changelings to all of Equestria. Now, they are hated creatures, often hunted down, and exiled from the land. Schism wakes, after the battle, confused, hurt, and alone. How will he deal with his position, and what will he do with what he learned from his brother? Can he finish what his brother started, or will he fail to finish what was started with that first pill?

Tags and Characters will be edited along the way, to better reflect the story as it progresses.

PLEASE NOTE: This story takes place between the episodes 'Boast Busters' and 'A Canterlot Wedding Part 1&2'. The episode 'Magic Duel' does not apply to this story. Twilight is not an Alicorn.

Trixie has lost everything. Her fame, friends, and motivation. She is taken under the teachings of Princess Luna who wants her to realize the meaning of magic, love and friendship. But who does Trixie really love? Only a certain purple unicorn comes to mind...

Queen Chrysalis and King Metamorphosis are two ruling changelings from two separate Hives, each one having a certain enmity toward one another due to events in their past. When they separately learn of the wedding between Princess Cadance and Shining Armor, they plan to ruin it by taking the places of the ponies to be wed. However, they are completely unaware of each other's involvement or intent.

With both putting on a deceptive act toward one another, what happens when the deceivers are unknowingly deceived themselves? And can Shining and Cadance, each believing they must save one another from a fake, be reunited, or will they fall prey to the entrapment of the changelings?

An alternate storyline to A Canterlot Wedding.

Dedicated to Victor Frost, for without his Colt Version of "This Day Aria", I might never have come up with this.

This is the story of an unsuccessful show mare heading for the City of Entertainment, Las Pegasus, hoping to renew her tarnished name. On her path in life, she will let her past torments and her pride dictate her actions, slowly bringing her to the edge of Equestria where unknown dangers lurk. She has yet to realize how long and tiring her tale will become and will never see the opportunities to get what she really wants.

Trixie Lulamoon, the personal student of Princess Luna, has finally, through a combination of reasoning, pleading, and whining, managed to convince the princess to invest some real responsibility in her, and give her a chance to show off everything she's been learning while under the alicorn's wing. Luna has appointed Trixie to be the official representative of her Night Court to the town of Ponyville, which this year will be hosting the Longest Night Celebration. Trixie is additionally tasked with overseeing the preparations for that festival.

At first, things seem to be going less than swimmingly. The catering is way too many kinds of apples, the weather patrol is far behind, the musical maestro is nowhere to be found, and the decorations could use significant toning down. To top it all off, Trixie can't help but feel that this was less an appointment to a position of real responsibility, and more an informal exile from the Night Court. Still, things could be worse: a mad alicorn goddess of fire and hate could escape from her millennial imprisonment on the sun and try and conquer Equestria.

But what are the chances of that?

After rising to stardom following Rarity's first, poorly received fashion show, Vinyl Scratch struggles to adapt to the higher class of life celebrity status bestows. Her personality and own moral values do not mix with the fake, corporate ideals of her agent, and her sponsors are only interested in her as long as she conforms to their expectations. Her life is barely her own and soon she will have to decide what's more important; her existing relationships, her fame and fortune, or perhaps something unexpected in the form of a refreshingly grounded Canterlot Elite who just invited her to breakfast during the Canterlot Music Convention.

A Vinyl Scratch x Octavia story where the two Ponies involved don't instantly form a romantic relationship the moment they meet, and instead allows it to grow over time with good old character development.

All criticism is welcome, and of course some spoilers follow in the comments below so please read cautiously.
