The Changeling Hives. Ever since their first unification over 20 years ago, they have been a nation of mystery and danger to the ponies of Equestria. Led by the One Queen Chrysalis, she has made the hatred towards the pony nation a cornerstone of the new changeling society, and now moves towards a new plan, a Great War that will engulf the continent. She will have her honor restored, or her and all changelings will die trying.

But what of the lower queens of other hives? While not in the limelight, they still have to lead their subjects and deal with the day-to-day governing of massive cities. And while Chrysalis may lead them all to victory, these minor royals still have their stories to tell.

Set in the world of the popular Hearts of Iron IV mod Equestria at War.

Hello, my name is Twilight Sparkle. My brothers are Shining Armor, captain of the Royal Guard, and a dragon named Spike that I hatched when I was little. I have five friends that help me wield the Elements of Harmony, artifacts that protect Equestria from evil. I have a few other friends that are less important, but still great ponies nonetheless.

One catch, though. I am also a changeling Queen, and the friends and family I just mentioned are all my subjects, and children as well. They don't even know it, but everything's working out alright, so no reason to tell them! After all, it's not like a giant wave of love energy could suddenly reveal all the changelings in Canterlot, right? Right?

Part 1, Revelation: Twilight Sparkle meets an old enemy that reveals a secret she's kept since she was named.

Part 2, Recollection: The Elements of Harmony try to get to the truth of the matter, changeling Queens begin their game of chess, Queen Citlali takes her Hive and runs from Canterlot.

Part 3, Reformation: Queen Citlali begins to grow her hive, Whitetail Hive takes some time to get used to the news, Princess Cadance dreams of a dark creature.

May 11-15, 2017: Featured for the maximum time... whoa.

Spike, like many teenage boys, is at a loss for romance. Kissing girls is as foreign as shedding for a pony. Seeking guidance, Spike turns to the one mare he trusts with such a matter: Cadence.

Taking him under her wing, Cadence sets up practice dates for the young dragon. But with each date, something grows underneath the surface. The dividing line blurs, and practice soon becomes reality...

Thanks to Vexy and The Abyss for kicking this fic into shape.

While solos are fine it never hurts to play a duet. Spike's sensitive ears drove him to seek out her soothing melodies, and Octavia's loneliness drove her to let him stay. A crossing of path's leads too a duet and new friendship.

SpikexOctavia fanfic with music references abound.

Newest chapter's pre-read by the talented Lium

.

It is better to love and have your heartbroken, than to not love and live to regret what could be. Sometime fears keeps us from being who we are and we build a wall to hold the fear, and our true selves, back. With a little experienced help Rainbow Dash learns a valuable lesson and takes a chance.

It has been five years since he first arrived in Ponyville, and Spike has grown both physically and emotionally. Yet even though he's remained infatuated with Rarity for so long, he's bottled up his feelings, until reality hits him, and his depression forces him to make certain decisions he may later come to regret. Now he must face reality, and all that it entails, including his own reflection, whether he likes it or not.

Spike's choices, however, affect not only him, but those closest to him as well. The six ponies he holds closest to his heart will bear witness to his suffering, and they themselves shall know love at its best...

And at its worst...

Rated Teen, because, just in case. Sometimes it's better to be safe rather than sorry. No sex or gore, just in case you were wondering.

Planned out and written previous to the airing of My Little Pony : Friendship is Magic Season 2 Episode 17. Special thanks to SocraticBrony for all the help and inspiration!

After having been stuck in the monotony of Starlight Glimmer’s village for so long, Night Glider has no idea what to do with her newfound freedom. Knowing nothing about her past and having no friends or family to return to, she decides to go to the Princess of Friendship to discover what it means to have friends, and hopefully discover what lies within her own past. With such mysteries to uncover, will the two become fast friends, or will it all fall apart when the going gets tough?

This story got a lot of build up before anything really happens!
Later there will be some heated scenes, but no clop!

The following story takes place in the Equestria at War universe. It contains no real spoilers for any nation, and does not require any prior knowledge of EaW to understand. Enjoy!

Though Queen Chrysalis knew that changelings could live almost anywhere, she was still surprised to hear about an isolated island nation of changelings on the other side of the world. This was quite the interesting development, as she was currently waging war with Equestria.

She had wondered if these foreign changelings might be interested in helping with her subjugation of ponykind. Though she had long since dissolved her diplomatic channels due to perceived incompetence, Chrysalis wanted to send some form of emissary to ask them to aid her cause.

And thus she sent one of her spies to visit Greneclyf, the island of harmonious changelings.

Nicholas doesn't really know Princess Celestia. Sure, he's met her once or twice, when Twilight was still trying to find a way to get him home. Exchanged pleasantries and what not. But never had he had a real, sit-down conversation with her.

Now, he's been summoned to Canterlot to work as Celestia's advisor. He has no other options but to accept.
