When Princess Cadence and Shining Armor save Canterlot from Queen Chrysalis' plans to conquer Equestria, one changeling attempts to rebuild his life after becoming stranded in unfriendly territory.

" Can a Changeling ever really change it's shell?"

Ever since the Canterlot Invasion, changelings were feared and hated by all ponies. They were seen as vile, heartless monsters that should be avoided at all costs. But who would have guessed that a group of outcast changelings, separated from their hives fend for their lives by blending in with the ponies? The group struggles to not be exposed for the said "monstrosities" ponies think they are. Are they really the heartless creatures that ponies think they are or is there a heart under all that insectiod armor?

~Cancelled due to this being made back in middle school and I had no further plans for this :o ~

The attack on Canterlot was never meant to succeed. How could you harvest love from those that hate you? The true purpose was to harvest magic. And what better way to get magic flying than start a war?

Obsidian and several other changelings find themselves lost in Equestrian lands after the invasion on Canterlot. They eventually find themselves in some trouble when they're in Ponyville. Can they escape back to Chrysalis, or will they perish? Or would they find an entirely different solution?

After an airshow gone awry, Twilight and company encounter a changeling who claims to have changed his ways. Skeptical, the ponies seek out the princess for advice, but in response are given an unusual, if not faintly familiar mission.

Midnight is a changeling... who works and lives at the Golden Oaks Library with Twilight Sparkle herself. It wasn’t a very smart decision, but the reformed changeling needed a place to stay. Now she’s building herself a new life in Ponyville, but as the events of season three play out it gets increasingly harder to keep her identity secret. Combine that with her new friendship with Lyra and Bon Bon and sporadic appearances from the Doctor, can she keep her cover and defend her new life in Ponyville?

A colt has been sitting in a small dark room for Celestia knows how long. He can’t recollect anything, but knows he's there for something, something he did, but what? (I wanted to take a little break from my main story and made this, not sure if the comedic elements are strong enough for it to be listed as a comedy and I'm not sure the "dark" elements are strong enough for it to be listed as dark but 'eh, also not sure if it will turn out to be a dark fic or comedy. Most likely both. advice would be welcomed)

Unable to sleep after the events of her brother's wedding, Twilight Sparkle is walking in the woods and finds an injured changeling.

Changelings- creatures without wills who exist to serve a Queen. One changeling is different, she has a will and dreams of freedom.

Pincer is a changeling, a proud soldier of Queen Chrysalis. After the failed invasion of Canterlot, he finds himself trapped and at the mercy of Princess Celestia's Royal Guard. Believing that Celestia sees his species as nothing but soulless monsters, he prepares himself for the worst. The weeks crawl by, marked by an endless series of questions he will not answer for fear of endangering his friends and family at The Hive. As his nerves wear down and his interrogators learn just how ruthless he thinks they are, they have nothing to report but his belief that they will kill and destroy his kind without mercy.

Celestia steps in to prove him wrong, and what Pincer learns leaves him questioning everything he has ever known — but also gives him hope for what he'd never thought possible.
