This story is a sequel to The Irony of Applejack

Warning: this story is a sequel. Therefore, it is highly recommended that you read the prequel first before continuing!

Over half a year has passed since the changeling attack on Ponyville, and Applejack would like to think things have finally settled down. Much has changed for the young changeling, and all of Equestria in kind. The new district in Ponyville proves that, along with the town's many new residents.
But there is much the young queen does not yet know about being a changeling. Some things, she will learn, can be chosen, while others will be chosen for her. With new allies and enemies emerging all around her, Applejack must discover what it truly means to rule before the choice is taken from her forever, and the history of the changelings repeats itself, once again...

While out searching for a certain book, Princess Twilight Sparkle caught wind of Queen Chrysalis near her castle. Knowing Starlight Glimmer was there and that Chrysalis still wanted her head for "stealing" her hive, Twilight assumed the worst.

But once she rushed to the castle, instead of a fight to a death, Twilight found...something else.

And that might only be half of the surprise!

Since his release and redemption, Discord has gotten to know Fluttershy's friends very well but he's never done the same with her family. As they're important to her (and she's important to him), the Lord of Chaos takes it upon himself to make the introductions.

Unfortunately, he decides that the best place to start is with her brother, Zephyr Breeze.

This story is a sequel to Continue?

After learning the shocking secret that a highly helpful "Continue Screen" exists beyond death, Twilight Sparkle is even more surprised to discover it comes with the ability to relive and explore her past adventures.

It even comes with an added difficulty option. But is Twilight Sparkle truly ready for her life's greatest battles on Hard Mode?

After Cozy Glow is caught and the world is saved, a single mare has the nerve to blame the hero of the hour for the near destruction of Equestria.

No one can top Tempest for long-wearing yet perfect looks. But how does she do it? What's her secret? Rarity wants to know. And then... she finds out...

A fun, quickie one-shot, not set in any specific AU, though it's compatible with several of my other Tempest stories.

For most of Applejack's life, she didn't know what she was. True, she understood who she was well enough.
But ponies don't change shapes, nor do they get strength from love.
Applejack never thought too hard on it... until the events of a certain wedding brought about some harsh realizations.
Now, with Equestria still reeling from the surprise attack, will Applejack manage to come to terms with what she is? Will she even be able to keep her secret safe?
For if the royal guards don't get her first, the conspirators in the shadows just might...

Chrysalis had been in exile for some time now, and had found a quiet life in the forest, talking to herself and to wooden replicas of her subjects and enemies.
But her crazed peace was interrupted when Discord started visiting her lair, annoying her with questions and tricks that according to him, were to amuse her, but looked more like he was just mocking her.
But today is different.

Today he brings an offer to her.

From one villain to another.

When Twilight needs a pardon, Celestia is there to provide. When Twilight doesn’t need one, Celestia still provides.

Chrysalis, now ex-queen of changelings and reformed by Starlight, decides to live in the castle of friendship together with Twilight, Spike and Starlight. Everything would be wonderful, if she weren't woken up by Twilight every morning to see her friends sing the opening and have her appear in the photo. Can't an ex-queen of changelings sleep any more now?
