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...

Why does Applejack act so protective around that stetson hat of hers, like an Ursa Major defending her cubs?

Rainbow Dash will learn why that hat is so valuable to her friend.

This story is a sequel to Angel Kisses

"Some ponies... just don't git it. They'll whine and cry; say stupid things they shouldn't to their parents. I know I did to, but... I shouldn't have. When you've been livin' life like I have for so long, you'll finally understand why I feel this way. Why I protect you when they're not even here... why I love you like as if you or ma never left me, still living here... I don't know why I'm down here today... I don't even understand. But I do know one thing... this father's day... is the first one that I haven't been able to hug you tightly or tell you that I love you. Well, I do love you; happy Father's Day, pa." ~ Filly Applejack

This story is a sequel to The Irony of Applejack

The secret's finally out. All of Equestria knows about Applejack's true identity, and the identities of her fellow changelings.
But even with all of the new responsibilities being laid upon the young changeling, surely asking for one day of normalcy – a single day of celebration and pageantry amongst her closest friends – couldn't be too much to ask for, right?
Right?

Written because my Muse is a fickle one, she is.
Set between the events of The Irony of Applejack and it's sequel, The Advent of Applejack.

This story is a sequel to 9 Hours Earlier- Prequel of Angel Kisses

Young Applejack comes home, and she has tears in her eyes. When her Granny asks her what is wrong, she learns that on Applejack's first day of school she was bullied by her classmates because of her freckles. Luckily, a certain pony has a cure for tears, and a bandage for broken hearts.

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...
