This story is a sequel to A "warm" Distraction

Meet Loveling, the adoptive daughter of Princess Cadance and Shining Armor, but Loveling is not what she seems to be. She is, in fact, the last surviving Changeling, given to Cadance by Chrysalis before the Changeling Queen froze to death. Out of guilt and responsibility, Cadance and Armor chose to raise this Changeling as if she was their own foal. But there are still old feelings and past resentments that may make little Loveling's life a tad difficult.

It has been almost two years since her plan failed. In that time, Queen Chrysalis, and the rest of the Changeling race has whittled down to less than a tenth. Now, huddled and cold in some dank cave, on Hearth's Warming Eve no less, Chrysalis and her remaining Changelings are cold and hungry. To lift their spirits and warm their hearts, Chrysalis reads them an old story to help them prepare for the following day.
This story is a tearjerker. The next chapter will have the fate of the Changelings, but don't get your hopes up.
