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.

This story is a sequel to Desperate Devotion

Married, happy and in love, Twilight and Chrysalis are in a good place in their lives. They're living in the Canterlot Castle, sitting where Celestia and Luna once sat. They have plenty of wonderful friends, and Equestria has been at peace for a long time. If things continue as they are, they could easily live simple, fulfilled lives until they grow old together.

Neither of them were ever very content with being content, though.

After a long time spent discussing it, they finally decide to have a child, and in typical over-the-top fashion decide to have Equestria's first ever half-pony, half-changeling child.

They have no idea what's coming.

While this is a sequel to Desperate Devotion, it's set many, many years in the future. Things have changed, some of which I've written the stories of, others which I haven't. You should be able to follow along no matter what you've read beforehand, (you don't even really need to read Desperate Devotion honestly) but the status quo won't be quite what you might expect.

King Sombra has been defeated once again. Once Grogar resurrects him the second time, Sombra is forced to be a permanent member of the Legion of Doom. Although Chrysalis, Tirek, and Cozy Glow do not quite like Sombra, they do what they can to make Sombra a member due to Grogar’s forceful biddings. However, as Sombra starts to know the three villains personally, his perspective starts to somewhat change.

(This is set after “The Beginning of the End” part 2 MLP:FIM Season 9 episode 2)

"The stars shall aid in her escape," it said.

It never said anything about a space bridge.

Megatron and his elite warriors had expected to teleport from the Oregon desert to Earth's moon. Instead they found themselves in pony bodies, stripped of most of their power, and forced to learn how to live like other organic life forms.

But Megatron has a plan. He will bide his time, learning about this new world and its new potential while his underlings try to find a way back to their home universe. If he can figure out a way to overthrow Celestia and conquer this land of ponies before then, so much the better.

This, of course, requires that his subordinates not act like idiots... and while he can count on Soundwave and Ravage, the same can't be said of Rumble, Frenzy, Laserbeak, Buzzsaw, Thundercracker or Skywarp.

And especially not Starscream.

A series of slice-of-life stories (with a little adventure) in which some of Ponyville's background ponies are more than... well... you know.

Queen Chrysalis, Lord Tirek, Cozy Glow and King Sombra are brought together to be part of the same team. Their task? Learn how to work together and defeat their enemies. They are not happy about it at all.

The story begins after The Beginning of the End - Part 1.

Many thanks to EverfreePony for her wonderful help with editing.

Engineer spent her childhood equipping the greatest army equestria had ever seen. But after it was defeated she was sealed in stone by the Alicorn Princesses.

Over a thousand years later Grogar decided to recruit a team of villans , and use them to conquer equestria.

He tracked down the Engineer and found her statue in the remains of the castle of the two sisters, he freed her from her stone prison and is offering her an opportunity for revenge.

(This is my first story any feedback would be appreciated)

In an alternative take on the grand finale, Chrysalis, Tirek and Cozy Glow betrayed the real Grogar. Overpowered and forced to team up with the Mane 6, they defeated the ancient wizard together. Tirek struggles with the memories of his brother and Cozy Glow questions her ideas of friendship and power. Together they travel to the land of centaurs to find answers to their problems and to understand friendship. Was Twilight right to let them free like that? And can they save Chrysalis from being consumed by self-doubt and lust for revenge?
(This is my first fic.)

This story is a sequel to Sniffles

Having recovered from the lowly sabotage that had seen her briefly bedridden, The Queen and her thoroughly useless human servant can now proceed with vengeance, domination, victory and all other things that come naturally to her.

Events conspire to make this difficult.

This story is a sequel to The Ending of the Beginning

The moments of our lives are fickle things. We never really know what moments we'll remember years down the road, and we surely have no idea how significant some moments can be until they're already long past.

For three former villains, a great number of moments occurred between their fateful meeting with the former Princesses of Equestria and their ultimate revenge on two callous ponies from Manehatten. Some moments were tiny, still others enormous, but there was one thing they all had in common; for this odd little family, they meant the world.

Step back and peer through the window at these moments, these scenes, in the lives of three creatures who united to destroy, but were bonded together forever by love.

Chrysalis might be one of the most evil, vile, and dastardly villains that Equestria has ever known. She might have been responsible for nearly destroying the world more than once, she might even be a soul-sicking, shapeshifting monster, but she is still a mare.

She had never been given a genuine, honest compliment from someone that wasn't under threat or stuffed into a feeding pod or mind controlled. Today that is going to change.

Cadence really hasn't happy about the whole thing.
