This story is a sequel to Blueblood Takes Over Equestria

Gilda has been in something of a rough patch lately, working dead-end job to dead-end job with nary a clue where to even find a dead-end job that doesn't completely suck. She's worked for complete idiots, she's worked for complete jerks, she's worked for stuffy tight-wads, but her newest boss is something else.

The trick is figuring out what that something is.

Princess Celestia sets out to reform Queen Chrysalis. Easier said than done.

I've done too much dark and serious stuff with Chrysalis. It's time to have some fun with her playful, snarky side.

Gilda and Celestia discuss Gilda's falling-out with Rainbow Dash. Nothing long, unexpected or dramatic here - I just had this kind of gentle scene stuck in my head, and needed to write it out.

Trixie decides to pay a visit to Ponyville for no reason at all. While walking through town, Trixie sees Princess Alicorn Twilight Sparkle and is immediately jealous of her status. She would do to anything to switch lives with her. She remembers a really complicated spell that can let her do just that. But right as she is about to perform it, a certain griffon gets in the way and something goes horribly wrong.

Fillydelphia! City of a thousand glittering opportunities! Come to Fillydelphia! Get your mane cut! Divorce your spouse! Buy a chariot! Rent a condo! Fillydelphia! The city that glows like the gin blossoms on its mayor’s face!

Trixie and Gilda have been in Fillydelphia for some time, and it’s almost, but not quite, to their taste. There’s no good work — at least, no good work with monthly paychecks, annual performance reviews and a promotion track that doesn’t involve murder — for a travelling illusionist and an uncertified bouncer, so to cover the rent they’ve had to resort to bad work.

Well, not bad bad work. And certainly not that sort of bad work. The hours are good, the pay is more than adequate, and the people they meet are interesting.

They cater to a certain clientele, ponies who know it’s not just what you have in life that makes you happy, but what you don’t have. Like vengeful rivals. Or snitches. Or nosy detectives.

Or dead bodies.

When that is the particular problem, Gilda and Trixie get a call. For a reasonable price and a good reference, they’ll make your problem disappear...

Life on the road isn't easy, even for the Great and Powerful Trixie. Her shows are rather hit or miss, and sometimes the place where she's staying is less than welcoming. So when a gig in the city turns out to be successful, Trixie is happy to treat herself at a small cafe.

Name's Gilda. Ya know, me n Dash did a bunch of crazy stuff back at flight camp. I remember this one time when we... eh, maybe I should start at the beginning... how we met.

Fluttershy's work day took a turn for the awkward when Dash's ex-friend, Gilda shows up at her doorstep begg-I mean demanding she fixes her sick mock turtle, Mochrie. Fluttershy must try to overcome her fear of the loudbeak griffin in order to help an ill creature. But is Gilda really all that bad?
