When things don't go the way we hoped for, it's easy for ones mind to become clouded with grief. It's times like these that all seems lost with no way of recovery. However, sometimes, the thing that one needs most is someone to talk to. Someone who will listen to your aching heart. When the invasion of Canterlot didn't go as Chrysalis had planned, she placed a heavy weight on her heart that nopony would ever be willing to lift, nopony, except Doughnut Joe, that is.

For one thousand years, Nightmare Moon wandered the moon, seeking perfection.

She found only dust.

Chrysalis failed. The hive was attacked, destroyed completely. She barely escaped with her life. Luckily, another life escaped with her. Maybe this little hatchling can show her what it truly means to love.

Spending the holidays with your girlfriend's parents is never easy.

A Valentine's Day fic... sorta.

Alone and afraid, Sunset Shimmer has been living off of the streets in Canterlot ever since she ran away from home. She is barely holding on as it is and winter is coming soon, and Sunset doesn't know how she's going to survive this one. On a particularly cold night, she's out searching for something to eat when she bumps into the last pony she expects to see walking through the slums: Princess Celestia.

About two years after Chrysalis's failed attempt at taking over Canterlot, Chrysalis gets captured by the Royal Guard for attempting to attack Equestria once again. She gets sentenced to life in solitary confinement in the lowest depths of the Canterlot Dungeon. After a year of wishing for revenge, Chrysalis grows tired and begins to question her motives.

She comes to the realization that all she needed was to earn everyone's respect and love, rather than force it. However, she learned her lesson too late, and must endure the last moments of her seemingly futile existence.. with only a small glimmer of hope left to keep her alive.. and a chance to make a friend.

After Shining Armor and Princess Cadance all but obliterate the changeling army with their magic, Queen Chrysalis awakes to find the twisted corpses of her subjects. Blinded by grief, she's forced to make the decision between enacting her revenge against the Princesses that caused this calamity or saving her remaining subjects. It shouldn't be such a difficult decision, but what if saving her people means sacrificing herself?

Just how strong is Chrysalis' love for her changelings?
