Chrysalis never thought Starlight Glimmer would offer to be her friend, so she accepts Starlight Glimmer's friendship and gains a new form of Changeling. Chrysalis is sorry for her actions, but the Changelings tell Chrysalis that she was only doing her duty as mother and queen of the changelings. Chrysalis decides she will live in Ponyville. Thorax accepts Chrysalis's decision, although he still thinks he isn't ready to be king of the Changelings.

Arriving in Ponyville, Chrysalis wonders with who she should live. Twilight offers Chrysalis to spend a day with each of her friends and with her, and who Chrysalis likes to spend time with, she could live with that pony. But over time, the friendship between Chrysalis and Twilight Sparkle may become something more.

During a climatic battle, a panicked magical blast from Twilight results in Chrysalis receiving a crippling wound. Twilight dedicates herself to Chrysalis' recovery and, hopefully, redemption.

As Twilight will soon learn, Chrysalis' frozen heart is one that won't easily be melted.

10/3 - Updated tag based on feedback.

Nothing foils a good plan for revenge like having your plot explained to your target, and then being forced to spend time with said target without murdering them.

This is a lesson Chrysalis will learn during one of the strangest days of her life, courtesy of an insane (or possibly just inane) draconequus.

As for Starlight, well, it's not like she was doing anything. What's a guidance counselor in a school of friends even do? Honestly.

TL;DR Discord tries to forcibly ship Starlight Glimmer and Chrysalis.

Atop the rubble of the changeling throne, Queen Chrysalis accepts Starlight's offer of redemption. The act sets her heart overflowing with love, and she can't wait to share it with the world. Starting, naturally, with the ponies around her.

Thorax seeks a new future for the changelings. There is one thing he doesn't understand however.

Every new era begins with the death of the last one.

Author's Notes: Hey guys long time no see. This is not a parody fic, nor do I have a gripe on how Chrysalis was treated in this episode as I expected most of this. I do however at times get some ideas that fit the canon episodes. Rarely so ((like my "Precious Soul of Mine" fanfic)) but it happens. This story is marked completed but I may or may not post something more to it.

The second changeling attack failed miserably. It seemed like Chrysalis had lost everything. Her Hive, her children, her throne, her glorious plans, her hostages: all gone. Running away from Starlight Glimmer's offer of friendship, Chrysalis contemplates her next move: going to Equestria in disguise ... again.

But something lingers in Chrysalis's mind, a thought from a long time ago.

Can the Princess of Friendship and her student help the former Changeling Queen after all?

With the creation of her new palace in the wake of Tirek's rampage, Twilight begins to settle and adjust to her new roles. That is, until an unusual visitor to her Court changes everything. How will Ponyville cope when it becomes host to a Changeling Hive?

This story is based off prompts originally written for the TwySalis Prompt Collab: Tainted Love.

When Princess Cadence went to the remote mountainside village of Mountain Meadow to check the veracity of the local matchmaker, she didn't expect to find the one pony who would have an edge over her competition.

It's been two years since Chrysalis and her hive's reformation, but tensions are high as ponies are still getting used to the idea of working with changelings. Twilight Sparkle, determined to open up Chrysalis to the idea of friendship, convinces her to attend the annual royal meeting. To everypony else, it's simply a mundane meeting to catch up on current events. To Chrysalis, she would be in a room with all those who were once her mortal enemy.

No pressure.

Rated for suggestive, sexy themes.

"I see a beautiful city and a brilliant people rising from this abyss. I see the lives for which I lay down my life, peaceful, useful, prosperous and happy. I see that I hold a sanctuary in their hearts, and in the hearts of their descendants, generations hence. It is a far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever done; it is a far, far better rest that I go to, than I have ever known."

Chrysalis has been under the training of Twilight Sparkle for two months now. She's found something, a true purpose.

Unfortunately, Celestia is still wary about her, and is making sure that the master of deception has really changed.

In the distance, an old friend has heard news of Chrysalis's dethronement, and is finally given the incentive to act a plan he's been preparing for decades.

Chrysalis must finally show the world she's prepared to change. That she'll be more than a hero.
