Zeil an injured changling takes the form of a zebra in hopes of receaving first aid from the enchantress of the everfree forest. However, he starts developing feelings for her and wonders, Can a changling love? and if so, will she return his love?
A river in the Everfree, impossible to cross, is calling Twilight to the opposite bank. Zecora finds her there and trains her in Zebrican magic to get her across. As they work, as the river beckons to Twilight's very bones, new feelings bloom.
[Hiatus] Instead of landing in the Badlands after the failed changeling coup, Chrysalis awakes in the Everfree, under the care of Zecora. She's in no shape to fly or use magic, so she'll have to tolerate her annoying caretaker... for now.
Rarity realized a long time ago that Zecora wasn't scary or threatening. But after agreeing to help the Zebra to help overcome her own guilt of avoiding her for so long, will the unicorn realize something more?
