I already made this thread in another changeling group, but fuck it, have this anyways.
The title says it all, this is just a list of my favourite stories that star changelings, you can reply with your own personal favourites. Note, stories with only reformed changelings as well as stories with only Chrysalis are not included. Hope this helps you find some gold!
Statuses may become inaccurate over time.
Red = Incomplete and inactive, will likely never be completed.A lot of red fics are actually really good, dont ignore them for this! Orange = Incomplete but not abandoned. Green = Completed. Clop = Porn, duh. Long = Contains 100k+ words.
Here’s a list of Changeling stories I’ve read and like:
Lives’ End Learning To Live Again The Bug in The Cave The Cobwebs Of Ignorance The Flower Ponies Tame The Changelings The Delicate Art of Changeling-Finding An Affliction of the Heart The Irony of Applejack The Sneezing Changeling Friendly Fire Dear Small Pony Book Cotton ‘n Greg Change of Life Thrown Abroad A Watchful Changeling
Of the stories I've read that aren't on the list, these are the ones I like the most: I am a zeppelin Changelings: the movie Queen Rarity (note: this one is pretty big, I'm still halfway through the story, and because it's an equestrian girls story it has a changeling concept that I haven't seen in any other stories yet)
my faves are as follows Vren55's Princess Celestia: The Changeling Queen and its sequals law abiding pony's Of The Hive series absolutely ANYTHING involving everyone's favorite confused changeling guard Idol hoves Tom117z's Change series blackwater's queen no more series the hilarious changeling space program by Kris Overstreet and the classic work that is Integration by Raugos
there are others but those are the ones that primarily focus on unreformed changelings and also i could remember of the top of my head
Definitely some great ones here, but I'm surprised not to see Shifting Melodies on the list. Fantastic fic, though quite a long one. Having all the clop available, but sorted to the side story is just a bonus.
7877667 It is no longer on my own list. What drew me to the story was that changelings were not ponies; a radical concept am I right? It was fun watching an alien mind, with alien values, cope with pony society. Now though? After mind rape by the queen just before the wedding it has been discovered that they are all modified, mentally, to be what they are. Idol is now a pony pony of the changeling ethnicity. Nothing in their biology, or even physiology, alters how they act. Cersis (cerses?), who was taken from the hive really young, is so painfully pony I question why she is a changeling in the first place (it adds nothing to the story). The greatest part of the story has now been removed.
Then there was the actual rape... which happened just after Chrysalis mind raped him. So... running on the orders "enjoy the wedding to the fullest" Idol forced himself on Topaz. Topaz, who not so secretly loves him, participated after the initial shock; or I assume as the actual porn wasn't written. So Topaz also rapes Idol as he is not in his right mind and is unable to stop/consent. This smacks in the face like those old fashioned romance novels (written by women for women) where the leading man and woman lock eyes, he rapes her and she declares that he loves her...
wtf... I have read honest porn books with more healthy relationships than Changeling of the Guard.
Pointed some of this out and am blocked by the author. I feel no shame in it to this day.
The first 150-200k words are a joy to read. After that it becomes cheap unimaginative trash not worth the time.

lol wut? i dont really get this, idol wasn't in his right mind, yes, but chrysalis never explicitly told idol to bang topaz. idol only did it because he always loved her, he just had to suppress those feelings until the wedding since he had the orders which forced him not to breed and thus not to be in a relationship.
the order of "enjoy the wedding to the fullest" must have just bypassed it, because if you're right; why would idol still stay with topaz after the wedding?
and where the hell did you get the idea that idol raped topaz? sure, he was very forward, but the scene right after the sex shows topaz quite satisfied. nothing implies he actually raped her.
even if you're right, topaz definetly didnt rape idol, atleast not on purpose, because she never knew he was mind raped.
unrelated, but the one of the main things i didnt like about the story was the infuriatingly delayed romance between topaz and idol. it was quite obvious they were eventually going to get together. but christ, it took so bloody long, i hated the fact that idol literally couldn't because of his orders.

There we go.
i am rather shocked Changeling of the Guard does not have a star beside it. I am also surprise Changeling Space Program isnt on the list lol
7877667
eh, i just personally dont like COTG as much as the others, its definetly alright though, and CSP is way too scifi for me
my faves are as follows
Vren55's Princess Celestia: The Changeling Queen and its sequals
law abiding pony's Of The Hive series
absolutely ANYTHING involving everyone's favorite confused changeling guard Idol hoves
Tom117z's Change series
blackwater's queen no more series
the hilarious changeling space program by Kris Overstreet
and the classic work that is Integration by Raugos
there are others but those are the ones that primarily focus on unreformed changelings and also i could remember of the top of my head
Definitely some great ones here, but I'm surprised not to see Shifting Melodies on the list. Fantastic fic, though quite a long one. Having all the clop available, but sorted to the side story is just a bonus.
