I know I said earlier that I had no plans to write anything else relating to Body And Mind. However, now that I've thought about it, there's one last chapter I want to write.
Queen Papilio, as the successor to Chrysalis, is an extremely important factor that will shape changeling society. It doesn't seem right to limit her presence in the story to a couple of off-hand mentions, so the new chapter will be a scene featuring her.
Fanfic authors have a good amount of leeway in how they write changelings without going against canon -- at least, as far as the show's concerned. I haven't really read the comics. They invaded Canterlot, they got blown away by magical love beams, and they weren't mentioned again. Whatever authors decide to go with, they have their reasons, and since I know many of my readers have their own headcanons, I thought it'd be interesting to share.
I've already had multiple people ask me this, so rather than try to address every single comment individually, I felt it best to make this a blog post.
I'm sure it hasn't escaped people's notice that the most recent chapter of Body And Mind has had the longest delay of any since I first put up the story.
