Most ponies do not want to be replaced by a changeling.
Most ponies find that prospect, frankly, rather unnerving.
Most ponies want to be something other than changeling food.
Most ponies who feed changelings willingly, though few, still want a normal life.
Most ponies would rather not spend the rest of their lives suspended in a cocoon.

Status Updates:

• 2024 Nov 4: I'm also unsure whether to continue, so the current status is "incomplete if you want more."
• 2024 Nov 7: Whoa! Did not expect this much interest, thank y'all so much! Yeah, I'll continue this. Right now I'm thinking around 4 chapters, but that might change.
• 2025 Jan 7: I want to add the Mystery tag, but I'm not sure which other genre tag it should replace. Comedy, maybe? And I now expect this story to be at least 6 chapters long, probably longer. My current pace is 1 chapter per month, but that may change.
• 2025 Jun 29: ...Well, that changed. Sorry. Writing chapter 5 is taking way longer than I expected, but I plan to post it in late July. In other news, I cleaned up some grammar/PoV issues in the first four chapters for the EqD submission. I also swapped a genre tag from Dark to Drama.

This story is a sequel to Second Impact

It's Christmas in July as Bitter Honey and Gretchen offer up their small ways to help heal their fractured families for the holiday season.

(Contains some strong language, references to child abuse, and political statements being shouted randomly)

Warning: Some Portal 2 Spoilers. Read at your own risk.
A Portal, MLP Crossover.

Long ago, before the fall of Princess Luna, before the rule of Discord, there existed another race of pony; The lamia, or snake ponies, feared by all of pony kind as mighty hunters and predators. When the Two Sisters rose to power, no longer able to stand by and watch as the lamia preyed on their subjects, they decided to put an end to the lamia’s reign of terror. Leading their army straight into the capital of the lamia they slew their leader, along with any lamia they encountered along the way.

Using a shapeshifting ability gifted to them by an ancient relic, the scattered remnants of the lamia managed to stay hidden for over a millennium. In the rare case that one of their kin was discovered, they were hunted down and persecuted without so much as a trial. Adapting to the lifestyle of the ponies, the lamia live in constant fear of one day having their true identity discovered.

Tired of living in constant fear, of hiding from her neighbors, and not caring about the consequences of being caught, one lamia decides to leave home and move to a friendly little town in the center of Equestria. Little does she know that something as small as moving to another town could set off a chain of events that will change relations between the lamia and the ponies forever...

The prologue contains some dark themes, as well as a bit of gore, however, that is the only chapter that contains them.

*EDIT* Okay, okay. You guys win - I'll write an additional chapter or two. I've marked this story 'Incomplete' for now. Follow up chapter has been done. If you want more, let me know. I'm sure there are a few other characters I could write a chapter on (Except for the dragons, of course)

*DOUBLE EDIT* Okay, wow. I seriously didn't expect this to take off as well as it has. This is honestly probably one of the best days of my life. I'm so glad and happy that you've all enjoyed the story.

This story is a sequel to Past Sins

In the wake of the battle with Tirek, Twilight Sparkle becomes fixated on restoring Golden Oaks Library. After all, it was home for her little family of three. But as her attempts to repair the books and tree continuously fail, her friends must take matters into their own hooves. Discord, as the good friend he is, tosses Twilight and her extended family into an unexpected adventure while Twilight's other friends get to work on the new crystal palace.

All together, they'll do everything to ensure Twilight and her family have a place to call home when they reach the end of the road.

Based on the Equestria at War universe.

In the year 1011 ALB, Queen Chrysalis declared war on Equestria. She and her High Command believed that the Equestrians would be easily crushed underneath the treads of their tanks and pushed back by their powerful changeling rifles. However, they were quickly proven wrong as their forces met the heavily fortified positions of the Equestrian military. After months of a painful stalemate, the High Command had a brilliant idea. They began deploying infiltrators into the Equestrian fortifications to weaken and surprise the defenders for the oncoming attackers.

One particular changeling was deployed to an Equestrian fortification, weeks in advance. On the promised day, he sits in a trench, waiting for the arrival of his brothers and sisters. But, will they come? And what happens to the mare that he became friends with if they do come?

Now with reading by Fire Hearth Studios!
