This story is a sequel to The Village Called Respite

There is a day those mischievous, playful changelings of Respite hold most important of all. The day Queen Serenitatem set aside to give thanks to the ponies who shared love, and one where love between races so often thrives.

For two fillies, the challenge isn't so much the gifts they know they'll receive from the nymphs they so adore, those terrible twins. It's the fact that no Respite pony worth their tail has ever let their changeling friends get away with giving a gift without receiving one in turn, or sneaking a peek to make sure they offer something just that much more in value. Especially since one has every intention to make this day the start of a wonderful relationship between herself and the beautiful nymph who makes her chest fill with fluff and butterflies.

Drone 319, Queen Chrysalis's top spy in Ponyville, finds himself hovering over Ciderfest tied to a balloon. Why? He doesn't know. When asked what he's doing, he says the first thing that comes to mind to keep his cover.

"I'm a Zeppelin."

[Queen of Queens is now an audiobook! Part 1, part 2.]

Our kind has it that the life of a queen is the happiest, for they are blessed with the shortest time in this world. A mighty queen will be remembered for eternity, forever residing in the hearts of her people. The greatest tragedy a queen can suffer is to be forgotten – to be stricken from history.

Major Sky Buster had been put out to pasture long ago, no longer able to keep up with the strenuous career of a Royal Guard. Now as the last surviving member of his regiment, he will need to rise to the challenge of the changeling invasion despite his age and infirmity. For not even the risk of death can keep the Royal Guard from rising in response to the bugle’s last call.

Bugle Call : Alarm
Bugle Call : To Arms

Done in respect for Veteran’s Day, and all those who laid down their lives so we might live free.

It's been a bad day for you. And it only gets worse when you com home from school to find a changing on your bed, hogging your pillow. Your soft precious pillow, that you'd been looking forward to all day. You're not too happy about it.
------------------------------------------
Just a little something that I came up with, after thinking about changelings. I'm aware that this isn't a terribly original story idea, and if it seems too much like other stories I'll take it down. Also, this is my first-ish attempt at comedy. You've been warned.

We are hated, disrespected, hunted, killed, banished.

We aren't respected as living beings.

So what are we gonna do? We're gonna fight for our lives.

We are changelings, and we deserve respect.

Like ponies, changelings can get pretty paranoid at times. After all, it's not every day that a changeling gets kicked out of the hive for being a pony.

After three weeks of preparation, the plan was now set to begin. It was the last piece of the puzzle. All he had to do was show them, and hope that they would be willing to help. Otherwise, all was in vain, and everything they had been planning and fighting for would be over.

This is Official Canon of the story Changeling Doll. If you haven't read any of the Changeling Doll, I highly recommend that you read until at least chapter 9.

This story follows the changeling known as White Lie and his experience with the Princess of Love and the Captain of the Royal Guard. This is the serious side of the story, as least for the first little bit. Not meant to be comedic (yet). Sorry.

Every week around the same time, Skywrite the pegasus leaves his little cottage in the woods to “pick up groceries,” and every week around the same time, Petalgrown the pegasus welcomes him home with a few hours of cuddling and his favorite dinner on the table. Of course, not everything here is as it seems. For one thing, there’s the dinner. French fried potatoes? Who’s ever heard of such a thing!? For another thing, there’s the way Sky looks at his hooves sometimes, as if trying to will something else to be there. Also, as a footnote, Petalgrown is one of the hundreds of changelings thrown free of Canterlot during the failed invasion attempt, and has been living off Skywrite’s strange, fiery love ever since.

As time goes on and questions about the strange, loving pegasus start piling up, she grows determined to discover the truth behind the pony she finds herself growing more and more intrigued with. Of course, it could be something even crazier than “love-sucking, shape-changing bug-pony,” but that’s just speculation. After all, there’s no way a pony could ever hide such a strange secret from a creature born of secrets, right? Why, it would take something very unpony-like to pull that off, wouldn’t it?

"Dear Princess Celestia, as your (former) most faithful student, I feel I have to warn you that this is probably a trap. Chrysalis cannot possibly be serious about this. Why would anyone, much less her, want to shoot a documentary on us?"

Chrysalis, queen of all the changeling hives and infinitely cunning architect of their plans to conquer Equestria, has a problem: She knows diddly-squat about ponies. But Chrysalis is cleverer than most—or all—changelings, and she's already devised a brilliant solution to this trifling issue: Make a movie about them.
