Chrysalis is hungry, and so is her brood. Even after sacrificing half her forces to the other, they would not be able to hold out in their current home any longer. It was time to move. There were two things that Chrysalis wanted from her new hive once they moved in. First, they had to have a good source of food nearby. And second, to get revenge on Twilight Sparkle. Why Twilight? Because she was the one who realised she was fake of course.
Even if it means pretending to be an idiotic pony, her brood must be fed first. Her children must not be left to starve. Revenge can come later.
But it will come.
Chapters (1)
The dark tag makes me worry. But the synopsis almost makes me wish for what I've wanted for a while. A Chrysalis as pony subversively integrated into Equestria. After all. She had only recently discovered Equestria when she led the invasion.
Also what's with the AU tag?

hrm I can't remember, I think I'll remove it.
Could you rephrase?

Basically she lives as a pony for a while out of survival rather than a mission agenda.
And she likes it.

Wait, isn't she doing that right now?
Sure she has revenge on the mind, but survival comes first.
Hence why it's called 'for her brood'
Basically.
But it's more the outcome I'm fixated on.
Live as a pony long enough you might start to like it. Might even prefer it. Might even fight to protect it.

You'll get no spoilers outta me
>>>Luckily, Ponyville wasn’t as well protected as Canterlot, and she had a score to settle.>>>
Yes, because in a realistic setting, no one would ever guard the place where the 6 most important ponies on the planet besides Equestria besides the Princesses live, and they certainly would never have better methods for revealing the most dangerous race on the planet.
In so many dark fictional worlds, ponies never seem to have a shred of tactical ability.

Granted you have a point, but I'm too tired to think of a good comeback.
