Doctor Perseus


I'm just a guy who loves to write.

Queen Chrysalis wasn't always a love-consuming monster of manipulation. In a strange world very different from Equestria several years in the past, she's a young woman named Chrissie with a simple life and someone who loves her. But when her love is stolen from her, she will risk everything to get him back; only to seal her fate when she brings about the wrath of a heartless queen.

A suicide mission, to save the least.

I think you mean "say the least".

A feel that made her quickly dislike being in their presence. "Again I ask, what's going on?"

I think you mean "feeling".

Are taking ponies really that hard for you to believe?

I think you mean "talking ponies". Sorry. :twilightsheepish:

Okay, enough with the technical things.

"Wait! Chrysalis!" Viper called. Chrysalis stopped and glanced back at Viper. "Before you go...can you at least tell me who it is you're getting revenge on?"
Chrysalis's face became stern and cold, pure hatred oozed from every pore on her face. "Her name is Cora: the Queen of Hearts. And she's going to pay for what she did to me."

Oh my gosh! This is a crossover with Once Upon a Time/Once Upon a Time in Wonderland! I knew that title seemed familiar. It's like from Season 2's "The Miller's Daughter" right. This is like a double fangasm here! So intense. What does it mean? :rainbowkiss:

Chrissie opened her sharp green eyes to see rays of sunshine pouring in through her bedroom window.

Just like sometimes scenes on Once open up with close ups of people opening their eyes. :pinkiegasp:

Chrissie happily received the danish and took a small bite. "And, once again, you are my knight in shining armor."
"I've certainly developed a talent for being that lately. Maybe I should change my name to that. Sir Shining Armor!"
"Please don't." Chrissie gave an extremely deadpan expression. "That would be really pompous. Even for you. Stick with Aaron."

Kind of reminds me of Prince Charming.

The other fountain was a statue of an impish man with messy hair and fancy clothing, which had water pouring out of his ears and nose.

Rumplestiltskin.

So far so good. You've done an excellent job capturing the feel of Once Upon a Time and giving Chrysalis a Once-style backstory. Also an excellent job getting all the characters from Once in character. You captured Will particularly well. Let see where this goes and what Chrissie's plan for revenge against Cora turns out to be.

With a twirl of her finger, the changeling corpse transformed into a small, glass vial.

So, Chrysalis' body became the vial Cora stored the ashes of the wardrobe that originally sent Emma to the Land Without Magic.

Once again with Hook's appearance in the beginning, you have quite the command of Once characters.

So, in the end, Chrysalis was responsible for Cora's death. Kind of lets Snow White off the hook. Just a little.

I wonder though how is it that Cora knows what Changelings are and how she happens to have a potion that turns people into them. Perhaps she's been to Equestria through Jefferson the Mad Hatter or something. I also wonder if Aaron is supposed to be the Wonderland version of Shining Armor. Or perhaps he was reincarnated as Shining Armor in Equestria. It's also interesting that Equestrians have a better command of traveling between worlds. Equestria Girls is proof of that. I really enjoyed Chrissie's characterization throughout. She kind of has a bit of Alice's spunkiness but also Regina's heartbreak induced vindictiveness. You can see the Alice in her when she breaks into Cora's vault the exact same way Alice does and when she's hanging out with Will and Rabbit. You also mastered the characters of Once Upon a Time and reasonably situated the events of this story within those of the show. You also really captured the spirit of Once. I kind of want to see more Once fanfics from you now. Would be as great as all the MLP stuff you do. Still though, the one problem with this story I see is that it doesn't seem overly accessible to those among your readers who haven't watched Once Upon a Time like me. Overall, I thought this story was magnificent. Keep up the very good work. :pinkiehappy:

Still though, the one problem with this story I see is that it doesn't seem overly accessible to those among your readers who haven't watched Once Upon a Time like me.

I'm aware that this story probably won't reach that big of an audience but it's a story that I really wanted to write and I'll be fine if only a small amount of people read it and enjoy it. There's not a whole lot of MLP/OUAT crossovers out there (in fact, including mine, there's now only a total of five on Fanfiction.net) and, hopefully, the amount of people out there who happen to be fans of both MLP and OUAT will enjoy this story like you did. :twilightsmile:

4418784 Well, at least it makes me more excited to see a bit of Once Upon a Time in your next "season" of Doctor Whooves.
