At first she thought they were storm clouds. That is, until she heard the buzzing. That was the first time she heard of the changelings. But it would be eternities before she could forget the things she saw.
Canterlot has fallen. The Princesses are the prisoners. And now, every pony lives in terror of being the next meal of the changeling invaders—because they've seen what happens. To be drained completely of love, it's said to be a fate worse than death. But a scraggly band of survivors have managed to come together, hiding deep in the shadow of the Everfree. It soon becomes clear the world they once knew, a world of happiness and freedom, will forever more be nothing but a memory. But maybe, together, they can do more than just survive in this new changeling-choked Equestria. Maybe they can do more; live, thrive, and find some semblance of peace.
But first, they'll have to survive.
Takes place in the changeling run au shown in the season five finale. For simplicity's sake, I'll just call it the Changlingverse. A story about the Great and Powerful Trixie.
You know, it would really help the readers if they knew going in, who the main character(s) was.
Just saying, it's not that hard to do with character tags, and it'll definitely help when trying to put this story in character focused groups.
One correction:
The word you want there is with, not will.
But that's a minor typo. Beyond that, I think this is a solid place to start. I want to read more about a master illusionist trying to survive the apocalypse of creatures whose primary survival mechanism is to cast illusions on themselves. That has all kinds of potential.

Whoops! Fixing that right now-and thanks, I think it's going to be really fun to write-I hope the story can live up to the premise!
Why doesn't this story have a changeling tag?

Sorry 'bout that you two! I thought I'd already added up that tag, looks like I was wrong!
