I'm rather enjoying the remake of it so far. I always felt the original story was a little too silly, too 'crack' level, to really sit down and enjoy. Seeing it play out and taken more seriously would be nice.

I am super impressed with this version I love the total different look at the hole story line.

Although I would have liked to see a bit more of the conversation in the first scene of this chapter, overall I find this much more interesting than the original.

"WHAT RIGHT DOES SHE HAVE?"

First come, first serve, yo!

"Halt!" He grinned wide as they jumped; he got all the fun jobs.

Flash, you dick.

With a happy smile, the changeling's eyes crossed and he fell down and started nuzzling at Cadance's hooves.

CocaineLove's a helluva drug!

First acquisition has been made!
At least he doesn't need to be stressed out as much anymore, right?
Keep going! ;)

Changeling went from Pegasus to unicorn. Did he change at Canterlot? Or on the train?

Also, the Crystal Empire appeared WAAAAY after the wedding, afaik. AU tag?

7438013 Crystal Empire was S3EP1&2, Wedding was end of S2. The way they have spaced out the show as being 'only two years have passed' it had to have been less than a month, I shortened it down to a week.

He got on the train a pegasus, grumbled about making allowances for a horn that wasn't there, got off a unicorn.

Seems legit. I rescind my statements.

7438053 I watched Canterlot Wedding (again... oh glob how many times have I watched this?) and then The Crystal Empire just to make sure I had things straight in my head.

It still amazes me that you found a way to make changelings as adorable as ponies, if not even moreso.

This looks promising, I did like the original but I felt that Shining Armor accepted his new situation too quickly. Even with Cadence's supporting him, which probably help him bare with the situation at least, I feel that he should have gone trough all the the seven stages of grief or at least try to find a possible cure before it is "too late" to change and ultimately failed. I would also have liked to know how Cadence and Shiny manged to integrate the Changelings into the Crystal Empire and how the Changelings would adapt to the pony way of life with some hiccup along the way.

7443462 If those were the problems you had with the comedy version, then you should really keep an eye on this. As you can see, I am taking my time. Establishing the beginnings of Chrysalis' infatuation with Shining, why she was sending changelings to keep an eye on him, how the first of them was discovered, and yes, Shining will need a lot more kid-gloves and hugs by Cadance. Thanks for leaving a comment!

7436455 Oh evil pun is noticed. Although this story winged into my tracking list and sent me into a buzz feed . I do care-a-pace is set that makes it mostly enjoyable e-nymph that I don't want to stop reading. I really do thr-hive on egging Damaged onwards with his changeling stories.

You're speeding through the narrative at a bizarre pace, and skipping over plenty of opportunity for details. While such a pace is fine for comedy, it doesn't really work for serious storytelling.

8951425 Absolutely. I've improved a lot since I started this story.
