I was born a changeling. I was given a false set of memories, set on an espionage mission amongst ponies, then made to forget it all. When the time came to remember, I was exposed, and they failed me. They expected I will return to them, but I refused, and sided with the enemy. Now I must figure out a way to never let them rule over me again. Also, being a changeling is just too weird for me.
Huge thanks to my proofreader, Algoroth, for fixing my grammar and pointing out some logical discrepancies.
Covert art was done by me.
Chapters (6)
I can't help but imagine that this was happening somewhere during the invasion:
Alright, an good start, I'll keep an eye on this story.
Interesting, I'll be keeping an eye on this one.
Btw,
ascent
shouldn't this be telepathic?

Thank you, you're right on both accounts.
bam. Like number 10
I like this so far.

"was not to making"? This sounds strange.

Whoops it seems my proofreader could use a proofreader of his own. Thanks for pointing these out.
Poor Pearly.

Man, this guy just cant catch a break.
Wait what?
*checks the activity. Sees that it now says completed*
WHAT!?!?
I DEMAND A SEQUEL!!!
Welp it’s the end. Great story.

I'm not making any promises regarding a sequel, but I'm happy you enjoyed my work!

I would very much enjoy seeing this story get a sequel.
I think she maybe knows but feels bad for how the changelings are being treated. Maybe. We'll see.
Hahaha yup saw this coming
...plushies?
Uh... does Pearly have some weird fetishes I should know about?
Uh... did I miss an explanation for why he has his memories...? It was "interrupted", but... by what? That was never made clear.
Great story, though.

Now that you mentioned the interruption, I went back and checked, and you're right. There was an explanation for it in my notes, but I never fully developed it. Gotta go back and fix it sometime, thanks for pointing it out.
And regarding his memories, they were put in his head by Chrysalis in the past. Is that what's got you confused?

No, I was just confused with him keeping them after the recollector was put on him (and I guess that confusion was justified, lol)
I've read many, many stories just like this one, but for some reason, I never get tired of them. This is indeed one of the good ones, too.
Very nicely done.
It's been a long time since I found a changeling fic with this sort characterization and tone to it. I think the last time was either Fragments or Without a Hive, both of which I read at least three years ago.
I think by freaky she means kinky.

CK YOU CHRYSABITCH!

You should have seen the first draft of that scene. It wasn't quite so family friendly.
A solid story that deserves more attention. The plot point of what exactly is going on with his pre-pony past and Chrysalis stopped short of being fully answered, but it doesn't really detract from the story. We found out enough to paint the broad strokes of what is relevant to his current existence.
Good Job. I'll look if there's a sequel.
Quadruple whiplash.
... Sergeant "Horse"?
Great story. Read our a couple weeks ago and it's a bit hazy, but I know I liked it enough to draw inspiration from it.
Right on.
