If it's labelled 'On Hiatus', just know that I'm still working on it!

When Queen Chrysalis, completely undisguised, walks into Sugar Cube Corner and orders a dozen honey cupcakes, Twilight and her friends are understandably worried.

But when they go to look into it, they discover something that threatens to tear their relations apart.


This idea came to me in a dream, and I've decided to run with it.

Takes place three weeks after A Canterlot Wedding.

Chapters (9)
Comments ( 89 )

the description suggests that this is a comedy, but there is no such tag here.
In any case, the first chapter is intriguing and I want to unravel this mystery.

Nice premise so far! Perhaps Chryssy has begun a new hive, and is buying treats for her grubs. I like the bit about Twilight wanting to study her, that seems like something she’d do, given how little known Changelings are at this point.

Ohh very interesting alternate story here so apparently Queen Chrysalis just came to the sugarcube corner like it's a regular thing for her but knowing to the other ponies they were surprised and probably scared she's here so Pinkie Pie called Twilight in the others to see what's going on so the making a plan if she ever try to do something but Fluttershy pointed it out something on Chrysalis head it looks like she suffered a amnesia or something I'm not really sure but they still need to keep an eye on her and she's heading for the everfree forest I wonder if the other changelings are there as well is it thorax pharynx or Ocellus there is a lot of possibilities why she bought so much cupcakes can't wait to see how this will work

But if she’s got memory issues why is she not wondering why the pony’s are running away in fear I think the knock on her head gave her a personality reboot and the honey cupcakes are for other lings as honey works as a substitute for love but not in a long term way

Honestly twilight, equestria effectively in a state of war with the changelings so nabbing the leader perfectly acceptable

Be funny if she just has a comparatively minor head wound and just doesn’t really grasp the theoretical animosity that would be likely directed her way.

Well then that is pretty something so Twilight and the others follow Chrysalis to the everfree forest and once they made it to the castle of the Two Sisters it looks like Chrysalis made a shelter for her egg Twilight and the others are in the mix about this whole thing but there is one thing they didn't want to leave her in the forest so Twilight ask her if she can remember things and it looks like it's been confirmed she doesn't remember what happened 3 weeks ago so Twilight decided to help her and I wonder how this will work out guess we'll find out next time

Now the question is what about the other changelings who whete at the Canterlot wedding attack they would probably want to know what happened to Queen Chrysalis after all that is their Queen and I'm surely they'll probably be looking for her I mean thorax probably would not because you know he never agrees about what Chrysalis did but still I was wondering if that would happen anytime soon

And then Chrysalis gets her memory back, keeps it hidden, and kills them all!

:trollestia:

"Oh, come on, the invasion was, like, three weeks ago, why would anyone be still holding it against me?"

for some reason I have a strong premonition that in this universe the whole swarm that attacked the Canterlot, except for Chrysalis, died

10670870
OH NO NOT THORAX 😭😭 HE WAS PART OF IT

Well, this is awkward.

Yay eggs!

10670870 Would it be in bad taste to do a happy dance?

Interesting. Based on Chrysalis's knowladge of certain things its less like she has amnesia and more like her memories regressed to a past time.

10688237
That's called "Ribot's Law", and is usually how retrograde amnesia works; you can remember distant things better than more recent things.

See this article for more information.

Ah, I love this story and how it's going. However, just like a cupcake, it's over with before you know it. Great job!

So apparently the Mane 6 aside from Twilight having mixed feelings about this whole situation helping Chrysalis out even though she has amnesia there's still ponies who still remembers what she done and did but Twilight wants to help her even though she has also mixed feelings about this that's one thing she doesn't want to do leaving a mother of kids in the middle of the forest so they decided to teleport back to the library and hopefully things will chill out of course Pinkie Pie came Outta nowhere as usual surprise chrysalis and almost attacking her but Twilight had to stop her and yeah it's hard to explain about how Pinkie Pie does that anyway I wonder how this will go and how will Chrysalis live out her life in Ponyville with amnesia I guess we'll find out next time

Never give a party surprise to someone who has been in combat and suffering from PTSD.
this can lead to a similar situation:
in front of a darkened room, I feel the biological rhythms of 5 large living organisms, perhaps there are more of them hidden in the darkness. If they are hiding there then it is obvious that this is an ambush. Do you think you can catch me by surprise and attack unexpectedly? I will not give up without fight! Best defense is attack! Fight!

Is this a Twilight x Chrysalis story? :pinkiehappy:

10690760
I don't currently have that planned, no. But if it happens to develop that way, then I wouldn't mind.

10690917
Interesting .
It seems to me that I could go that way but as you said everything depends on your inspiration.

"I believe you're thinking of the phrase 'keep your friends close, and your enemies closer'," Rarity supplied helpfully.

I remember that phrase back in that show called Spider-Man the Animated Series and it is true

The baby dragon blinked, then reached into his... wherever he kept things, and pulled out those items. "I live with Twilight; of course I have extra parchment."

Of course Spike prepared when it comes to Twilight lol

So apparently Chrysalis is starting to get a hang of the so far despite how Pinkie Pie can be overwhelming but meanwhile back in the everfree forest rainbow and the others are heading back to Ponyville and they still complain about helping chrysalis which I understand they don't like her what she did back at the Canterlot wedding but she has amnesia so she doesn't really remember anything but the other still remembers what she done but anyway it looks like rainbow and Spike well a letter to Princess Celestia to give them a heads up about chrysalis meanwhile it looks like Twilight and Chrysalis are playing chess board which I was never good at that game but she's been asking a lot of question about her past and it looks like she has a family I mean in her generation at least and I wonder what happened to them so anyway they look like they're enjoying themselves meanwhile back in Canterlot Princess Celestia and Luna are having a little dessert apparently mostly Celestia but it looks like they got the mail from rainbow and Spike and now she's heading for Ponyville ho boy I wonder how this will go down I guess we'll find out next time

now we know that Chrysalis had 2 older sisters (who are probably dead) and one younger (who should become queen because most likely the hive will think that Chrysalis is also dead)

it seems to me that the title of this story should be changed since "honey cupcakes" is relevant only for the first chapter. 🤔

Rainbow couldn't help but snicker at that comment. "Well, I think it's about time we send Princess Celestia another letter."

Spike blinked, then allowed a devilish smirk to cross his face. "I agree completely.""

I understand that Rainbow is a bit right, but that she and Spike don't trust Twilight and act behind her back, isn't that a form of betrayal? The actions and decisions you make will determine your future. Their actions may affect many lives.

I think Luna, as a former villain, will listen to Twilight, and maybe, just maybe he's on her side.

Even if Chrysalis's memory does or does not return, I believe that she and Twilight could develop feelings for each other or at least a strong friendship. I also think that if things get worse to the point that Twilight could be hurt, Chrysalis will act like a villain and say that it was all a lie or something, to blame herself, and others forgive Twilight.

Great jorb, Pinks.

Nuuuuu, you can take her in chess, Chryssie!

'bavk' - back

But the honey cupcakes are part of the inciting incident, and half of the inspiration for this story. Besides, we simply haven't gotten to a part where it can become relevant again.

10695482

I understand that Rainbow is a bit right, but that she and Spike don't trust Twilight and act behind her back, isn't that a form of betrayal?

She doesn't see it as betrayal; she sees it as loyalty to her nation and the Princesses.

10697963
I don’t think that’s such a great excuse; most traitors in both history and fiction, I’m sure, considered their decisions and resulting actions entirely justified as well, and yet we don’t seem to generally consider that reason enough to just go “well, okay then” either.

That said, merely informing Celestia that Chrysalis is now in Ponyville absolutely can be considered simply due diligence; even if she’s currently honestly amnesiac (and that is in fact what it looks like to me), there’s no way of telling if or when she’ll recover her memories again or that she won’t just revert to her old ways once she does, and the Princesses will simply want to know in any event. Unless perhaps it turns out that they’ve deliberately painted the situation as worse than it actually looks at the moment, I can’t in good conscience blame Rainbow Dash and Spike for that -- Twilight would likely have gotten around to doing the same herself, anyway, just not quite this soon.

10699697
That's all part of the backbone of this story: the strain that this development puts on their relationships and elements. Twilight's putting friendship over her own biases, Dash is having to choose between her loyalties, Applejack can hardly face the truth of the situation, Fluttershy's struggling to keep everyone acting kind, Pinkie's acceptance towards the situation is putting the sceptics on edge, and Rarity... Is there, too.

Celestia used her magic to summon the letter she'd received. Twilight quickly scanned it, then groaned. "Argh, I'll need to have a talk with those two..."

Ohhh it looks like spike and Rainbow dash are in trouble

... I wonder if she knows the song of summoning.

Good story. Looking forward to more.

Well it looks like Twilight and Chrysalis are having a good time playing checkers but it looks like they have an unexpected guest it's Princess Celestia and Luna and of course they told them about Chrysalis being here Twilight is going to talk to spike and rainbow about this but Twilight told them about Chrysalis situation and her condition as well that she has amnesia or whatever you want to call it so Princess Celestia wants to see this for herself and it looks like it's been confirmed she doesn't remember anything but it looks like they have a pretty nice conversation even though Princess Luna is in the mix so I wonder how this will work out I guess we'll find out next time

eeeee honey cupcakes back in action :D

I understand that now this story is officially dead? it is sad.
Thanks at least for putting the mark right away so as not to give false hopes, unlike other authors.

Oh it's on Hiatus I guess you're taking a break on your story okay that's okay I just hope that the story does continue if not well that's basically all to you so take your time whatever you doing 😊

10734805
I didn't cancel it, nor any of my other stories; I'm just trying to build up a backlog of chapters so that, when I'm ready to publish, it can be more consistent. Call it a mid-season hiatus, if you will.

10734805
You know, calling a story dead when author hasn't been updating it for a month or two is way too soon. I've seen cases when author returned back after a year or even a few.

There's only one case when story is completely dead. That's when story's author has passed away. Until then there's always hope. Anyway, I'd consider a story probably dead after a year without any updates of any kind. At this point sudden revival is more of a pleasant surprise rather than the norm.

Everyone write at their own pace. A thousand words in a month just feels too little. Especially when the story is genuinely interesting.

Well the secret was out now.

Very nice to see the story again but unfortunately things did not go very well so apparently Rainbow dash and Spike finally made it to the library thinking that they done a good job getting Chrysalis out for what they found is they are having a conversation with both of them did not help the situation they basically just yell and insult her which that makes her upset and just leave and of course Princess Celestia and Luna are not happy what they did so twilight try to reason with Queen Chrysalis but then it looks like the secret is out Twilight told her about the past event of the Canterlot Wedding and Queen Chrysalis is even more confused than ever boy I wonder how this will work out guess we'll find out next time

hurray a little sequel came out.

I thought Chrysalis would stay in the dark longer. Somehow the truth was quickly brought down on her.

at the time of this writing, the story was labeled "on hiatus." For me, this is usually a signal that the story is unlikely to continue. At least in my memory, this is the only time when the story with this mark really came to life.

10833768
Ah, makes sense. I think I've seen another one or two which got back from this point, though. For me "on hiatus" means that author at least cared to update status at some point. So, while unlikely he or she actually may return. Especially when they have other active stories. It's much worse to see an amazing story without this label or any updates for five years and nothing but radio silence from the author.

10833810
I agree, this is the worst. Although no, it is worse when the author of a good story is regularly online but stubbornly ignores his own story and readers who are waiting for the continuation. (I saw two of them on the site.)

That's completely different; she's Princess Celestia's sister

Whatever fits our narratives eh? little hypocritical dashie :)

Nice story m8 i enjoy it very much. Love the interactions.
