Good to see this story still going

Neat, a new chapter

Eh it lives! Also yes tiny adorable NMM accept your fate of all the cuddles an head-pats!

ayy, good to this updated

I’m morbidly curious if they all just took it as a given that he could breed with any of them.

Pony maid, everypone else, and Hive Queen: Leering and lickin' their chops while looking at King John.
King John: Hehehe! I'm in danger!

Good to see you going back to this project, and I must admit that having NM as a filly ball of fluff seems like NM's worst nightmare: to grow in terms of character development.

I wonder if NM's shared guardianship with Luna will run in the lines of those Anon raising Nightmare Filly and the shenanigans involved. 🤔

The only thing missing in that final scene is "I will cuddle, and pet her, and bath her, and dress her and named her George!"

Also, something tells me the changeling queen isn't done yet. There might be some marriage bells in John Future. Either that or appoint the thestral.

Yeah I was curious about that, why no pony ever mention that tecnically speaking he already produce an heir. That orphan kid, is kind of of legally his son now, ergo his next in line, his HEIR

Filly Nightmare Moon? FILLY NIGHTMARE MOON?! ALL my yes, ALL OF IT! I will pet her and cuddle her and love her and call her cute and adorable!

Yes, deep down the real fear is... What if he could actually sire progeny? Would he have gone full native?
And.... Would it matter if he did?

Can a mare stretch that way? Were they really that flexible? Cinnamon had never questioned the limits of her body, mostly out of fear of hurting herself but… could she pull even half of that madness? Probably. But was she going to give it a try? And that’s where her mind found silence from both her moral and logical senses.

Of course.

Wait, is that lewd too? D-Definitely lewd!

Very.

I could only sigh as I waited calmly in the room that had been prepared to handle Apocrita, the queen being ‘fashionably late’ from the looks of it. My first impression on Changeling Queens was Chrysalis. And it wasn’t a good impression.

No, I can't imagine it was. She's, kinda nuts.

I wanted the Changelings to become a part of the Empire I was rebuilding, all with the purpose of adding extra pop in the civilian and military side of things. Their unique ability just made them stand out more as exceptional infiltrators, something that would definitely allow for the formation of an intelligence service.

Hopefully, one that won't be needed.

“The maid. The one that was seen rushing out of your room in quite the curious disposition. Any particular reason as to why?”

Ah. Her.

The explanation being that you are not one to use power as a way to achieve your own personal gains. And that you don’t aim to abuse it.”

Considering that he lives in a world where 2 beings who are at bare minimum, capable of conjuring thunderstorms as a side effect of being angry, pragmatism is generally a wise decision.

“Wouldn’t that put your subjects in peril? What if I decided to attack and-”

I doubt you will. For one, if you did plan on doing that, you wouldn't say it, and B, Chrysalis tried that. She failed.

“And I would be seen as the best queen...” Apocrita added with a tiny giddy smile,

“A marriage contract.”

Everyone wants to screw the human.

And I decided to never be alone around Apocrita ever. No matter the circumstance, may those be of the life-or-death situation, I wasn’t allowing that mare around me with the many ‘dangerous’ plans she might have just for me. I could tell that she was plotting something cunning and ‘damaging’ for someone like me, and I didn’t plan to take part in any of that.

Good man.

“No~! Let me cuddle with you. Let me treat you as the pretty dark lady you are~,” I rebuked, my parental instinct mustered as I took her for a quick spin and cheek-nuzzle.

Goddamn adorable.

“Look, she is literally cowing at your power.

I think you mean cowering.

And while the two mature individuals of the room spoke, the little dark-side of the moon groaned at the fact she had just been sold to a slavery… filled with head-pats and cuddling.

Oh no. Anyway...

Next chapter in two days. I will add a real apology there since I believe I have been a bit dumb and more with this delayed release. I have an explanation, and it’s… tied to Uni stuff. Like big stuff. Like I bailed from it and stuff like that. But I will add more next time.

Mood, honestly. It's all good. Shit happens.

Love it. Mini Nm is coot.

Sounds like he has joint custody with Luna over NM

W-what? What did that have to do with the story?

Everything.

Jokes aside, mini-NM should have a lot of experience as a military general and using powers upon the nightly dreams. Giving your enemies lack of sleep is a really great way to destroy morale quickly.

I had to. (Sorry, not sorry.)

Fear the CUTENESS of NIGHTMARE WOON!!!

Be interesting to see what her future role in this story will actually be. Being a bit of a blank slate in canon, NMM can be many things to many writers.
