It was meant to be a friendly visit with the two Royal Changelings, Thorax and Pharynx. But during an attempt at the cutie mark swap spell, Celestia and Luna suddenly find themselves swapping places with the two. Now Thorax and Pharynx are the alicorns, and they're the changelings. To make things even more confusing, somehow no one else knows anything happened. It's up to the royal brothers and royal sisters to fix the problem themselves.
Was it… this one?

Why yes
You can see I made my own designs for them though
10953719
Neat!
10953724
Yep!
10953734
Hooray!
“She’s been bothering you too?” Pharynx grumbled, and Thorax chuckled nervously.
“Don’t mind him, he’s still mad that Starlight and Trixie said some… things about him when they visited the Hive. What happened with Starlight?”
Oh come on pharynx I'm sure they didn't mean to happen like that
Yeah a lot of us never thought that Starlight is that strong with magic
10954275
Don't think he'd listen to reason on that
10954277
But boy was she
10954462
Of course not he's like my brother stubborn 😑
10954535
Yep
Holy mackerel so basically like an alternate universe type of thing dang that is another strong magic man
10954696
Yeah, well, it was cast by two alicorns
Well this was a pretty interesting story here and it's one of those freaky Friday situation here so Princess Celestia and Luna invited thorax and pharynx for a get together tea but then they explain about how Starlight switch there cutie marks and they want to do the magic as well but unfortunately it backfired but instead of switching their cutie marks they switch species with both changelings and not just their appearance but it also ultranet everybody's mind but somehow keeping the original script so both royalty siblings have to find a way to switch back and without any idea they have to go to Starlight but it looks like she found a way somehow so she use her power and switch back everybody to normal good job Starlight this was pretty good one here keep up the good work

Thanks
Gender fluid Pharynx!!!
Awesomeness!!!
10966259
So glad you like it!
10966263
Don't know why your surprised.
I like a lot of your stories
10966266
Well, yeah, but I didn't think many people would be open to the idea
One of my other stories, Dear Family, also mentions a Genderfluid Phar, and, well...
10966271
That's more a result of all the bigotry in the Brony community.
The fandom is mostly made of straight men, who get understandably offended at all the assumptions that you have to be gay to like girls entertainment.
However, instead of getting mad at the bigots making such crude jokes, they try to force the LGBT+ Community out of their fandom. That way they can insist no brony is gay, bi, trans, gender fluid, or anything else.
They are fine with lesbians, because straight men like to fetishize them, which is just a different form of bigotry.
Such reactions come from an understandable insecurity, but that is expressed in a not so good way.
10966276
Yeah, that makes a depressing amount of sense. Well, I'm glad you liked the story, anyway
10966284
Oh I love it.
Faved it in everything.
The idea of this AU particularly sounds like a fun fic in it's own right
10966284
Fear my semester of psychology training
10966289
Heh
10966288
Yeah. I was this close to role-reversing everyone. The changelings into ponies and vice-versa. But I decided to keep it with just the royals or it would look too much like they walked into an AU
10966293
I'm glad you went with this storyline.
I almost didn't want them to change back
10966300
Heh, that would have been interesting. Alas, I doubt they would have liked staying in each other's roles forever. At least, Pharynx and Luna would have opinions on the matter.
10966302
That's what make it interesting!!!
10966304
Heh, true. Pharynx's pony form is pretty adorable...
10966305
I did love Pharynx in this best.
10966307
Yay! I did my best with all of them but I feel very proud of how I captured his snarky demeanor
I'm loving the changes you made.
Very nice story...
But I stayed up too late reading it
THUD
Night night
10981390
Oh no! You should sleep!
Just reread this, and I think I can spot some of the changes.
Like more build up before the spell is cast

Thanks!
Awesome story.

Thanks!
This is an incredibly entertaining idea! I'd love to see more of it. Pharynx felt out of character at times though, lengthy explanations don't feel like their style

Fair enough, glad you enjoyed!
