This story is a sequel to Our Illusion
A boring night takes a turn when Princess Rarity keeps screaming for help dealing with an eight-legged intruder who keeps conveniently disappearing when Twilight actually gets there.
Read this story and others on my website, Hollow Shades! You can also support me on Ko-Fi!
now i am not scared of spiders, they are tiny, i am literally thousands of times their size and weight.
but those fuckers have double the allowed number of legs connected to a single being in my vincinity <.<
and if they get close to my face i will turn into the tazmanian devil and not stop before it is gone x.x
Ninja spiders are one hell of a thing one sec they are there the next puff they are gone
And here I thought it was going turn out to be a changeling or something. Perhaps even a snaggletooth and mismatched eyes?
Btw, so good to see you posting here again! @Monochromatic
The spidereses ar our frienz.
Look, I'm just saying that Rarity might possibly have had an ulterior motive for having Twilight in her bedroom, looking at that bottom shelf over beside the bed. The very low shelf that needed very close inspection for spiders...
so glad to have read this early over on hollow shades! bodyguard au is so good aaa
Look up Camel Spider. Now imagine one loose in a barracks. Spiders are no joke.
Getting some serious Boris the Spider vibes

Fire was involved. Lots of fire. Insane amounts of it.
We did not succeed.

It is the only way to be sure!

Any and all spiders that have been located and then lost are code-named Cotton-Eye Joes.
Why?
Two reasons:
1. Where did they come from
2. WHERE THE BUCK DID THEY GO!?!?!
The main way to deal with a Cotton-Eye Joe is to simply vacate the area and commence fire-bombing/intense biological warfare/nukeing. If aliens can be somehow involved then glassing is also a viable option.

Changelings feed on love. This spider lives off your fear.
I found it highly suspicious (and unbearably cute) that she kept asking for kisses while supposedly being "terrified" of a spider...
Oh, Rarity.
You have a style.
hehe
it was a great read in Hollow Shades, and it's still a great read here

Is it not all emotions? Too many fanfics under my belt. I can't recall the canon changeling specs.
I absolutely love the characterization of Rarity as shenanigan-plenty.

I really thought that's where the fic was going.

I'm pretty sure canon Changelings just feed on love. Sirens, OTOH, seem to feed on negative emotions...
11474940 Hey, I'm always going to have a soft spot in my heart for Cold in Gardez Small-town Charm.
Star Spider Day is Best Day for spiders and Twilight, National Geographic Presents: Big Princess Week is the best week for carnivores and alicorns, and Enchanted Library is best Rarity and romance of all time. (which is unfair, because Rarity is so much best)

Canon is a bit vague, but I believe its just love. Fanon spreads it out to love being the best, but other being still filling if less tasty, and fear, hate, and anger being poisonous.
I will never get sick of this au. Fun chapter, always looking forward to more.
