This story is a sequel to Lovesickness


Following the lovesickness debacle, your relationship with Chrysalis has been strained. Your deal still stands, but... things are different now. And with some troubling rumors going around about your favorite bug, her motivation to leave the house has only gone down.

However, that doesn't mean you've given up on her. You still believe in her ability to do the right thing, and it is that belief that caused you to get into an altercation with some of your closest friends. But when that altercation escalates as a result of Chrysalis's actions, you find yourself taking on a serious injury that could very well be fatal.

It comes as a shock to everyone when Chrysalis scoops you up and makes a break for it. Although her motivations are unknown, it seems that she is dead set on keeping you away from the ponies that could help you.

But with no friends to assist her, where can Chrysalis even run to, and what could she possibly be planning?

Fuck yes a other great story!

Just logged in and see this in new stories, great timing.

So, this is the conclusion of the planned trilogy? It may be a little bit... TOO open ended in my opinion. I don't know if describing events in the description that aren't present in the actual story is... How I'd go about it either. Still, I enjoyed the prose.

11623650
It's only the first chapter, haha! The rest of the chapters will be out in the coming days.

11623654
Oh, I'm an idiot :facehoof:
I was used to your stories just having one chapter and didn't even check to see if it was finished.
Uh, heh, looking forward to the coming chapters? :twilightblush::facehoof:

11623658
I hope it lives up to your expectations!

oh no, things are gonna happen

11623662
I have a sneaking suspicion it just might.:ajsmug:

Okay, so i am on board the train....lets see where this goes :pinkiehappy:

also twilight needs to get thwacked with a rolled up newspaper for putting an extra hole in anons chest. Didn't her parents teach her proper horn/magic safety?

I can’t tell you how giddy I am seeing this story marked as incomplete: it’s been so long since I’ve read a good fic and had to wait for an update! I absolutely love what you’re doing with this series, keep it up!:twilightsmile:

Well, it seems Twilight screwed up royally judging from the beginning. It seems Chrysalis is weighing the pros and cons of being a dark or light Changeling. Now whether Twilight's screw up will drive her over the dark edge or make her see the light remains to be seen.

This was cuter than any story has the right to be. I can't wait for more.

You begin to tremble as you slowly look down at yourself. Steam gently pours out of the golf-ball-sized hole that goes straight through your chest …. A bit of familiar-looking steam still emanates from Twilight's horn.

Nonono don’t think about it! Using Looney Toons logic if you don’t think about it you’ll have at least a few more seconds until it actually kills you.

Hohoho, this is going to be good! Thanks for the new story!

uis

Who came up with story name? Pinkie Pie?

Hey, congrats on getting the whole Bed Bug series featured at the same time! I know you’re freaking good, and practically every story you publish is featured, but this has got to be a record for you and this website! :pinkiehappy:

Man, I can’t wait to see what else you come up with! :rainbowkiss:

That is a neat trick, I don't think I've seen any other author manage it in my time here. I mean, authors with more than one featured story at a time, yes. But not three, and not a series like this either.

11624030
I think it helps that the stories have been released close enough together that the initial popularity wave is still going for each one on top of more people reading prequels when new stories are released. Also, you know, the stories are good. :moustache:

What a cute beginning! I’m sure this will be a heart warming story where no one gets shot in the chest!

11624030
I've seen it or something close to it, and it led to enough backlash that the author became disillusioned with the whole thing. It's probably good that this one is going to be longer-form, so it doesn't start to feel like something that ought to be a single anthology is clogged up the featured box.

Well. This looks definitely promising. 🍿

Damn, starting with a cliff hanger, you'll know I'll b watching an waiting. Got a soft spot for Chrysalis and can't wait till moar comes out✌️

It’s very conflicting how to feel. I appreciate anything Chrysalis, she’s a favorite of mine. And I love her in this story series in particular, but man you gotta stop being such a stink-head!:facehoof::twilightsmile:

Ooh, is the event that we got a glimpse at the start coming already? Wonder what will happen...

Tsunderbug, loving this

How many eggs will chrysalis need to burn before she learns to cook? lol

11625097
Chrysalis can't fret over every egg.

"But I can't protect you forever if you keep trying to be... well, to put it bluntly, evil."

This chapter's example of Chrysalis being "evil":

excited for the next part

11625151
Making the mother of all omelettes here are we?

Something tells me that Ocellus is the reason Twilight, Applejack, and Rainbow are there.

Ngl, child soldiers were fine by me, but God forbid a single changeling has to walk past her. That last one took it too far.

Execution for both Anon and Chrissy, I say!

Steam gently pours out of the golf-ball-sized hole that goes straight through your chest.

Just as the founding fathers intended...

11625422
Not when you’re “cooking for Anon”, right?

I suppose a firing squad is as good a method as any other, although I'd advise Twilight work on her aim.

Twilight cause this by being determined for her to a villain. Queen might be a rude prideful pain in the neck but she isn't doing anything bad. They were so busy judging her for not wanting their path they never saw that she did have good in her.

11625422
How is he supposed to cut it if this isn't even his sword?

Twilight desperately wanting the clearly reformed and not-evil person to still be evil, just like she did with Trixie. She's learned nothing while teaching the very lessons she doesn't want to embody. Though I suppose Chrysalis isn't entirely faultless, given she just decided, "Yeah I'mma throw hooves with the Princess right as I'm making progress."

It’s hard not to be upset at everyone except AJ and Anon. Twilight assuming and escalating things beyond normal reasoning, Chrysalis being too prideful not to mess with them, and Rainbow just wanting a fight to begin with. And now Anon had to suffer the consequences. I really hope Chryssi is able to save him, and come to a conclusion of her own! :pinkiegasp:

Good job, Twilight. Your stupidity has driven Chrysalis to possibly go over the edge because of rather than deescalate the situation, you instantly went for the kill.

And SHE'S supposed to be the ruler of Equestria? I get the feeling she really loves the "Shoot first, ask questions later" of the wild west.

depending on where the hole is it might not be so bad

Oh man nooooo! Not a cliffhanger!!!!!

Cliffhanger!:rainbowderp:
Oh myyy

Twilight, Dash, you fucking idiots.

So is Twilight going to be punished for this? Because that is pretty much attempted murder, or should he not survive, involuntary manslaughter. Or will she just get a slap on the wrist, like 95% of stories?

11626455
But guys, it's okay!, she said she's sorry!

I feel like this is one of those situations where everyone is at fault. Like, everyone involved had to be acting stupid for things to go that badly that quickly. Still though, I have hope that our bug queen will show them all that she is indeed reformed and good now, and that she'll save our human protagonist in the process. Fingers crossed, at least.
