It's funny because "a modest proposal" is a satirical essay about eating people and Changelings eat people.

Huh... I had no idea about that. Wonder if Jym was aware of it.

Glad someone caught that! :twilightsheepish:

If this doesn’t involve Minuette telling Fleur that the yaks need to cannibalize their young to solve their overpopulation and moral decay, im going to report you to HUAC.

Okay, now I want to read that essay. Twilight having to very careful very calmly explaining to Starlight that sapient creatures shouldn't eat other sapient creatures.

Reminds me of a certain another old story…
This is a good one. Didn't see that coming, but old ideas done in different and special ways are often nice treats.

Poor Chrysalis, doomed never to find true love because she would end up eating her girlfriends and boyfriends.

Thank you! The best stories are sometimes the ones you're most familiar with and are exciting to see how they're told in different ways.

I always wonder what it's like for Chrysalis if she's unable to reform like the rest of her hive, like the mental and physical struggles.

Me in the middle of this story: c’mon, what’s the worst thing that can happen.
Me at the end: Oh. That.

I absolutely loved the ending. It took me a bit, I thought minuet had mint powers, but no she was with a changeling the whole time, very, very clever.

I had to reread it again just to catch all the little hints and nuances. If anything I enjoyed the second read more than the first!

I also love the idea that you can’t love someone you have only known for such a short period of time. There is more to them. Love isn’t the passionate obsession but the steady constant.

It was sweet that she saved her, and you must wonder who she would target next.


You have an excellent turn of phrase. I really liked it, and hope you will write more, not this story, necessarily, just in general.

This was such a sweet story and I really enjoyed the chemistry between Minuette and Fleur

This was an enjoyable story, but poor Chrysalis can never seem to catch a break, it's always so bittersweet when a character has to be the evil so that your love can be happier and live peacefully.

Hello! Have a review. I apologise for the lateness: partly down to Covid, partly down to disorganisation. A seriously rare pairing here, but I liked the characterisation and the chemistry between the two. A slightly underwhelming ending, but I still liked this enough for an upvote.

Thank you so much for your kind words! This was my first writing contest ever so the time crunch really got to me and the story suffered at some points because of that.

You're very welcome! And yeah, I hear you on the contest writing crunch thing! Been, done, T-shirt, etc. :pinkiehappy:
