What if villains are evil just because their subjects are? What if Chrysalis isn't actually evil, and that invasion wasn't her idea? What if she just wants some company, just like another pony?
This story contains *many* shotouts to my friend, and I wonder if they'll be able to find them all, should they read the story.
Also, if you don't understand why I mentioned that element, the "blots of color" in the park, don't worry. Everything will make sense later on. It's (kind of) a Checkov's Gun, and it's used to link this fanfic with another, which I'm still writing, and one day, I will eventually publish.
I had this concept in my mind for a while, and I finally managed to write it out. I am ready to receive hate, insults, and death threats for it, mostly because of all those sappy scenes.
Finally, have a piece of trivia: the working title was "Luna and Chrysalis do a scene totally stolen from Gangnam Style - AKA - Luca's Overly Saccharinated Imagination".
That happens before Wedding or after?
2580300 Just before. Why, isn't it clear from the story? :S
Ooh~ A downvote! :3
Who voted so? I won't be mad at him/her, I just want to know what he/she didn't like about the story. :3
Nice little story. I like the idea that the hive mind trumped the queen in the end... thou knowing the invasion still happened leaves this feeling a bit unfinished. Still nice thou, upvoted.
Magnificent oneshot!
I hadn't read a fic like yours before tonight.
And I was after a good Luna story aswell :-)
Does leave questions though.
But the best stories are those which encourage the reader to think, aren't they?
Up'd and Fav'd.
2581353 “[...] Thus, we won’t invade or attack each other, agreed?”
Chrysalis cheerfully smiled, as the other party proposed what she desired the most.
“Agreed!” [...]
Does this seem like the invasion is still going to happen?
Unless, it's not explicit enough in the ending. I'm re-reading it, and fixing some errors here an there. A new revision will be uploaded soon.
2586058 D'aww, thank you! :3
You hadn't found such a ridiculous, lousy, overly sweet concept ever before? :P
I'm glad I could satisfy your desire for a story about Luna. :3
What kind of questions are you talking about? Just purely philosophical doubts, thinking about the decisions, ideas and situations of the two characters, or doubts about the actual structure of the story?
I'm similar to Terence, the Latin playwright: his characters, no matter how evil-looking, deep down were always good in their hearts, and he loved to transmit moral and philosophical ideas to the Roman society through his plays. Chrysalis, generally seen as the epitome of evil and deception, is portrayed as the exact opposite; and Luna, burning with the desire to comfort that poor soul who was so similar to her, gave (AKA: smeared all over the readers' face) a speech about moral and ethics.
Thanks for the encouragement. Encouraging an “artist”—I don't consider myself one, as my works are meh at best—is free, and could lead to unexpected, likeable results in the future.
This honestly leaves me wanting more, will you continue with this or make a sequel? PPPLLLEEEAAASSSEEE
This was a really fun read. I always thought that these two could be kindred spirits and this story just solidified that thought. I like how regal this all feels in terms of their dialogue. Also, Luna's feelings about friendship and the complex relationship she has with her sister was a great setup for her relationship with Chrysalis. Awesome fic! I was thoroughly entertained!
