For most changelings letting the Queen feed on you is never a pleasant experience, just part of the job description. One drone lives and breathes for it, even if he doesn't understand exactly why.

Thanks to Sharp Quill, Feather Note, R5h, RB_, and MrNumbers for pre-reading and helping brainstorm title suggestions. Much appreciated.

This story is a sequel to The Final Moments of Princess Celestia

A thousand years after the passing of Princess Celestia, Luna feels she is nearing the end of her own journey through mortality. Twilight has been hoping against hope to delay this day or banish it entirely, but not even an alicorn princess can stop the march of time.

This story is a sequel to The Assembled Letters of Twilight Sparkle, Protégé of Emperor Discord

After getting a taste of Friendship and questioning her allegiance to Discord, Twilight Sparkle chose instead to accept the will of Chaos and remain a student of the Emperor. Now, she has been charged to return to Ponyville and plant Seeds of Discord around the Tree of Harmony, but there are more things than broken friendships awaiting her arrival in Ponyville.

A note on the [Dark] tag: This fic is not grimdark.

It is however, an adventure story with high stakes, and themes that may touch on more serious matters, such as brainwashing or mental/emotional abuse. There is also some brief moments of violence and intense danger that, while not excessive, may be troubling to some. This tag was actually something recommended by one reader after Discord's psychological games with Twilight in the previous story, and I think it's time to add it. Link to reddit discussion where I made the decision, slight spoilers for Chapter 6.

Please don't let it turn you off from the story, just consider it fair warning that some parts may be slightly disturbing to more sensitive readers.

Twilight Sparkle has spent years as Discord's protege, studying the Magic of Chaos. But when rumors of a strange phenomenon dubbed "Friendship" show up in a small outlying town, the Emperor sends his star student to find out what's going on. Twilight goes with the best intentions and quickly discovers there is more than meets the eye going on in Ponyville...

Continued here!

When you've lived for thousands of years, most everypony considers you immortal. Princess Celestia once thought she was as well, but it seems that the last few millennia have finally caught up with her. As she brings together her young friends, they all must try and come to terms with the unthinkable.
