    https://www.fimfiction.net/story/441555/queen-of-assassins

    The hive is dying. The queen is unfit to rule. The rebellion is nigh.

    To a changeling, these are almost impossible concepts to grasp. Faith in the hive is paramount. Cooperation, a must. And ordinarily, Commander Chrysalis would agree. She is as devoted a changeling as a changeling can be.

    However, the world is turning upside-down. The enemy is within. And Chrysalis will not rest until it has been purged utterly.

    The enemy is strange. The enemy is terrifying.

    The enemy is doubt.

    https://www.fimfiction.net/story/66500/maternal-instinct

    Queen Chrysalis has only one grub that has survived into fillyhood; her daughter, the physically lame and mentally impaired Crown Princess Pupa. Chrysalis has never been what many would call the 'maternal type', even towards Pupa, whose adoration of her mother has no bounds. Preferring to swamp herself in the dire affairs of state, Chrysalis lets her crippled daughter be raised by her affectionate nanny.

    But one day, as the Changeling Kingdom's problems reach boiling point, the Queen's already short temper erupts and she must deal with the heartbreaking consequences...

     

    My Queen by Bootsy Slickmane [2k words]

    https://www.fimfiction.net/story/265690/my-queen

    She comes to me at night, sometimes, just when I think I may have fallen asleep. I've never known why or how, but in time, I stopped questioning her for the things we share. Call it an unspoken understanding that we have. A symbiosis. A silent accord, there in the dark, and I didn't press for any more. On one such lonely night, however, I get a little bit bolder.

     

    Adored by Magic Man [10k words]

    https://www.fimfiction.net/story/35530/adored

    Forbidden by Fire Gazer the Alchemist [32k words]

    https://www.fimfiction.net/story/183006/forbidden

    Love is tricky when you’re a changeling. You need it to survive, but the more you feed off of it, the more you want to actually feel it. Too bad that's impossible.

    Chrysalis never thought she would want to love, but a thousand years ago that all changed.

    All You Ponies by Mitch H [6k words]

    https://www.fimfiction.net/story/407637/all-you-ponies

    Chrysalis had come a long way from absolutely nothing - a humbled bug-horse left to fend for herself in the howling wilderness. But she's not the pony changeling she used to be, and she's set her hoof upon the path of conquest, for herself, for her crown, and for her children minions.

    All she had to do was seize the commanding heights of the pony principalities, and feed her brood upon that endless supply of pony happiness which was her birthright, by all that was villainous!

    If only her mother didn't keep tripping her up.
