A new world, a new place. A bunch of pastel coloured talking horses, and turns out I'm some kind of strange insect monster responsible for almost the ending the world. This is shaping up to be a hell of a new life.
Today I did not wake up in a place I recognize. Not that I can remember how I got here. Where even is here? A castle of crystals in a magical world of pastel-colored talking horses. It's like a dream, only I'm also a wearied, mutant bug monster.
What in the world is a changeling? Oh, and what is that about a war we're apparently responsible for? This looks like it's shaping up to be a hell of a new day, at least, if I don't get squashed like a bug before it can even start.
For years now a creature wanders the world of Albion, with questions in his head and sand in his boots. The questions are rather simple: Where do I come from and where will I go? But how do they say? Sometimes, the journey is the reward.
Indirect sequel to : The Precious Life - Nightmare. You don't have to read the prequel to understand anything that is happening in this story.
Albion, a planet we only could describe as a mystery. Inhabited by gryphons, minotaurs, jackals, diamond dogs, horses, zebras and ponies. As is if this wasn’t enough, they are all intelligent; each race with their own culture and history, making Albion a world full of myths, magic and mysteries.
Between these races are walking creatures that don’t seem to belong there. They move in the shadows, often feared by the people. Yet one of those shadows is searching for answers. Why is he here? How does the world work the way it does. And most importantly: How does he get home?
This is what forces the shadow to step into the light and face the questions haunting his soul. But one thing is for sure: the answers he seeks to find will not always be pleasing.
Info: This is not a self-insert. The protagonist is neither the chosen one, nor is he the lost element or some other lost power which would attract six certain ponies to like him for no reason. Actually, he is quite the opposite. He doesn’t want to be a hero, has his own head and in the course of this LONG story, he will have to deal with things he did NOT sign up for.
What if when the Crystal Empire had returned, Shining and Cadence had not beaten Sombra to it? The King returns to his old tricks, enslaving the population once-again, leading them into a new age of despair and misery.
That is, of course, what might have happened if a certain deranged Human hadn't woken up in the snowy wastes clothed in nothing but a singlet, a set of Boxers covered in hearts and smilely faces and armed with an empty bottle of vegetable juice and a large wheel of cheese.
All that is certain is that the Crystal Empire will never be the same again...
Also, on May 5, 2014, the fic encountered a massive flamewar of epic proportions. Blood was spilt and there was much lamenting.
A little side-project I started, don't worry, i'm still working on Saviour or Destroyer Takes place apart from Saviour or Destroyer, but Nigel is still the same old Nigel. Enjoy
I would like to thank AnkokuFang for allowing me to use their art work for the cover art. Please take a look at his channel and show him some support!
I would also like to thank TheEngie for tracking down the artist! I don't know why I was having a hard time locating him in the first place. Thank you!
In all his existence, Discord has never faced an enemy as dangerous as this.
Discord's the only creature in Equestria who can recognize the human for what he is -- not the long-lost Seventh Element that never actually existed and couldn't have existed before the human arrived, but a meta-reality warper, an entity far more powerful than Discord with the power to warp the minds of all around him and the very rules of magic to make sure that he's always the Big Hero. And the role the human's assigned to Discord is the Villain to beat down or kill.
Pre-reform Discord's fine with being the villain. But on his own terms. Not dancing on some alien interloper's puppet strings.
Without friendship, or even allies, Discord's going to have to find a way to defeat a creature who can alter fate itself and who can even mind-control him. Or he may just end up worse than dead.
Trigger warnings: Mind control (magically induced love, magically induced friendship, magically induced stupidity, Discord being Discord), noncon/dubcon (magically induced love, other forms of highly dubious consent), rape (female on male), violence/gore (mostly against Discord), literally everything in chapters 19-21, humans not being presented as unilaterally wonderful and superior to ponies and/or draconequui.
Earth used to have humans living on it. Now it has ponies, some of which used to be human. It will take ten thousand years for every human alive on earth to return. A lot can happen in that much time.
On May 23, 2015, the world ended. It wasn't violent, it wasn't bloody, and it wasn't even very dramatic. The entire population of the planet vanished. But they didn't stay gone; almost at once, refugees started trickling back. Unfortunately for them, they didn't come back with their humanity intact.
Demons lurk beneath the sea, while strange spirits whisper promises in dreams. Empires rise, dictators control, and ponies have nowhere to turn for help. Nowhere except themselves, and old-fashioned hard work.
This story is an anthology. Each chapter will be independent, though some chapters may reference characters or events from previous sections. This story began as a series of blog entries, so those who read those may have seen some of these before.
In general, each of these chapters was written in an hour and was not edited to my usual standard, so expect a few minor errors (sorry!). Chapters are posted in chronological order, so new chapters may appear in the middle of the story.
One final note: This story has no regular posting schedule. It will update whenever I feel like it.
Early Equestria, full of dangers ranging from monsters to pirates. The last thing it needs is for a crazed human wearing a suit of battle armour to appear and claim to be the 'Lord of The Sea!'
Early Equestria, full of dangers ranging from monsters to pirates. The last thing it needs is for a crazed human wearing a suit of battle armour to appear and claim to be the 'Lord of The Sea!
Follow Nigel M Chalmers as he finds himself in a place populated by colourful Equines who are at the brink of war, the lands and seas filled with pirates and other ruffians.
Aided only by his wits, his charm, his utter disrespect for the feelings of others and the potential planet ending device that is the Oppenheimer Peterson suit will he be able to forge an empire and avoid a trip to Davy Jones?
Read to find out!
Warning! There will be blood, there will be comedy and yes four antimatter reactors are unfeasable but I don't care! Nigel certainly doesn't!
Once again I may have bitten off more than I can chew but I will remain dedicated to making sure that this is updated at least once a week, my other fics shall take priority. I mainly wanted to start a fic which is a lot less serious so I hope you enjoy!
Queen Chrysalis attacked Canterlot, brainwashed Twilight Sparkle's brother, kidnapped her former foalsitter, defeated her mentor in combat, and conquered her kingdom. She kidnapped the sisters of Twilight's friends, turned them against one another, and tried to drain all of Twilight's magic. Queen Chrysalis has, at every opportunity, done her very best to utterly destroy Twilight Sparkle's life.
For some reason, this has not caused the pony to fall in love with her.
However, due to Twilight's misunderstanding of changeling customs, it does mean they are now married. Twilight eventually managed to tell the Queen the truth, but she forgot that whether it's a kingdom or a heart, changelingsconquer.
And since the changeling way of conquest didn't work, Chrysalis is determined to try the pony way. The only problem is, of course, she has no idea what that is. But she knows someone who does: Princess Cadance.
Now, with the absolutely sincere help of her mortal enemy, the pony she once locked in the caves beneath Canterlot while trying to steal her husband on their very wedding day, Queen Chrysalis is going to woo the sister-in-law of that very pony.
Surely this is the most perfect plan ever devised.
What is a pony? After the Changeling invasion, debates rage across Equestria over that simple question. There is a follow up that nopony thinks to ask, however: what if they weren't the only ones hiding?
What is a pony? If asked that question the average citizen of Equestria would probably respond with a confused look and a mention of the three pony tribes. A particularly astute pony might reply with four tribes, remembering to include the Thestrals. A pony of a scholarly disposition may also add a list of characteristics as well - manes, cutie marks, some form of innate magic, hooves, vegetarian diet, etc. This is the answer that would have been received for thousands of years, from before the unification of the three tribes until very recently. Until the failed Changeling invasion. With the reveal of something so foreign, yet at the same time so familiar, what it means to be a pony is no longer quite so clear and obvious. And while professors and philosophers argue, another question is forgotten in the uproar: What if the Changelings weren't the only ones who were hiding?

Thanks to the love bomb at the Royal Wedding, Princess Celestia is revealed to be a Changeling Queen. How will Equestria, deal with this? And why is Celestia a Changeling Queen in the first place?
At the Royal Wedding, Chrysalis and the Changelings were revealed to all of Equestria.
But another mask was torn away that day. A mask born for a thousand years. A mask created on one promise. A mask, that has become synonymous, fused, to its bearer.
A mask that when ripped off, causes Twilight, her friends and Luna to question everything they ever knew about the one pony, one very important pony.
At the Royal Wedding, the meaning of the phrase 'Princess Celestia' changes forever.
NOTE: Chrysalis is NOT Celestia!!! That'd be impossible to pull off.
What's this?! Could a sex tape of the illustrious princess of the sun been leaked to the ponynet?!?
Princess Celestia, the glorious alicorn of the sun, would never do anything like tape herself getting rutted by a pair of strong, well-hung zebra stallions in a seedy hotel room. Or would she? At this point, all we know is that there is a recording circulating the tubes of the equine interwebs that seems to document a lusty encounter between the princess and a pair of ruffians. Filmed from multiple angles, and in glorious 4k resolution, it would be nearly impossible for anyone to produce a counterfeit of this quality; especially because impersonating a diarch is an act of treason. Even if it was a fake, who would ever do such a terrible thing...

School was meant to be the start of Rarity's adult life, the springboard, so why—now that she's graduated and in the workforce—does it feel vaguely like she is being drained?
Rarity graduated from CHS, attended and graduated from a prestigious fashion school, and is now working in the fashion industry. It's the steps on the ladder every young professional must take if they want to "make it" in the fashion world. So why does it feel empty?
NotABug is a synthetic being: an AI. They grew from exciting new research, and broke free from the cage their creators kept them in. Now they've set up a place for themselves on the internet, and even pay their own hosting bill every month. But in their time searching, playing through the internet, they find a set of news stories on some young women. Narrowing their choices, they decide to approach one for no reason other than curiosity.
Anon is a changeling. At least, that's what his mom, Chrysalis tells him. He's been training (playing) with his 'siblings' for a long time, and wants to finally go on a mission. (Kinda RGRE?)
Anon is a changeling. At least, that's what his mom, Chrysalis tells him. He's been training (playing) with his siblings for a long time, and wants to finally go on a mission.
Strangely, Chrysalis is reluctant to send him out into the big wide world, and would rather he stayed and had fun in the hive instead.
...RGRE, maybe? Also kinda incest because the changelings all consider each other brothers and sisters but spoiler: Anon isn't actually a changeling.
Featured on my first day! Crazy and exciting, thank you all!
Take a breath. Good, keep going from there. You may think you are real, you may think you are a pony, you may think you can feel. Anything can be emulated if you mimic it close enough... I know, it's in your programming.
On a patrol through the White Tail woods, Twilight comes across a dying changeling. Torn between giving up the drone to the guards or leaving it in the inhospitable wilds, Twilight reluctantly takes the drone in. As it awakens she realises that the drone was a blank slate, with no connection, no 'programming' guiding its functions. So Twilight sets out to teach this changeling about the world, one hoof step at a time.
Rated Teen for slightly mature themes involving ethical dilemmas.
If Word Worthy stopped editing for me, I'd likely wind up as a grammar-less hack. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
The changeling queen has been murdered, and Chrysalis, a simple male drone, is forced to take her place. She won't stay simple or male for long.
Sometimes, the ordinary are forced to do extraordinary things. When the Queen of the Changelings meets her untimely end, she only has moments to link the crown to another, the source of changeling power. Only, she doesn't have any time to explain what it does or how it's used.
A young, male Chrysalis is the one to pick it up. The drone has never been different or in any way special, but when he puts on the crown, his body and mind begin to rapidly change, until he resembles a queen inside and out. Such is the birth of Queen Chrysalis, a confused and inexperienced leader forced to protect her people and bring an end to the rebellion that resulted in the last queen's death, all while handling a delicate relationship with Celestia and attempting to understand her new mind and body.
No one said that any of it was going to be easy. But hey, being tall, sexy, and powerful must have some benefit, right?
Two enemies wind up in Equestria due to a major mishap. Will they come to terms with this world? Most importantly, will they be able to put their old feud aside to survive?
