A pony of mystery in the darkness. Or I forgot to take the lens cap off. (They/them is fine.)
When Equestria is infiltrated by changelings, the only solution is to starve them out. No matter how long it takes.

I regret that I have but one like to give this story. Because it was a riot.
Yeah, I can see they would use that to send messages.
Cuddle deficiency is a horrible illness!
At least he's self-aware.
Zephyr being a changeling, a being who wants love but can't give it, makes too much sense.
Anyways, thanks for a good laugh!
I should be mad about Zephyr dying, but the rest of the story was too good.
A enforced lockdown on physical affection (now why does that feel familiar)?
Zephyr Breeze being a Changeling (which makes way too much sense).
And poor cuddly Pinkie Pie having to deal with a snuggles withdrawal.
Truly a master piece that I was privileged to read. Thanks for writing!

While I am leaving comments (and unfortunately diluting other comments that I like better than mine), please let me say that I enjoy your detailed appreciative comments so much! Even if I'm so grumpy-fussy about spoilers.

I just hope some ponies don't decide the infiltration is over long before it actually is, go out for big cuddle parties, and cause a resurgence even worse than the first wave.
But really, who'd be silly enough to do that?
Bizarre, but definitely entertaining. Thank you for it and best of luck in the judging.
hehehe, that is a very accessible pony solution to this, yes
oof, Pinkie is down bad!
i appreciate the precision in communication here. also that the effect of a list is replicated by using just the letter "o"
Pinkie is down really bad!
dang, just how bad did the Changeling infestation get?
heartbreaking to see Pinkie pre-emptively blame herself like this :(
hehe, this does feel very much like a peek into the mind of Pinkie Pie
so Zephyr Breeze, i both hate him and love him
i like to think that this is not the result of the narration being reflective of Pinkie's perceptions because it is close-in on her perspective, but rather an objective description of the world
you know what, i honestly can't tell if this is a self-own or not
that is a really neat worlbuilding idea, that in a world under siege by Changelings, ponies that can disconnect displays of affection and actually feeling affection would have a useful skill to give to ponies that i can easily see would see that as a "need". and i guess this makes Zephyr the closest thing Equestria has to a sex worker? there are very many layers here and it is fascinating to think about in terms of what the analogues to all these pieces would be in the human world...
hehe, nice
and now you've gone ahead and put a pegasus in a jar...
now that just raises further questions!
and oof, way to twist the knife! now this is how you give characters very out-of-character moments, for the purposes of heightening a cynically absurd comedic bit
and your Commentary on aspects of the show writing really is spot-on here! i have nothing to say that could possibly contest this.
very fun stuff, combining an out-there and interesting worldbuilding premise with the logical conclusions of how one of Equestria's least savory characters would fit into it. thank you for writing!
