Stinkbug, a changeling worker drone slated for reproduction purposes once he matures, is exiled from his hive after an unfortunate magical condition causes him to emit a malodorous funk. Cut off from the swarm, tossed out of the hive, can Stinkbug survive the dangerous wilds of Equestria?
May the best stink win!
Aw! Some
buggybirdy loves him after all!Grats, Stinky. You smell like A-1 Steak Sauce.
One person was the cow lady.
Awww boy, here we go !
Let me guess - vulture griffon?
If he survives that, maybe he can visit a certain lady with dead nasal mucosa in the swamps?
Heavens help us if any earth pony ever hears this.
Whatever goes upon solid legs is an enemy.
Whatever goes upon holey legs is a friend.
No changeling drone shall wear clothes.
No changeling drone shall sleep in a bed.
All changeling drones are equal.
And Queen Chrysalis is superior to everyone else.

Not a griffon. I am going with something entirely new and different. Something original and unique.
7126122
Sir, I'm intrigued.
Why am I reading this?
... I chose this. I chose to read this.
I am reading your story about a stinky changeling. Here I am, kudz. You win.
Other than the extremely quick discarding from the hive though... it's not like I have bad words to say about the story. Other than how the main character stinks, anyway.
7126178
I am going with quick pacing on this story. Quick, snappy pacing. This isn't going to be a long, drawn out epic.
7126181
Yeah. I suppose there isn't necessarily a problem with that either. It's not even that jarring.
I wonder if Brown Note and Company gets a new friend.
You actually did it... This gonna be good.
I threw this in Notepad while I was reading it earlier and forgot to post it then.
-and
to
Ch1
massive castles were they lazed about all day doing nothing
where
This is turning out a whole lot more interestingly than I was expecting
What's that foul smelling stench outside my door?
It's trash day remember?
Wut?
7126181
Why, it's practically buzzing along!
This makes me smile, and I dont know why.
7127456
That joke stinks.
Aaw I hope they do well together.
My shipping sense is tingling. Keep up the awesome work!
Hmm, I can't recall in recent memory anyone using Harpies or Grognar much.
This shall be quite a treat then!
I can't remember, is this in a new verse or an existing one?

See the group listing over on the side? ---->
Weed world.
Stinkbug is adorable, and Celaeno's enthusiasm is charming.
I hope they succeed. I wish them the best.
Huh. A very interesting design and origin for harpies. I quite like it. Definitely looking forward to whatever wacky hijinks these two get up to.
I absolutely love the world building about Grogar and the Harpies. Can’t wait until the next chapter.
First Ripple, now Celaeno...really !? That´s, like, the FIRST RULE on the "Rules for Life" book ! Never say that ! It´s like a gigantic, luminous midfinger to the destiny. "Here, I defy you...try to kill me !"
This is fun.
I love Celaeno as a character. I find the Goat-headed Harpy strange to my mind, but I don't know what a normal Harpy normally looks like... Still I love her character, she's fun, and adorable!
U wot, m8?
I shippit. Shippit like FedEx, dammit.
It's Doomies stinky cousin Stinky!
Then I shall call it Flower.

a truly fitting name!

I had to. :P
Oh, that's what the smell is. It's Stinkbug's brain cooking itself as it tries to comprehend the beauty and vastness of the universe and the deepest truths of reality. Of course, that doesn't account for the smell back in the hive. Still, here's hoping Stinky finds satisfactory answers before his brain starts oozing out of his ears.

I was actually referencing that awesome short story.
hmm an interesting story you got here kudz.
That pony was a jerk
7223519
See it from his perspective.
7223523
Oh yeah, a monster from the great wastelands came down and started at him, he's scared and desperate. Doesn't stop him from being a jerk.
Either make sure it's dead, or just run away screaming, a brain-damaged monster in pain is a threat to everyone.
Short-sighted jerk.
7223550
Braeburn never was too smart.
Next time, just sit back and enjoy the song. Assuming there is a next time. Celaeno's concussed and Stinkbug used quite a bit of magic to execute his escape plan. This may not end well for either of them.
OK - you've finally caught my attention on this one. Now I'm actually starting to feel for the characters.
Damnit, Braeburn!
Poor Stinkbug, but if even the Queen's magic couldn't stop the smell, he had to go.
Ugh, I almost wish I could magically go forward into time so I can have all of these stories finished so I can read them all at once.
7323188 And then....
...then...
...the awfull, no-good, very bad void of no-more stories.
7323362 Yup, that's why I said "Almost" It's kind of like how Patrolling the Mojave almost makes you wish for a nuclear winter.
