“There are three things all wise men fear: the sea in storm, a night with no moon, and the anger of a gentle man.” - Patrick Rothfuss

E

When Princess Cadance started sending coded letters to Queen Chrysalis via an old changeling dead-drop, the Queen was sure it was a trap.

But the invitation to take Cadance's place for a Hearth's Warming was too tempting to pass on. And so - a truce was struck. For now.


A Breezie story written for Str8aura for Jinglemas 2022

And featured 12/27/2022 - 12/29/2022!

I don't know what I would like to read more about: another exchange of places or a story showing Chrysalis' point of view on the Hearth's Warming while she plays Cadance. ^^

Though I have to ask, was the Hearth's Warming here the one from Best Gift Ever special or was it entirely unique one?

I have a feeling that this story is a continuation of another story that we missed.

How do you skip over the actual celebrations? Oh well, what you wrote was still amusing.

It bums me out that I wasnʼt able to do my Jinglemas assignment, but I truly am proud of what you came up with. This was a wonderful piece. Happy Hearthʼs Warming, TCC56 and Str8aura!

Aw, this was sweet. Though due diligence does drive me to wonder if Shining Armor was in on it. I’d like to think the answer is “yes”, if for no other reason than concern for Flurry’s safety, but also that Cadance told him to pretend like he didn’t know.

I wish the show had done something like this. Letting Chrysalis go at the end of Season 6 doesn’t make sense unless the ponies and changelings think that she isn’t likely to be a threat anymore - which means that, unless one wants the ponies and changelings to look like morons, one has to show that she isn’t really a threat anymore. And not in the sense of “she’s too useless on her own to be a threat”, but instead in the sense of “she does want things to change for her, it’s just that her pride gets in the way.”

This was interesting, I liked it :heart:

Even the mighty Chrysalis dares not promote board games unless they're made by Hasbro.

I really liked this, I can totally see Cadence and Chrysalis doing something like this to promote peace between the two nations. Excellent work!

You could totally see these two getting along. Almost like sisters that once fought over a guy.

Unfortunately, that was a time/space concern. I only had about a week to do this in, and Jinglemas has a 5k soft cap on stories. My original outlines put this at around 10-12k, so I had to noodle incident a lot to get it under the cap.

He was 100% in on it. Cadance isn't stupid. Hopeful, but not stupid.

I liked it. A wonderful story

Christmas truces are fun, aren't they?

I threw my request into the void without a clue how you would manage, and I'm very pleased by the results. Cadence as the playful and most laid back princess is a characterization I greatly enjoy.

One way of looking at your question is, 'because the current state of the story is primarily about the relationship between these two sovereigns, including how they see their scheme through their own and each other's eyes?'

But the story you envision could be good too, if a lot longer and maybe less focused.

(imho) :twilightsmile:

Anyway, TCC, I've enjoyed this story every time I've read it. :twilightsmile:
