Some day, this will be a "Last.fm/NetFlix/Amazon for web fiction" (both original and fanfiction) where you can search across many different hosting sites or rate what you've read and get recommendations. However, life keeps throwing more urgent projects my way, so I don't know when it'll be ready.
“Chrysalis, do you still insist on trying to conquer Equestria even knowing that there are better solutions?” Shade asked.
“I never said that force was the only way. I acknowledged the points that you made years ago. Remember, changelings are power hungry beasts and I’m no exception. I don’t need to fight against Celestia, I want to. It was my decision to lead the invasion, even though I was aware that other tactics existed, because I want to rule Equestria with an iron hoof. Tell me, what is it that you want, Shade?”
Shade glanced at Winter who couldn’t take her eyes off of the imposing Changeling Queen. “I want peace. I want to settle down and live quietly and peacefully with the ponies. I don’t just want to receive love, I want to give it too.”
Winter looked at him and gazed into his eyes as he stared down his former queen. The determination he showed was greater than she had ever seen.
Chrysalis nodded. “I understand. Shade, perhaps if you were King, the changelings would be a much different race than they are under my rule. But I promised long ago to give my subjects new and better lives and I plan on keeping that promise. The only thing I truly desire is to see my subjects happy. And if being here, with these ponies, with this pegasus, is what makes you happy, then you have my blessing. Even if you are no longer one of my subjects, it pleases me to know that happiness for the changelings is possible. And that gives me hope that I’ll one day succeed. Perhaps when Equestria’s throne is mine, I’ll offer you a place in my personal guard. I’d even allow the pegasus to accompany you if that made you happy.”
