Thought I'd make a new post with an update about my next story.

[Slice-of-life][Sad]

Title: Chrysalis is a Changeling

Summary: Chrysalis has a terrible secret. One she has never told any of her hive. Sneaking around behind their backs and living a double life as their leader, Chrysalis has to somehow hide the fact that she's a changeling, lest the rest of the hive find out what she is.

Notes: I wanted to write this because after seeing other similar stories with other characters, I felt they all missed the mark. The idea had potential, but the characters people chose for it were usually very bad for the idea.

So, I started thinking about who it would make the most sense to have as a changeling, and well, I'm surprised no one thought of this earlier. Chrysalis is a character who rules with an iron hoof, and the impact if the rest of her hive ever found out she was a changeling would be devestating. Her world would be shattered.

It never felt like the big reveal had any lasting or real consequences in other fics I've read of this nature. My goal is to reinvent the idea by creating a story where such a secret really holds an impact.

So, let me know what you think. I've been thinking this idea through for a while now and am really eager for some thoughts/want to gauge interest in it.
