@Lurker: Interesting. Changeling symbiosis is probably the real way they feed, since it provides a Love that can only grow even as they subsist on it. Of course this means that Chrysalis was doing it wrong.

My fanon wild mass guess is that they need exposure to love in order to get their metabolism to process food properly, or they'll get malnourished.

She was probably thinking pretty short-term. Plus she's kind of a bitch.

Well, mutual love isn't something that you can just go out and find like you can normal food. They're more or less forced to be parasites by nature if they want to retain their society.

I still think it would be kinda neat to see a pony from a changeling's perspective - like, the Changeling is disgusted by the pony, because the pony kills something to eat it.

"It's just a plant."

"IT's still ALIVE!"

@Blissey: Generally, anything good.

As for the Changeling thing, it'd be cute to see a couple where the pony knows their partner is a Changeling and doesn't mind :3

I'm not entirely convinced that Chrysalis wouldn't have killed SA if she had continued to feed off of him like she intended to, so I doubt that they hold all life as that sacred. I'd say that if anything, a changeling would view a pony as wasteful in giving their love away.

@Ace: Mind nothing, They love it!

@Lurker: It's more killing to eat. I think Chrys and the changelings would probably consider Shiny an 'acceptable loss' in order to find more food, but to their eyes killing to eat is pretty stupid, since it then removes their foodscource. But, I still don't doubt that the notion of killing would make more than a few of them pretty darn uncomfortable. As a species they don't really have a notion or need to kill, so to them the whole prospect probably seems really alien.

@ kegisak and JT

I'm going to start reading those fics of yours on Friday. But I had to clean out my P Ms. If you can, please send me the links again.

@Kegi: it would certainly make their bedroom life much more interesting and colourful [lol]

@Kegi I guess it would be weird for them, but considering that the Changelings have to infiltrate and mimic their hosts to feed, it can't be completely alien to them. You have to at least understand your target before you can successfully imitate them.

Check the history, Shota. It got renamed to Inaccuracies Index. It's just being converted.

@Lurker: Well, that's true enough I suppose. Not alien, but still weird to them. Course that also depnds on whether they all need to fee directly or whether they have the sort of 'hunters gather 'food' for the whole hive thing, and the love given is actually divided amongst all changelings. Unlikely, but interesting to think about.

@Apple: Ooh, if it was Our Eminence you were planning on reading, I'd hold off. I'm not going to be posting the revisions until I can get them reviewed, which'll likely be some time after christmas. I'd be happy to drop you a link to my fimfiction if you're interested in reading anything else I've got there, though.

@ Ace, well can never stop recommending Time Lords And Terror.

The Equestrian Equation is also a great Mass Effect crossover.

@Seraphem: read them already. Saw a few Halo crossovers on fimfiction, but their quality is questionable.

Saw a Holmes and a Robotech crossover, but both are woefully incomplete.

@Ed: Pinkie Battery Jokes are probably gonna endure for a good while yet, not to mention jokes about the screws and where they are.

Generally, anything good.

well, not counting Dr. Whooves stories(I consider those a separate category from normal crossovers anyway), I can throw 2 at you right away. These are both easily in my top 5 for crossovers.

Crossed Paths. The girls, Indy, and Jack each stumble upon the exact same strange red gem while exploring ruins in their own respective verses. When they all simultaneously make a grab for it, and Twilight tries to teleport, they all find themselves in a strange place that seems almost alive, and is recreating places, and enemies, from all three of their respective verses, and eventually from other verses entirely. They have to work together to find out what is up with this place and find a way home.

I know this sounds like a crazy crossover, but it's seriously well done. It's criminal how little attention this has. Though I have to warn you, it gets pretty dark towards the end, in a Survival Horror kind of way. Nobody dies or anything, but the settings get crazy and it's quite descriptive.

Justice Itself -in progress. Tyrael, Archangel of Justice, upon destroying the Worldstone, is flung clear out of Sanctuary and into the endless plane between realities, Pandemonium, and crashlands in Equestria. Dying, and too far away to be reborn from the Crystal Arch, Celestia and Luna craft him a mortal shell, a pegasus body, for him to inhabit while his angelic essence recuperates. And they know the perfect quaint little town for him to stay at while he does so. Of course, adapting to being a mortal is the least of the challenges Tyrael, now named Paladin, will have to overcome...

Some pretty awesome action, a bit of comedy from Tyrael adapting to a mortal form, and I want to say more but it would kind of spoil things.
