Shifting Melodies - The Lost Stanzas

Ledger woke up from his slight nap to find that at some point, possibly because they weren’t as tired as him or as worn out as Scope, Midnight and Cider had left. Probably to do things in town before the fair happened. Heaven knows it’d be harder to get around when that happened. And the city would be full of tourists.

Scope, on the other hoof, was laying on his chest, curled up cutely. He couldn’t, didn’t, resist, and softly stroked the small changeling. She groaned softly and her eyes flicked open like a switch. It only took a second to realise where she was, but made no effort to move.

“Hey, Secret,” she yawned. “Sup?”

“Nahmuch, my little jewel,” Ledger said, admiring her cuteness. “Just figured getting you up wouldn’t end badly. Plus it’s easier to talk to you when you’re awake. You feeling alright?”

“I feel...much better,” she said with a small smile. “And, ‘little jewel’ huh? Funny you should call me that, Secret-Hoarder.”

“You may be small, but you’re very precious to me,” Ledger said as he softly hugged the nymph. “It just fits.”

“I said it’s funny, because...I decided on a new name,” she said softly. “I don’t wanna be the ‘Discarded-One’ anymore. That name sucks.”

“Agreed,” Ledger said. “So, do I get to know your new name?”

“Mmmaybe,” she giggled. “What’s in it for me?”

“How about a kiss?” Ledger offered.

“Tempting, but I feel that you’d get more out of that bargain...besides, when did you start asking for one~”

“I meant how about I give you one,” Ledger said with a roll of his eyes.

“Again, when did you start asking?” she replied. “Hmm, how about you use my new name when you do then?”

“I can do that,” Ledger said with a cheeky smile. “Assuming I know it.”

Scope blushed and looked away for a moment, before looking back at him with a bashful look. “It’s... Secret-Treasure...”

Ledger was silent as he thought about her name and all of the implications thereof, before he forewent asking and just gave Scope her kiss.

Her full, tongue-filled kiss.

Scope gave a muffled yelp from the sudden contact, but leaned into it none-the-less. She was happy dammit. She was going to enjoy that and memories or anything else in this world be damned.

Eventually Ledger had to come up for air, and once he did, he looked at Scope with trusting, loving eyes. “My little Secret-Treasure,” Ledger said as he ran a hoof over her form. “I do hope you know what you were signing up for when you took a part of my name for your own.”

“I think I have an idea,” she said, panting slightly from all the love that was given to her. “But...why don’t you tell me?”

“Sadly it means you’ll have to deal with me nigh constantly,” Ledger said with mock drama. “But it also means you’ll have to put up with my mother and father hounding us for little ‘lings. They practically shouted it at me before I left on my journey. ‘Find a nice, reasonable nymph young drone, and let me know when I’m a grandma!’” Once again, Ledger impersonated his mother without needing to alter his voice with his powers.

“That...was slightly terrifying to hear,” she admitted. “And here you said you can’t do gender swaps.” She leaned in to nuzzle his chest, and smiled. “It sounds nice though...having a family, a real family.”

“You have that with me, Cider, and Midnight,” Ledger said as he hugged her. “And I choose not to swap my gender. That was just an impersonation, a non-magical talent I picked up.” With a clearing of his throat, suddenly, Ledger sounded a lot like a certain gryphon.

“I can do it very well, my little shining jewel, but better the more time I spend around somepony else. I would love to spend some quality time with you, if you would permit it.”

“Such a gentleling,” she giggled. “Alright then, you say you love me. Show me how much Secret~”

With the dare delivered, Ledger leaned down and kissed Scope again, this time showing her the depth of the love he held for all the mares he held dear.

Midnight’s love was deepest, of course. He’d known her longer.

Cider only trailed behind her by a little, surprisingly. She had more than earned that distinction, for agreeing to house them after everything had happened.

And the love and care he felt for her...was only a little bit behind Cider’s.

‘So much, so much that I didn’t deserve...and yet...’ She found herself returning the kiss with just as much, if not more love. “Just...please don’t abandon me...not again,” she whispered into his mind with the Hivelink spell.

“Never,” he thought back. “You’ve proven your loyalty...as if you had to. And I am glad you chose us. So we shall choose you in turn. Always and forever, we will stand by you.”

He found her kiss being returned with more passion than before, her chitinous hooves cupping his face as she moaned into his mouth. Eventually, despite their best wishes, they had to come up for air again, and Ledger just hugged the small nymph close.

“So. Are you satisfied that you are loved?” he asked aloud, just looking at Scope.

“I am...more than anything,” she smiled. “I just hope, that I don’t let you down.”

“I was about to say, if I’m doing something wrong, feel free to punch me,” Ledger joked, right as Scope socked him in the shoulder, making him wince slightly.

“Figured out what you're doing wrong yet?” she said sternly.

“I think the answer is ‘giving you opportunities to hit me’,” the unicorn replied as he rubbed the spot she’d punched.

“True, but incorrect also,” she said. “Let me spell it out for you. There is a cute nymph sitting atop of you, having just claimed part of your name and confessed her love, and yet...you just sit there. Do I have to use my pheromones on you dear Secret, of have you taken the hint~?”

Ledger paled a little, and panic surfaced for a second at the mention of pheromones, before he forced himself to be calm. “I will need to cast the accommodation spell again, if that is your desire,” the unicorn said evenly as he looked from the nymph to where he’d last recalled his book being.

“I suppose you’ll have to,” she nodded. “And perhaps, I can help you get over a few fears of your own hmm?”

“Perhaps,” Ledger replied in that same even tone as he repeated the mantra of ‘I can trust her’ in his head. “So will you be getting it, or shall I?”

“Well I don’t know where it is,” she giggled. “But I’m certainly not moving from my spot.”

“And I currently am your spot, so I guess I’m not going anywhere either,” he observed in turn. The unicorn sighed and closed his eyes, before his horn started to glow. With an answering glow of silver, the book appeared from under the bed.

“Found it,” the stallion said as he immediately began leafing towards the back.

“There, was that so hard?” she giggled before she got a lightbulb moment. Time to take a page from the Mistresses book. “Hmm, speaking of hard~” she slowly rubbed her hips against his own, teasing him oh so slowly. She got a twitch from that, as a part of him responded to the stimulation with gusto.

“Ohh, there we go, seems you like little old me after all~” she cooed, teasing her new friend with one of her hind legs. Ledger bit his lip as he finally found the right page, his horn lighting up as he cast the spell...incorrectly.

This time, only one beam of light shot out, impacting Scope alone. She blinked as she tingled all over.

“Well. that was...different,” she said. “What happened there?”

“Let me just read...the side effects,” Ledger said, restraining his enthusiasm. “Um...If cast incorrectly, the spell may still work on one of the targets. Intercourse can still be engaged in, as the partner will still be...accommodating towards things they normally would not be, but without a partner spell cast on their partner...they will still feel as though they are being impossibly stretched or crushed very tightly in the warmest of vices, depending on their gender.”

“That sounds...oddly specific,” Scope repeated her line from last night. “Just who the hell creates these spells...and researches them that thoroughly?”

“We live in Las Pegasus, which is where I found the book,” Ledger said with a roll of his eyes. “You should be thankful there wasn’t an entire wing devoted to this sort of stuff. I personally think the Violets had a hoof in this.” With a snap and a toss, the book was set aside. “So. I can’t safely counter or dispell a miscast. Meaning that’s going to be on you for about an hour. Still interested?”

Scope gulped and looked at him. “Yeah, let’s do this before I lose my nerve again.”

With that, Ledger softly kissed her cheek before running a hoof over it. “You don’t have to if you don’t want to,” he reminded the nymph.

“But I do want to, so let’s go Ledger, it’s rude to keep a lady waiting after all.” She finalised her decision by kissing him again as she pressed her opening against him, leaving him little choice.

“If that is what my lady wishes, then she can set the pace,” Ledger said as one hoof still found its way to her flank and stroked it. She rolled her eyes but nodded. She had been with stallions before. She could do this.

Still, it didn’t stop her heart from racing. This was the first time she’d do it, and actually care about her partner. She slid the first few inches inside, gasping at the sheer girth of it. She panted lightly and grit her teeth as she pushed another inch or so in, until she had about a third inside her.

“You are fucking tight,” Ledger hissed as his other hoof joined the first on holding her flanks. “I don’t think I’ll be able to cum when all is said and done, you’re squeezing me so tightly!”

“You’re just too damned big,” she muttered. “You could take a smaller form, I could take a larger one...but, this is our first. Best done as...ourselves yes?” she pushed another bit inside, groaning as she buried her face into his shoulder.

“Or we could just not distract the pony casting the accommodation spell next time,” Ledger pointed out as he raised one hoof from her flank to stroke along her spine in a comforting gesture.

Scope glanced down and her eyes widened, “Oh...fuck...you need to see this,” using her wings, she moved her body back as she pushed down a little more, his massive member was causing her abdomen to bulge quite visibly. “God damn Ledger...”

“What can I say except this is fucking hot?” the stallion said as he rubbed the bulge, feeling himself through the thin shell of changeling wrapped around him. “If this is the result of a miscast, I’m not complaining!”

“Yeah, I’m sure you aren’t,” she giggled and pushed further. A little more than half was inside her now and she moaned in a long, low tone. “Uuuwwaaa...I think-that’s all that’s gonna fit.”

“Really?” Ledger said as he raised a hoof and slowly put it on Scope’s head. “Maybe we should test this miscast out a little more thoroughly. For science, of course.” With that, he applied gentle pressure to send Scop further down his cock.

“Oooaaahhhhh!” she squealed as she felt that monster penetrate further. She didn’t know if she should fight him or not...until Ledger’s whole length was inside of her, her belly protruding quite a bit from the beast inside of her. “FFfffuuuuck...ahhhh...”

“Hmm,” Ledger mused as he trailed a hoof down her front. “I wonder how easy it’d be to make you cum as you are…” The hoof trailed along and teased the mare, running along the outline of the bulge he was making in her…

Before that hoof found her teats and started teasing them as well. Scope’s eyes shot open and she shrieked something in changeish.

“Gah, Ledgerrr..nooooooo!” Her entire body convulsed as he felt her already tight walls squeeze the life out of him as she came hard, she would have collapsed, but Ledger’s member kept her upright. The drone was all but wearing the little mare.

“I could totally wear you around as an accessory,” Ledger teased as he flicked one of her teats lightly, sending her to fresh heights. “All I would need to do is keep you topped up on the spell and keep pleasing you while you’re on, and I could call you Scope, my cockwarmer.”

“F-Fuck you,” she moaned, her eyes rolling back as each flick sent shockwaves through her body.

“I thought that was your job?” Ledger said as he finally gave her something he normally only gave the others. With a hoof, he found the nymph's clit, and teased the poor little nub of flesh relentlessly.

“Cheat-cheating...Aaahhhhh~” she moaned and tried to move, but Ledger had her firmly wedged in place. He could do whatever he wanted and there wasn’t a thing she could do about it. Her head was swimming with euphoria, so that ruled out magic. Her eyes just rolled back again as Ledger teased her stupid.

“And let’s just see how you react to this,” the drone said before gripping her flanks and slowly pulling her up. Before she could question it, the changeling slammed her back down with enough force to make a ‘smack’ sound in the room.

Scope’s mouth opened in a silent scream of pleasure, she lay her shaky forehooves on his chest and the smallest of moans managed to escape her throat. “Ahhh...too-too much...”

“We’ll just have to see about that,” Ledger said as he gave her a repeat performance, only this time drawing about halfway out before ramming himself home again. Scope just shrieked in pleasure again, her hooves holding his as her body shook. “K-Keep...going.”

Ledger smirked and drew a little more out each time, before hammering right back in and giving the nymph about ten seconds between thrusts, to cum and brace herself for the next one.

“I..don't know...if I can take much more,” she grunted, her whole body ached from near-continuous orgasms, her mind was naught but fluff and she just didn’t care any more. She just wanted the beautiful drone to keep going, to pleasure her again and again.

“Well,” Ledger grunted as he reached the part where only his head was inside now. “You’d better be able to take a load, because I’m not stopping until you get one!’ A mighty thrust buried him back into the nymph. He wanted to cum, but she was just so tight, he might not be able to!

“What’s the matter?” she teased, not her brightest choice, but hey. “Can’t even fill one little mare Secret~?”

“I want to, but you’re just so...tight!” Ledger said, feeling a reaction start to brew and get nowhere once it reached her lips. “Guess I’ll just pound you until you aren’t!” he rolled her over so she was beneath him as his thrusts became even more vigorous. The nymph crying out his name and holding onto him as the pressure built more and more.

“Ahhh... I-I can’t...ahhhh,” she shook as she came again, having lost count a long time ago.

Eventually, something had to give, and thankfully, it was just a fraction of an inch in her tightness.

But it was all he needed as he finally came into the nymph and just held himself there, letting the river flow free at last. Scope’s eyes widened as the torrent poured inside of her, filling her well past the point of overflowing, but the tight seal that his massive member caused meant that none could escape, as she found her stomach bulging even more, sloshing around with the sheer amount he was dumping into her. Ledger sighed and looked down, rubbing a hoof across the work he was filling the nymph with. This felt so right. Pleasurable sex with a nymph.

“P-Pull out...” she gasped. “I’m...I’m gonna explode...oh sweet Hiveessss~” Fortunately, or not, the magic of the spell kept her accommodating everything about Ledger. Including his load~

“Gods... how much longer will I deal with this?’ she groaned. “I feel like a water balloon...”

“I dunno,” Ledger said as he felt the flow keep up with it’s somewhat ridiculous pace. “But maybe I should move us to the bathroom? That way, when you do come off, the mess is easier to clean up.”

“This is going to feel soooo bucking weird,” she muttered. “Okay, next time, I take a bigger form.”

“Yup,” Ledger agreed as he reached one hoof down and held the mare close to his chest, even as he felt the flow start to slow. “Ready for your trip?”

“As I’ll ever be,” she muttered as Ledger slowly stepped off of the bed and inched his way towards the bathroom. It was an...interesting experience to say the least. Ledger felt as though it were something they’d have to try again at some point. Just...not right now. He opened the door with magic and eased him and the mare into the tub.

“Right, I think I’m done,” the drone said as he did indeed feel as though he’d finished cumming. “Ready for me to pull out?”

“Uh-huh,” Scope grit her teeth and and braced herself. This was going to be...messy.

There was an almost comical pop as Ledger pulled his softening dick out of her still-tight pussy. She let out a soft, mewling moan as his essence poured out of her like a river, quickly pooling in the bottom of the tub. She pressed her hooves against her belly as she just sighed contently.

“Well,” Ledger said as he eyed the mess that was thankfully draining. “I know what spell to tinker with now, and how.”

“Yeah...no kidding,” Scope sighed as her body returned to a more normal shape. “Hives above Ledger, I hope you wanted little ‘lings, cause I reckon you got ‘em with that.”

Ledger blinked a few times. “Um...that’s only if you don’t shift between now and whenever,” he pointed out nervously. “...I don’t think I can be a dad just yet,” he whimpered.

“Well gee, I don’t know now,” she smirked. “Ponies can be fooled with illusions after all. And maybe I’d like a little hatchling running around.”

“...you’re less asking for permission or ideas, more telling me what you’re going to do if you are pregnant, aren’t you,” Ledger finally caught on.

“Ooh, this one catches on fast,” Scope grinned evilly. “Maybe I should tell Middy and Cidey that they’re gonna be Mommies as well.”

“...As in, you’re all going to look after the little one, right?” Ledger nervously asked. Scope hummed at that, oh how she could torture him further.

She replied by her body being engulfed in azure flames and Ledger found himself hugging her Pegasus form. He seemed to like this one.

“Better?” she asked in an all-too-sweet tone.

“Assuming you actually shifted, yes, better,” Ledger said, calming down a touch. “...Maybe later. Like a year or so for me to get used to the idea. If anypony still wants foals from me, I might entertain the notion.”

“You’d better, I think Cider will be the first to ask though,” she nodded. “Besides, could you imagine those two looking after a grub? The little monster would eat them alive.”

“Yeah, we’re kinda vicious little brats, aren’t we?” The drone merely hugged the nymph before hearing the sounds of liquid still moving. “You’re still draining, aren’t you.”

“Yeeesssss,” Scope sighed. “My gods, it’s freaking endless. I’m going to have to play transformation roulette just to be extra sure.”

“Well when you live with Midnight and she practically throws lust at you and you’re the son of a Violet,” Ledger said as he drew back. “Then certain things happen. Like storing up lust until ‘the moment’ hits and becoming really productive based off how much you’ve got.”

“How much...did you give me?” she sighed, unable to concentrate anymore and reverted back to her nymph form again. “I can literally take a bath in this stuff. What the hell, do you use that hammerspace spell on your balls?”

“Nah, like I said, my body stores lust. If Midnight teased me and blueballed me, then you would see enormous testicles,” Ledger said. “Violets store lust until they’re actually screwing, then convert it into...fluids during the act. The more lust they have, the more productive they are. I got that from dad, coupled with noble blood from mom. Add in Midnight’s nearly limitless well of lust, and this keeps happening.”

“Imagine if all three of us blueballed you?” Scope chuckled, splashing in the puddle of cum under her. It was there, might as well have some fun. “You’d prolly explode!”

“That, or have balls so large I couldn’t move,” Ledger agreed. “I’m just glad you aren’t that cruel.” With a small application of pressure to her abdomen with one hoof, Ledger helped the process of her draining along.

“Oh, such innocence,” Scope chuckled darkly as she finally expelled most of the liquid. “Well...ignorance is bliss after all.”

“If you do that, I swear I will pull this botched spell off on you on purpose and we’ll have a repeat session,” Level promised. “You good?”

“I believe so,” Scope nodded as she turned her head to give Ledger a kiss, only to have her eyes widen and her mouth to hang open in shock.

“...What?” Ledger asked innocently.

“Well,” a familiar Thestral’s voice said, followed by the giggle of an equally familiar Earth Pony. “It seems some certain somebuggies had a lot of fun~”

Ledger slowly turned to look at the mares in the doorway before looking back at Scope. “I didn’t see anything, did you?” he asked the small ‘ling.

“Nope, nopony here but us...love,” she giggled, kissing him on the nose.

“Good,” Ledger said as he picked the little changeling up from the bath and moved to the shower instead. “While that drains, let’s get clean.”

“What the buck happened in there?” Cider looked in the tub as she turned on the hot water. “Sweet Celestia, it’s everywhere!”

“Aw, I missed one heck of a show,” Midnight pouted. She sat her rump down in front of the shower. “I demand a repeat performance!”

Ledger looked down at Scope and gave her a kiss on the head. “Up to you if we acquiesce to the needy thestral, and how,” he informed the little bug-pony. She sighed as she rinsed off in the warm water, any leftover fluids running off of her chitin. After that, she gave Ledger another kiss as she stepped out of her shower, and floated Midnight and Cider inside.

“You kids have fun, I need a freaking nap.”

Ledger looked at the ladies in the shower with him before pulling them into a hug. “So...that’d make this round...three?” he asked with a pointy smile. “I can keep going, I promise~”

“Oh you’d better~” Midnight purred, pinning him against the wall and kissing him. The rest of the day dissolved into a haze of lust…
