Affection from a Different Angle
“My queen,” the pegasus guard stated, kneeling before Daybreaker’s throne, “the envoy from the Crystal Empire has arrived. Princess Cadance and Shining Armor, as well as a contingent of soldiers, await in the courtyard. What are your orders?”
The alicorn lounged back in her seat, casting a dismissive eye at the armor clad stallion who knelt before her. The mare’s flowing white gown, accented in golden filigree, shifted as she stood, contouring her sculpted form and accentuating her every curve. Her ethereally blazing mane and tail magically wafted in some non-existent breeze of the throneroom.
“I’ll greet the princess myself,” she said, standing and walking towards the doorway. “Have a cadre of centurions awaiting me at the courtyard, and send a runner to inform our guests that the queen will be down to attend them forthwith.”
Daybreaker casually strolled through the castle towards her destination, content to leave her guests waiting. She’d received correspondence from Cadance periodically after casting aside the mantle of Princess of the Sun and her ascension to Daybreaker. The Princess of Love always was remarkably nieve, holding onto hope for others and clinging to her antiquated beliefs of love and selflessness. Shortly after Daybreaker began her campaign to bring Equestria under her heel, Cadance sealed the borders of the Crystal Empire. Utilizing the power of the Crystal Heart the pink alicorn harnessed the love and power of her people to repel any and all efforts exerted by Daybreaker’s forcers, their corruption making them unable to breach the Crystal Empire’s mystical defences.
Even after having formed a tenuous partnership with Chrysalis, Queen of the changelings, Daybreaker’s efforts to lay claim to Cadance’s empire proved fruitless. Between the infernal artifact at the empire’s heart, and its defenders, every attempt had been futile. Throughout it all Cadance had pleaded for a treaty or accord between the two nations, although Daybreaker felt confident that she was simply hoping for the opportunity to speak with her in person. She chuckled to herself, amused at the notion of the younger alicorn attempting to sway her from her course of conquest.
As she continued down a corridor, which lead to the courtyard, Daybreaker paused as she passed an open doorway. “Are the preparations in place,” she asked the darkness within.
“But of course,” a voice replied, a pair of cat-like emerald eyes peered back at her. “Just remember your part of the bargain. Once all of this is said and done I’ll get her husband.”
“Agreed, although, to be completely honest, there are far better specimens out there to choose from,” Daybreaker responded.
“It’s a matter of principle at the point, and I want to watch him squirm,” Chrysalis replied, licking her chops at the thought of getting her hands on the white stallion.
“Ah, well I can certainly sympathize with that; now be gone with you, lest my guests catch wind of your presence,” Daybreaker hissed as she continued down the hallway, leaving the changeling queen to slink away unnoticed.
It only took another minute or so before Daybreaker reached the antechamber which lead to the courtyard. A lone centurion stallion, bedecked in gleaming golden armor snapped to attention as she approached.
“Inform them of my arrival,” the alicorn flatly stated, without breaking stride, as she neared the exterior doorway.
The centurion nodded, turning to the double doors before casting them open, allowing the midday sunlight to stream into the room. “All hail Empress Daybreaker, sovereign ruler of all Equestria,” he barked into the courtyard, causing the dozen other centurions gathered to stiffen in place and slam a gauntleted fist to their breastplates.
The soldiers from the Crystal Empire, nearly a dozen stallions and mares adorned in reflective crystalline armor over their iridescent coats, turned to watch as Daybreaker sauntered into view. Closing her eyes, and allowing the sunlight to wash over, the Queen of the Day basked in the warm rays of light. The translucent fabric of her garb left virtually nothing to the imagination, as her heavy bosom and broad hips swayed while she approached. The thin fabric softly wafted over her frame, magnifying the beauty of her every movement.
Daybreaker smiled to herself, taking note of the slack jaws and lusting glances of several of the Crystal Empire’s soldiers, although the vast majority looked upon her with contempt. Throwing her arms wide, and looking about in mock confusion, she addressed the assembled crystal ponies. “Quite uncouth not to greet the empress, and host, of the castle you’ve decided to visit,” she said wryly to nopony in particular.
The door on the side of the carriage clicked, drawing the attention of those assembled. As it swung open a wiley orange stallion, wearing a flowing blue robe and spectacles, stepped forth. “May I present Princess Cadance and Prince Shining Armor, benevolent rulers of the Crystal Empire and emissaries of love,” Sunburst announced, stepping aside for his monarchs to depart.
A unicorn stallion strode forth, his blue mane shifting in the breeze as he stepped to the ground. Wearing an exquisitely tailored suit he scowled when he spotted Daybreaker, clearly displeased at the sight of her. Extending a hand within the carriage Princess Cadance gingerly clasped it in her own, stepping down beside her husband. The pink alicorn wore a lavender dress, refined and dignified but, Daybreaker thought, lacking the aesthetic fitting of a ruler. She ignored every other pony assembled, fixating on the white alicorn, as she marched over to stand face to face with the Daybreaker. Her expression was neutral as she leaned forward and wrapped her arms around Daybreaker, embracing her tightly as everyone else looked on in shock.
“It’s so good to see you again Celestia,” Cadance said, pulling back to give her a warm smile. “I hope we’ll be able to come to a peaceful resolution after all of this nonsense.”
Internally, Daybreaker’s jaw dropped. She’d expected Cadance to be amiable, although being greeted with a hug like an old friend was the last thing he would have predicted. Fortunately the seasoned politician in her kept her reaction in check as she returned the hug, patting the smaller pink alicorn on the back before kissing her once on the cheek. “Cadance, it’s been far too long my dear,” she warmly said.
“Daybreaker,” Shining Armor said coldly, walking up beside his wife.
“Shining,” Daybreaker replied, releasing Cadance from her embrace. “I don’t presume the two of you came to tender your empire’s subjugation?” she chuckled.
“No,” Cadance responded, her tone suddenly stern, “Celestia we...I came to talk. Surely you can see that this madness can’t continue. Our borders are impregnable and forces are beginning to rally against you as we speak, there’s still time to end this.”
“It’s...too late for that,” Daybreaker said with resigned look on her face. “I’m sorry but I have to see this through to the end. My subjects are happy, freed from the moral confines of their past lives as they embrace their innermost desires.”
“The elements of harmony could, in theory, reverse whatever malign force has overtaken you,” Sunburst stated, thoughtfully stroking his beard. “If they were able to undo the affliction of Nightmare Moon then surely they could purge you of the taint which has consumed you.”
“I’m afraid not wizard, unlike my sister I’ve embraced my true self with open arms. I was so blind with the old ways and societal norms that I was limiting not only myself, but my people as well. We’re better now, stronger than we ever have been. If the Crystal Empire were to join me our power would be magnified several times over!” Daybreaker continued, clenching her fist at the prospect of allying the two nations.
“I’m sorry Celestia, you know I...We can’t do that,” Cadance solemnly said, clasping her husband’s hand.
“How dare you give us such an offer,” Shining Armor demanded through gritted teeth. “We’ll never bend a knee to you or the perversion that you call a kingdom.”
“I see,” Daybreaker noted, glaring at the white stallion before shifting her gaze to his wife. “Perhaps I can offer you a ceasefire then, I’ll leave your empire unmolested so long as you do not interfere with my actions,” she continued, smiling sincerely at Cadance. “Perhaps, in time, you’ll change your mind and see the light.”
“I’ll need time to consider this offer, in the meantime we shall return to the Crystal Empire. It seems like this was a fruitless venture,” Cadance murmured, a defeated look in her eyes as she turned back to the carriage. “Honestly I just wanted to see if the rumors of your transformation were true but it doesn’t seem like I’ll be able to sway you.”
“Surely your entourage and yourself can stay the evening? It’s quite a trip back, and what sort of a host would I be for shooing off a group of dignitaries who’d come to pay me a visit without offering them a banquet?” Daybreaker asked, addressing the crystal ponies affectionately.
“No,” Shining Armor coldly stated, turning to the carriage and away from the alabaster alicorn.
“Dear, surely a meal and a good night’s rest couldn’t hurt. Daybreaker surely wouldn’t do us any harm, lest it further polarize the surrounding nations and be an open declaration of war against the Crystal Empire. Isn’t that right?” Cadance looked to her former mentor, a weak smile upon her lips.
“Too true my dear,” Daybreaker chuckled, “It would seem that your time as a ruler has cultivated quite the shrewd mare. Come, I’ll have my centurions escort you to the guest wing to refresh yourselves, then we can enjoy a meal as friends, if not all allies.”
Cadance grinned up at the larger alicorn, “Don’t think I’ve given up on you, love does conquer all.”
“Hmmmm, so I’ve heard,” Daybreaker countered. “Now come, I’ll show you to your suite and a room for your guards and Sunburst,” she continued, trotting back into the castle. A pair of centurions flanked the alicorn as she disappeared inside, their polished metal armor standing in stark contrast to the curvaceous beauty of their empress. Cadance and Shining Armor hung back, watching as their retinue filed inside.
“Are you sure this is a good decision?” Shining Armor asked anxiously, looking to his wife.
“I meant what I said earlier,” Cadance firmly replied, “we may yet be able to sway her from this madness. She was my teacher and a dear friend Shiny, you must realize I have to try.” She looked up to the white stallion, hugging him tightly. “I know you’re just worried but she won’t try anything, I promise.”
“If you say so, but I’m still going to have the soldiers and Sunburst on high alert for anything suspicious. Celestia was always cunning and it seems that, although a twisted version of her former self, Daybreaker is the same,” Shining Armor said, looking down into his wife’s eyes. “And you can’t blame me for being protective, after the incident with Chrysalis at our wedding and then Sombra I’m just a little on edge,” he continued, kissing her snout.
Cadance hopped up on her tiptoes and planted a tender kiss on his lips, closing her eyes while embraced by her loving spouse. “Well come on, I am pretty hungry,” she admitted, tugging at the cuff of his shirt. Together they entered the castle, escorted by their soldiers and Sunburst.
Daybreaker’s guest quarters were exceptionally lavish, comprised of a master suite for the royal couple and a small dormitory for their entourage. After the envoy from the Crystal empire had refreshed themselves they were summoned to the banquet hall adorned with an auspicious dining table lined with all sorts of exotic delectables. Daybreaker, already seated at its head, stood as they entered greeting the ponies and inviting them to sit. After Sunburst inspected the food for any sort of magical tampering, a standard procedure on diplomatic missions, the assembly sat. The meal itself was rather terse, the soldiers silently ate their meal while the alicorns casually chatted about times long since past. Shining Armor refused to speak, choosing instead to stay mute throughout the banquet.
“Well,” Daybreaker began, standing after finishing her meal, “I’ll leave you and your attendants to resign for the evening. It was pleasant seeing you again Cadance and I’m glad that we were able to enact a ceasefire, if nothing else.” She hugged the smaller pink alicorn one last time before looking to Shining Armor. “I know you’re less than pleased with all of this but perhaps, in time, you’ll realize that I’m not the monster you seem to think I am,” she calmly said, extending a hand to the stallion.
“Yea, well we’ll have to see about that,” he curtly replied, shaking the mare’s hand before turning to leave.
With that the groups parted ways, the crystal ponies retiring to their quarters for the evening while Daybreaker returned to her chamber. As Cadance and her group prepared to rest for the night she placed a pair of guards to watch their suite and an additional pair to attend the dorm the soldiers were residing in. Those who could layed down for the night, resting atop the comfortable beds afforded them by their host, while Cadance and Shining Armor relaxed atop their oversize bed before drifting off to sleep.

“Cadance...Cadance!” a feminine voice shouted, jarring Cadance from her slumber.
Looking up she was met by the face of a white unicorn mare with a short crop of blue hair atop her head. “W...wha,” she began to say, but stopped. Her voice was several octaves deeper than it should have been. Looking down at her hands she realized, with a start, that they were significantly larger and more broadly built. In a panic she cast aside the blanket covering her, discovering that her bosoms were gone, replaced by a pair of rippling pectorals. Her words failed her, as her vision crept down her frame. A flaccid cock now rested at her crotch, along with an accompanying pair of hefty balls. “Shining?” Cadance uttered, looking back to the white mare. Her husband, presuming it was actually him, had been transformed into a curvy white mare. A pair of perky tits sat on her chest, where his stallion hood had been was now a smooth bit of flesh above a markedly swollen and moist vulva.
“What happened to us?” Cadance blurted, curiosity getting the better of her as she ran her hand along her newly formed body.
“I...I don’t know, I just woke up like this.” Shining replied, a look of concern on his flushed face.
“Are you hurt? I mean, do you feel alright?” Cadance asked, her eyes wandering to his slickened loins.
“I’m not sure, I just feel kinda dizzy and hot, and I’ve got an ache in my abdomen,” he responded, rubbing his lower stomach with one hand. “Do you think we were poisoned?”
“I can’t say, I know Celestia always was fond of practical jokes so perhaps she’s just pulling a prank on us,” Cadance chuckled, finding the situation comical, if not slightly disconcerting.
“It’s not funny!” Shining shot back. “This body is just weird, I just feel so much weaker now and this,” he ran a hand along his lower lips, “is just so damn sensitive. Is it supposed to be like that?”
“Well, sometimes. I usually only get like if I’m really riled up,” Cadance responded contemplatively, “or if I’m in a heat. Oh! Is your head all foggy and your body feels warm and tingly?” she asked excitedly with a glimmer in her eye.
“Kinda,” Shining replied sheepishly, his gaze lingering on her stallionhood as it began to slowly swell in size. Cadance suddenly lunged forward, toppling Shining to his back. “Cadance what are you…” his words were cut short as the alicorn jammed her tongue into his mouth, kissing him passionately with her powerful muzzle.
“May as well make the most of this, I’ve always wanted you to see what this felt like and you smell absolutely amazing,” Cadance cooed, shifting around and bringing her snout just above Shining’s pussy. Without preamble she grabbed his now supple hips and rolled onto her back, leaving the two in a sixty nine position. Craning her neck upward, Cadance licked his snatch, making sure to pause and swirl her tongue around his clit.
Shining Armor moaned, the sensation not to having his cock head stimulated, as his wife lapped at his cooch. His head drooped forward, and his nose booped against her rapidly hardening cock.
“Well,” Cadance said, pausing her efforts to look back at him, “I don’t want to feel left out. You are a girl now so just give it a try.”
He hesitantly nodded, running his face down her length and to her plump pink nuts. She smelled totally different, but not in a bad way. Heavily masculine scent filled his nostrils, causing his head to spin and the ache at his groin to redouble. Propping himself on one arm Shining wrapped his free hand around her shaft, gently squeezing it as he stroked it from root to tip. The flesh was warm and velvety soft beneath his fingers. Shifting in place he brought the broad head of Cadance’s newfound equipment to his lips as a clear bead of precum formed at its tip. Running his tongue around the broad tip of her member he licked it clean, the taste was salty and cloying but, for whatever reason, spurned him to continue. Easing more of her shaft into his mouth Shining began to blow her in ernest, continuing to stroke her girthy rod in the process.
Cadance groaned into his cunt, renewing her efforts to pleasure her husband in ways he’d never experienced. Slipping her tongue deeper into his snatch she savored his flavor, sweet and somewhat acidic, as his juices flowed over her taste buds. The unintended benefit of inexplicably switching sexes was that you knew exactly what to do to best pleasure your partner. The keen insight of knowing just where to lick, caress, or nuzzle allowed the two to express their lust with surgical precision.
“Cadance,” Shining sighed, having withdrawn her now throbbing phallus from his mouth, “I want you inside me. I need it.”
She didn’t need to be asked twice, immediately wrestling Shining onto his back and scrambling between his legs. Cadance reached down, grabbing the rigid rod of flesh at her loins and rubbing its blunt tip against his slickened entrance. “So you want me to fuck you huh,” she teased, grinning down at him.
He begged her with his eyes, looking up at her pitiably, as he reached down with one hand and spread himself, exposing the tender pink flesh of his marehood. “I want to know how you feel when we make love,” he breathed.
Pressing her head against his entrance she slipped inside, gradually pushing forward until she had nearly half her length inside of him. They froze, the sensation of penetrating, and being penetrated, wholly alien to each of them. Slowly Cadance began to move her hips, sliding more of her shaft into Shining Armor’s snatch with each thrust.
“Oh my god,” she groaned. The warm and tight confines of Shining’s cunt wrapping around her member felt absolutely sublime. She’d only ever been able to imagine what it was like to have a dick, but this was far better than her wildest fantasies. Her cock was nearly as sensitive as her clit had been, but it was exponentially larger. Shining’s snatch felt like heated silk, clinging to her length as she thrust inside of him.
Shining Armor felt like his mind was melting, the feeling of having a cock inside of him sent shivers up his spine. Each time Cadance withdrew herself and slammed back inside of him sent jolts of pleasure through his body, and he could swear he felt every vein along her girthy shaft as it moved within him. The tip of her stallionhood bumped against his womb, causing his eyes to roll to the back of his head. Shining’s body was virtually on autopilot, contracting the muscles of his vaginal canal around the rod of flesh within as his hips began to gyrate in tune with her movements.
“I...I think I’m getting close,” Cadance stammered through gritted teeth. She could feel herself beginning to throb within him, the tight sensation of his marehood constricting around the rapidly flaring head of her prick was divine.
Shining wrapped his legs around her hips, drawing her deeper as she continued to jackhammer his cunt. He tried to form words but failed miserably, moaning whorishly while she pistoned into him. A searing heat was building inside of him, almost like a pressure which was reaching to a peak. Suddenly his body was wracked by a powerful orgasm, his pussy clenched and spasmed around Cadance’s stallionhood. Feminine juices squirted around her meaty shaft, soaking her crotch, and the bedsheets below, as she continued to savagely fuck him. He mewled feverishly, impaled on her shaft, as his mind virtually broke and tears of pleasure streamed down his face.
Shining Armor’s folds clamped down around Cadance’s swollen cock, pushing her over the edge as he convulsed beneath her. She could feel her balls withdraw, and her shaft pulsate, as the first gush of hot cum rocketed through its length. Cadance slammed her hips forward, burying herself as deep as possible, sending a seething tide of jizz into her mate. She screwed her eyes shut as the orgasm overtook her, a veritable explosion of pleasure the likes of which she’d never experienced before. A pair of hands wrapped around her head, and she found herself drawn into a passionate kiss from her lover. Together they stay entwined, riding out their ecstasy, locked in a deep kiss as Cadance’s hips continued to hump fitfully.
“Look at you two,” a voice boomed from behind them, causing them both to flinch. “Such a cute couple, I must say,” Daybreaker continued as she walked into the room.
“Celestia?” Cadance asked, still balls deep in Shining Armor. “Was this your doing?”
“Only the physical aspect, a combination of a carefully cultivated strain of Poison Joke along with a pinch of zebra alchemy, but your love is ultimately what spurned this little adventure,” the white alicorn continued, walking to their side. “Just think, if the entire Crystal Empire were able to experience every facet of love like this. Stallions, mares, and everything in between, able to love in every conceivable way; with the Princess of Love as their leader of course,” she continued, grinning down at the two.
“And you would share this with us?” Cadance wheezed, panting slightly as she recovered from her climax.
“But of course! All I ask is that you open your borders and sign a peace treaty with my empire, surely a small price to pay for the myriad of experiences your subjects will be privy to,” Daybreaker responded with a predatory grin.
“We won’t ally ourselves with you...but perhaps a treaty would benefit us both,” Cadance said with resignation. She wouldn’t let a chance like this slip through her fingers.
“Cadance I…” Shining Armor’s words were cut short as Cadance glared down at him.
“Shiny, with this the Crystal Empire would be the epicenter of love for Equestria! I will not forego the opportunity that this could bring to our people!” she chided.
Daybreaker grinned wickedly at the exchange. Of course the potion, which had been slipped into their meal, was more than simply some Poison Joke extract. It was, in fact, tainted with distilled changeling aphrodisiacs and excretions which Queen Chrysalis had produced herself. Upon ingestion it would switch the sex of an individual and ignite in them a lust beyond comprehension. A potent and intoxicating drug which would, after time, corrupt the user to little more than wanton harlot. Given time the Crystal Empire would beg for more, and Daybreaker would welcome them with open arms.
“I can send a shipment with you on your trip home, after we sign the treaty of course. Shining Armor and Sunburst can stay around for another few days, we should have another batch done by then,” Daybreaker remarked thoughtfully, remembering her promise to the changeling queen.
“That sounds...acceptable,” Cadance noted, withdrawing her softening length from Shining Armor’s abused cunt with a wet pop.
“Feels amazing doesn’t it?” Daybreaker asked, leering down at the cum oozing from Shining Armor’s snatch. “Being rutted and cummed in as you’re overpowered by a stallion?” Shining Armor blushed and turned away, closing his legs and pulling a blanket over himself while refusing to answer.
“I’ll send for our guards, I simply can’t wait to bring this miraculous substance back to the crystal ponies!” Cadance giddily replied, jumping up from the bed.
“Perhaps you should give them just a while longer, they’re all enjoying their new equipment and I’m sure they’d like a chance to finish and clean up before they address their princess,” Daybreaker stated with an amused chuckle.
“Oh, right, well I guess I’ll shower myself then. Come on Shiny,” Cadance called over her shoulder, nearly skipping to the attached bathroom to clean herself.
“I’ll leave you two to tidy up, meet me in the coronation hall once you’re ready,” Daybreaker said dismissively as she made her leave. “I’ll be sure to have as much of the elixir crated for transport by the time you arrive.”
~
The rest of the morning went by in a flash. Cadance signed the peace treaty with Daybreaker and departed back to the Crystal Empire with her shipment in tow. Shining Armor and Sunburst, along with two guards, stayed behind as guests in the Canterlot Castle while they awaited more of the intoxicating drug that Daybreaker supplied. Little did they know that they had unwittingly fallen into the white alicorn’s clutches, but that’s a story for another day...
