Sometimes, the ordinary are forced to do extraordinary things. When the Queen of the Changelings meets her untimely end, she only has moments to link the crown to another, the source of changeling power. Only, she doesn't have any time to explain what it does or how it's used.

A young, male Chrysalis is the one to pick it up. The drone has never been different or in any way special, but when he puts on the crown, his body and mind begin to rapidly change, until he resembles a queen inside and out. Such is the birth of Queen Chrysalis, a confused and inexperienced leader forced to protect her people and bring an end to the rebellion that resulted in the last queen's death, all while handling a delicate relationship with Celestia and attempting to understand her new mind and body.

No one said that any of it was going to be easy. But hey, being tall, sexy, and powerful must have some benefit, right?
