Every year, when the castle opens its doors to neighboring countries, Prince-consort Shining Armor has to watch as Princess Cadance lets diplomats and dignitaries flirt with her, get in her personal space, and generally treat her like a piece of meat. It's bad enough she can't do anything about it, but she won't even let him help.

So this year, Shining's got a plan—one that will have him working his own brand of diplomacy.

Too bad he's underestimated just how strong her public image is—and how driven some of her guests are.

This story contains free use with dubious consent, foalcon and incest, M-to-F transformation, and a husband who will abuse changeling magic to protect his wife. Also sex.
