In the old days when not much was known about the Changeling race, they were believed to possess the capability of direct mental communications, forming what is known as a Hive-Mind. This theory has been long debunked.

Yet, that doesn't mean Hive-Minds cannot exist. And afterall it was not the Changelings but the Ponies that first developed the ability thanks to the flare of a scared unicorn filly.

This story shows different scenes from that universe where a Hive-Mind hides among the ponies.

After a long time, several attempts, and a few AUs developed, i finally managed to write something complete and i'm happy with its quality enough to share here. Since i wasn't initially planning to post this here, i started with a scene from the middle of the timeline. But just in case i end up writing more on this timeline, i decided to create an antology series on the timeline instead of just uploading it as a one-shot.

Worst case maybe this can be an inspiration for someone who is better at writing than me.

The AU is based on the world of Equestria at War.
