Amidst the snowy forest, a black creature trudges through the thick snow.  Exiled from the nest, the lone changeling wanders aimlessly between the large oaks.  A failed recon mission resulted in this one's removal, never to hear the queen's commands again.  Raised to be nothing but a sacrificial soldier, it continues on, head hanging low without a drop of emotion to feed off of.  Its porous legs shiver from the unforgiving weather as it smells a hint of happiness in the distance.  The changeling's eyes glitter with hope as it quickens its pace to the source of nourishment.  It reaches the end of the forest, revealing a cozy cottage, light radiating from its solitary front window.  Carefully making its way to the front of the home, it peers into the humble abode.
 
        “Oh my, the weather team sure have outdone themselves this year.”  Sipping a hot cup of chocolate milk, Fluttershy wraps herself in a thick blanket as her fireplace roars with heat.  She settles deep into her plush sofa, her soft pink hair slowly creeping over her face as a natural sleeping mask.  With all the animals asleep in hibernation, Fluttershy has enjoyed time alone to rest from her busy lifestyle.  Managing many creatures as a job may be a dream, but burn out is the enemy of many ponies, especially when her part time job involves saving Equestria.  Winter is the perfect time for the meek little pegasus to set aside time for herself.  As sleep dances on her eyelids, a soft rapping noise comes from her door, shaking her awake.
 
        “Coming!  Whoever could be here at such an hour...”  As she opens the door, a strong gust throws a lone figure into the dry home.  Covered in the white snow, Fluttershy slams the door closed as she attends to the surprise visitor.  Uncovering the equine-like creature with a few passes of her hoof, the yellow pony gasps in surprise as she backs up.  The changeling looks up at her with fatigued eyes, unable to move from its spot.  Its ebony body sparkled with green energy, but dissipated immediately as its transformation spell fails with each weak attempt.  It lays in surrender as the warmth from the fireplace melts the snow that dotted its body.  Seeing a creature in distress, Fluttershy takes the limp changling in her hooves and cradles it in the bend of her forelegs.
 
        “You poor thing, what are you doing here in this weather?  Don't you have a home to go to?”  The loving pony's words fall on deaf ears as the changling absorbs the caring nature of Fluttershy.  The bits of emotion radiating off this pony was good, but it desired more.  Much more.  Having starved for many days before this encounter, the insect-like pony needed to indulge more in this only source of food.  Its shimmering blue eyes drift down to the pegasus' heart, where it sensed the strongest source of emotion.  Joy, fear, excitement, anger, optimism and so much more.  But the absolute strongest emotion it tasted within this one was love.  Sheer, boundless love.  The more the changeling was carried by Fluttershy, the more it craved to feed from the very source.  With the little power it gained, it sends a pang of hunger to the hospitable pony.
 
        “You really ought to... oh... dear...”  Her words trail of as a sudden pang of hunger invades her mind.  An eerie green glow comes from the dark creature she held as her stomach rumbled.  The demand to be filled was overpowering as her eyes darted back and forth for a meal.  Without anything edible in the immediate vicinity, Fluttershy stares at live creature she held as it gave off an irresistible odor.  The scent was hypnotizing as her eyes began to glow a vivid ruby tinge.  Her tongue hangs out, dripping with slobber as a primal hunger overtakes the passive pony.  Her breaths grow ragged as the changling only moves its head closer, like a moth to a flame.  The pegasus' mouth waters in anticipation as the need to devour the vulnerable prey grows stronger with every second.  Her jaw slowly unhinges as the moist cavern opens itself wider to the starved changling.  Seeing victory in its hunger spell, it lays its smooth head against the awaiting tongue of the dazed pegasus, immediately triggering Fluttershy to consume.
 
        Her dripping maw closes around the large head of the changling, suckling at the smooth round exterior.  Despite the chitinous nature of its skin, the black hide was very malleable and lined with an exotic sweet taste.  Fluttershy moaned at the myriad of flavors that stroked against her tongue while the silky smooth dome easily made its way into her stretched throat.  She inhaled deeply, pulling the limp body further into her needy body.  Drool overflowed from the yellow pony's lips as she the craving to be full possessed every gulp she took.  Her cheeks pinned the creature's front legs from within, making escape anything but possible for it.  But, it did not struggle.
 
        The sheer plethora of emotions the changling experienced within the pony was intoxicating.  The more the fleshy, pulsing walls gripped its body, the stronger the savory feelings grew.  Running on empty for so long in a wintry forest, this moment was nothing short of unbelievable bliss.  While the stomach grumbled ominously below, the changling cared not.  Without a hive to return to, it can only live in the present, knowing it had no future.  It wiggles gleefully in its cramped confines as the entrance to the stomach openly greets it.  The creature snakes its way in further, assisted by the undulating muscles of Fluttershy's digestive track.  The sheer heat of the stomach was accompanied by another wave of raw passion.  The need, satisfaction and afterglow of the pony's meal filled the changling's own belly with sustenance as its body settles into the slimy prison.  It lays spiritless against the convulsing organ, soaking in both the seeping acids and the pony's satisfaction in a hardy meal.
 
        Fluttershy lays on her sofa, supporting the heavy weight of the two beings.  Her pants were labored, still letting her belly settle with the squirming creature within.  She lets off a few feminine burps, displacing any unneeded air within her.  Her eyes flicker back to a calm cyan as she shakes off the weak spell from the crafty creature.  Each contract of her stomach made Fluttershy cringe in worry, knowing what came next for the helpless creature.  The yellow pegasus begins to tear up as a curious sound overcame the loud rumbling of her stomach's hunger.  Chirping came from the captured changling.  Not just any chirping, but cheery chirping came from the depths of her body.  Her intuition told her that it desired to be with her, even as her middle threatened to crush its weak form.  Without the energy to communicate with it, Fluttershy falls fast asleep.
 
        Feeling the soft snores of the pegasus, the changling sighs among the chaos of the bubbling cauldron it laid in.  The firm, supple walls crushed its body as it felt its thick carapace crack under the pressure, inviting the soupy mixture into its exposed body.  The digestive solution bubbled and foamed around it as a satisfied smirk crosses its lips.  With its body shielded from the frozen weather and its belly filled to the brim, nothing mattered to it.  Even as the overwhelming pressure overtakes its body, its last meal dulled the pain of the ruthless digestive process.
 
        With a yawn, Fluttershy awakens to the rising sun crawling into her living room.  She looks around for any evidence for last night's guest.  Unfortunately, her lumpy paunch and padded body was more than enough to convince her that it wasn't a dream.  Fluttershy did not mourn for it though, and not because it was an enemy of Equestria, but because it seemed so joyous in its final moments.  Even as she lost consciousness, she almost felt gratitude in its words.  Rising from the sofa, she quickly glances at herself, noting the extra weight that wrapped itself around her limbs.
 
        “Well... looks like I'll be laying off those midnight snacks for a while...”
