!! Story's Summary from [=FimFiction=]:

->Gatekeepers are a strange bunch. They always come in pairs, one Equa, the pony world, and one on Earth, the human world. They live in each other’s minds, share their dreams, and take on each other’s characteristics – magic included. Most importantly, they are called ‘Gatekeepers’ for a reason; each pair controls a set of portals that bridge the gap between the worlds.

->But with each Gatekeeper comes a new challenge for both worlds. The first brought magic to Earth and gave the changelings a taste for pony flesh. The second shattered Earth’s sky and gave a princess clarity. The third brought the first glimpse of Oblivion, the devourer of all reality…

->William Ross was a normal high school student; emphasis on was. Now, he’s the first Gatekeeper, and his partner is none other than Queen Chrysalis. With his body now warped beyond recognition and his mind trying to reconcile his old life and his new identity as Alvarium Rex, king and father of the changeling race, William struggles with the challenges of everyday life colliding with the supernatural.

->For a while, things seemed to be calming down. Then the second Gatekeeper appeared, then the third, the fourth, and so on. Soon, a whole cast of characters have their counterparts marching around on a world that is not quite ready for magic yet. Tensions mount and tempers boil; where will he be when it all erupts?

----

* DeathByFallingOver: See AccidentalMurder above.

* {{Lust}}: Changelings in general are big fans, since this is a quick substitute for love.

* TranshumanTreachery: Most converted changelings are this way, though Slagteri and Taruke take it UpToEleven. However, the latter case suffered from MindRape, which made him that way.

Eventually, William[[note]] who changes his name to [[MeaningfulName Alvarium Rex]][[/note]] is [[ShapeShifting transformed]] into a [[HiveQueen royal]] [[VoluntaryShapeShifting changeling]] capable of [[TeleportersAndTransporters transporting matter]] and opening [[ThinkingUpPortals portals]] to Chrysalis's universe.

* MushroomSamba: Oddly, Candy Hearts do this to changelings as a combination of Weed and LSD. It also makes them continiously excrete binding gel and temporarily restores their ability to taste normal food[[note]] much to their delight[[/note]].

* ShapeShifting: The changelings and any Gatekeeper, though the latter goes through a single, permanent transformation.

* TeleportersAndTransporters: With a snap of their fingers, any Gatekeeper can teleport matter to their counterpart.

* VoluntaryShapeShifting: The changelings. This is the primary power of their specie.

Has since been unofficially canceled as {{Tropers/wille179}} has left the fandom

Currently on hiatus.

* DeadManSwitch: The anti-changeling movement has ''twelve of them.'' One eventually does go off.

** Averted the next chapter: all of the cocooned humans are converted to stop a series of [[DeadManSwitch dead man switches]] from going off. It's not done soon enough.

* MisterSeahorse: Since changelings are biologically capable of holding both reproductive roles, any changelings that identify as male qualify[[note]] the main character included[[/note]].

'''''[[http://www.fimfiction.net/story/101408/black-queen-red-king Black Queen, Red King]]''''' is a ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' fan fiction story by [[http://www.fimfiction.net/user/wille179 wille179]][[note]] who is also a troper[[/note]].

* HiveMind: Each changeling hive has its own mental network.
** Most of the time, it acts like a PsychicLink, but it can be turned up all the way to full unity and control.

* HorrorHunger: Downplayed due to a lack of emphasis on the ''horror'' part. The list of horrifying things Rex has eaten (and enjoyed) include:
*** (True)Love/Lust/Happiness[[note]] not eating emotions causes heart failure in changelings[[/note]]
*** Human flesh
*** Other changelings (His own subjects, though this was in a funeral for their murders; the changelings eat their own dead.)
*** Human souls
** However, he is not so much upset about his appetite as what his (human) daughter would think of him if she knew.
* IHaveManyNames: Rex has ''sixty'' different false ID's, several of which are opposite genders.
* ImHavingSoulPains: John Smith suffers from this right before his soul is [[spoiler: crushed to death and consumed by Rex.]]

* ResurrectiveImmortality: Rex, Chrysalis, and all [[PhysicalGod physical gods]].
** However, the mechanism behind the resurrection is different for each. Rex and Chrysalis have to climb their way back from the afterlive, while the [[PhysicalGod physical gods]] just don't stay dead.

* ShapeshifterBaggage: The changelings can shrink down to the size of flies or grow to the size of a large man.
** WordOfGod handwaves this by saying that the false bodies are magical constructs with simulated mass.

* SevenDeadlySins: Many characters exhibit some of the sins.
** {{Greed}}: Rex[[note]] who spends time as a bank robber[[/note]] and Taruke[[note]] the hive's accountant[[/note]], the most economically minded of the hive.
** {{Pride}}: Taruke is extreamly prideful of his contributions to the hive and that his mind was warped by Rex[[note]] he considers it a blessing[[/note]]
** [[VillainousGlutton Gluttony]]: Rex. This overlaps with lust due to the way [[EmotionEater changelings feed]].
** {{Lust}}: Changelings in general, since this is a quick substitute for love.
** [[UnstoppableRage Wrath]]: [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Slagteri]], who hates and murders humans, and Catherine who - like the other changeling hunters - [[ThePowerOfHate weaponizes wrath and hatred]] to burn changelings and stave off the [[EmotionEater draining effect of changelings]].

** ImAHumanitarian: The changelings eat their own dead. It is a decision based on practicality, as it [[EatTheEvidence eliminates the risk of the body being found later]].

* [[TranshumanTreachery Transhuman/Transpony Treachery]]: Most converted changelings are this way, though Slagteri and Taruke take it UpToEleven. However, the latter case suffered from MindRape, which made him that way.

* WingedHumanoid: Catherine and Selene, who both grew wings.
** Gilda, griffin that turned humanoid, also applies.

* ArtifactOfAttraction: Anything that has the Want-It, Need-It spell cast on it. Inverted: the Notice-Me-Not spell.

The thing is, he's not the only human to start pairing up with creatures in the other world, and not every human is as interested as he is at [[{{Masquerade}} upholding the masquerade.]] And then there's [[OmnicidalManiac Oblivion...]][[note]] who has been hinted at, but yet to be seen[[/note]]

** [[PlanetEater Oblivion]] can erase all evidence of its existence, including memory. It's also the BigBad.

* EldritchAbomination: There are at least six of them named, each vaguely described at best. They are [[spoiler: Rex and Chrysalis's souls]], [[spoiler: the mouth of Death/Chaos]], [[spoiler:the darkness]], [[spoiler:Scythirraax]], and[[spoiler: [[PlanetEater Oblivion]]]].

* EldritchAbomination: There are at least three of them, each vaguely described at best. They are [[spoiler: Rex and Chrysalis's souls]] and [[spoiler: the mouth of Death/Chaos.]]

* LotusEaterMachine: Changeling venom paralyses its victims and forces them to hallucinate visions of the people they love, often erotic visions. It is the emotional equivalent of digestive enzymes.
