->''"I have always been… different. Special. Aberrant. I possess less of the ability to control my emotions. Curiosity compels me, and not merely towards outside of the hive. Amongst our kind, lack of fine emotional control is embarrassing, but tolerated in some respects. Hunters are allowed more leeway with anger, as it bolsters offensive capability. Nursemaids to the hatchlings are encouraged to be affectionate, to ensure that the young are well fed. Scouts are driven by curiosity, the urge to see more. Gatherers… Well. Much is presumed about the gatherers. But rarely do they spend much time within the hive. My curiosity, however, was for how things work. This may seem like no crime. However, the hive runs like the gears of a clock. Our tasks are completed in the manner they were explained, and no more. One does not simply alter the schedule. And the hive has little tolerance for unimportant questions. Curiosity does not warrant concern from a drone, especially one tasked to expansion of the nest, as I was..."''
--''Idol Hooves''

''[[http://www.fimfiction.net/story/174129/the-changeling-of-the-guard The Changeling of the Guard]]'' is a ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' fanfic by [=VDrake77=]. It is the story of Idol Hooves, a very unusual [[ShapeShifter changeling]].

After being exiled from TheHive by [[GodSaveUsFromTheQueen Queen Chrysalis]] for the crime of questioning the rigid protocol of changeling society, Idol travels Equestria in search of his own identity, meeting other ponies along the way and attempting to satisfy the curiosity that got him exiled in the first place. The problem is, drone changelings like Idol aren't exactly equipped to blend in for long periods of time... and of course, his natural form would be most unwelcome among ponyfolk. Is there any place in Equestria that Idol can truly call his own?

Initially set a number of years before Luna's redemption, the author promises that the story will eventually catch up to the events of A Canterlot Wedding and beyond.
