Well, Chrysalis is a hive creature and I would tend to think that she consequently values her hive as much as her personal glory, if not more (she sure isn't the selfless type but she's always plotting to feed her changelings, to cite only that part).

Tirek seems to be the opposite, backstabbing his "trustful friend" and betraying his brother to grow his own power.

Thus, I would believe Chrysalis and Tirek would despise each other for their differences. They could certainly keep their opinions to themselves and team up if they saw an opportunity to take advantage of a situation but, considering the kind of conflicts Chrysalis and Sombra got into in The Siege of the Crystal Empire, I can only imagine it would eventually go worse with Tirek.

As for a true romantic shipping with Chrysalis, I say whatever floats your boat. It's fanon anyway, right? Still, I would think Chrysalis might rather ship with a character who wouldn't challenge her authority (again The Siege of the Crystal Empire provides an example of how that goes) and, most importantly, someone who would manage to emotionally reach her through her cold hardened chitin carapace, either by shocking her, surprising her or moving her...

In The Return of Queen Chrysalis, a one-sided Chrysalis x Twilight Sparkle shipping of a sort almost got real over a simple "spell casting demonstration".

Right now, I feel the only character who might have the power and mindset to "reach out" to Chrysalis would be Cadance.
