There was no such thing as Bronytown. As it turned out, Jacob was wrong on many of his predictions. They weren’t shipped out to one of the refugee towns. He hadn’t been the only one to turn Luna down, either. Every single one of them but Elise had wanted time to recover. Some would join the fray again when that time was over… but by then, the very worst of the war would probably be resolved, for better or worse. Instead of being sent to some distant town where they wouldn’t bother natives, they had…-

Some years later…Magpie walked alone through the forest, her helmet clicking lightly against her air-armor with every step. With such strides in lightness and efficiency, it barely felt much heavier than an oversized jacket. It helped that her armor was built for a crystal pony, and held only enough air for her to answer radio messages, without any of the complex tanks or scrubbers that other ponies relied on.Her heavy saddlebags clinked together with every step, but she barely noticed the weight. Being…-

It wasn't just the Elements of Harmony that mourned that day. In a nation like Equestria, Dirge's powerful spell constituted more murders than had been seen in decades. Though Twilight had worked herself to the bone, though Discord had searched far and wide for the ingredients to his time-travel spell, nothing had been enough. The five cursed ponies (and one griffon) all died exactly as the awful spell promised.With the whole nation watching, Celestia declared a national holiday of remembrance forevermore.…-

Some time passed. There were reunions, and adventures, and many other things besides. Some questions went unanswered—Flynn could never know, after all, if he were indeed the genuine article of himself, or some imitation spawned at the moment of his creation. He knew only that he felt like he was the original, and that was enough.Some time passed, and he was aware only dimly of affairs outside his world. There were many other worlds within Celestia’s domain, and only one that was not. In time, remaining…-

A few years later...Kara's graduation was almost perfect.Parents and well-wishers filled the entire stadium, so thick she couldn't even identify where her parents were sitting. But even if she couldn't see them, they'd be able to see her, up near the front of the class wearing gold robes and with every extra sash the school offered. She understood, at least on an emotional level, that the ceremony was only the formality that came at the end of all her hard work. The spot waiting for her at Berkley's…-

Rebuild civilization on the way 58% Much could be said for the Equestria that Twilight and her friends built as the Canterlot soared off towards the promise of a distant Flotilla. At first they had regular communication with their robotic comrades. Twilight used that opportunity to interview Node on every subject relevant to their integration with the Flotilla, if and when they ever reached them. As the days turned to weeks and then to months, messages passed less and less frequently, until all they…-

The party was winding down by the time Gray Vigil returned, the festivities having settled right along with the sun. It was too cold after dark for his coat to keep him comfortable, one more painful reminder of what he had given up by staying a pony. Charles was grateful there had been nothing permanent in the promises he had made to King Richard. The moment being biological was too much for him, he could always return to the Tower. And if being alive proved less overwhelming than he expected? The Steel…-

Getting back together with Forerunner was a little harder than just touching a teleport pad and hoping for the best. But wandering through a nation recovering from war was not even the third hardest thing Sarah had ever done. She might not have been able to change—at first—but they had time to practice, time to hide, and in the end everypony was talking about Motherlode so it wasn’t hard to get there.The escaped broken-horn pony had even gone there, or so she’d said. “You owe me now,” she’d…-

Counsel waited for Olive’s arrival with undirected nervous energy burning at his chest. It had been a long time since he’d seen Earth in that much fidelity, and even what he’d seen wasn’t pleasant. He couldn’t help but feel sympathy for poor Olive, who had poured her whole heart and soul into that truck, only to watch it get destroyed around her.But in the grand scheme, it wouldn’t matter for much longer. She had made the right choice. She was coming to Equestria.“Why are you so worried?”…-

In many ways Second Chance's return to Ponyville was completely predictable. Despite the fact that neither she nor Twilight had made any mention of the day they would be returning, Pinkie Pie had either managed to obtain restricted information or kept a surprise party on standby.But before all of that was a trip from the train station up to Sweet Apple Acres, to return Apple Bloom to her family. Chance couldn’t help but giggle at the way Apple Bloom had taken specific care that no trace of fabric hung…-
