This story is a sequel to Forgiveness Pending
This is the continuing story of the 'Pending' universe as it slowly evolves. Watch the lives established in both Memory Pending and Forgiveness Pending continue as life settles back down into a far more normal pace. Well, normal relative to Equus, anyway. Maybe.
It's more a collection of chapters than a chronological story, and they may not always be in order. It's also officially listed as alternate universe now due to quite a few differences from normal canon.
It will be updated sporadically as I get inspiration for new chapters, and probably never be officially 'completed', hence the title. Anything heavily mature will still be censored and instead released uncut in Censorship Pending.

Best... present... EVER!!!
This is the best Christmas in my life
BEST CHRISTMAS EVER!!!
Just last week I was wondering if there is going to be more of this.
And I see 3 digits for chapter numbers.
If the chapters are going to be released out of order, are the numbers going to reflect that? ie, are we going to see chapters released like 623, 179, 484 and 902?
Also, whooo! More Pending!
oh gosh, oh gosh, oh my gosh. ohmygoshohmygoshohmygoshohmygoshohmygoshohmygoshohmygosh
IT'S BACK. YES! YEEEEEEESSS!!! now that i've stopped fangirling (im a guy) it is time to dig into this. best christmas gift. thank you
Three digit chapter numbering? Sheesh, even at a ludicrously unlikely one a week rate, you'll be able to string this along for years and not hit the end. Your chapter sizes being what they are, of course, a more reasonable--albeit optimistic--rate of one month will never see the 1/10 milestone reached, lol.
Still plenty of adventure left to go around, I see.
Merry Christmas Kiroberos!
Can't wait to read this.
Thank you Kiroberos!
Best present I've gotten in years!
What I want to know is . . . Who would downvote this? Seriously, the only personality type that springs to mind is the "tldr" kind. But if you don't like to read, why are you A: on this site at all, and B: opening a story that has chapters longer than you are comfortable with?
More importantly, Thank You, Kiroberos. I truly love the world you have created with these novels you have written. I actually read everything you have posted here in 68 hours (that is sequential, not reading hours, although I did take the opportunity provided to finally clock my average reading speed). The only time in my life I actually enjoyed my chronic insomnia. Aside from the (mostly) single pony viewpoint, I have to put you up there with the late Robert Jordan for skill in interpersonal conflict, and relationship description. With your writing, I don't even have to turn on the 'suspension of disbelief device'.
You have made my, and apparently many others, holiday season.

Got to agree with this statement, nice to see that you are alive and well and writing, but mostly alive and well.
You would drop something like this on Christmas Day. I've been anticipating this so much.
It already looks just as fantastic as the other stories, and I can't wait to see how it develops.
You rock! Woho!
I have not the words to fully capture my delight!
Seems like this starts before the epilogue of the last story, given Shy's condition. Fully excited for this story and future additions.
Thank you, it was a nice surprise and your fics with memory pending was the very first fic that ever drew me in and I have been reading them ever since. Thank you for this present from nowhere and I hope you had a happy holiday as well.
Huh, nice to see another look into this universe. I think I'm gonna like this more slice of life style.
Oh, seeing this story come up on the featured story list put a big smile on my face. I've always enjoyed stories that featured good, fleshed out character's interacting with each other.
Looking forward to the ride!
Dude, thank you!
I was hoping the was a new one by you, and I'm happy it is.
Welcome back doc great 1st chapter. Cant wait for more!!!
THIS IS THE BEST CHRISTMAS EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!
THERE ARE NO WORDS TO EXPRESS MY DELIGHT
I read this right after finishing re-reading Memory and Forgiveness Pending. They were two of the first MLP stories I ever read, and to this day, still my favorite. I AM SO
EEEEEEXCIIIIIIIITEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for the new chapters.
Hope you had a quiet holiday period.
Next up. Mender learns to cook.
It's been so long since I've read the last two, and man they were a great ride.
Wellp... let's go for one more adventure.
Ugh half my follows seem to have been unfollowed, or I'd have read this sooner. I'm already liking this one, and can't wait to see more.
*pokes the Kiro* Any new inspiration lately?
i love this story and i hope the next chapter be up soon^^
Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! I've been hoping you'd continue the story!!!! Ooooh, I can't wait to see what young have planned for this one ^.^ Thank you!!!!!
8116389 same here. I only just noticed this story is a thing. Man it's a kick in the teeth to see he hasn't logged in since posting it
8239883
Yeah I hope he's doing ok
Well, I know you're probably not going to see this, since you haven't logged on in 6 months but I really hope you're okay. This series is, without a doubt, my singular favorite book series, fanfic or otherwise, and you are an amazing person for even being able to write something this great.
Ahh... incomplete. This was such an excellent piece of work too...
A very ironic title to a story that might not get an update for a while.
Are you still working on this?
Ha...bu....wha.....OH COME ON! Don’t tell me this stories dead this was such a damn good series an I come to this one with a single chapter....GAH WHY MUST YA FORSAKE ME SO LITITURE GODS!
Anyone got a spare counor I can commandeer to cry in?
Still one of the best stories in its genre.
would love to see this continued
Please tell me this is not dead please

Quite frankly. I think they did well.
It may never update, I can't say for certain.
With this in mind, I don't think they need to.
Their story was lovely, the sequel as well.
Another chapter would be nice.
I don't think it is needed, though.
They've made their story, and ended it.
Anything beyond is what some would leave to the imagination.
I think this is nice. The name of this story was probably not meant to have the meaning I see it for, but it feels so perfect to an ending.
I think they did a lovely job on this story.
I found this comment while preparing to reread from the beginning again.
I think it would be nice to see a new chapter, but overall, I think it's beautiful like it is in a way that a new chapter would disrupt.
Afterall, like the description says:
The story will "probably never be officially completed".
Sincerely,
Me.
is the writer still alive?

i love to say yes but one from some net looking has no pip from them so i'm thinking of them being not alive at this point and hoping i'm not right on that.
