*Please read whole description first, before starting the stories. Thank you!*
After Chrysalis is defeated, Equestria is rebuilt. Ponies are mourned, new friendships are bonded, and unexpected relationships blossom. These are short stories, a peek into life after the changeling war. They explore new characters and the relationships created in the "Reception Trilogy".
While it is not completely mandatory to have read the trilogy in order to read these stories, it is wise, so that some of the relationships or character personalities make sense. (Link to Part 1 of the trilogy: http://www.fimfiction.net/story/51231/the-receptions-been-canceled )
These stories are not linked together, aside that they take place in the aftermath of the changeling war and in the world I created during that trilogy, so there is no main arc to them, but there may be mini-story arcs across a few of them. The stories may not appear necessarily in chronological order of how much time has passed since Chrysalis was defeated.
It's...uhm...nice.
(this emoticon really fits now). Can't wait for more!
At least when nice means: it's freaking amazing. The reception left a lot of questions unanswered and it's cool to see there will be answers. And FlutterMac I always liked FlutterMac, somehow it fits. But now I want to know what happened between BigMac and Cheerilee.
And I know already that there will be many manly tears when the chapter about the CMC and them coping with Scoot's dead is coming
This is a great start to the stories.
Also nice hint to Babs Seed, as I cannot wait to see how you'll introduced her in to these stories.
So please do keep up the good work.
i totally forgot that zecora sacrificed her life to save her friends. i can't wait to see all the post stories.
even though Silver spoon and Spitfire didn't appear in the reception stories i was wondering if they will be making appearances in any of the post reception stories.?
i literally squeeled at the end when Fluttershy said "Eeeyup,". I wonder which of the Flim Flam bros Applejack was talking too. I also like the mention of Babs Seed, it is a shame that she never got a chance to meet Scootaloo. i'm sure that i will shed tears when you cover scootaloos chapter

Nothing will probably happen between Big Mac and Cheerilee, since they were always just friends to begin with. At least, that's always been my feeling and understanding.
1794579
That's what I also thought but the episode suggested there was more between them.
1794607
Mmmmm, I don't really think it did, but everyone will have a different perspective on how they saw it
I forgot Zecora died. Now I'm sad again
1794806
well another story of yours for me to follow
1794884
you sly pony, you
1794973
I like this. I wish there was a "like" button like on FB.
1794978
Who, me?
1795046
yes you
even though Silver Spoon and Spitfire didn't show up in the reception trilogy, will they have chapters in the post series?
1795468
Mmmm, I'm not entirely sure. Maybe. They might not have their own stories, but they may appear in the background of stories. The stories are mostly going to focus on the ponies seen battling in the war during the trilogy. It'll mostly be Mane 6 stories, but I might have a Derpy one planned too
1795516 that's cool, if i may make a suggestion if you were to have silverspoon and Diamond tiara as background ponies, then they could appear in the CMC episode covering scoots funeral
So... will there be a chapter of apologies, like Darth Link's Post Nuptials? All this deads could have been avoided if anyone had listened to Twilight's warning.
1795985
Hmmm, that's an interesting question and a good suggestion! I hadn't really thought of that, but now I will keep in in mind when I write Twilight's short story!
1795533
Now that does seem like a good idea or at least have Diamond Tiara say something nice to Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle since they lost their good friend.
1796840 or diamond and silver spoon say something mean and applebloom and sweetie belle punch them out lol
Aww, this is pretty nice of RD to do.
You did great. I dont like that you killed her off but this is very nice. well done.
Beautiful just plain beautiful.
A truly great way for Rainbow Dash to honor Scootaloo.
Now I wonder whether Applebloom and Sweetie Belle were on hand to help as well ?
Still, this is a wonderful chapter that brought me to tears...almost.
This truly was a great update and worth the wait. When you said Scootaloo played a role in this story, you weren't kidding.
oh i do hope soarin and spitfire were okay after the caves. especially spitfire, she is pretty cute
okay now about scootaloo's chapter..........i have to tell you that i had to stop reading this chapter twice. as i am a fan of the filly pegasus. but i also say you did her funeral chapter justice.
Just a short story for Derpy!
Oh, dear. I hope things improve for her.
1890388
It's implied that they have. by calling Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy her new friends :)
As now I feel sad for Derpy.
I mean she shouldn't have to suffer something like this, but at least she has friends that can understand her problems right now and can be there for her.
Nice update as I cannot wait to see who you'll spotlight next.
1890388
Ah. That is kinda nice. Too bad it took a war and the loss of her sister to get her there, though.
my thoughts and prayers go out for you Derpy, it would be nice if one day they could find muffins body if only to give Derpy some peace of mind
Well, at least some good came out of this.
Quick question about this chapter...what about the Zap apple jam and Zap apple season ?
Surely the Apple family has a plan for that now that Granny Smith's gone ?
Nice idea connecting this chapter with the Fluttershy chapter.
Also with Babs Seed added into this chapter, it makes me wonder whether or not the CMC will get their own chapter or their own character chapter, in a way for Applebloom and Sweetie Belle to say good-bye to Scootaloo , deal with the aftermath of the war, and induct Babs into the group, if she's willing.
Great update as each of these tales are worth the wait.
Plus I wonder if Big Mac will get his own chapter, despite his quiet character ?
1900356
Zap apple season is coming soon, that's all that was mentioned. Since Apple Bloom was taught what to do before Granny Smith died, she'll probably take it over.
Great update to the story as you've captured Pinkie's character very well. Just like the chapter itself, Pinkie Pie can be very random at times as well.
Truly an emotional and engaging chapter to read about, as it spotlights Pinkie reconnecting with her old family and bonding her old family with her new "Family" in the Cakes. Truly, this chapter touch my heartstrings a bit given its emotional background.
However, this chapter does make me question whatever happen to the pets of the Mane 6 ?
Especially the likes of Tank and Winona, as an appearance or two by them would have made the Rainbow Dash and Applejack Chapters more emotional than ever.
So nice update, although I have to also question whether or not Big Mac will gain his own tale in this storyline of yours ?
Not only would the chapter be spotlighting his new romance with Fluttershy, but also showing us how Big Mac deals with the day to day basis, in the aftermath of Granny Smith's death.
Still, Please do keep up the good work upon such a great storyline series like this one as each new chapter is worth the wait to read.
I feel stupid that I never noticed before. The Cakes and the Pie's. Both are Pinkie's 'family'.
Just a short story for Rarity
Aw, that is kind of nice way to let Rarity have her own happy ending, but it does make me question...what about Spike ?
I mean will there be a chapter dedicated to Spike and explain his capture during the invasion and what he plans to do in the aftermath of the invasion ?
Also once again, I ask you whether or not will the be a chapter or two dedicated to the fillies of the story or at least a chapter focus on the CMC as a whole group ?
I must say I am impress with how you redeemed Flim and Flam in this triology storyline and its aftermath, truly showing that even the cunning ponies can change for the better in the aftermath of a great disaster.
Once again you written another great update to the aftermath of the Reception storyline. Please do keep up the good work upon such a grand tale liek this one.
spike will certainly not like this turn of events.
I'm not a "Sparity" fan, so Spike will just have to get over it, lol.

Now I feel both sad and curious as of what are your plans for Spike in the Post-Reception world ?
I hope this gets you a bit inspired to continue on this series of tales or at least do a new one.
I was just re reading a few chapters from this 4 part mini series, and as i said before it is easily in the top 3 fav series on this site for me. makes me wish you'd come back, hope you are doing well SM
