This story is a sequel to The Pieces Lie Where They Fell
Second in the Pieces-verse. The new Bearers have won the day, but the war is not over. Now, even as they and others deal with the aftermath of their victory and complications old and new in their respective lives, a dangerous new threat to Equestria lurks, awaiting for the right moment to strike.
This is again being co-written by Anon and myself, so any credit given should be to the both of us.
