Just because the episode is over and the end credits have rolled, that doesn't mean it's the end of the story.

This is a collection of postscript scenes, things I personally feel would have (or should have) happened following the events of each episode of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.

Inspired by the "Letters" style stories and "Sugarcoat Interferes in Pony History."

(Please note: I'm not writing these in any particular order; when a new postscript is added, it will be published in proper episode order, so don't always assume the latest chapter is the last one on the list!)

It was supposed to be an easy delve. In, explore, and out.

Instead Daring Do finds herself wandering through an endless corridor, wishing for nothing more than to see the sky once more. And when she reaches the end of the maze, she discovers something waiting for her that hasn't felt the sun for a long, long time. Something very lonely.

And hungry.

Oriole has a problem. She can't stop eating stallions.

Rarity has a problem. Her new friend can't stop eating stallions.

Twilight Sparkle has a problem. A stallion-eating monster has moved into her town.

Spike's just glad he's not a stallion.

Drinking the serum is an extremely difficult choice, but at least you know it will turn you into a pony.

Right?

(A satire of, and salute to, the genre that once couldn't be stopped.)

Twilight Sparkle. Magical prodigy. Personal student of Princess Celestia. Bearer of the Element of Magic. Princess of Friendship. Hers is easily one of the greatest destinies in Equestria.

Yes. Definitely. All predetermined. It certainly had nothing to do with any incidents she had early in her personal lessons from Celestia, nor any potent magic the Princess of the Sun kept hidden in plain sight. That would be ridiculous.

There's a man who works at my job in the basement.

He says his name is Derek. Not many people like Derek. People say he's weird and tends to lie. Derek says he was tricked and isn't supposed to be here at all.

He also says he used to be the Chaos King back home.

And here I just wish he'd stop screwing around with the coffee in the breakroom.

Sunset Shimmer weathered the storm. She returned from the darkest depths, and now she has good friends. People like her.

If I haven't sunk too far myself… maybe she'll help me. Then I can help Sonata and Aria.

Please, Sunset.

Thanks to Present Perfect for his help.

A pair of sequels, of sorts, are posted here and here.

It's official. Twilight Sparkle is dead.

Better luck next time, I guess.

She really, really is.

And Twilight has to deal with it.

Two magical prodigies cast in Twilight's shadow stumble about in somepony else's story and try to find meaning in their lives.

Which is in itself an absurdist and existentialist parody of Hamlet.
