Weavers of Dreams


Welcome to the internet, where all arguements are invalid because we can't shove books down anyone's throats. Have a nice day.

E

Derpy's never had her family over to Ponyville before, and no one has ever seen them or heard her talk about them before. But when her friends start to notice that she seems really nervous and, they confront her and find out that she's worried about how everyone will react when they see them.
In an attempt to reassure her, they wind up finding an orphan lost wandering the roads. The fact there's no room in the orphanage means Derpy has to house him until they can find room anywhere else. Derpy becomes more distraught when she starts to fall in love with the orphan just before her family is supposed to arrive.
Then, chaos... complete and utter, unimaginable chaos.

Ah, my. This is going to make getting Applejack to accept help look easy, isn't it?

"Could be nearing four hundred now."

Express delivery: one logistical nightmare!

Great. Now they're going to see how she got that way.......

5655487 exactly...but we best not get carried away, don't want to spoil the whole story. Plus everyone should have a backstory.

It really doesn't surprise me that Derpy's level of klutziness changed depending on the situation, certain situations can cause a person to become more focused and attentive. Life and death and other highly emotional situations can turn a "coward" into a sudden pillar of strength, or make someone who boasts about how "bad ass" they are turn into a whimpering child. Derpy is clumsy and absent minded most of the time, but she focuses when someone else's life is on the line. Fluttershy is similar, normally timid and quiet in and emergency she can be totally fearless and vocal.

Also, she's probably been on the other end of this equation......

Hmm. This is kinda depressing. Ah, well. We can only go UP from here.

an Autistic Amputee Orphan? Ok I know your going for tugging at the heart strings but this feels like your spreading the tragedy on a bit TOO thick, coupled with the metric ton of mental trauma I can't help but feel you need to dial it back on a little. I did like your explanation for Derpy's eyes and general goofiness, she suffered a lot of Brain Damage from taking those rocks to the head to protect her tummy, she's not lost any intelligence clearly but there are still "disconnects" in her brain.

5728728 Don't worry too much. We're not going to make it a tragedy, more of a triumphant learning to overcome tribulation scenario.

Still feels like all 4 at once is a little much to handle.

How has this story only got 8 likes, it should be in the hundreds with all the feels in this story

At least the dislike counter is at its proper number

Lets face it making lists and organizing this is fun for Twilight, she's probably going to have a ball helping set the reunion up.

Great. A look at Ponyville's seedy underbelly.

This last bit has made me interested. Not that I wasn't already, but I definitely am now.

Also, epic Derpy is epic.

Eh, I'm fine with a bit of a diversion for a chapter or two. Just don't have it permanently take over the story.

5888840 Done and done. This is about Derpy's family reunion and an orphaned colt, not a sci-fi space opera. We just felt we needed to get the Doctor in their somewhere.

5888895 That was my logic too, actually. The story's about Derpy, and she and the Doctor are often a package deal...

Okay, we have the great big jerk family.....now to get HER great big family to rain down on them en masse.......

Half an hour later, she was streaking through the sky after the zeppelin in a Shadowbolt costume and wearing an eye patch.

What :rainbowhuh:

7066736 Really need to get back to this story at some point :trixieshiftleft:
