Even while assuming a new identity, the memories of who he was before would occasionally resurface, plaguing his mind and tormenting him mercilessly.
After all this time of adventuring and discovering the man hidden beneath the monster, he is finally ready to return to his old home and make amends for all of the wrongs that his former self had committed. Unknown to him; There's more than just a few hurt feelings to make up for.

You are in for a world of fuckery if you've fallen for me. I wish you the best of luck with the hell you are welcoming into your life.
Genetic voices in your head, hers sounds a little nicer at least.
Looking forward to seeing how badly Rusty gets his arse kicked for saying hello.
Will be a short story when rainbow kills him

Threatening me with a good time ain't gonna get you anywhere but in my bed.
HOLY SHIT THIS iS REALLY GOOD I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE NEXT CHAPTER!!
Oof. Poor Rusty, he doesn't even know he has a daughter. That is only going to make it all worse. Also, how many years does this take place after Friendship is Cynical? I remember somewhere it being said that it was 5 years, but it feels more like 10-11 years.

Roughly 10 to 11
Ryan, proud American-style alcoholic, off the drink? Of course Rarity almost has a heart attack.
Hasn't been in town 10 minutes and his daughter's already siccing his mother on him, at least Rarity was cool about it till he broke her conception of reality
Damn, Nice curveball with Dash there, No discussion just WHAM!
See, this is why i like you, You've pretty much nailed the mannerisms and just added a decade's worth of pain for them to take on in their own unique way.. Really looking forward to the next part, Brilliant so far, Mate c:
moar.
more MORE!

there are a couple paragraphs that need their tenses fixed. you have this weird, slightly unholy mishmash of past and present tense. i can power through it and convert in my head present to past tense, but it's still wonky as fuck.
Damn! To be honest, on its own, the ending to the last story just wasn't good, but this...makes it complete somehow. And I'm getting that feeling, the one you only get when you know you're reading a bloody good fic.
This is so bloody good! There aren't words! Dammit man! When did you become such a brilliant writer!?!? You're a genius!
Bitchslaps always will be the fastest way to calm someone down.
Even in bed Rusty must be wondering why he's got a cold sweat going
Ohhhhhh my god i love this, Great work!!! Feel free to get some sanity back, but not too much! that stuff is bad for you.
Many Thanks, M'friend! Another brilliant chapter with such a damn tease....
I can more than guarantee you that Azure is going to do something drastic that will either ruin Rusty or make him better that much faster.
nice, now the question is...how much trouble is Azure going to cause...

this is gon, go so far sideways and I cant wait
Ok what is with that voice in Azure's head?
Is it like her inner voice, or is there actually something talking to her, because she seems to respond to it as if its a real voice?

Like father, like daughter
Oh, crap, never mind how the others will react; Rainbow's the one who's going to kill him.
Oh man I love this chapter I can't wait till the next chapter!!!
Twilight spends the entire day riling up Applejack, who in her frustration almost breaks into Rarity's house.
the old Ryan certainly left his mark.
I like how Azure expedites things by sneaking around haha. And the Big Mac reunion was super sweet even if we didn't get to see much of it.
Hot damn! Next chapter please!
Finally! Now just 10 - 20 more chapters to push the drama away and finally get into that reunited Father-Daughter sweetness!
-inside rustys head-
screaming intensifies
yay an update!
I love the contrast between Ryan's voice and his daughter's. Hers is so sweet.
Well isn't that a solid cock-shot of feelings.
Eased him into it you did not. The results will now be terrifyingly heartwarming I imagine. Or involve screaming and running.
Yeah... Alright it was worth the wee wait, Nice going, Dude! I love seeing a new chapter from you in my feed.

I bet she punches him. She is Dash and his child.
And now it truly begins. Now... HURRY THE FUCK UP WITH THE NEXT CHAPTER!!! I want to see what happens next.
Uh oh. What will happen from here, I wonder...
I started reading Freindship is Cynical a while back but stopped for reasons that arent to clear to myself as I look back, maybe it was the character, the abundance of cursing for no reason and being a straight dick (trust me, I find that shit hilarious bc of the scenarios it can be used in) but I just lost interest when Chrysalis showed up. Then I found this sequel, read it then went back and finished FiC, and GOD DAMN. I regret not pushing thru and reading it all when I had the chance bc that was a rollercoaster. I very much enjoy this sequel and eagerly await the next chapters to come. GREAT WORK!
I wasn't expecting this meeting so soon, but boy, I am glad it happened.
Oh you mother fucker! I started reading today! And no more chapters posted! I demand to see the cuddles, I see cuddles or you die in a ducking pineapple sex pit!
