Despite what legends may say, the rise and fall of Nightmare Moon was not decided in a single evening, but over a long year of bitter war between the forces pony sisters. During this time, many stallions were recruited from their homes to fuel the war effort. While they were away, the most common form of communication between the soldiers and their families were letters, sent home only on rare occasions. As a result, mail day was one of the most important times to the home-bound ponies. This is the story of those silent few who manage the home-front.
So... Do we get told why Nightmare Moon got defeated so easily when she was freed in this story? Or why she tried to scare the Mane Six off instead of, you know, just killing them? (Sorry, it's just that scene was DUMB!)
I know this story is done but I kind of want to see a follow up from cobalt and feathered ink growing up maybe in their perspective it would be interesting to see how cobalt integrates into the everyday pony life after the war and how feathered ink deals with what would undoubtedly be some negative bias towards his new adopted brother but nonetheless I loved this story and look forward to reading more of your works in kind of sad I'm only finding out about your works now
