Ooooh heck yeah, it's back baybeee! Can't read it just yet since I'm engrossed into another story at the moment, but I'm definitely reading this immediately after!

No rush, I have 70+ chapters to upload! And a few more to write, epilogue wise. But the ending is solidified; just got to do some editing work now.

10993323
Oh boy, so we're in for a definite treat eh? This is gonna be good, looking forward to it, mate.

Quick note for the author: You may want to add a chapter to Inertia, simply to say that this sequel exists. I stumbled across this sequel through my feed, and almost ignored it as the name wasn't familiar. Had I realized it was a sequel to a story I enjoyed, I would have jumped on it immediately.

10993559
Oh, sorry! I'll do just that.

I was thinking of typing up a quick, short chapter to tack on to Inertia, and this gives me reason to. Thanks a million.

He placed a gentle peck on her hips, happy to have such a warm bundle to wake up to. “I missed you too, my doting Princess. But I think it’s time to wake up. Did you sleep well?”

Unless there's a lot of sexy time going on that you didn't write, this word should be LIPS.

I have two editors, one of which spent several days going over each chapter individually - and still, one or two errors will sneak through the cracks.

GG, no re. Fixed it, though.

Awesome story. loving everything you've written so far - minus a single misspelled word. :twilightsmile: Looking forward to the next chapters, but I must ask - why is the story marked as complete, when it clearly isn't? Or are you going to post the rest of the chapters under a new story?

10994098
It's complete because I have ALL of the chapters written, but, I was told not to upload them all at once - otherwise it'll never have any attention directed towards it.

That, and my editor (Brony1337) wants to look over a few dozen more before I upload them all. Trust me. I want to upload them. I ticked complete because I want people to know that EVERYTHING is written for it.

You keep posting chapters like Vee drinks her coffee, and you keep us all hooked. Nice job so far!

10995167
Well, nearly every chapter is done, but really, I should just content dump up to my editor's completed chapters.

But thanks. :3c

I've binged your two stories in a matter of days, keep up the great work! Can't wait to see what you have in store!

And here. We. Go. So far a really good prologue, very well written and gave just enough info to refresh my memory of what happened in the previous story.

“Arin, I will assist Sir Vapor Cloud if you bring me on this… ‘date’, as it has been worded. I am envious of Luna and the happiness she can attain from your presence. It has been three years, and we hold much too much relevance in our lives for me to… ‘choose’ anypony else.”

Leave it to Umbra to do something like that lol ah priceless.

Uh oh, they're catching on.... not good, not good at all

It's already finished on my end, I just need to edit the last 25 chapters (out of 90) and have my editors give a passover on what I have left.

From there, I just have epilogue writing - which I'll slow down for, 'cause I did all of this in around... 45 days?

Imagine my surprise and pleasure when a story series I binged in two days is updated the day after - not just once, but FOUR times

10997262
Pfft, I could upload all of the unedited chapters now, if you'd like. Or, you can PM me, and I can just add you to the list.

10997314
I am seriously tempted to get on that list, but at the same time, I've really enjoyed the rate I'm going.


How's about this, let me ask you a question;


Should I expect an update very often (like today) or is the number of uploads in the last few days not normal for your stories?

10997328
I typically write the majority of my stories all at once, but we're about to hit a wall where my editor wants me to stop so they can finish editing 30 more chapters.

And I need to go over them myself, too. So you're gonna hit that wall at 60, I'm afraid - which means you'll get like, maybe 2-3 a day, up to 5.

That conic at the end is phenomenal!

“I’m just… I can’t. I can’t tell my nightmares from reality anymore. She… Nightmare Moon had given me hope before, a single dream where Twilight and her friends saved me… I could see a portal home, a simple, childish idea that I could just… trot back to Canterlot, and eat, and sleep, and I would never have to spend another thousand years unconscious ever again. A-Arin, please… if this is just a dream, just let me die. I-I… I can’t go on like this anymore. I can’t. There’s nothing left inside of me to take. I-I’ve given, and I’ve given, and… I’m not the Princess everypony knew before.”

“Nopony expects the Vee-Ness Inquisition.”

And just like that Vee solidifies herself as one of my favorite characters haha

“RIP AND TEAR, UNTIL IT IS DONE!” Tempest screamed, lightning arcing from her horn in a cascading array. She swung by the blade embedded in the spider’s abdomen, the chitin cracking under the heat pouring from Sun Song. Like a hot knife through butter, she slid to the floor, cleaving the massive spider in half.

“YOU! YOU ARE HUGE! THAT MEANS YOU HAVE HUGE GUTS!” She pointed to the next largest spider in the crowd, which took a spindly step back . Around her, the pumping churn of the Matriarch’s insides forced a geyser of ichor to rain into the webbing around. A shower of arthropod gore spewed around her in a green mist.

Tempest Shadow, the Doom Slayer........ ya know, I actually like the idea of that haha

I'm happy you're enjoying it. <3

Tree friends, always good to have

10998783
I never asked, but a favorite character in the story, or a favorite character of all time?

10999578
What a question is that, Smol-fry? Vee’s gotta be a fav of all the characters ever! She’s got bits to snoot up, her shop needs the attention!

Oh these two are great. Love them already.

He slowly closed the drawer, tugging gently at the light’s pull-string. The room was plunged into darkness, only the low light of the woodstove keeping the room dimly lit and warm.

Then he clicked the light back on, and like a teenager hunting for juicy gossip – pulled the book out. Okay, maybe just a peak. She never had to know. He popped the button and flipped to today’s date, to see what her thoughts were on the bake sale, at least.

Not gonna lie this made me cackle like a madman

Not sure if you read my reply to your blog post, Pumpkin Pony, but you really upped the 'peril' in these recent chapters with Nightmare Moon and the Entity here. I really felt the terror of its influence and the frantic pace of the ponies running down into the mines. Excellent job!

Oh! Thank you!

I thought I did better in my other chapters, as party members use and abuse resources until there's just... nothing left, but I guess this works, too.

I'm going to write a final few followup chapters, after a little hiatus - but after Chapter 92, I consider this story "complete" enough for me to mark it as such. The rest is just details.

Hnng..... my heart...... that last bit, just perfect.

Omaewa mou, shindeiru

Vee, you wonderful purple, you!

The blue griffon hissed

OK a blue griffon, nothing unusual about that.

Ohmygosh! Mordecai

...... no, don't you fuckin dare!

Can we pretend that airplanes in the night sky are like shooting stars? Because I can really use a wish right now wish right now wish right now~ ”

I don't know whether to hate you, or to give you the highest of fives for this.........

I had to do it to 'em.

And Vee had to do it to 'em.

Last chapter is ready, waiting on my editor to give it one last look over.

Still need to write one more "round up" chapter that catches the last of the loose ends. But really... this story is done enough for me, and it means I can finally write my own book. Inspired by like, 20 sources, it has the makes to be either really good, or outright hated by anyone who isn't interested in this kind of stuff.

By the way, Vee is based on a real person! Er... pony. And I've written her pretty much accurately, except with a totally wild and made up backstory.

In truth, Vee is just Vee. She exists in many places, many universes - but she's perhaps the best character to write. Of course she's going to show up in everything I do, from now on - especially once I become a published author.

No don't end now jk I love this story

You killed my boi
He was so young
So cool
He was the best of us

Quite a dire situation, I hope luna holds through this

Arin put that poor mare on one hell of an emotional rollercoaster

Dude really went all out right before the big thing he had to do to save... well, a lot

That's... horrible, celestia is going to need a therapist and a snuggle buddy stat

Clumsy mistake. Always, ALWAYS put things back exactly how you found them, a pen on the wrong side of the desk will tip somebody off if they're not preoccupied

Aw, mystery bird does care

I don't think he should give up on luna at all, but they're adorable together

Sleeping is torture, staying awake is near impossible, a real catch 22 I'd say

I think celestia is very needed at the moment, this political situation is probably the worst one out there
