The Hold has been sealed, and the Champion’s mission complete.
Most of them have their homes to return to, but not Oleander. The Order was hardly good to her, especially after her pact with a Demon, so where should she go now that her eternal mission is now complete?
There is that city of Reindeer where Velvet could put a good word in for her, and that other one that might be keen on getting to know her better.

Chapters (5)
OMG A NEW THEM'S FIGHTIN' HERDS STORY!!!!
I should really write them more... Just more slice of life stuff but I really should do this as well.
The recent tragic fate of the game has me deeply interested in fanfics of it. This one is EXCELLENT so far.

Yeah, there aren’t that many TFH fanfics, actually, and while there are some more on Ao3.org, the pickings are still pretty slim.
That’s the main reason I went with this idea for this project over any other; it’s long past overdue a good Cashleander fic gets made, and I have the ability and will to do it.
Thank you both for the enthusiasm, and I’ll do my best to keep it up!
I'm hooked! Favorite'd, read later'd, and tracked!
You’re one of the few authors that actually could get me into the story. I wish you good luck writing and I’m looking for the next chapter!
It has always been a pain seing all the tfh stories on this site die and end up incomplete
(at least all the non-crossover ones)
But I really hope that this story is finished
Cause right now it really good, like really really good

There aren’t many TFH stories at all, and while there are some more at Ao3 (link to them here), I can’t find anything about just a nice, clean ship that’s actually done well.
I’m trying to fix that, and I’m doing pretty well so far. I’ve already got the next chapter written, and am still pretty determined to see this through.
Thank you for the encouraging words!

And thank you too!
I have to ask, is anyone brave enough to ask if characters from Them’s Fightin’ Herds are allowed to have their own character tags? I mean, I know they aren’t technically My Little Pony characters, but at least six of them are based off of My little Pony characters, so... Close enough?

Eh, this site is a bit more strict on those types of rules than Derpibooru.
I feel they mainly don’t want to do that, as it’d quickly become a slippery slope, with characters from other franchises getting their tags here, and they’d like to avoid that.
All things considered, there’s few enough stories with TFH that specialized tags wouldn’t really help, ‘cuz you can just search the franchise tag plus the character names.
Just finished reading the last chapter. What a banger
it was just a piece of art 
and a very fluffly one btw 
Sorry for that cringy comment. But yeah, really cool chapter, really intrigued to know how will you manage Oleander as a character. 'Cause in most fics she is either super edy or basically a suicidal walking machine with the whole "Fred was not good" kinda plot
Best whishes for the fic

Thank you! While a bit cringy, yes, I do very much appreciate the enthusiasm.
And yeah, a lot of stories like dumbing down characters in one way or another; for Oleander herself, that would generally shoving towards that edginess, rather than actually playing into her nuance, where she’s socially inept and wants to do good with what’s generally seen as bad.
I have seen in a more neutral direction, usually in fics that have her meet with Twilight, but also fail to capture her, once again with the social ineptness, but here also forgoing any darker tendencies to make a good person.
What I’ve done is examine her lifestyle and canon personality, and extrapolated that into what would
happed after spending some time with the other Champions. She becomes a bit less socially inept and gains sympathy for others, but loses her driving purpose when it’s all over, and that is far more interesting to think about than the either of the other options.
I’ve also taken the liberty of adding more nuance to the Order as well, as even I had them as more simplistic back in Chapter 1, but as that comes through Oleander’s viewpoint, it now works well as a way to show that she was blinded by her emotions back then, and has really only understood what it was all about later.
She still doesn’t agree with the Order’s negligence, which is a fundamental aspect I need to keep, but she can understand where they’re coming from now.
EEEEEEEEEEEEEE
I loved reading this. So cute <3
I'd say I wish there was more but I know well how over milking a cow ends.
Thanks for making this.

Thank you!
I always like hearing people be really enthusiastic about enjoying my stuff!
And yeah, of course this’ll be it for now. This whole store was mainly to experiment with scheduling a story, and there are all I’ve got for now.
I do have ideas for stuff beyond this, or similar post-story stuff with other characters (Champions and otherwise), so we’ll see what happens with those.
