If I'm keeping score correctly, this is either the fourth or fifth community singlehoofedly laid low by this series' ever-pervasive plague. If it weren't for Fluttershy and Treehugger's cameos in the Meadowbrook epilogue, I might've assumed it'd just gone on to kill everyone. :P
Quippery aside, looking forward to the rest!
Another good story. Funnily, even though it's horrific, Rockhoof's level ups have a satisfying feel to them, so that's a case of the characters and readers harmonizing.
