The battle of the Hoof ended 9 years ago. For some ponies, the scars are still fresh in the mind. As Threnody, a young heartmender working with the Followers of the Apocalypse will find, sometimes the hardest step is getting a Patient to speak.

Ahhhhhh, such mixed feelings. Even the chapter content as a whole gives me mixed feelings, because I was really itching to find out what was going to happen in the Red Forest.
Still, seeing Puddle's background and more insight into the Stable Pony's lifestyle and past was welcome...even if the moment her parents showed up alive we knew Puddle's story wasn't going to end nicely.
Happy to see you updating so frequently, Heartshine, and definitely enjoying the read!
Great chapter, ;3
Ok caught up. Love the story though the x1 and x2 chapters caught me off guard, didn’t realize what was happening until the mirror broke.
Can’t w8 to see how the story continues.
So, some question just what actually happened at the end of the actual events dreamed of. Lunar didn't actually die, apparently, and Puddle's parents may or may not have. "Lunar didn’t say any of the soothing words that her mother had said that horrible day." might refer to that same horrible day, rather than a different one, which would indicate that at least Puddle's mother survived. Then there's "Puddle dearly hoped that this time and the last were just bad dreams, that her parents were still there for her"; again, ambiguity, as the last time may have been a bad dream, and/or only one of her parents may have died, that being compatible with the plural in that last quote. Of course, her parents' prospects don't look good, but I find the ambiguity introduced somewhat interesting; we'll have to see.
Anyway, I enjoyed the chapter. :)
...And then after seeing something in one of the comments, I checked back and found that, indeed, Puddle's parents are dead. Oh well. I'll look at it as getting a chance to enjoy the suspense and then the contemplation of the ambiguity combined with a reminder of what actually happened. :D
oh my i love this chapter, this is actually what i was waiting for :D
i always liked puddle splasher from the start and wanted to know more about her and the stable
Big adorable. Much emotion, happy to be doing a reading.
Awesome chapter.
<3
Keep up the amazing work, Heartshine. It's always a beautiful thing to read your works. :D
Ooof, that poor Stable. Nothing more painful than having it attacked, seems to happen a lot in any kind of Fallout media, fan of canon, doesn't help they might have some decent supplies and are relatively defensible positions... if you know how, that is.
Good show.
Meanwhile, in a universe several dimensions off the finite curve... Blackjack's people gather
It has taken the better part of two days but I have read every single chapter and its been awesomes! :D
As soon as I saw this was another X chapter I knew exactly how things would play out and how it would end, and as soon as I read sweet Puddles name I began to tear up because I knew it could be only one thing, and still it was a roller coaster of anxious anticipation and heartache until Threnody's voice rang out in Puddles mind and gave me chills.
Now, it must be said that FoE and FoE:PH are what lead me to all things pony and fallout related. And Blackjack herself is so much my spirit animal that sometimes it seems Somber must be psychic. o.o So i can appreciate how well BJ is written here. :)
I also love this story dealing with both sides of empathy. As a child I was deeply empathic, however years of abuse caused me to build shields that are hard to bring down anymore. I can understand Threnody's feelings and reactions. She is me when I was very young until my pre teens. She is not best pony though.
Glitter and Puddles are best pony. :D
Glitter and Puddles are total squee inducing
waifu bait xD They are the most lovable gotta squeezum little mares evar! x3
If Blackjack weren't all torn to shreds inside by a thousand different leathal heart wounds, maybe fresh out off 99 again, she would be all over those two like feathers on a griffon. So far shes only done some casual flirting and cuddling which for BJ is the equivalent of a hoofshake. o.o
So, from what ive seen so far story is 8 out of 10, would read again. Editors need to keep a closer eye on punctuation and grammar.
Sure Peculiar and his Brother are far more dangerous than weve seen so far. Wonder why he didn't seem to know about the cloud terminal in his room?
Sunset Shimmer in the mirror why? Still alive after 200+ years? In pony form so not in the "human" world? Can see Dealer? Is represented by "Sun" card?
"Tower" card represents Canterlot ruins?
Bubblegum was/is connected to the SteelRangers that died on the Celestia or is a survivor of Stable 99 trained by Rangers that took over there?
Cinnamon Twist is one of the Family's clones and the informant in the Followers? Or is she a red herring? What is her personal grudge against BJ? How does she speak pony without sounding like a hypersonic squeaktoy? o.o
Will Threnody forgivr her mom? Will she ever realise that she basically has a mother and father in Sandlewood and Slate? Will she ever get it on with poor Puddles?
So many questions! All this and more! Same Wasteland Time! Same Wasteland Frequency!! :D
Okay. Fell behind for a while there, but all caught up again now. The Red Forest is a fascinating setting. Deeply fucked up, and unlike anything else I've ever read, so cool. Interested to see what part Sunset has to play in this. I didn't know she even existed in the FoEverse, or at least this version of it, much less was still alive. Good stuff with Puddle and Glitter, too.

Speak, ultimately, was designed to be about recovery. And realising that you may be bent and broke after getting hurt, but that doesn't mean you can't go on living. It may be a long road up to recovery, but it's possible. So I want the light to shine through more than the darkness.
