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.

And it may be more apropopo then first thought. I now have the image of Bubblegum taking a bathroom brought to us by all the fun that magically augmented radiation can play on the equine form.
"What the... what's on the end of my..."
"WHERE ARE THE TURTLES!"
❤ I hope that in the evening I will be able to read
Another well written and overall great chapter
i can't even express how much i liked this chapter and yes threnody finally gets some help.
heartshine you are awesome :)

Stable 9: so nice, that psychologically damaged horses don't know what to do with it.
Yet another wonderful chapter. I'm Loving this story.
Didn't actually notice any errors to comment on. :)
I enjoyed the chapter, though!
Thanks for writing. :)
edit:
Oh, wait, the countdown's new? Huh. I though I'd seen it before, but looking back, this seems to be where it starts.
Well, commenting on it here, then: That seems a bit ominous...
Wasteland horses meet high school anime,. The finest combination! Also Thren finally addressing her issues is a good sign, so yay.
Excellent chapter as always Heart.
I hope that timer is when the new chapter comes out cause I need more of this beautiful piece of art
This gud. Real gud.
I’m sad Thren has that as an idea of what a mother is.
“I am totally grown up because I. Drink. Milk!”
I feel like I have heard a character say this before but I can’t remember who
9978633
That was definitely my favorite line from the chapter.
So the story is taking a slice of life turn all of a sudden? What's with Eohippus? And Lily? And the timer? Is the behemoth from the previous chapter connected? Am I going crazy or is Threnody? How many classrooms are there? Did I miss any information in this chapter?
Where is Blackjack we don't have seen her since they are in Stable 9 cause even if she is in the coma they could go see her.
Threnody faced a crime syndicate, a mutated Tatzelwurm and a bear monstrosity that mimics the voice of its latest victim. But now she has to face her greatest challenge: Going to school! *cue dramatic music*
Real mature Threnody! Well she’s fourteen, but still.
When this story began Blackjack spent almost all her time inside the Star House, refusing to do anything but being depressive and miserable (and having sex with her therapists). Then Threnody came along and managed to not only get her out of the house, but also made her somewhat happy again. Cue one trip through the Red Forest and now Threnody is the one spending almost all her time inside her room, refusing to do anything but being depressive and miserable.
The Wasteland truly has a dark sense of humor.
For bonus points, Threnody even developed the same mentality as Blackjack and blames herself for everything bad that happened to her friends. On the bright side, she gained a new understand of how Blackjack feels and can use it to help her.
We also finally meet Heartmender No. 13 aka Rhiannon. To quote Bubblegum: I’m not sure how to feel about that.
She’s almost too helpful and kind. No, I don’t want to imply that she’s a Mary Sue, but this complete stranger is portrayed as the perfect Heartmender with no problems whatsoever. Which is a stark contrast to every other Heartmender we’ve met so far: Thren has lots of issues, Slate was a sex slave, Sandalwood is deeply afraid of showing her feelings and getting to close to others, Cinnamon may or may have not tried to kill Threnody and Willow Glen
has her accentgot injured from an emotional flashback because she tried to help Blackjack by being her new Morning Glory. I know, it’s a weird to be bothered by the fact that we’ve finally met a Heartmender with no mental issues. I guess that’s the advantage of living in a Stable who follows the motto of the show instead of a Wasteland full of mutants, cannibals, raiders and raiders who are also cannibals.Stable 9 actually reminds me a lot of Vault 94 from Fallout 76: A pacifist community who sent out Vault ambassadors to help the people in the Wasteland. In the end most of their ambassadors were killed by raiders and mutants and the vault itself was destroyed by a bunch of trigger-happy Wastelanders who believed that their kindness was just a trap to lure in unsuspecting people. Thankfully Stable 9 avoided that fate and they’ve learnt that not all outsiders are nice people.
I think this is the very first time her last name is mention inside the story. I remember that she was also called Threnody Lily during the character generation but until now it was never brought up again. It’s good that it’s finally being confirmed that her full name is indeed Threnody Lily and not just Threnody.
Also so many new characters. It’s going to take a while to remember all their names.
I’m not a fan of mixing Equestria Girls and Alternative Universes and Fallout: Equestria is not an exception. I don’t see the appeal of adding humans or Canterlot High to the setting. Besides, the image of teenagers on a high school having magical adventures clashes with the tone of Fallout: Equestria. Of course, one could turn the human dimension into a post-apocalyptic Wasteland, too, but that would be a rather strange coincidence.
Twilight would be so proud.
Countdowns are never a good thing. Fifthly bucks, that’s when the Family is going to attack the Stable or Blackjack wakes up from her coma, thinks she’s back in Stable 99 and has a breakdown.
So we had your first a breather chapter in a while. Which makes sense since the group had to deal with the Red Forest and the Family. The Stable provides everyone time to calm down and heal the physical and mental wounds. Hopefully Threnody’s abilities to feel the emotions of others will eventually come back. It’s such an interesting ability that it would be a shame if it’s lost forever.
Anxiety pega goes to school... that truly is the worst thing she has gone through so far...
Great chapter. love where this story is going and cant wait for the next chapter!
Lover of all things Fallout Equestria, LB
So what. it looks like we're finally at chapter 20! hmm 20 .. does it just look like a pretty anniversary to me!?! 🎂 🎉
so what now heartshine .. when the party? you have to celebrate it somehow? we are already at the "pink eyes" level! and as we know, not all stories in this universe thrive so well. the more so, how much ... 8 years from the original FoE? so what ... 57 more chapters and we will catch up with somber ;D..
I count on you!
But back to the topic.. yeah. An really beautiful chapter we have here. And what I like most about it is that it is calming. we know what happens to most characters and (by the standards of the wasteland and by what happened to them) they are in pretty good condition.. this is good information, especially that in a moment we have Christmas, and now we don't have to worry about whether the little threnody will survive the next day. however, for stories from the foe universe (a slight distortion by other stories, sorry) it is a little too calming for me.
and the fact that we do not know what is going on with blackjack is additionally anxious, especially since last time she was erratic, which leaves quite a lot of space for reflection.
The second such character is Silvia (if that's not the name then sorry). from what I remember, she was also taken to the stable with everyone.
And of course the whole great stable no. 9, so perfect and by that also disturbing. I'm really curious what will happen next.
Well ... what will happen next ... I am sorry in advance if something breaks now but this chapter gave me a lot to think about ... opened many paths that can now be followed.
First. Silvia ... (I'm talking here about that earth pony that shot a ray from the head) ... (sorry if her name was wrong) ... I wonder if since she was also taken to the stable then IF she is a robot then does she have any tracker and now the whole Family will attack the stable .. and at this moment ... will Rihnnanon sacrifice himself for Thren? (because of course they are all about her) saving her life and "taking a shot"? or saying that she is also a heartmender and that they would take her instead of Thren? ... or take Thren and the whole team will try to save her? (of course then our little Heartmender will have opportunities to find out about your father, etc.) Or simply The Family will destroy the whole stable .. it's a beautiful and amazing place and our little team of friends will escape by secret exit, etc. ...
The second character who can have a damn effect on the next chapter is of course blackjack . (As a side note, I appreciate that you've removed her from this chapter by creating more space directly for threnody.)
As we well know, Blackjack is one of the most controversial supporting characters in this story. That is why I think that how this story will continue, depends quite heavily on her. Will she wake up from a coma thinking rhat she is in stable 99 and as a death machine will start to attack everyone..? maybe even in her fury she will kill someone important? Or maybe she will wake up with total amnesia.. well that woulda be funny though.. At best she will wake up normal but the stable will remind her of 99 and she will force the team to leave it and in this way our heroes will move on looking for adventure.
unless we develop stories in the stable and thren will be in a total disorder between the pegasus she met (I don't remember the name) and the Security...
Well, unless we want to really develop stories in the stable and give a chapter in which our little heartmender will tell everyhing to Rihnnanon but it will close a certain phaze.. or part in this whole story and I don't know if I'm ready for it..
besides, the universe of fallout equestria has accustomed us to continuous action and it would be hard to make a good story by keeping the stories in two chapters in one place..
jeez now i wonder if anyone will read this shitpost comment of mine..
9980816
I've a feeling that Silvia will end up joining the group. We're still need replacements for Rampage and Boo.
9980639
As opposed to colourful talking ponies in a small village having magical adventures, which fits the tone perfectly fine.
9980865
well.. during the last action, when the family teleported away, Silvia remained motionless. If the rumor is confirmed that she is a robot, programmed to serve his master. Then without any interference in the software (which would also be an interesting plot twist) I doubt that she would join them. sooner could you make a story that she will activate and attack the stable from the inside .. maybe even find Thren and teleport her to the family ?!
9980944
just like that. joining this character from a series about pastel teens in the * cough *
monster high* cough * climate, which is based on the series about colorful ponies .. I don't know if it's a good idea .. I'm not saying it's a bad idea, but I'm afraid that it could destroy this great stories. damn, now i imagined Mlp: FimEg in a FoE climate .. damn, i think my brain just evaporated9980986
I don't think that EqG really fits in the Fallout: Equestria world either, but not because it's tonally inconsistent. The show is tonally inconsistent with Fo:E as well, but nobody ever complains about that, and EqG is not nearly as far removed from FiM as Fo:E is.
I just don't think it fits because Fo:E is a really old AU based on really old canon, and EqG is from a much different time in the franchise. The first EqG movie came right after season three, which gave us Princess Twilight and reformed Discord, and the Fo:E universe has neither of those things. Hell, even putting changelings or the Crystal Empire in a Fo:E fic feels weird to me half the time, even though there was nothing in the original story which suggested they couldn't exist.
That said, some of the later chapters of Project Horizons already established that this branch of the Fo:E universe is still following season three canon, just in an alternate timeline sort of deal, where there was an unseen divergence point somewhere that prevented those things from happening when they otherwise should've. Or, at least that's the way Discord explained it. So if Heartshine has ideas for Sunset Shimmer and plans to do something interesting with her, I'm willing to give it a chance.
9980944
Point taken.
Sometimes it’s hard to believe that in about 30 years this universe went from Nightmare Moon trying to stop the Mane Six by giving trees scary faces to ponies and zebras killing each other with guns and mega spells. Fallout: Equestria shouldn’t have worked. It’s like writing a Bob the Builder/Resident Evil crossover.
The problem I’m having with Equestria girls is that there’s either another dimension full of pastel colored humans that looks a lot like our modern Earth or that there’s another dimension full of pastel colored humans that looks like the regular Fallout universe. Neither of these scenarios is really appealing to me. Fallout: Equestria and Equestia Girls shouldn’t mix.
Of course, more Sunset Shimmer is always great. So I’m hoping that the references to Equestria Girls are kept to a minimum and nobody ever mentions the human world.
9980967
It never occurred to me that she could be a robot. My impression was that the Family took an Earth Pony and did something really fucked-up to her that removed her free will and made her shoot magic lasers from her forehead.
Would fit the tone of the story, which is all about ponies who went through traumatic events and trying to get better.
Of course, her being a robot is certainly a lot less horrifying than my theory. So I won’t complain if that’s the case.

Re: EQG: I do have plans, and I swear they'll make sense, and WILL NOT INVOLVE GOING THROUGH THE MIRROR. The Mirror's broke in this world, and I have other reasons for needing Shimmy that will hopefully make sense later>
Re: BJ, Sylvie, other ponies who I didn't get to: I... didn't want to write a 90k word chapter, and will be getting to how BJ, Sylvia, Solidarity, and Hyacinth are doing. I just realised I wrote so much that I needed to divide dealing with it into multiple chapters, and that takes time. Plus, I really couldn't move the story forward without actually picking at Threnody's issues first, since, as the narrator, she kinda needs to be able to respond to what is going on.
9981171
I understand the feeling, so that's fair enough. And yeah, it is a little jarring when you directly compare Fo:E and FiM, but between the original story and Horizons, I feel like all the backstory and memory orb scenes do a decent job of making it seem plausible. It still takes a degree of willing suspension of disbelief, of course, but then again, so does all fiction. And there were plenty of imitators after Fo:E that did a much, much worse job of justifying their grimdarkness.
I like Rhiannon’s astral association with heartmending words.
This has been something my family uses on me all the time.
It’s like that feeling of becoming the mask and it ends up with one only being able to have the same depth as the mask.
Another chapter I've very much enjoyed, so much so that it wasn't until I read the comments that I even got the sensation of 'too good to last/to be true'. I will definitely cry if Stable 9 has to get exterminated and that library full of lost knowledge has to get lost for good.
9982235
i hope too.. although it's how FoE universe works...
Leave it to a heartmender to just come out and say what the FoE-standard leader's guilt is really about, jeez.
...Epic foreshadowing?
9981187
You could always just have the mirror connect to a world with actual humans, instead of the... thing we got.
9984076
i rhink that littering FoE universe with humans isn't good idea.. although I'm damn interested in what Heartshine will come up with
9984117
As long as it isn't EG, I'm fine with whatever.

"She had legs that went all the way up the Mississippi" works really well in Noir mysteries. Not so much as an animation style. Also oh god the boots.
Finally got a chance to read this chapter. I will have to say a wonderful one. We got to see Therondy as a pony, not just as a heart mender. It does hurt to see her in such pain, but as you pointed out, it is a part of the healing process. Looking forward to seeing what comes next.
One of my favorite chapters so far.

And as a certain black gryphon once said:
I didn’t expect the group to take a trip through the mirror -although seeing anxiety pega's freak-out would almost be worth it – but it’s good to have it confirmed. And as long as it’s kept vague by only talking about another dimension without any future details, I just can imaging Sunset ending up the manatees dimension and everything is fine.
Of course, this is Heartshine’s story and she has a plan with Sunset. If that plan happens to involve references to Equestria Girls so it be. I may not like it, but that’s no reason for me to stop reading the story.
The bandwidth was good enough on the ship for a morning that I got to download a pdf. Made for a great ending to a long day. Really enjoyed the emotional aspect of this chapter and the closer look into Thren’s mind. Also:
Best line, and it instantly reminded me of a scene from a favorite movie of my childhood. Nicely done, Heart.
9985877
OH MY GOD THAT IS WHERE IT'S FROM! I have had that line in my head since childhood, but recently couldn't place the movie. XD
Very nice, I like the contrast of tone from the last book. Keep pumping these out, and I'll keep reading them.
"The story is getting long"
Hun, we haven't even confronted mama.

we are not even half way to oryginal FoE
not to mention FoE:PH
its just Pink eyes level we are at..
i mean if we count chapters.. not words of course..
which is still good but speak has such great potential that it would be a shame to run to the end now.
9985957
I nearly forgot this story existed. I'll read this after a few other stories
