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.

Another good chapter! I'll have to check out the fic you suggested.
Hm; so there are multiple versions of that song in this Equestria, it appears.
"… I am so doomed."
Was the tense shift deliberate?
"and a few acres of square of green land"
Something appears to have gone wrong there.
"one of the mostly closely guarded secrets"
"most"?
THAT ASS

Tense shift was deliberate, though the rest were errors. Derp. >.< Thanks Reese.
8196185
You're quite welcome. :)
Hahahahaa, ooooh wow, this was good stuff, good stuff
Damn fine job!
Loving how this is going, hehehe
I fully support having every chapter end with Blackjack and Threnody cuddled up in bed together from now on Although I think I'll prefer if they would continue to just cuddle and nothing more... I think. I dunno, they've been just cute those past two chapters^^
This chapter however must go to Glitter. She was a blast^^ Taking Blackjack and Threnody away when Bubblegum was having a bath, then teleporting Blackjack away, then glaring at every mare that looked at Bubblegum
Thanks for another wonderful chapter^^
I agree with you there, so much power and potential just... wasted
I just arrived all over my screen
The tension is rising and the epic cute comedy continues. Awesome chapter, I look forward to the next one.
This. Fucking. Line.
It was this line that fucked me so hard, because it reminded me of Echo from Project Horizons. Ponies are named for a reason, right? That means it was literally his destiny to watch his memories in others, like echoes. He was born to live for eternum and watch ponies live and die over and over. Dunno if this was intentional but damn... The nostalgia plus the sorrow for Echo, he was so far lost in his memories he would do anything to be mortal again, to be able to die. BJ is gonna end up like him huh? You suck for being so amazing.
Sincerely,
A very content Yogi

After reading all the way through:

LIKE HOLY SHIT THIS IS SO GOOOOOD.
It's wonderful. It's amazing.
It's sex in a written form. cdn-img.fimfiction.net/group/udh0-1431814389-12-96 Not literally, smartass!
8198100
Yep. Lumber Companies, Coal Mines, Walmart (legit, they tried this for a period of time before the government shut them down). Nice way to make sure that you stay and never leave. (Insert "Hotel California" here)
8198822 Ok!
But seriously, this is getting pretty interesting. Seems like we'll have some major racism? Speciesism? Bigotry? Bigotry. I always kind of wondered about that in the original Fallout universe. The culture was stuck in the 1950s, so, was there a Civil Rights Movement? was it in the 1960s? You never hear about bigotry in recordings and stuff, nor is race ever mentioned by wastelanders, but that could be the fact they're more worried about survival.
Although another thing I wonder about Fo:E and PH is what the hell is the pre-war stuff like? Cus we go from armor, swords, and the like in the show, then not too long later, we got fucking miniguns. Or at least full-auto machine guns, which is a lot of R&D investment. (We know this since the Mane 6 are still only in their 50s or 60s (RD still fights on the front lines, and people in their 70s typically physically can't pull that shit off, or be able to pull the same kind of stunts they did when they were 20 anyway).) Somber clearly took a fair bit of inspiration from The Great War, including myths such as nobility not doing any fighting. (The Great War was not the Vietnam War-even rich people had to answer the call of the draft). On that note, you'd think that there'd be more artillery lying around. And seen in use. WW1 was ALL about arty.
Oh, and I get you probably have a life, or whatever, but I at the very least, really like conversations with the author. It's usually interesting, and it feels like I'm being heard.
Sound like we got a one race rules town. I cant wait to see what happens. though i have a feeling peculiar was trying to warn off thren, that something bad will happen to them? I'm also afraid that they will be separated by work. i need more cuddling threnody
Reads the chapter
1. Glitter Bomb be like : Stay away from my husbando!
2. Who would've expected Tree Hugger of all ponies to own a pot shop?
3. Peculiar be like : Come and play with us, Threnody...
4. Ending: You cannot deny it forever Threnody.
With all the hemp references the Fold is apparently located in Nevada or Nehvada. :p
8205250
Fold = Bend = Oregon = Orneighgon?
'That this pony (*Blackjack*) was almost referring...' ?
I like this psychological evolution legacy thing. Threnody's bacon preference is an interesting thing too.
Is this just self image? Threnody seems to be described as basically skeletal, and I guess ‘lumpy’ and ‘malnourished’ don’t seem to correlate to me because I always think 'lumpy' means fat. I guess it's like her ribs and hip bones are poking out?
The reaction Threnody had I think was well expressed and more than that I didn’t see it coming.
And that’s a really captivating thought, that Threnody is so uncomfortable with being attractive. That mayor really did cause that thing where something that’s good is inverted and unbearable. :’|
I think it’s really interesting how Blackjack transforms as a person when she is active and roaming or idle. Is it like a more polarised Warrior archetype, that within society she is unstable and needs the support of civilians while in the unknown she.. has room(?) to do whatever has to be done to accomplish the taming of the wilderness?
That is definitely a side effect of living in fiction: that coincidences don’t exist and there’s always a bigger puppet master SOMEwhere; and it is also a problem because the reader probably can't forget that it's a constructed world and that technically every single thing is a contrivance!
The way Peculiar acts almost makes me think he might be a twisted heartmender and detected Threnody :S
This self awareness of the situation is intriguing, especially that it has a specific emotional impact on Blackjack and might have concrete effects on how she behaves throughout the story. I had forgotten about PH’s Echo until DerpiusHoovicus2 brought his fate up.

so shipping intensifys, well, the blackjack thren-scene is adorable, the unicorns are creepy, and i get a feeling that the attack wont come, which will put blackjack more on edge, and then one of them (glitter bomb?) gets captured and the uni-cult? tries to make blackjack join them while thren and bubblegum have to sneak around` save glitter, and blackjack somehow causes widespread magic burnout because shes blackjack and shes been art of unity before? i dunno, just my speculations.
anyhoo, keep up the wonderful story shine!
This line is great. I really like this creepy guy.

Yeeee bb~
Bitch ass Jim Cow unicorns...

Folk songs are like that

Aye, makes sense.
What I'm hearing from this flurry of comments over the past 48 hours is I need to hurry up and write chapter 10...
8245141
Duh? Like, I'll wait, cus I want it to be good, but fuck, this is EASILY one of my favorite fics I've read on this sight, and i very eagerly await chapter 10
Are you and somber ok? It's been a while sense we last heard from you.
8265184
Ack, yeah! I think Somber is planning on posting chapter 14 of Homelands soon. I've been eaten by work. And way over committing myself to everything, but I do want to try to get some work done on 10 with him soonish.
8247167
What does that mean?
8271731
Anticoagulants prevent your blood from coagulating which, is a natural system your body has to prevent bleeding, or at least try to. Exsanguination is the medical term for draining a living things blood, or rapid blood loss.
8275632
Oh yeah... thanks
D'aww, that last scene is cute. Looking forward to the next chapter.
All we need now is for somebody to somehow drag Deus up from that lake in chapel and get his ass working again.
8284793
That would be cool, but that would only work if his life support didn't fail, or whatever is used to keep his brain from decomposing. But considering pre-war Equestrian engineer that shouldn't be a problem.

>Threnody Falls into river
>BlackJack is too drunk to help
>suddenly a booming sound vibrates through the water
>Threnody stops floating away and starts rising from the water
>"what the hell saved me?"
>It's fucking Deus
>"CUUUUUUUNT!"
Wow! That's a lot of fun after it picks up...
So many character to ship.
Well, I hope the next few chapters are out soon.

No! This isn't based off of Fo3!

Nothing at all. Nothing at all. Nothing at all.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does this taste funny to you?"
8271958
Huh. Just came at me like the clichéd nerd/scientist, leaving me scratching my head.
8299130
No. Just, no. Go sit in the corner and think about what you have done.
8299449
War does not determine who is right. Only who is left.
I just read the whole thing in like, 3 days. That's great stuff. Nice to see a bit of blackjack, I like the potrayel you made of her.
Nice to be on a social character point of view. Remind me of one of my character on New Vegas that was all social and has companions to fight off problems.
And I have to say I love Glitter bomb XD the way she does the "I'm watching you" routine, way of carrying junk pinkie pie style, the *put on sunglasses*. XD
You got some laugh out of me. GG
Keep up the good stuff.
Hay, haven't seen you for some time, is all well?
