“You will lose someone you can’t live without,and your heart will be badly broken, and the bad news is that you never completely get over the loss of your beloved. But this is also the good news. They live forever in your broken heart that doesn’t seal back up. And you come through. It’s like having a broken leg that never heals perfectly—that still hurts when the weather gets cold, but you learn to dance with the limp.”

What's that quote from? It feels like I should recognize it.

Look up quotes about loss and hit the first link its up there somewhere.
Nice to see that you are still producing grade-A, top quality stories. Keep up the good work.
I wasn't feeling that sad when reading it though; probably 'cause I have never read a single Fallout Equestria story before this.
2262929
Thanks for saying so.
Well, that's kind of expected. Fallout Equestria sort of is the context needed for this story, and if you haven't read the other Fallout Equestria stories you'll miss out a lot on the sense of just how badly the world got fucked over by the war."
Anyway, you can expect my next 'real' story update soon enough.
Why do I feel like that author's note box was targeted for some reason...

I have no idea what you're saying.
What are you talking about?

She guessed? I mean, when they'd been building up to nuclear war for ages and she sees all those streaks of light over head it wasn't a huge stretch of the imagination.

All knew about the megaspells at that point on the timeline, and when you do not see only one line in the sky, but thousands are it easy to guess that it is megaspells and not some smaller weapons. Or that would be my explanation on it
And a little comment now that I am done reading this. Should this not have an alternative universe tag? Fo:E are after all not the world from the show. Or a tragedy tag, because the story ends on a sad note. I know that you have a sad tag, but tragedy is after all sad++ because it does also end in a sad way

You're right, I need to add the crossover tag, but I don't think it needs the alternate universe tag. The idea of the tags is to let the reader know what to expect from a story, and if that story's a Fallout Equestria fic, they already know that it's going to be a crossover/alternate universe fic. As for the tragedy tag... I dunno. The tragedy genre isn't just the 'extra-sad' genre. I mean, I guess on the level of the entire Equestrian world this fits in the tragedy genre, but on the personal level of Rose it fits the sad genre. Anywho, I'll go add some tags now.
Ah wow, poor Roseluck. This was well-done, I like how it focused on a character who was a survivor instead of being all gung-ho-badass. Can't even imagine what it must've been like, and I wonder what became of her. Good fic!

Thank you very much sir, I'm glad you enjoyed it.
I actually have a story in my head of what eventually happened to Rose, maybe I'll write it some day.

Personally, I love Fallout Equestria (all six hundred freaking thousand words of it), I love Project Horizons (Nine hundred thousand words and all), and I love Heroes (A paltry three hundred fifty thousand words), but it really depends on what you're looking for in a story if you're going to enjoy any of those.
I think you might like Heroes, so if you're curious about FO:E start there, it's separate enough from the rest of the story to make sense on its own.
Project Horizons is also really good, but it takes a while to get going. The start of it makes it read like some fairly generic sci fi action adventure, but after a while it shows its true colours and you come to realise just how awesome the story really is, even if it drags on for freaking ages. It's at least as dark as Eyes Without A Face, but sadly Project Horizons doesn't make sense without the original for context.
As for the original... Hmmm... Of the three fics it's easily the most light hearted, and it kind of is just a sci fi action adventure, just a really good, well written example of one. It has a couple of moment in there that have some real impact, but there's a reason people like to remember the original for it's orgasm jokes, and its follow ups for their much darker themes. That's not to say it's light and fluffy, just it never went as far as I wanted it to.
Anyway, whether you read FO:E or not is your call, but I recommend giving them a shot.

Harder? I've never found it easy.
I used to submit to fanfiction.net, back when I was seriously shit and couldn't write a good story to save my life. I don't actually now of any other good sites to post, sorry. And I'm not much of a fan of EqD either, their 'no mature content' rule is just blatant stupidity in my mind, not to mention inconsistent given that they take 'saucy' pony images, and already have plenty of mature fics featured on their site.
That was an interesting read. Love the style and mood. Keep up the great work!

Thanks.
This is very good and carries a lot of impact for such a short story. I especially liked Roseluck's introspection
Feels like Dat Murky Number Seven.

Honestly, I haven't read that yet.
Heh... a bit late to the party. Great little oneshot, sadly under-appreciated.
Captures FO:E's grim feel perfectly and reads like a mini-prequel to the main thing. Goes extremely with 'Littlepip sings Broken Dreams'. Good job.
Have a thumb and fav.

Thanks. That was basically the intent.
Dang. :O Quite nice, though you should remove those song lyrics since they're not from the show. (Also because they're kind of goofy and ruin an otherwise poignant moment.)

They’ve been there for years. Not sure it would be right to change them now.

Well, they're also against site rules. :B
