Long before the war, the lands of Equestria were knitted together with a blanket of steel rails and wooden cross-ties, tracks that stretched to connect every major and minor settlement across the country. Even after the destruction wrought by the balefire bombs and megaspells, the tracks that tied Equestria together remained vital, and as the world recovered from the apocalypse the technologies needed to bring such a massive form of transportation and communication came with it. While the trains that ran following the megaspells rarely carried similar cargo to those that ran prior, the payments for the irreplaceable service still flowed, for better or worse. Those who held strong objections to hauling the newer commodities of a post-apocalyptic world rarely lasted long in the railroad business, and even for those who managed to avoid pulling those trains, it's most always ultimately delaying the inevitable...

Set during roughly the same canon as Gamma Deekay's Fallout Equestria: Long Haul, recommended reading to understand a few of the nods and moments seen, and a few locations as well!

The following is a midquel to my previous completed work, Fallout: Equestria - Outlaw.

Violence and death are an everyday thing in the Wasteland. When you see ponies dying around you on a daily basis–some by your own hoof–you tend to grow numb to it. When the ponies dying are the ones fighting at your side, when the ponies dying are the very first ponies you could ever call your friends and there's not a single thing you can do about it, though...

Suddenly you're not so numb anymore.

Having lost much of her past, memories and purpose in life, Aurora Borealis stumbles upon the junkyard and its sole inhabitant Scraps. Having regained her name and desiring to find her past and place in the world, she begins to walk the paths of discovery. But what she finds and what impact she has may be more than she ever expected.

One day in the magical kingdom of Equestria, a curse is cast across the land. A curse that causes the dead and dying to rise to feed off of the living. This story is about Autumn, one little baker caught in the midst of the curse, and must travel the land with her group of friends in an attempt to save the world.

Will she succeed? Or will the dark power behind all this be to powerful to face?

(please note a revised version is in progress! somethings from this version will still be implemented so I like to consider the re-write an alternative reality version, though it will be the same in the end. thank you for reading!)
* also, this version will still be available, the rewrite is currently out and avialable here . And please don't post spoilers in the comments :D thankyou!

Equestria's a big place. Big enough for history to forget about the little wars that raged across every mile of the wasteland. Wedged between New Appleloosa and Fillydelphia, Pinewood Valley is always drenched in bandit blood as gangs vie for territory, wealth, and power.

One bandit, a zebra named Phisa, has just been betrayed for the last time. She was close to the top, only for everything to come crashing down in a heartbeat. On the run and out for revenge, she must assemble her own rag-tag group of outcasts to fight back against her old allies and claim her place as the toughest, most feared bandit in the Pinewood.

This is the story of a young Unicorn called Tick Tock, A name he hates to be called, and this is how his normal life in the small island city of Trottingham and Equestria turned into the world we know today as the Wastelands of Equestria, 275 years in the future.
In this version there is no Little Pip or anything like that. This is a completely Different Timeline to the original.

This is my first attempt at writing in first person so I hope its ok, Also, If you find any Spelling or grammar mistakes I'm sorry but I did have this chapter spell-checked 3 times so there should be nothing wrong.

Halfway through the war, a decision was made. After several unsuccessful assassination attempts, the Ministry of Arcane Sciences and the Ministry of Wartime Technology cooperated in what was to be the (arguably) greatest failed project of the entire war. Crippled by public opinion and ethics, it was announced as a failed project and supposedly abandoned. Or, at least, that's what everyone thought.
The truth was, too many resources had been poured into this project to just walk away. Lives had been lost, budgets had been spent, and time had been wasted. So, research and development continued unofficially, as the ministry mares turned a blind eye.

This project, was 'Project Rapture'.

This, as you may or may not have guessed, is a story based upon Fallout: Equestria. It is also pretty heavily 'inspired' (stolen) from Bioshock 1 and 2.

I've basically assumed that you've read 'Fallout: Equestria'. If not, some details might not make sense to you. So, if you haven't read it, go and check it out at Equestria Daily
Any constructive criticism is completely welcome, since I'm pretty new to writing fanfics.

<sub>Thanks to all readers! It was wonderful to know you.

Decades after the sunshine and rainbows day, Equestria slowly began to bring back it's old traditions.

Now, Nightmare Night is not only a time to play with your foals and eat some candy, it is also a time to remember and celebrate that even when the bombs fell, and extinction seemed inevitable, life found a way.

On this night, three fillies go around town trick or treating a bit too far away from home and find themselves in danger...

If only there was some kind of vigilante to help them with the situation...

Author's note:
Thanks to Kkat for creating Fallout: Equestria's amazing universe!

A Halloween/ Day-that-the-bombs-fell-in-Fallout-lore special.

A normal night of exploration goes south - quite literally - as two friends since foalhood wind up crash-landing far from their home, left with only their wits, their clothes, and their own company in a strange, new land north of Vanhoover. With a far more populated and dangerous wasteland before them, and their entrance certainly not having gone unnoticed, they race to get back home - though with their mode of transport out of commission, and the weather getting worse by the day, their chances of seeing their fathers again grow slimmer and slimmer.

Empty Quiver is a sequel to Occupational Hazards - it isn't necessary to read beforehand, but it is highly encouraged!
