At some point, you just stop being surprised by all the horrible things that happen out in the Wasteland. You get to a point where you just kind of...accept it as part of the everyday life, heck you might even try to rationalize it. But that doesn't change the fact that the Wasteland is just a really messed up place; the Stables are just as messed up if not more so...

Orchid, or as she's better know as the unicorn mercenary Tri-Gun Orchid, and her companion Sirius take shelter in a cave to avoid their pursuers. Rather than go out into the raging blizzard (or risk another firefight), they reluctantly elected to venture deeper into the cave in order to see where it went. What they found, was a numberless Stable...

With the audio diaries from Orchid's PipBuck, one could just...barely piece together what went down during and before Orchid and Sirius made their appearance.

“Of what does the existence of the stable dweller consist? Two words describe it entirely. Finiteness is one of those words. . . . The other is monotony.”

No two words better encapsulate the life of Littlepip, Stable 2’s Pip-Buck repair technician. She understands the arguments to the necessity of such an existence. But in the recesses of her deepest thoughts, she despises it, though she’d never admit it to herself, for she can neither tell herself why she despises it nor what she desires more. When a strange encounter in the basement of the stable churns up her subconsciousness and stimulates her contrary notions, she reaches out for support, not knowing for whom to look for support nor whom she must avoid. Her only outlet is the stable’s radio frequency. However, the radio is merely sound. So far under the earth, it would only take the slightest tremor of the stable to mute it forever.

A massive thank-you to Golden Tassel, my faithful editor. This romance would be missing many of its critical elements if it weren’t for him. He's shown an amazing tolerance for putting up with my nonsense and eccentricity—not my eccentricity but my romanticism. There is indeed a difference.

A thank-you to Malicious Muse, for his help with Chapter III.

In search of glory, riches and a harem of amorous hens, Gillet must start from the ground up if he's to achieve the same level of fame as the celebrity Talons of old.

Autumn Mist is not your average twelve-year-old unicorn. She has recently been accepted into the most advanced magic school in Equestria, located in Littlehorn Valley.

Misty's thoughts are on an Equestrian hero this day. She shares with her friends her own hopes and dreams of one day being just like her idol. As doubt creeps into her mind, Misty must reconsider her concept of what being a hero truly means.

When tragedy strikes at the school, how will this affect Misty’s view of her heroine? Is a pony still a hero even if they can’t be there to save everyone?

Hope is but a foal hood fairy tale in the Wasteland. Death is all there is

Happy Fallout 4 announcement day, just a quickie I wrote out over dinner.

Equestria's fate changed forever on The Last Day, when magical fire rained down across the land. Many perished when magical fires scorched the land and sapped the life from the surface of Equestria. In that destruction everything changed for in the lives of those ponies who survived but also for those ponies who weren't lucky enough to find shelter in the Stables. Lightning Dust was one such pony who met her fate when Equestria died. Her story was one of many that was long forgotten by those who did not remember her. But it is often said that Death is the final thing that separates ponies from the world of the living. Once you cross that threshold there is no coming back. But the magic of Equestria runs deep and even the Apocalypse is no match for it. So the veil of Death has been pulled back and a long forgotten pony shares her story.

Sometimes you will wake up in your own bed - surrounded by the ones you love, perfectly rested, and full of energy to freshly start into a new day in the Equestrian Wasteland.

And sometimes ... well, sometimes you will wake up in a completely different world and find yourself turned into a horse.

Life sure can be crazy sometimes.

Let's talk a little about apocalypse ideation.

Have you ever wanted the world to end?

Imagine if everything that was wrong with your life - every entrenched system of messed-up people and processes - was wiped away in an instant, replaced with the kind of problems you can just put a bullet in. Wouldn't it be nice, to know for certain that your actions matter? To walk in the middle of the road, without looking both ways?

That's the great lie of post-apocalyptic stories: that life gets easier.

Imagine if everything that was wrong with your life was suddenly replaced with the kind of problems you can make friends with. Wouldn't it be nice, to know for certain that you are the best at something in the whole wide world? To be adrift, in a sea of pastel?

The very idea that Fallout and My Little Pony could be in any way connected is inherently absurd. And yet, to a certain kind of person, they tell the same lie.

Two-hundred and thirty five years since the Mega-spell holocaust decimated Equestria, and it was only a great few years before that a horrible atrocity had sparked the inferno of war, it was that atrocity that has often times nagged at Junction Town resident ghoul and trader, Ditzy Doo.

Thirty five years following the Neighvarro incident, having read an old book on ancient Equestrian customs and culture, and with a special day fast approaching, Ditzy prepares for the week long journey to Ponyville, now a Hellhound Sanctuary, alone on a pilgrimage two centuries in waiting.

Some time has passed since the Lightbringer's journey came to an end, and the Followers of Apocalypse are hard at work healing a very important pony. While progress has been made, it's proven to be a slow and difficult process. But then a mysterious package arrives, the sender hopeful that it's contents will aid in the pony's recovery.

However, the package doesn't contain psychology books or ancient medicine. Instead, it holds echoes. Echoes of ponies who once held Equestria's fate in their hooves. Echoes of mistakes, regrets, and possibly even forgiveness.
