Fallout‽ Equestria: Console User Manual is a collection of Sketch Stories in the magical wasteland(?) of Equestria. After a Princess, a Zebra Caesar, some aliens, and half of the entire planet simultaneous crit-fail their diplomacy speech-rolls, everything blew up. But then it got better. Kinda.
But then there’s always that one pony who thought getting blown up was the most fun thing they ever did, and would totally do it again. “Ten out of ten, doesn’t require any survival, would explode again!” Over two hundred years after the great accident that doomed Equestria to a brown and grey fate, survivors in Stable Lab Forty-Five Research and Development gave that one pony a prototype Pipbuck attachment with the ultimate power over all life, all physics, and all of reality. So naturally, the first thing they did with it was die horribly! The second thing they did with it was ignore the user manual and play with it like a toy.

The weird escalates quickly... and ends everything abruptly. But it's always conveniently fixed by the next episode, so yay!?

If you were expecting friendship lessons, they’re not here.

(Note: No manuals included. Nopony ever read those anyway.)

(Actual Note: These tales are tangentially based on the setting of Kkat's Fallout: Equestria. Familiarity with that story may aid your understanding. Looking up setting questions on the wiki will work just as well. Familiarity with the Fallout games is not expected.)

A pony in power armor wakes to find themselves in the middle of what was once a road. With no memory of who they are or where they are from, they set out to unravel the mystery of their origin.

(Sorry if some parts are vague at first.)

Striker Dimlight used to be a courier but hadn't been in the business for nearly three years, until today. He had been asked to deliver a message to an unknown pony in a bar he visited after exploring the Redblight wasteland. He now starts his adventure to deliver his new possession and to find the pony that he had been told had to retrieve it. On this quest he will find new friends and enemies, even some he would never think to to meet.

A camera zoomed in on four pods as they hissed open revealing four ponies from an era of heartache and war. This is serpent squad a group of highly trained soldiers. My team from long ago most people today don't know the things we did the stuff we seen but im just rambling.

Note i am going to be editing this story so the chapters will be down for a while

Only once was it whispered aloud that a secret facility existed somewhere in the frozen Great North of Equestria and inside of the Facility, machines were being created, powerful machine warriors created to combat the zebra threat to peace.

The cover-up story was whispered just as softly, that the facility would be crafted to watch for the great Crystal Empire, to watch and wait no matter how long it took, to get into it when it finally appeared, or find the ruins of this ancient society, to procure powerful magicks to, also, fight the zebra threat.

But, sadly, Equestria was annihilated before these whispers could truly gain shape into something meaningful to anypony that did not already reside in that great facility, buried under the ice and snow. Now it is a but one of the many empty, silent military facilities that dot the old Equestrian Kingdom's territories, forgotten by all but the oldest of computers and ghouls, who no longer care.

Happy was just living his everyday life at home when IT happened. He was terrified. Now, he has to experience what he never wanted to see.

You follow Happy Moon on his journey through the Equestrian Wasteland as he both new friends and new enemies.

Note 1: This . So I would love to know how I can make it better, but please do so politely. I recommend having at least basic knowledge of the plots of the game "Fallout 4" and the story "Fallout: Equestria" to properly enjoy this story. Enjoy!

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.

Stables...large underground shelters built to protect it's inhabitants from the horrors of the nuclear Holocaust.
Inside these stables had all the resources and technology stockpiled, all the things that seemed necessary for survival were inside those...but did you ever thought that an essential part of that machinery could broke and somepony had to search for the replacement part trough the dangerous and unforgiving equestrian Wasteland?
Well our story is about an young pony that received this quest, his journey through the harsh wastes to find the piece of technology that will save his stable is a long road, and every long road has it challenges...will he be able to overcome these challenges and save his stable in time? And worst will he be able to endure the wasteland to save it from the clutches of an ancient evil that came to haunt the present? Find out more on Fallout Equestria Unity

chapter 1 to 3 edited by fFillyphill

Long ago the bombs rocked equestria, most died. Most but not all. In vault 54 the historians and reenactors made a home for themselves trying to create an idealized version of the past. They all died but one, alden moonlight. A Thestral (bat pony) encased in a changeling cocoon for centuries. Now he must explore postwar Vanhoover to find meaning in his life and try to bring hope back to the wasteland. And perhaps he can finally find a marefriend.

Cylinder Block hates dealing with ponies, but in order to achieve certain things he has to. Being a simple scavenger and a craftpony, he enjoys working with machines more, because they never complain and are generally quiet. He is perfectionist, he likes to work on things to every detail, fixing even the smaller things.

Living futher away from the trader town in a small cellar which he alone rebuilt for himself only, he enjoys his privacy and the silence.

The legend says that somewhere under the city is hidden a laboratory, thriving with technology, holding long lost secrets of machinery development. Of course our main hero is trying to find it and use it to build more complex and more useful machines for ponies to use.

The town is littered by urban legends and stories, unfortunately no one knows where is the border between a story and the real wasteland life.

His silent and calm life changes when a mare keeps following him, and eventually making a deal to trade off her information she gathered about this legend, for his company.
