As Shining Armor stares down the barrel of the guns of war, he expressed his final thoughts to himself, his soldiers, and his enemies.

A challenge fic written for Emerald Flight of The Writer's Group. I had to write a story based purely on the phrase 'Pity the Rain.' This is what happened.

Just beyond Ponyville Cemetery, Blues Noteworthy and Tritone Interval conspire for a sinister purpose: To write a musical that will raise the dead.

Thanks to Horizon, for the Versebreaker 'Verse. Though Celestia Hates Us All is a stand-alone, I highly recommend the other Versebreaker stories.
Thanks also to two very different geniuses: Mary Shelley and Tony Iommi.

Years ago, Canterlot City was destroyed by a magical explosion - the equivalent of a nuclear bomb. Those who survived found themselves trapped within the dying country, watching in horror as their surviving friends and family were driven insane by the enchanted fallout.

Sugarcoat is one of those survivors and so, she hopes, is her girlfriend, Sunny Flare. Separated by the cataclysm, she now searches for her lost love. However, the roads are long and dangerous, and supplies are always running scarce. Las Pegasus - rumored untouched by the blast, still lies hundreds of miles away and between them lie hordes of vicious cannibals, nefarious cults and horrors as impossible as they are evil.

It's funny how a random whim can turn out to cause the most profound encounters in a person's life. By attempting a bit of magic, I was able to get the once in a lifetime chance to talk with actual royalty! Only, royalty from another world...

A breakfast conversation between the princesses turns toward Celestia's long history of losing fights.

It is said that good things come to those who wait, yet sometimes, it's not your choice. Sometimes, waiting is all you can do.

Inside a small room, alone with his thoughts, a single soul ponders over Those Who Wait... and why.
