During a thunderstorm, Cumulonimbus shares his tragic tale with a sympathetic bartender. A story that begins with him falling from the sky and ends with all his friends dying.
Climbing from the rubble of the now ruined world, a zebra who survived falls back on the only instincts he has left as the ponies who emerge along side him seek to place the blame on him. A short tale of survival, and if he's lucky, forgiveness
In the years before the bombs fell, there were many ponies who fought for Equestria. Some ponies fought and won great battles, some saved many lives in the field. Deadbolt Tumbler didn't want to be a hero, he just wanted to do his job and go home.

Equestria has fallen, and the pieces are still being recovered. A mare wanders alone, cold and embittered. Perhaps she'll find friendship, even in these dark times... if such a thing is even possible.
In this FoE Sidestory, a veteran of war returns to the harsh realities of the wastelands from beyond the grave. Discovering the hardships of New Equestria and its terrors, he seeks to find a place in a world that moved on without him.
