Damnit, It frustrates me to no end to see how close Windfall came to realise the truth about her cutie Mark in this chapter! Either the trauma she suffered from all the killing she did is actively blocking her thoughts from discovering the Truth, or she officially is the densest mare to ever have existed in the valley, if not in the whole wasteland!
P.S. : I still call horseapples on Jackboot's death! You can't make my denial (ergo: hopes) go away by stating twice, by two completely different characters no less, how it happened and make the following events seem impossible had he survived, no siree!

In some of my very first runs at this story, I had it set entirely from Windfall's POV; starting from a few hours after Jackboot's death. I intended to build on their relationship retroactively through various flashback sequences throughout the story.
In the end, I decided that jumping around in the time frame like that would be too awkward, so I settled for actually showing most of their relationship and its development directly. Despite the impression that the first 20-ish chapters might give, this is, and was always meant to be, Windfall's story.
I miss that asshole too, though. Maybe I'll do a sort of prequel, Jackboot's time in Hoofington, type thing. We'll see. Legacies sound be wrapping up in another 25-ish chapters, and after that will be one short 5 chapter piece to wrap up a lose end. So, maybe we'll see more of Jackboot. No promises, but I'm thinking about it...
Thanks for reading!

... Damn it all! My last hopes, crushed to a fine red paste, now left to decompose on the barren ground of the wasteland, probably being slurped up by some random raider...
It isn't just the character 'Jackboot' that I massively enjoyed, but primarily his outlooks on the world and his little quirks, so novel and unusual in the FoE community. Sure, if you want stories of a typical hero swooping in and saving the day, firmly believing that good will always prevail and that evil must be thwarted by an almost obscene amount of firepower, then by all means, there are certainly a few hundreds extremely well written stories of such characters on this site alone. But Jackboot, now he's -in my opinion- a rare gem! Ponies like him are why I spend sometimes hours on end scouring the depths of this site for even imcomplete or abandoned stories: He doesn't really want to be 'good' or 'morally on the good side of the spectrum'. He just wants to get by and have some fun while he's alive, because why not? You only live once. This fascinates me to no end. As a bonus, he actually has a survival instinct, a rarity in the wasteland (and thus strongly contrasting with Windfall :-P ).
This doesn't mean I don't like Windfall. On the contrary, the contrast and the interactions between Windy and Jacky were just plain funny and lively. Even alone, Windfall is just such an interesting character that this story will probably never leave my 'favourites' and my memory. This story is just magnificient, and I can't wait to see where it's headed. I love your work, and it's such a shame that your story is not that popular. You'd be one of the major writers of this fandom, I'd wager.
P.S. : A side-story with Jackboot would be awesome, even if it's simply to commemorate his bastardness.
