The battle of the Hoof ended 9 years ago. For some ponies, the scars are still fresh in the mind. As Threnody, a young heartmender working with the Followers of the Apocalypse will find, sometimes the hardest step is getting a Patient to speak.

she s like a wounded animal scared just running away
Glitter bombs is sorta interesting as she sorta has the personality of puppysmiles mixed with a veteran crusader it's very interesting. And although i'm a bit late to the party for this one something about slate feel's off but that's probably just me. but this chapter overall was great! i just wish they could be a bit longer only because i'm starting to love this new party of ponies made out of angst and emotional trauma. keep up the great work heartshine!
My first reaction to seeing this wonderful story update: "Wait what?! Not only Homelands but also Speak got updated too?! NOOOO! Why, Somber, Heartshine, why are you two doing this to me?! I've got work tomorrow!!! *sob* W-well, better get to it then..."
Okay, late night over here already so will be quick. Loved it^^ I thought that the last chapter ending was a bit too... well, easy, with Threnody being Threnody, though I didn't expect this chapter to start off like that. Anyway, laughed my ass off with Blackjack's and Puddle's interaction, not to mention when them having filly talk with Glitter

Disregard sleep. Acquire Ponies. This is the way of FoE.
Actually in all seriousness, I ended up going 3 days without sleep because I read the original FoE cause I got so sucked into it that I forgot that I should probably be mostly conscious for the internship I had. ...That and I might have forgotten that Somber delays his updates of Homelands by a week because of his patreon rewards. To me it was edited last weekend, so it should have been done! XD
Holy shit what a chapter!
8546990
XD new motto!
Sorry that I don't presently have time for more detailed commentary, but I enjoyed the chapter as usual, Heartshine. Thanks to you and your editors for persevering even in such adverse conditions!
Hmm... Glitter sure does seem different in this, her dialogue is more childish then before.
Guess Shimmercoat is responsible? hehehe.
Good work on this, all of ya, quite a chapter to behold!
Awesome chapter!!!
8546990
Wow, 3 days without sleep? Badass^^ I don't remember now if I lost much sleep reading FoE, though I am sure I slept only half a night for a few days at least. However, I do remember ONE certain thing related to this: during my read-through of Project Horizons (caught up when It was on chapter... 57-58 I think), I kept going to the next chapter after the next, I was so absorbed by the story. FInally, I noticed it was around 4 am, so I decided "Okay, this is going to be the last one for today." The chapter ended with Glory "falling to her death". I went to sleep thinking she was dead I was really sad (not nearly as with the second to last chapter, of course; by then they had long since become my OTP), to the point that I had troubles falling asleep despite the late hour. You can imagine my conflicted reaction the morning after
Oh, and I wasn't complaining about both coming out at the same time True, I miiight have slept only 4 hours before work but meh, it happens.
I am realy impressed by your ability to post a lot of realy good chapters in such a small amount of time. Thunk you very much for your story. It is both interesting a pleasant to read.

It's ok! I don't mind, and Bro and I have already been catching the little errors you normally point out, Reese. But I'm glad you liked it! :D
8548204
Well, a little of that, and a bit of a normal trauma response is to regress a little to a point where you feel safe. Realistically, Glitter became an alicorn when she was a small child, which was a hell of a transition for a little one to make. So, when stressed, her malapropisms and demeanour tend to shift back toward that state, because she felt safe before the war.
8548495
XD Well, I wouldn't recommend it. But I did this after just getting out of grad school, so pulling all nighters and dealing with chronic insomnia made it a little easier. That said, I probably wouldn't've done that were I to be able to go back and relieve my life. Going into a situation where I worked with angry adolescents with no sleep probably wasn't the best plan in retrospect.
8548845
Well, thank you for reading, and I'm super glad that you enjoy it! :D
8548868
Ah, good. :)
Great chapter there 'shine!
8548870
Ahh, right. I suppose that makes sense, hehe, poor Glitter... she needs all the hugs D:
Good work on this, good work
Great chapter. I really like the additional character development regarding Bubblegum that you gave us with that tantrum he had (calling it that because I'd say it fits best). Interested to see who takes the main convincing role in regards to Basalt Breaker. I've also been wondering what the Heartmenders have been doing in terms of Threnody running of with their most high profile and dangerous client (in their opinion). Are they trying to track them down? If so, how are they doing this? Are they keeping the matter internal and trying to solve the issue themselves, or are they enlisting external help? When will they get suspicious that Littlepip and Homage are covering for Blackjack and purposefully being unhelpful? If they do, will they do anything about it or just move on? Will Littlepip and/or Homage end up having to rat them out once Velvet Remedy starts prying into them personally? So many questions, guess they will all be answered eventually.
Goodness gracious, how the hell did you manage to combine such heavy themes with so much humour and not make it feel like a forced mess?
This was one incredible chapter.
Pretty much everyone said their part, Thren's still messed and didn't actually lighten up as much as I (and certainly others) hoped, and now it turns out she's physically hurt worse than we thought. Whoop-de-doo.
Basalt... uh-oh. You know that the situation's truly dire when Blackjack is about to do something logical and be the one doing the rescuing.
8550418
To be answered in 14. Probably. Hopefully. @.@
Yay more uncontrollable emotional turmoil that I'm sure will be a huge pain in the ass to write!
Ooh, Threnody actually swore
Good shit, keep it up. You know the spiel.
-Yogi
8551037
Ah, so chapter 14 is when things go south.
I was surprised at how quickly this chapter came up especially when it was such a labour to get out!
I really liked the interaction between Threnody and Bubblegum. It is really believable reading Threnody's emotional reactions to Bubblegum's truths and Bubblegum's reactions to Threnody's because IRL there's always a lot of nuance and room for misinterpretation for what a person's expression means.
The long term effects of Threnody's attack against Sweetness are intriguing as well, and again another satisfying price to pay for such an attack.
And now, back to Homelands! I really like how these two stories are developing in tandem even though there's ~10 years between their events!

Threnody has a bad mouth sometimes... >.> I'm sure it's nothing like her writer at all.
The stars are not in position for this tribute
8553115
I'm so glad people get the reference. XD It's kind of a running joke between me and my roommate, who is the inspiration for Bubblegum.
Yaa new chapter! Keep up the good work.
Wow... What a chapter. I can see how this would be harder to write, so awesome work on that front. I really enjoyed this chapter, alot to say but I'd rather just summarize: fantastic job, very much eager for more. (Don't ask why I'm reading this at 4am.)
8551037
Something I was wondering about and now even more eager to found out about.
Great chapter like always!! I can't wait to see the developments in relationships in the upcoming chapters, mainly between Blackjack, Then , and Puddle.
Fingers crossed for poly8553404
Mind explaining it?

It's from this national treasure of a movie, but here's the scene.

Ooooooh! Thanks!
Congrats on 200 likes!
I have to wonder if thern is going to snap and become a "monster" like BJ was at the time or will she be better than she was.
God dammit Blackjack

Just rereading project horizons again before I start this. So is Blackjack an Alicorn in this or what?
8613036
No, she dies at the end of PH but for some reasons wakes up in her blank (Somber never explained why). So Blackjack is in her blank during this story.
8613036
AGAIN!? Oh you poor soul...
i cant wait for the next chapter hope it come soon
8616087
It comes whenever it comes I guess. It will be good though whenever it does come.
8616877

Don't worry, Hearshine isn't as evil or cruel as Somber and would never traumatize her fans that way (No offence to Somber though, still a good writer). Unless Somber's writing is seeping into Heartshine, if so then we can only pray.
8623349
Honestly, I deal with enough traumatized people during an average day at work. While I don't tend to pull punches, I also have been hyper conscious of not having to put a trigger warning on this story. Yeah, shit gets dark. But what I loved about playing Fallout was that out of the dark sometimes came light. And occasionally weird shit happened, and the result is alicorn fart jokes.
