This story is a sequel to Closing the Barn Door

Two vaults with two experiments. One set the ponies out on their own, forming a tribal group. One kept them close, creating a vault-dweller herd of ponies. But there's still one more to be seen. How were they treated and what did they form?

Let's bring this story to a close(?) with the ongoing adventures of our mane character, Buttercup, the robotic companion horse designed to serve at a child's side, even in the wasteland.

They told me that the world below was barren and fallow. Poisoned. Unfit for life. In my ignorance, I had no recourse but to believe that. Then, one day, I saw for myself that the world beneath our ever-so-bountiful fields of clouds wasn’t quite so dead as I’d been told. For a mare born without the wings so many around me took for granted, a little dirt under my hooves seemed like an impossible dream.

I’d like to say I abandoned everything I knew to chase that dream, but the truth isn’t so nice and pretty.

Legends have a way of becoming romanticized. Even when those legends have darker origins than others realize. The Legend of Desperado and Lefty is one such story. Two friends that had a plan to help their settlement, and how it all turned sideways. Sometimes, not always, but sometimes, the ones to remember are the ones that morn, and for a NCR Ranger having a drink, considering what happened, and how it ended up wrong for two bandits, it's the closest that anyone can get to mourning in the Wasteland.

The Wasteland: a place where all that is good and pure dies. Men may hold to ideals they find good, yet they can rarely ever meet them. Democracy, freedom, safety, all are just words to be thrown around by corrupt bureaucrats wanting to secure more power. A place where the hero is the villain, and the madmen are the heroes.

Equestria: the land of plenty, where ponies can go their entire lives without a single issue or problem. Where the good are told they thrive, and where ponies are told no evil survives. Freedom, safety, harmony, the ideals everything is supposed to meet. The heroes have time to throw parties, and the villains are never heard from.

Yet all it takes is one man to save both the realms. One man to cleanse the Wasteland, and one man to reveal the truth to the Equestrians.

The Courier.

The Commonwealth is saved, the Institute is destroyed, and the Sole Survivor has all but guaranteed the survival of the Minutemen, and by extension, the commonwealth itself. Sadly though, he didn’t stick around to lead them into a new age of glory like most of the soldiers had hoped, he chose to go his own way, to continue the fight wherever he saw fit.

This is not about him though, his story will be told another day. Instead, we focus on one of the soldiers he left behind, a soldier willing to take a risk to try and ease the burden on his fellow soldiers, and in the process, ended up in a whole new land that was so similar, yet so different.

This soldier must combat new horrors with a form no longer his own, can he adapt and survive in a land he knows nothing about, or will the Wasteland merely make him another unfortunate casualty.

Story will take place roughly about a year before the events of Fallout Equestria

Fallout Equestria is written by Kkat, which I’m sure we all know, but I feel I need to state it anyway so you all know who created the masterpiece.

Also I know, terrible description, I’ll think of something better later.

This is a Fallout: Equestria and Harry Potter Crossover, inspired by Harry Potter and the Crystal Empire for those curious.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
What if, in the battle against Quirrel, Harry accidentally smashed the Philosopher's Stone on the man's head? What if this transported the entire school, along with all of the lands belonging to it, into the Post-Apocalyptic Wasteland of Equestria?
And what if all of the students, teachers and Ghosts got ponified in the process? Well, Harry has some other problems to boot, like figuring out what to do in this new world, and managing as both a Alicorn, a female at that, and one of six no less, as well as trying to keep the school and his friends safe.

One small change can alter everything you know. One small change, no matter how seemingly insignificant, can change the entire course of history for the better or worse.

Enter Maripony, the Enclave soaring overhead as a monstrous entity screams its death throes, it and the Enclave force annihilated by the Stable Dweller. Very few Enclave escaped that day and lived to see their final fall.

But what if a single officer, in another timeline, had their sky carriage malfunction, thus causing them to miss the departure? Small, insignificant. An officer who had very little to add to the story of the Lightbringer, who was to die a meaningless death in a balefire blast. But if they survived...?

War Never Changes. But the world has.

And Littlepip is dead.

A collaboration with Twilight is the BEST and BioQuillFiction.
Fallout Equestria is by Kkat.
