This is it, the moment I was dreading since I started reading this... The End
Oh... this brings back so many memories... most of which were of anger because my favorite fic was ending. Good times. Good times.
Brony on!
Well she's my Fallout Filly, with the atomic kiss...
And we'll hole up together in a shelter of eternal bliss...
Gawd d-dammit, b-boys don't c-cry...
When I first read that chapter title and then the first word, my mind got fucked hard (really hope I'm not a slowpoke). Everything about this chapter was feel inducing, one way or the other.
I remember the first time reading this chapter, I was relatively new to the whole MLP fanfiction ring, and I'd never read anything nearly as heartbreaking as this story, of course nowadays everything I read on this site is some form of depressing but I digress; glad to see it still hasn't lost its ability to choke me up.
Oh god, every time...
So Fallout: Equestria draws (mostly) to a close once more. Having read through a second time and catching some more elements that I didn't notice when I did so last year, I can safely say that this chapter still brings me to tears.
If credits were to roll, I cam imagine this, or something similar, playing. It's not helping with the feels.
I eagerly await the uploads of the two epilogues (or 'post credit scenes', you could say), but for now, Littlepip's story is over once more. Of course, that's not truly the end. The Equestrian Wasteland is home to many stories, and I look forward to reading some of them in the future.
For now, though, I thank you, Kkat, for writing this true masterpiece of a story, and uploading it here.

Without a doubt this is my favorite fimficiton story staring an OC, maybe even my favorite story ever, it's certainly top ten easily.
This chapter always draw tears from me, no matter the number of time I read it.
This is the chapter I plan on rereading every Christmas, the anniversary of when I read the story originally.
Read with the ending with Muse playing in the background. Worked in some ways.
> Epilogue.
Gods, this is the most powerful chapter of any fanfic, and possibly any story of any kind I have ever read!
The sheer emotion, the history, the virtues and values, friendship, war and sacrifice, love and hate, it permeates in every word, the characters speak and think, It's all so indescribable in its effervescent beauty.... see, not even effervescent is grand enough a word
A final applause for Littlepip everypony! Let us toast to the Lightbringer, the Stable Dweller, the one who ennobled all of us! And to all those who stood by her, through thick and thin!
Littlepip we will never forget your sacrifice.
I know Littlepip is alive.
I know she can leave the pod.
I know she can communicate with her friends.
I know her fate could be far more tragic.
Then why do I cry every single time I give some thought to this chapter, not to mention re-read it? My take is, it is somehow the most emotional chapter, the kind of chapter that not only establishes a connection between the reader and the protagonist, but turns this connection from a bridge into a tiny pod that contains both your emotion, and the protagonist's emotion, and... Damn, I just can't write any more. Sorry. I'll go think about life and virtue some more. Amazing. Simply amazing. I so love this story. It's so inspirational, well-written and touching. All of my love goes out to Littlepip. And Homage. And Calamity. And Velvet. And Xenith. And Applesnack. And Life Bloom. And Ditzy. And Silver Bell. And Crane. And Crossroads. And Paladin Strawberry Lemonade. (She was so young! ) And Calamity's dad. And his brothers, maybe even Autumn Leaf. Hell, even Red Eye. He was such a lovable villain. Oh, and of course, Kkat, for creating all of them!
P.S. Littlepip is best pony.
So it seems the average number of words in a book is 64,000 and we are at 612,000. Most fan fictions seem to break this median as well so shit you guys write books.
For the beginning part of the chapter, as Pip wakes up:
I was nearly in tears the first time I read this chapter - the weight of everything that has happened all crashing down at once, Celestia's tragic story and how she's been paying for her "sins" for the past couple centuries by being stuck in a Crusader mainframe all from a simple mistake, and Littlepip's final sacrifice.
Oh, and starting playing this on repeat a little before Celestia began her story kinda helped push the tears thing, too:
Regardless, this was a very emotional chapter.
Here we go... like I said in the comments for Chapter 2:
And now, in Chapter 45:
Like Rainbow Dash says: SO, AWESOME!
3149346
I don't know, for me...this is my end credits song
All the while, flashbacks of everything that has happened in the past 45 chapters play, all of the best and worst moments of her life for the past two months.
God two months, I can hardly believe it myself. The story makes it feel longer, and that is not an insult. I mean that in the way that the story plays out, so many things happen to her, so many hardships that would take a person a lifetime to get through happen to her.
Oh god, I'm still crying after reading this chapter, and I wasn't crying that much after listening to it the first time. I'm guess it comes from the fact that I am happy for the girl. She may have to stay up there, but at least her friends and lady can visit her and see her again as much as they want to. . and that Tia won't be alone anymore. The little unicorn who gave so much, and has done so much, as grown into a hero. The pegasus who was a killer without a home now has a life, the gentle girl of a stable now is a strong mare, the soldier has found piece, and the lone warrior has opened her heart.
So ends one of the best, if not the BEST, fanfics in the world. One that has given us all so much joy and happiness to read. Thank you Kkat, and enjoy any breaks you may want...you deserve it!
GREAT!
Full circle
Can't be hell then, because you're in the SPP, and that must be, invariably, awesome
T-t-the end?
Li-Little Pip?
Please no.
I just about died at the end of this chapter.
I finished this story and didn't know what to do with my life.
I was waiting till the entire story was pretty much posted all the way to start reading it again... Now I can start again
Oh god, the plot twist in this chapter... I remember the first time I read it, I literally had to get up and walk away, and just read the rest of it later, because it was just too epic to handle. 44 super-long chapters of wondering what had happened to Celestia, and then this. Her story...
Do you know what you did, Kkat? You made a story, a grimdark cross-over, in which the main character is an OC who by the end of the story becomes part alicorn, gets the girl, saves the world, and becomes Princess Celestia's first friend in centuries. It's like you were intentionally being cliche, and you still made it one of the best damn MLP fanfics on the internet. None of the recursive FOE fanfics have struck me as being anywhere near as interesting or skillfully executed as your original, and it makes me profoundly sad that one of your main reasons for not writing any more in this setting is because you don't want to step on their toes. (I'm not saying the FOE fan-fanfics aren't good, but come on. None of them are THIS good.) I really hope you eventually get around to those smaller stories you mentioned in your blog post, FOE-related or otherwise.
... Actually, re-reading that, I seem to remember you saying in an interview at some point that you WERE intentionally using cliches? Am I making that up, or is my memory reliable for once?
Why couldn't Littlepip have just reconnected Celistia to the rest of the crusader? Homage and Littlepip deserve to be together.
Round of applause, Kkat.
Even the second time I read it I felt the emotion.
Now to figure out what to do in place of this story... Aha! I got it! The other many wonderful FO:E fics out there!
(I read Pink Eyes, now THAT is a damn good FO:E fic as well)
Bravo Kkat!
Hopefully having this on fimfiction will let the FO:E audience grow. I'm sure you're tired of hearing sappy praise from your readers, but I would be remiss if I didn't mention that your epic drastically altered how I view amateur fan fiction as a whole. That said, I am deeply curious about something I noticed when I first finished your epic way back when, and would love your thoughts on the matter.
The three major confrontations (The Goddess, Red Eye and The Enclave) were slowly given context throughout your book. However, while the fights with the Goddess and Red Eye spanned several chapters each, the entire battle with the Enclave lasts only a single (albeit fairly lengthy) chapter. The unexpected changes in narrative structure (e.g. shifts in view points) and the increase of active characters makes for a very dense, hurried chapter. While it's sudden beginning and end make sense with the added context of the conclusion, when I was first reading it I couldn't shake the feeling that something had changed with how you were approaching the story and it almost felt... wrong. I don't mean incorrect. Rather, it felt as if something was off when compared to the rest of your writing.
I was wondering if this sudden change in the tempo of your narrative was intentional and, if so, what was your motivation? I have a few theories of my own, but I'd rather hear it from you.
Again, thank you so much for what you've created! I am still enjoying all the FO:E content that your work has inspired and am continually humbled by what you've accomplished in creating this amazing work of fiction.
This was my first time reading this story and I am crying my eyes out. And I had these songs playing in my head while reading this chapter...

Both of those were only my Fallout Equestria Inspirational playlist!
SPOILERS
We're late enough in the story that spoilers for this story are a silly thing to give. So instead, a Pink Eyes spoiler!
Puppysmiles' hazmat suit's AI dies. That was sad. I really liked that guy.
Maybe hell is eternal boredom. That is part of the reason you left the Stable, after all.
My first time through this story, I simply sympathized with Littlepip. But then, a few weeks ago, I was reading Romance Reports, solely because Cold in Gardez had written a sequel to it, and at one point I ended a rant (about characterization, I think) with "I am a little disappointed in Gardez's taste." And Gardez replied to that comment. Now, I don't literally worship Gardez, so it's not perfectly analogous, but if there was ever a time in my life I was going to literally "eep," that was it. I probably did think "eep." Among other expressions of shock and embarrassment. And I thought of this scene. So now, I would say I empathize.
You're both wrong. 'Tia is not responsible for Luna's school being poorly situated for the war. There was no reason to expect thing to turn sour when the school was being planned. But she is responsible for what Equestria did under her leadership. And she is responsible for giving up when things got tough.
I should say something about this whole conversation. Something about sacrifice, and procrastination, and preferential treatment, and all that. But . . . words. They're hard. Don't let all the other ones I've written tell you differently.
Littlepip chose correctly. If this is not done now, what's the rush to do it tomorrow either? It can be taken care of at any time. I'll say that. It's far less than the sweeping paragraph or two this deserves, but it's what I can express.
You did good, Littlepip.
...Damn...
...Words.
Damn.
3153691 but Celestia also doesn't deserve to continue to suffer from eternal solitude. It was a sacrifice that LittlePip made for her
No, no, no. It cannot end like this. NO. God dammit, I can't stop crying...
Whoops... When you swear to God, remember that God can sometimes hear you
Wait. The final chapterly quote is from the end of Fallout 3, isn't it? So now I see where an important part of the inspiration for her, or her virtue, came from... Mmph.
And just... damn. I'm looking forward to perhaps picking back up Project Horizons, and reading Heroes and other fan-fanfics. Perhaps even concocting something of my own (though if that does happen it likely won't be for years. I'm proving to find it difficult to remain dedicated to writing my first/current story, which would be a sort of prequel, for sustained periods of time. I blame that partly on being new to it all). Looking forward to new, different things. But even so... I'm still in awe of this. I can never relive my first time, but Fallout: Equestria will always remain close to my heart.
4235981 Yep, the chapter quote is from the Fallout 3 good ending, with Lone Wanderer changed to Vault Dweller. Good luck if you write the story, new fallout lore is good fallout lore.
Not to sure what to say... but we aren't at the end yet. So much to say... might leave it for a time even when I am done. Onwards! To the teary end of an era!
teach the things I had learned which where safe
conglomerations of wires,.
1. Were.
2. Extra comma.
So this is where it ended and started. This is where LilPip went and sent her message to the wasteland, to where everypony could hear the Lightbringers story. This is where hope truly begins to shine brightly once more.
Nothing else can be said for there is nothing to truly describe it.
Littlepip, you brilliant bitch! Why did I assume she just fell through the shield because she was on fire?
Ulysses said we all all Couriers, bearing messages for one another. And she was a message to the Enclave, "Stay out of my shed!"
Request en pace.
0_0 I see what you did there now. Did it really take me this long to make that connection? I'm about as stupid as Littlepip when she did not realize she could just shut off the radios in Canterlot I guess.
Wait, what? No. No, no, no NO! Goddamn it NO! You did NOT put her...no.
The war was occurring before the massacre at Luna's school. And the zebra's could not imagine how wrong they were about your sister. The zebra's started this war, and ended it. I hope the only living zebra's are in Equestria now.
Xenith was right, Luna was stronger. Luna preferred to fight while Celestia ran away. In some cases that's bravery, like Canterlot when the megaspell hit. Still, I'm glad you have given every main character flaws. I despise how some like to think Luna fought a long, dragged out war with Celestia, but Season 4 pilot proved that idea wrong. I am never going to let that go.
That was sad, but I wasn't crying like others. ADD? Wow though. I swore this was going to end with the firing of Gardens of Equestria.
Kinda glad it didn't in a way, now it can end with sunshine and rainbows as Pinkie said. Should I read the Epilogue listening to the Epilogue music from New Vegas? That tugs at my heartstrings. I was hearing music from Assassin's Creed Brotherhood in my heart reading this, but I did hear that piece today, so that explains it. This too.
The talk with Red Eye reminded me of talking with Illusive Man at the end of Mass Effect 3. And talking with Celestia seemed to be how the chat with the Godchild SHOULD have gone. Fuck you EA.
...
You know?
I read this story once before, many months ago.
I came back to Fimfiction for the express purpose of re-reading this story, with the insight I've gained from actually playing the Fallout series.
It's been a month and a half to finish this, only getting to read it occasionally, on account of my life being cluttered and filled.
At the moment of writing this, it's three in the morning, and this story's ending is exactly as satisfying, as soul-crushing yet uplifting, and as brilliant as it was when I finished it for the first time, which was at three in the morning all those months ago.
Just... wow. It's... just... wow.
I'm really hoping for a re-print of the hardcovers, because this is a story I want to be able to read for a long time to come.
That last paragraph....
That's what got me the most...
This is where it all ends. From her escape, to getting shot by Calamity, to her rescue of Steelhooves, her meeting and uniting with Xenith, what happened at Arbu, the war waged at stable 2, and everything else. Its pretty much over. And like most things it leaves with a bitter sweet mix of satisfaction and a lust for more.
How many titles does Littlepip have?
Celestia has a cruel sense of humor.
And now we've come full circle.

Are both really fitting credit songs for this.... If you pay attention to the lyrics of course.
I think this is suitably epic music for this chapter
Wow... It's... it's amazing and very sad. I didn't expected a the end like this one. In my opinion this is the best story on this page. When LittlePip joined to Celestia i started crying (Seriously I started to crying like a small girl. Even my cat was crying with me). Why did she stay with the Princess? As I understood, Celestia gave LittlePip a choice. Will be a chance for some kind of alternate ending? It could be good to read :> (Sorry for my English - I'm just learning)
someone give this woman a fucking medal
huh it seems like little pip shares the same distain for celestia as I do and she stat with her in the spp. Little pi your a better pony than us al
This story was my first fanfiction. This story brought me into this wonderful community. I'm glad to see that it's every bit as beautiful as I remember it being.
