Well shit on me, Fluttershy is part of the Bortherhood of Steel? Can't wait to hear this story.
I could see Flutters being a scribe, most likely a medic to be sure. I do have to wonder about the whole meat issue though. Since this fic takes EQG as canon, shouldn't Twilight have already known about humans eating meat? I serenely doubt the school cafeteria and all the other places Twilight visited was vegan/vegetarian only.
But let's say, for the sake of argument, that she totally missed all those signs somehow. I believe the whole intelligent cow thing in Equestria itself was a bit of cartoon humor, rather than the cows actually being sapient. After all, AJ keeps cows in a pen/barn like any other farmer, and corralled them with her dog when they stampeded through town. So unless AJ, and Equestria as a whole, condone slavery, I believe the cows in Equestria are no different than those on Earth. You can explain AJ talking to them as Earth pony magic, cow whisperer or something. Additionally, unlike Cranky Doodle, who has his own house, the cows, as mentioned, are kept in pens and barns.
Plus, Equestria is no stranger to carnivore. Namingly the griffins, who throughout mythology are always meat eaters. After all, eagle + cat =/= herbivore.
Lastly, since twilight is now 1/2 human, she better get used to the fact that she will definitely need to eat meat so long as she's there. The capital wasteland is not going to cater to a vegetarian diet like our world/ pre-war world could.
there are numerous branches or chapters of the brotherhood. as many know Lyons Pride brotherhood occupies the Capital wastes, while the other ones i dont remember.
Fluttershy is lucky that this brotherhood didnt dust her on sight and took her in.
6760323 It can easily be argued that the Equestria Girls world, as a whole, is vegetarian, much like Equestria itself. After all, it's a mirrored world, it would share the same diets as well. And it's not too hard to imagine a whole school or town being completely vegetarian. This is My Little Pony after all.
With the cows, there have been a few other times when cows were presented in other episodes, and it's very clear that they are intelligent. As odd as it is, cows (and sheep too) are kept in pens. There could be several explanations to this besides slapping a slavery excuse to it. An example right off the top of my head is that cows prefer to live differently from Ponies. Rather than living in homes, they like sleeping outdoors. And that's just one good explanation out of several. The point being is they are intelligent.
No one has argued that there isn't carnivores in Twilight's world. One scene had Fluttershy feed fish to ferrets, so it's very obvious they know that others eat meat. For Twilight, however, she thinks she ate another sentient person, a cow, and believes she's committed cannibalism. That's why she reacted to strongly in the scene.
Lastly, she ate squirrel stew no problem! She already knows she has to eat meat and accepts it! Did you even read the chapters!?
You need to keep an open mind. A lot of this stuff is explained, and shown, and everything else is based on what the show has given us.
So, the Mane 6 is scattered all over the Capital Wasteland, eh? Please don't be Paradise Falls

It's a somewhat mirrored world, I'll give you that. But there is plenty in EQG world that counters it being just a human mirror; the technology being the biggest piece of evidence. The EQG world is basically mirroring the real Earth more than the pony world. The human6 are teenage students instead of independent adults with jobs, the princesses are now principles of a school instead of national rulers, there's no magic until the Element of Magic was brought over. Humans are the only shown intelligent species there.
The only thing pony world and EQG has in common are the characters. As such, the argument that EQG is vegetarian, let alone on a city/school wide scale is heavily flawed.
I'm telling you that's cartoon humor, not an indication of real intelligence. Unless you're also going to tell me that RD got away with practically destroying a weather factory to keep Tank around, instead of that punishment being hand-waved to deliver the episode's message. Or the time practically the whole town rode through the streets on an set of DJ equipment on wheels if not for comic relief?
Or why Applejack even keeps pigs on the farm at all? I mean, what? Does she have a massive orchard, livestock, and a truffle farm? With only 3 other ponies to manage it all?
And let's not forget that RD was almost allowed to sell Fluttershy into indentured servitude over a Daring Do book, with Twilight right there giving no mention that what she was doing was illegal.
The show puts for a lot of cartoonishness and taking some random scenes with cows outside of the farm is hardly proof. If Equestria's cows were considered intelligent, they wouldn't be in a pen/barn. Even if they wanted to live a different lifestyle as you so claim, then they would at least live free somewhere else like the buffalo.
I did actually read the chapters thank you very much, but your levity does bring up a point. Given how acutely aware Twilight is about being in a different world, and didn't freak at eating squirrel, there's stands little reason as to why she would have a conniption over eating beef at in the first place. Given Applejack's presence in EQG, Twilight should have known that the human world/s have only one sapient species, and that human-world cows are just animals. (Once again, assuming the author subscribes to your... reasoning with pony-world cows.)
Even without visiting human AJ's farm, her natural curiosity would have led her to ask why are there only humans? Twilight should have known ahead of time that human-world cows are just animals, and nothing more.
You speak of keeping an open mind, and yet you're totally closed to the idea that the writers had talking cows for any reason other than cartoon humor.
I wonder what Spike will be? Deathclaw or Nightstalker...
6760823 Actually Superdale33 is my editor. And yes, you both bring valid points about the Equestria Girls world, but we simply do not have decisive information that proves or disproves that the Humans in Equestria Girls are vegan or not. Even with the picture of the burger in the school cafeteria, we have no idea if it is actually meat. There is an entire bounty of meat-substitutes in real life such as soy, tofu, and others that have been shaped to resemble the look, taste, and texture of meat.
Given that, we can debate until the sun goes down that the Humans in Equestria Girls eat meat. As the writer of this work of fiction, I shall answer from my perspective. That is, the food in Equestria Girls is vegan friendly. So coming into the Fallout world, Twilight has never eaten meat before. She has, however, encountered meat substitutes during her time in the EG world. I shall be sure to bring that up in a later chapter, perhaps even the next one.
With that resolved, on to the next point. Twilight responded harshly over the fact she ate beef, because in the version of Equestria I am basing my story off of is based on what the show gives us. Cartoon humor or not, cows are intelligent in this version of Equestria. Yes, it seems absurd, but that's what the show depicts. Twilight thought she ate another thinking creature. In one episode Twilight even speaks to a cow, if memory serves correct.
Considering how much of the show's canon is left to our interpretation, we all have wildly varying ideas of how the Pony world works. With that said, calling someone closed minded at the first sign they disagree with your perception of canon is just as absurd as arguing over weather or not cartoon characters eat meat. (Yes, I'm looking at you Superdale33).
I appreciate you feedback and will seek to resolve your concerns in future chapters.
6760823 Oh my gosh, I can only laugh at your reply!
Seriously, you really need to keep an open mind. Which means allowing certain things to pass for the sake of the story. In this case, cows are intelligent, doesn't matter if it was for cartoon humor or not. The cartoon showed them as intelligent and so does this story. You have to accept it. That's keeping an open mind. If one story has Pinkie Pie breaking the forth wall, do you argue that the show was only trying to be funny and should not be anywhere at all? No, cause it's Pinkie Pie and we allow it because the show allows it. That's keeping an open mind.
At one point, I could barely read other stories cause they didn't follow how I envisioned Equestria, but I just learned to accept it. And that is keeping an open mind.
So...
Good news: the others are alive.
Bad news: who's to know what'll happen before they reunite.
that can not be good.... flutters in powerarmor with iron wills lessons
6760779 On the other hand, I'd like to see how they try to handle Pinkie
so, initiate fluttershy. i wonder what Sarah thinks about that.
How in the world did Fluttersky get into the Brotherhood, Rainbow I could see well unless they use Fluttershy as a scout because of her wings that would make sense to me. I have to wonder where the others ended up, maybe one with the Rangers? It would allow them to cover ground, learn the lay of the land and search for their friends for some reason I see Pinkie best for that group.
Maybe Rarity got a job in Steel Port at a merchant stand with clothing I can see her working her magic there. Not sure on Applejack and Rainbow at the moment. Although I hope you have Three Dog come on the radio at one point about a strange scaly fire breathing creature people have seen for Spike. (not sure if Geckos were in F3 or just New Vegas but I could see people thinking him some strange Gecko creature)
6779661 Twilight learns how Fluttershy managed to pull it off later. Also, Spike is compared more to a Deathclaw than anything else.
6779661
Fluttershy has used Power Armor before, granted it wasn't for very long but still.
6800589 Technically when she did use that earlier in the story it should have sent her to the hospital as you are supposed to get training before you use it as without training people tend to get messed up from the enhanced strength. Plus that was ponyversion of that armor, it's not like the BOS will have any suits designed for her.
6800682
I think with the exo-suits you don't need training. Or at least that's my theory. After all, Nora (Female Sole Survivor) was able to use power armor and she wasn't in the armor.
6800702 yeah that part of the game I always thought was a plot hole they forgot about as Fallout 4 does have some lore inconsistencies.
6802502 Personally, I'm using the Fallout 4 style power armor. It does not need power armor training, as you can find Raiders wearing suits of it.
6804079 Yeah I always just assumed since the raiders that wore Power Armor their armor looked so crappy and stuff that it wasn't fully functional as a way to explain the change for myself.
Oh man. She is lucky she ain't in Germany. Ringing the bell at the bar means you want to buy the next round for everyone. Doesn't matter if you are aware or not.
6804079
new to this fic as for the end of this chapter will twilight reunite with her friends at some point cause ive read fallout girls so im wondering if a similar plot of twilight and her friends with twilights human friend will try to find a way home
6760779
Oh, that should be fun.
Sounds like Sarah fell for Flutter's puppy eye
