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.

Not sure how I feel about this chapter.
Yaa new small chapter! It will tide us over till we get more!
I don't believe I'd ever heard of Letterkenny before, but I still enjoyed the chapter. :)
Is anyone else completely lost on wtf is going on? I have been so confused for about...6 chapters on where the hell the story went.
I don't know if I want to read this story! It looks interesting, but Project Horizons was one of my least favorite stories on this site, and it made me too afraid to read Murky Number Seven for YEARS.
I spent an entire blog post talking about why Project Horizons didn't work for me, and now I hear about this story, and I don't know if I should go ahead and read it or just let it go!
SOMEBODY GIVE ME A REASON TO BELIEVE IN THIS STORY!!!!
P-please.... tell me this one does better.... Oh look, a Blackjack reference.... I honestly was not intending that.
*squeaks*

Do eet.

I swear I'll get it back on track in 20. I promise!

1. I'm not Somber. No offense to Somber, but he and I are very different people.
2. I started this off as a slice of life and have... tried to keep it that way. There's a lot of drama and tears, but I have tried very hard to keep the reader trauma to a minimum.
3. If you can get past chapter 5, then you're probably golden. If not, that's okay too. Fallout Equestria is a weird little world to write in, and I admit that, despite taking an unusual take on it and trying to inject more friendship into it, I can get caught up in the drama a fair bit. And to be real, not every story is for everyone.
If you want to give it a read, I'm honoured. If not, I completely understand. I'll never hold that against anyone for not reading my stuff. Sometimes it just doesn't work out for folks. And that's okay. Everyone has different tastes, and there's nothing wrong with biting into something and going 'welp, I really tried this no-thank-you bite, but it's still gross.'

you should read it, speak is awesome and not so much "hardcore" then most other falloutEQ story's
like we learned, don't judge a book by its cover ;)
as for murky number seven. one of my favorites, read it with caution.
its at times a bit grafic if i remember right, and you might cry a bit here and there.
i tray'd reading horizon's a second/third time but could not get past some (really sad) moment's myself, i give somber congrats for awesome writing there^^ love project horizons non the less.
9854781
funny chapter ^^ so threnody has a problem with digesting fiber/oats xD
did i get that right. the wolf's are a bit scared of bubblegum ? xD
9854825
Oh, I already read Murky Number Seven. I just needed to break down the hesitation caused by me being disappointed by Project Horizons. And once I finished reading MN7, I found that I thought of it as Project Horizons done right. Again, that's on my blog, if you wanted to know my full thoughts on that.

So, this is maybe closer in tone to Pink Eyes? Not necessarily goofy or cutesy, but focusing less on moral dilemmas and the like, and more on the characters and interactions?
This was a delightfully silly chapter. It's perfect.
9855140
Yes! I... wanted to write a character piece. I just set it in the wasteland cause... I'm dumb. XD But I mean, much like the recent chapter, I try to balance the drama with some goofiness. Like having a chapter dedicated to alicorn fart jokes.
9855160
i still lough about that one xD "carpet bombing the mountainside" lol

At the end of the day you have to decide for yourself whether or not you want to give this story a try. All we can do, is giving you advices. My suggestion is to read maybe the first two or three chapter and see for yourself if you like it or not.
So I checked your blogs (you’re welcome ) and try to give you a few, hopefully helpful, answers.
Multiple plot points that are either unnecessary or idiotic: Can’t honestly say much about that. What I can say is that the main reason why the characters go on an adventure is quickly shoved aside for a “random side quest”. But don’t get me wrong, it’s an interesting “random side quest” which gets tied to the protagonist’s backstory. Just don’t expect the original main quest to be solved anytime in the near future.
Connecting itself to the original story too much: Not the case. There are a few cameos in chapter 6, but that’s about it. The main character is also a member of the Followers but Velvet has only been names dropped and all the other Followers in the story seem to be new characters.
Don’t care about the characters: I haven’t read Project Horizons, so I can’t really say how different Blackjack is in this story. Personally I really like her. At the beginning of the story she’s pretty moody, but gets better over the course of the next few chapters. She acts more mature and supportive of the main character, while also teasing her or making a quip. Of course, deep down she’s still a broken mare, so don’t expect her to be happy and funny all the time.
Threnody, the main character, is also very likeable. She has plenty of funny moments, like her confused feelings for Blackjack or her obsessive love for Sparkle-Cola Cherry, but she’s not Deadpool either and she carries her own emotional baggage, too.
Again: You have to read the story for yourself and see if like the characters or not.

This right here is exactly what I needed.
*exhale* Alright. Let's see what this is all about.
This chapter was the literary pinnacle of Fallout Equestria! How could it not be, with those Letterkenny references?
I had absolutely no problem reading this word. It slid through my mind like water.
I'm not sure how I feel about that.
may i ask where are you from heartshine? idk why im asking that, but i couldn't find it anywhere :/ sorry
9856235
Michigan. I presently live in Oregon, but I spent several years in Kentucky.
DONG DONG!
This pretty much sums up my own feelings about this chapter. It was.. interesting learning about life in the stable from an idiot who has no idea what he's doing or saying.
Dammit Threnody, why didn't you get Solidarity, Hyacinth or Puddle Smasher to interview on tape?
Even Blackjack would have given a better appraisal and account of the Stable, if she wasn't still unconscious from this idiot's previous rampage.
9856573
This chapter was condensed insanity at 5am. If that... explains anything.
Oh Bubblegum
Ok, I admit it: I don’t get the joke because I don’t know what Letterkenny is.
This chapter basically confirms that Bubblegum has a Charisma of 10. All they have to do to defeat The Family without any blood sheet, is to cover him in body oil and sent him into Seattle without any cloths. After five minutes most of the mares and quite a few stallions will have reconsidered their opinions on Unicorn supremacy and selective breeding programs.
Stable 9 is an okay place to live. As I said before, it’s nice to have place that isn’t horrible and where ponies actually get along once in a while. Especially if it’s a Stable, because somehow people seem to compare them with the Vaults from Fallout and assume that the Stable were just as horrible, when in reality they were designed to save lives.
I’m surprised that the Stable hasn’t enforced a rule that limits the length of their antlers. Bubblegum has a point when he considered them a huge safety hazard, especially during emergencies. I would imagine even the deer bucks would eventually realize that having large antlers is no fun,when every door in the stable becomes an obstacle.
Overall, it was fun the see Bubblegum acting passive-aggressive and doing a half-assed job because it forced it onto him.
No don’t do it, Thren! Don’t hurt his precious ass! And think about how angry Glitter will get!
Speaking of her, I hope she never finds out that all these stable ponies are eyeing “her” Bubblegum.

"Sweet Celestia, they killed Blackjack!"
"You Bastards!"
Okay I‘ m currently reading Homelands and Pythia talking about Blackjack being cursed by spirits and thus being unable to die, reminds me a lot of Kenny’s backstory.
Never heard of Kenny letters is it safe to Google at work?
Celestia help if they ever figure out how to weaponize Bubblegum's sexiness.
9856641
Yeah that would explain it.
Holy hot damn, Heartshine, you made my bloody week, sides completely destroyed, in tears from laughter. Never thought that I would see something akin to Letterkenny here
Great chapter there, pardner! My jaw did a 360 no-scope in my mouth while reading this, and I'm NoT cErTaIn HoW I FeEl AbOuT tHaT. XD
Can't wait for the next one! ^^
Fun fact: Bubbles has never had marionberry pie or blueberry pancakes because he hates putting fruit in anything that isn't fruit salad.
I loved it. Read it in my lunch at work and was laughing out loud. My brother introduced me to Letterkenny and having been raised in Michigan I love the humor. Well best get going, pitter patter up and atter.
I bet the writer heartshine has a goofy grin everytime she reads this
Hertshine, you is THE therapy horse
Therapy horse!
9854745
Fanfics cannot hurt you, they are not real
Right?
9854795
I wished that there was more traumatic events, it was why blackjacks story and threnody story pulled my heartstrings
9855160
I always thought it was about exploring how you could reform blackjack after the events on project horizons by being a part of her life
9868308
Aren't they emotionally damaged enough as-is? I don't think on-screen trauma would add anything to the story except act as a "fuck you" to the reader or as shock value.
9868663
The writer always says that she is "toning it down" on the drama
But this is what i like most on both stories,
Its not about making it worse, but to showcase the tough parts more
I like it because it maes me feel for pony
I gotta re-read this whole story again, cause I'm having trouble placing this chapter where it's supposed to go. I can't recall BG asking Threnody for help, and it's not a dream chapter like the other 2; if it's just a one-off thing, I think I get it... but I don't know how to feel about that. XD
I didn't watch letterkenny, but now I have a good idea...
...and I'm not sure how I feel about it.
(He wasn't first who adopted such style, just others fades into the abyss of pre-digital era)
Зы. Why chapters can't be liked separately?
9878240
As I said I just got through reading the whole thing last month and I never once caught a single reference to changelings. Goldenblood only mentioned Cadence and the Crystal Empire once. Are you sure changelings were mentioned?
Maybe I just missed it?
I dunno, updates hooray! But this was definitely a bit of a weird one. Hopefully things get to settle in for a bit more of slice of life. You do some WONDERFUL slice of life bits.
Don't get me wrong, I enjoy the angst and misery and action as much as any FO:E addict, but I'm crossing my fingers for some peaceful time in Stable 9. And maybe some answers about Silvia. Which reminds me, I need to finish some of Admiral Biscuit's stories.
So, does this mean we need to add 'Letterkenny crossover' to the tags list?
...Okay, this somehow only just hit me, being as I've been fans of both stories for a while, but I realized that there are in fact two Fallout fanfics I read with main characters named Threnody.
I'm really surprised my brain somehow never made that connection before. Though I assume it's either a coincidence or something about the name's meaning.
(The other one's A Dead World, which has my recommendation for those who might be interested in the content.)
(While I'm here:
9883692
I think I recall an implication of their presence at one point, during discussion of some security arrangements, but the source I used to use to search the whole story at once isn't working at the moment (and possibly hasn't been for a while and won't be again, for all I know). So I'm not sure; I don't recall enough context to do a more focussed search.)
#when ur visiting fimfiction twice a day only to check if there's new chapter of FoE: PHs or blog from heartshine or at least some info about it.. ugh.
;D
