Sidestory to Fallout Equestria: Commonwealth. A wounded alicorn washes up on the shores of mysterious Fog Harbor, suffering a crisis of faith and implored to 'Be Better'.
Just out of random curiosity (I'm not reading this yet because I'm not caught up on the main fic), are you doing anything similar with Automatron and Nuka-World?
8166580 Covering Nuka-World (Sparkle World) definitely, probably in the main story, like that dlc the best. Left hooks for Automatron in the main too, but it can go either way.
8166654 8167309 Oh I really liked Far Harbor, lot of missed opportunities though, was hoping for more of the creepy Lovecraftian vibe like the quests in FO3 concerning the 'black book', a lot of threads kind of fell flat when they had so much potential. Have to play through it fresh again before continuing, but why I started with it and used a fresh story for it, it deserves fully exploring and tinkering with on its own, in some areas I'd put it above Nuka World actually. A close call on personal preference between the two, so looking forward to playing with it here, just trying not to get too distracted from the main story.
Of course it was only natural for such a puny and weak pony to be intimidated in the presence of the mother's perfect form, her every glorious inch was a testament to the power and majesty of the superior species of... No... 'Be Better Virescent'. Fast's worried plea was annoying all right, but forced her to try adjusting her thinking. She was bigger and stronger than the old buck, not better. She had needed his help after all, and he had given it for some reason.
Excuse me for a moment ........ YES YES YES FINALLY, she is finally starting to understand that being more powerful does not mean that you are "better" than others, it just means that you can do more things
The burly, bigger buck thrust his chest forward to shove at Longfellow, who may be old but seemed to be carved of Stubbornonium, not giving an inch to the stallion.
Stubbornonium huh, i guess he has some apple in his blood (since they have a monopoly on the metal)
She wanted to toy with him... stomp forward and watch him skitter back in fear, push him around as he had pushed so many others by his memories, maybe sit on him... That was probably wrong though... good ponies didn't torment others, even if they deserved it. On further reflection, she didn't want to draw attention to herself here either, better to just get rid of them quietly...
Excuse me for just one more moment ........... YES YES YES GROWTH, GLORIOUS GROWTH WOOOOOOHHH
"I... I don't want to change merely because of one stallion though, it's just another reason. It's not merely to 'get in his pants', he also told me the truth, tried to help me, cared about me... He made me realize I've done wrong, been u-used by evil ponies for wicked deeds, and that not all ponies are bad like them, that some are good like you and... deserve a chance, could even be my friends.
Do i even have to say it at this point ...... Growth
Longfellow worked her hard, but didn't ask anything he didn't do himself, without all her obvious advantages over the smaller earth pony. Watching him easily manage chores that frustrated her just added to the idea slowly seeping in, she wasn't automatically superior to normal ponies...
I am going to keep it simple from now on .....
Sending the rugs and curtains out the window to shake vigorously in her magic, Virescent floated the tiny statue up to her eyes and glowered at it. "This is all your fault... why couldn't you just cooperate and do your job? Why do I have to jump through hoops to mate? Act how you want just for you to care about me?"
'Be Better Virescent...'
Her own little statuette.... how nice , and with the echos of his mind it might actually work a bit like the statuetts we know of
Do they teach classes on being preachy agents of chaos?
Ok serious time I really like Vira's (great nickname) growth and how you handled it, and i would personally really like to see more of this every now and then
And in case my previous comment did not make it obvious, i really liked how she finally understood that she is not inherently "better" then others just because she is an alicorn Ps. love how you made her focus so much on what Ivy told her about having a big flank
First haw yeah, Virescent redemption fic ! Second : oh, she get he own Pip... if she get quest notifications, effectively she will have something to talk about with Fast ! XD Would be fun if she ever come back in the Main Story, after this DLC story, that if she joins the Team Fast, Fast and her bicker because of conflicting quests... XD

Her long horn lit up brightly and she waved a hoof before their stunned, upturned faces, using a simple alicorn mind trick to plant a suggestion in rather simple minds to begin with. "You decided you didn't want these condenser things after all."
"Didn't want 'em after all..." All three chorused back, a green glow lighting their eyes while she had them.
"You don't want to bother Longfellow anymore."
"Don't want to bother..."
"You were never here and certainly never saw me, did you?"
"Never here, never saw anyone..."
Nodding to herself with satisfaction, Virescent finished with "Go Home." in a deep, rumbling growl and turned back to the barn, flopping down tiredly as the three uninvited guests marched off obediently.
This made me think of this⬇
Once again late on following another story but I hope to catch up soon
I am curious if Nick will be in this story, he was somewhat pivotal to the story unless you are planning some major/minor differences. Guess I'll half to read further to find out.
Dang it, now you made me not only like Vira but care about her. Great start to this story, I am looking forward to more of it. I also like the character Longfellow. He seems like an interesting pony and a good first friend for her.

8166624 Ah, nice, personally I prefer Far Harbor over Nuka-World, but that's just me.
I actually plan to cover all three in my own fanfics, I look forward to reading your fics eventually and see how you approach them.

Its not just you, i like it due to it bordering the supernatural (why do you tease me so Fallout 4)
But the feeling of an island wrapped in fog just feels so mysterious and that draws me in (and teases my desire for the weird and the strange)

Nope, definitely not fat
Gavin just gotten to the last chapter of the main story, I am very glad to see there is more to read

Very well done. Love the character growth of our mad priestest
Fantastic story! Vira is doing better!
True, but when you succeed, it can be quite rewarding
And then some of them act in a way that contridic those thoughts... being a mind reader must be so confusing at times
