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'.
Vira got the basic gist by listening to Kelpie's thoughts, finding the arcane and mysterious process of hacking a terminal easier to understand as Kelpie tapped her chin in thought and glanced at the portrait on the floor. She didn't get the technology very well, but Vira liked the psychological aspect of the process. It was figuring out what the long dead pony would pick as a password, something personal to them that others wouldn't know easily.
At times I wish it was like this in the game where you might find clues to the answer. Or if there is I've never seen it.
Her own thoughts of the gruff old stallion and synth detective she'd left behind there joined Kelpie's, realizing the word resonated with her for the first time since her mother died and Maripony had burned at the Destroyer's hoof. It wasn't the place itself, it was the ponies waiting there that made it home, as much as Trinity Tower and her waiting sisters there... Vira had a home...
I just couldn't help but think of this
"Longfellow... it's alright... You have to let go... It will be ok... I love you..."
I'm sure it was not intended but I instantly thought of a similar moment in Avengers Endgame. Involving a certain Widow. Glad this went a very different direction
Yay!!! Another installment of Fog Harbor! Vira is growing up fast, and seems to have a 'thing' for the old buck. I guess the feeling is mutual, even if he don't want to show it. Now when she learns there is a potion to make a normal stallion compatible with Alicorns, she'll be set. But by that time, she might even be 'over' her crush on Fast. Now to check if there is an update to Fast Time's story. Keep it up! Loving the story so far. the Frank Pony
"Leave my filly alone ya nasty fog brain!" A gruff shout echoed in the large chamber, followed by a loud blast of a rifle hammering Dragonslayer's Miretank breastplate, knocking him back as all eyes turned up to the furious old stallion who'd fired.
He was seeking out Dragonslayer between well placed shots, still apoplectic over finding the slimy buck pawing at 'his filly', he said that... he thought that... Vira was his little filly in his mind, he failed to save one daughter, but now he was getting a second chance and would die fighting these disgusting Trappers if that's what it took. His wonderful caring emotion helping Vira stagger after Kelpie meeting Jar Head in a rushed embrace, the three of them quickly heading for the door Nick defended and the way out flashing in his synthetic mind.
"I am not fat... I am not fat... I am NOT fat..." Vira muttered sourly to herself at every creak and groan, but kept her eyes on Longfellows grey tail and put one hoof in front of the other.
It feels like this is the 40th time she said that.
"Who took this fortress and killed old Fogscale single-hooved!?" The leader shouted again, still wearing that smarmy look and tossing back his bedraggled green mane.
I somehow don't belive this guy managed that, especially not single-hooved
It was what she got out of his diseased brain that really made Vira pause. Everything he said were lies... First of all, Vira knew that Longfellow was the best hunter on the island, this crazed fool wasn't half his measure. Secondly, his bragging over the well practiced story about slaying the dragon and taking over the Zip! Factory that Vira heard flashing in his mind wasn't the truth either.
Shocker
The impact dazed her and ended any more attempts at mental manipulation. The damage was done though, Vira gave a hard grin as all the expectant faces of the Trappers holding her down turned confused at their leader wilting away and turning redder behind her. Blood ran down from her mane and squinted one green eye closed, but it was worth it to shut off certain active signals from what passed for Dragonslayer's brain. No matter what happened, Vira quite doubted he'd be up to tormenting any other victims that way for a long while, if ever...
"You're no dragon slayer..." The ugly puice Trapper mare standing beside him suddenly spoke up, her eyes glowing green as she casually turned to the stunned Trapper leader and spoke in a dreamy voice.
Flapping sedately above it all, Vira's lidded eyes flicked over the frozen buck and she smirked. "A very small stallion indeed... aren't you, Mittens isn't it? Knit Mittens? Such a cute name to go with a wimpering little colt like you."
It just had to be a vat of the captain's blend, huh? Someone is going to be stinking for a while, haha
This chapter was awesome, thanks!
Also, I'm loving how you are continuing to make them little perk pictures on this story too

I agree with the little pipbuck/mare picks at the end they are great
At times I wish it was like this in the game where you might find clues to the answer. Or if there is I've never seen it.
Anyone else actually like this version of far harbor better then the actual dlc?
Because I for one do!
I just couldn't help but think of this
I'm sure it was not intended but I instantly thought of a similar moment in Avengers Endgame. Involving a certain Widow.
Glad this went a very different direction
A dragon as a Behemoth replacement?
Nice

Is this from when Twilight opened that friendship school?
I love this!
Beautiful reading this. Vira has a Dad now.
It feels like this is the 40th time she said that.
So cool. Mittens is such a wimp.
I somehow don't belive this guy managed that, especially not single-hooved
Shocker
