If reconciliation is absolutely, truly, the farthest thing from possible, then maybe, just maybe, living well is the best revenge.
This story is based on Shinodage's AU and ask blog, Delta Vee's Junkyard. All credit for characters and settings goes to him.

Gut-wrenching but accurate look at what often happens to the kids.

That's what I find so captivating about the comic. It feels so real, it tackles a real topic.
this is a good start for Delta but this is going to be the hardest job she has even tryed.
Keep ‘em coming!

My inner gamer and writer have been jockeying for position ever since Division 2 came out.
9510419
Division 2?
(Google)
Ah! Makes sense. I’m old enough I played Rainbow Six in CDROM in undergrad, but I’m way out of the loop now.
While personally I would love to see the whole family back together again, I really like the advise and suggestion that Apogee gave her mother and would love to see what becomes of it.
this story is looking super good do keep up the good righting.
9512652
Yeah. I know Apogee wants the white picket fence and the whole nine yards, but Jet and Delta getting back together is just not a possibility that I see, if Shino sticks to how real this comic feels.
Loving this so far
This is so sweet so far and once again realistic, I'm looking forward the next chapter. keep up the good work
9517887
I'm flattered!
It's been years since a fan AU has captivated me like this. Can't wait to see where you take the comic!
a super good story that is shaping up rather well.
I love the symbolism that Delta's glasses had in the original comic and in this chapter of the story. After throwing her glasses during her argument with Jet, one in which she had every right to be angry, she lost some clarity in her life both literally and figuratively. Now, here, after getting the glasses (presumably from Apogee) and putting them on, it was returning to her life and she was taking steps to better her life.
I am REALLY loving how this story is going, and how it draws from the comics.
9520772
Oh whoops, that is a detail I overlooked
She bought them herself, that was the 50% sale sign she saw on her way home.
Very well done.
I salute your skill!
I feel her!
I lost my glasses between Aachen Hauptbahnhof and my hotel one time.
It was also the best week of eating of my life.
Does that mean food in Germany is that much better than in the US?
Or does it mean that I’m better at ordering food when I can’t read the explitive-deleted menu?
Either way: I now carry spare glasses.
Of course the new flat screen TV is the first thing Apogee notices!
My heart!
I love the fact that both Delta Vee and Apogee are pyromaniacs and it's funny that they're getting the same feeling for the pressure washer. I can just imagine them going to town having fun using that washer on different things. Maybe spraying Jet with the jet spray?
I seriously had to do a bit of a double take at the end there (it was a bit abrupt, honestly). However, I like that it ended there and that Delta's feelings about Jet haven't suddenly changed while she's become more open to being Apogee's mom. Great story, overall!

Depending on the PSI, you really don't fuck around with most pressure washers. Those things can break several layers of skin, and if water enters under your skin at those speeds, you're talking surgery or worse.
So my point is... Yeah, Delta would most likely chase Jet around the lot with it.
Wow! Thanks for this. The scene in the comic woth “Mom... why do you hate me?” broke my heart. Thanks for doing right be Delta and Apogee.
Aaaa my heart
Reading these almost-daily updates feels like watching delta heal in real time, like checking up on her every day
9523687
this is a totally amazing short story i love it.
and a word of warning i am vary sure i will not be the only pony bugging you about a sequel.
When you dug yourself so down a hole. The only direction left to go is up. Nicely done story. Love the advice the kid makes to Delta. Great words to live by.
9527854
Thanks for reading, glad you enjoyed.
If you haven't yet, you should check out the comic.
9527860
Yeah I did. Had a laugh at the one you put in your blogpost
Nice to see glasses being portrayed as shaving some years off rather than putting them on. It's a real thing, but it's not something you see in most media.
Nice story. It fleshes out the world quite well. That bit about the hug really got me.
9555076
Thanks for reading! I'm currently brainstorming a sequel.
9555079
Looking forward to it.
I know of the comic but I feel like I came in the middle of a story here. Delta's epiphany and subsequent steps for change was a satisfying read though. Thanks for creating and sharing.
9562169
That's the way I purposely wrote it; it is the middle of the story. It picks up from a point in the comic and branches off from there.
9562927
Ah well, Success!

Thanks for reading!
The idea of Delta wearing her glasses again actually inspired me to sketch this little thing.

Lovely!
Yeah, Delta waste herself in the junkyard makes more sense compared to B-Perry's version where she became homeless in Manehatten. Such a genius and engineer shouldn't be, even when there's no aerospace field for her to work in.
I've never knew that reading plot of Delta cleaning her place would be an entertainment too...
10115586
Very nice drawing, sure as I'm a brony, Delta Vee looks a whole lot better with her glasses, and I am loving the symbolism.
10372164
Didn't B-Perry also place DV in a junkyard?
The ending of Savior indicates on the end, DV's soon to be ''junkyard enterprise''.
The follow-up Concessions , sets place in DV's junkyard too...
As far as I know is that B-Perry made some extra backstory, for the time between the breakup and her junkyard setting.
10479940
Yeah Savior's ending got connected to the comic, and the plot of "homeless Delta in Manehatten" is indeed quite strong, but I am just not so sure about it: in the comic there's a poster of space shuttle in Delta's trailer, it's kinda weird if ponies' technology got that far and you can't even find an airline company outside Las Pegasus...
Hello again, I am thinking about a translation for this too (the work for Repair Attamps were done some months ago). Does "good times" means beer, and "hangovers" means strong alcohol? Did a check on alcohol slang terms but didn't find any usage on these two...
10633339
No, in this case it means one night stands, sex, etc.
10633393
Ohh, so the sentence means "enough bottles from 12 one night stands and getting hangover for 6 times"?
10636011
It may not be a sentence that translates all that well.
10636288
Hmm, is the interpretation in my last comment right? Would need to know the meaning at least, whether wording it decently in Chinese possible or not...
10636333
The number isn't really important. The bottles are from her sleeping around, going to bars and bringing stallions home for sex.
10636351
I see, thanks, will try to work out some equivalent expression :3
