This story is a sequel to Waiving Wanderer, Wonderous World
You are a pegasus stallion, who is now living in the Ashen Wasteland with a monstrous mare, Runt. Seeking out other civilized ponies in the post-apocalyptic world, you've followed Oracle's directions and have located the town of Bite Apple. Aside from the corpses of various raider groups being littered about, the town seems to be fairly peaceful.
However, when a group of raiders known as the Disk Reapers assault the town and take the town's tribute, Runt's monstrous identity is exposed and now both of you must work with a local bounty hunter to retrieve the tribute or face the chopping block.
This story takes place in a post-apocalyptic version of my Monster Mares and You verse.

This story was featured on 10/12-13/2022. Thank you all so much for your kindness and your views. 
first, also this was great looking forward to more
one thing though: I would expect the people to talk in slang and stuff like that
WHAT?!? Why are spoons this valuable?
11391454 It's more the fact that his spoon is in such good condition as opposed to most of the others found in the wasteland. If that makes sense.
IIn startng to enjoy this Fallout lite story, and hoping we'll eventually come across the reasoning for the monsters arrival.
Let me get this straight Midnight, you and your sister decided to go out and murder an Ash Lurker, probably a youngling, and you hate them because your sister died in the process... did I get that about right? Cuz from where I'm standing it sounds like your half baked plan got your sister killed, and Runt has more a reason to hate you now than before.
P.S. new plushie for Runt ...

11392723 Well this is a sark apocalypse side series to my Monster Mares and You verse, so there may be some more answers there.
11392742 I mean people have wanted vengeance for dumber reasons.

Ah thanks, Ill give them a look.
I was half hoping that Snugglefeather would have followed our main dude; you kept his name hidden for so long, well done!
I am really curious to see where this potential series will go
11395650 Snugglefeather? Who's Snugglefeather?
You may have to remind me, it's been a while.
11395650 Okay, I remember mister Snugglefeather. He's not in this story, but that isn't to say that he won't be in any future ones.
that was something. It went a bit faster than what I expected but I still liked it. Would like to see more in the future
Good story! I got my kicks and laughs from the twists sprinkled throughout the tale.
is the continuation of this going to be it's own mini-story aswell or after this will you continue with a full novel?
11397954 Probably another short story. What I've learned is that when I try to write long fics, unless I write it all and then release it, after a while I have difficulty finishing it. However, longfics take a really long time to write, so when I do get around to continuing this it would take much longer... if it wasn't a shortfic. If that makes sense.
Now if you want to see some stories that take place in the base MLP universe, there are some other stories as well that I've written that you can look at.
What is the equivalent of the Ash Hopper? I keep imagining it is a motorbike with a passenger pod.
I'd imagine Runt would want to own all kinds of mobile fortress, land, sea, and air! A train, a blimp, that spaceship, maybe even a Tardis if you decide to sprinkle a bit of Doctor Who!
11398245 Well, it's basically supposed to be a boat like vehicle that uses technology to fly over the ash.
I always forget that all your stories are kinda interconnected and every time I see it I lose my shit.
Anyway I do enjoy these 2 and the setting
would always love to see more.

11398806 Yeah, I like linking things together and making references. It's fun.
god this story is really cute and i love it. keep up the good work
My Little Reviews & Feedback I did your review.
I've been eagerly waiting to see more of Runt since I first read Waiving Wanderer (and hoping that she wasn't a one-off), so I was thrilled to find this fic in your library. And I thoroughly enjoyed it! I was a little disappointed at the relative lack of interaction with Runt, especially in the first chapter, and how robotic the protagonist was behaving were at the end, but it was still super fun to read. Great job, as always.
11420362 I didn't realize that the protagonist felt that robotic. Could you provide me with some insight on the matter?

Hey, sorry for the late reply, but I'd say the part where Apple Crisp was talking about Runt felt... a bit impersonal? It just feels odd that the protag doesn't have much reaction to what she's saying, given the immediate circumstances. I can't describe exactly why it feels that way, unfortunately. In any case, can't wait for the next Runt fic :)
I'm a simple guy, I see a good story. I like and fave it.
