* YouKeepUsingThatWord: "Buck" almost completely replaces "stallion" for an adult male Pony. While it is a proper term for quite a few male animals[[note]]including but not limited to: deer, antelope, kangaroos, goats, rabbits, gerbils, weasels and even mice[[/note]], it is not a generic term for "male animal" and does not apply to horses.

** [[ThePollyanna Ditzy Doo to Moria Brown]].

* AIIsACrapshoot: The AI in [[spoiler:Stable 29]] which killed the population off slowly, trying to make up for a deteriorating water talisman, and to 'preserve pony life'.

Outside, she must learn to survive in a blasted, poisoned land... And possibly, with the aid of friends made along the way, bring new light into the darkness of the Equestrian Wasteland.

* AudioAdaptation: There is an audiobook project currently underway, with the author's blessing. New chapters are published (and available for download) on the overly-ambitious narrator's [[http://www.youtube.com/user/Scorch238 youtube page.]]
** [[https://www.youtube.com/user/EBC1Productions There is a full radio drama of the fanfic currently underway as well,]] courtesy of a nascent fan production group that calls itself the Equestrian Broadcasting Company.

* YouWillBeAssimilated: The alicorns and the Goddess.

* EverythingTryingToKillYou: The Everfree Forest in the show was already a wild, dangerous place populated with [[DungeonsAndDragons D&D]] monsters. In ''FO:E'' it's mutated into a honest-to-Celestia [[DeathWorld patch of instant death]]. [[spoiler:And it's on fire when Lil'Pip and co. visit.]]

* BlackAndGreyMorality: The quality of the protagonists' moral compasses is disputable, yet they can still be considered knights in shining armor compared to the enemies they fight.
** This is a valid subjective interpretation of the morality presented within the story. The merits and flaws of this viewpoint have been extensively debated in the story's associated TV Tropes forum thread, as well as in the [[http://www.fimfiction.net/blog/297594/on-heroes-violence "On Heroes & Violence"]] blog article by the author, and between two TV tropes liveblogs [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/lb_i.php?lb_id=13546603580B02680100 here]] and [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/lb_i.php?lb_id=13398853770B89940100 here]].

*** Part of it is alleviated, though, with a discussion with [[spoiler:the Albino Hellhound. "The Splendid Valley pack declared themselves at war with ponies. When you're at war, you don't git tu complain when the enemy kills you. Uh don't blame you fur them." The only real problem he has with Littlepip is her inability (or unwillingness) to spare or rescue territorial yet neutral packs like the ones at Ghost Farm.]]

* TheWikiRule: [[http://falloutequestria.wikia.com/wiki/Fallout:_Equestria_Wiki Here, needs love.]]

** [[spoiler: The SSP Crusader mainframe is one for Celestia.]]

* DeusEstMachina: [[spoiler:Celestia puts herself in a SoulJar so she can ensure no one misuses the Single Pegasus Project, even if her body dies.]] It works, but she spends the next 200 years watching senseless death and pain throughout the Wasteland.

* {{Expy}}: To be expected, since the story is based off VideoGame/{{Fallout 3}}'s. Though usually very loosely (ex. Ditzy has already finished the Guide and is over 200 years old).

** Pretty much the entire cast of ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic.'' If the war didn't kill them, the two centuries in between the war and the events of the story did. The only known exceptions to this rule are Ditzy Doo, [[spoiler: Spike and Star Sparkle, Twilight's mother]].

** Both of those are blown away by Littlepip's plan to take down the Goddess. [[spoiler: The Goddess can read minds, so she forms a plan to sneak a balefire bomb into their lair, telling everyone involved their part to play and nothing else, and then has her own memory removed (and stored) so that nobody knows enough to stop them. Then she leaves notes behind to manipulate herself into doing her part. Yes, she pulled a Batman Gambit on herself.]]

* BookEnds: [[spoiler: If I’m going to tell you about the adventure of my life -- explain how I got to this place with these people, and why I did what I’m going to do next -- I should probably start by explaining a little bit about PipBucks.]]

* BlackAndGreyMorality: The protagonsists' moral compasses are fucked up at best, yet can be considered knights in shining armor compared to the enemies they fight.
