is an ongoing crossover fanfic between My Little Pony: Equestria Girls and Fallout 3, written by Universal Librarian.A few months after the events of My Little Pony: Equestria Girls – Forgotten Friendship, Sunset Shimmer and the rest of the Rainbooms, with some help from Princess Twilight, finish constructing the Geode Diviner, a machine based on the Crystal Portal and connected to the Rainbooms’ geodes and designed to detect and locate Equestrian magic loose in their world.
Unfortunately, when they switch the machine on for a demonstration, something goes wrong and the machine rips open a new portal between worlds, dumping the girls in Vault 101 before shutting down.
The girls have to work together to survive in the Capital Wasteland and try to find a way home.
Fallout Girls contains examples of:
- Absurdly Sharp Claws: When she’s in her new vampire form, Fluttershy’s nails become claws that are sharp and sturdy enough to tear out a man’s throat and even cause superficial damage to a suit of power armor.
- Adaptation Expansion: Several locations and organizations from the game are expanded on. Notably, Rivet City is shown to have a far larger population as befits its status as a bustling settlement. A great deal of attention is paid to the inner workings of the Enclave, too, both from a military and civilian perspective.
- Alternate Self: Over the course of the story the Rainbooms meet the Fallout counterparts of several of their friends and even themselves, many of whom are named after their respective Real Life voice actors. A list of them can be found here.
- Amazon Brigade: The Rainbooms as a whole can be thought of as this as they become more accustomed to fighting, especially when they become the first members of the Brotherhood of Steel’s new Order of the Staff. One Paladin even refers to them as “amazon warrior princesses” at some point.
- Animated Armor: some suits of power armor, when imbued with Equestrian magic, become fully animated and even sapient.
- Badass Normal: Adam, the Lone Wanderer, naturally. Even more so once he gets his own suit of Enclave power armor.
- Beauty Is Never Tarnished: Averted. The harsh conditions of the Capital Wasteland take their toll on the Rainbooms’ appearance, with some or all of them developing paler complexions, hollow cheeks and baggy eyes over time.
- Because You Were Nice to Me: One reason Gob gives the Rainbooms directions to Galaxy News Radio, other than the fact that they stopped Burke from destroying Megaton, is that they’re some of the only people who haven’t treated him harshly for being a ghoul.
- Big Damn Heroes: Fluttershy effectively ends the Brotherhood-Enclave War by killing the Enclave's acting leader at the mobile base crawler and aborting the Bradley-Hercules satellite's bombardment of Adams Air Force Base, saving the Brotherhood and Exodus troops and the rest of the Rainbooms who are there.
- Boom, Headshot!:
- Sheriff Simms puts Burke down this way, jamming his rifle’s muzzle under the latter’s chin and painting part of Moriarty’s Saloon a new shade of red.
- Sunset’s first kill involves her finishing off an attacking raider with a bullet to the head.
- Applejack blows a Super Mutant’s brains out with a combat shotgun in Early Dawn Elementary.
- Bring My Brown Pants: Poor Sunset ends up wetting herself at one point during the battle to retake Project Purity, due to the stress from the battle itself and the fear that she’s been cornered and about to be killed by an Enclave soldier (who turns out to be mortally wounded).
- But Liquor Is Quicker: After indulging on some wine, Sunset Shimmer impulsively propositions a random Disciple of Harmony and loses her virginity to him.
- But Not Too Bi:
- Sunset Shimmer confirms that she is bisexual, but the only characters she's shown any definite attraction to in the story so far have been men.
- When asked about her sexuality, Sci-Twi concedes that she might be bi, but if that’s the case, then she simply prefers men.
- Cannot Spit It Out: Rarity and Applejack have huge crushes on each other, but neither of them can admit to or act on their mutual feelings, even to themselves.
- Child by Rape: Tina, the infant daughter of a young Sex Slave named Darla, is this. Her mother is still quite protective of her anyway.
- Combat Medic:
- Fluttershy starts out as The Medic and refuses to actively fight, but after becoming faster, stronger and more aggressive due to her vampiric mutations from FEV, she eventually becomes this.
- Adam counts, too, being a One-Man Army and having worked in Vault 101’s clinic, thus having some medical training.
- Cool Sword:
- Flashburn, Rainbow Dash's magically-enhanced Shishkebab, definitely counts.
- Vance gives Fluttershy Vampire’s Edge.
- Covert Pervert: Applejack occasionally makes a sexually-charged quip that suggests she has a much dirtier mind than she lets on. She denies this, of course, but her friends are eventually sold on the idea.
- Death World: The Capital Wasteland, as in Fallout 3. Gets even worse when Equestrian magic starts spreading across the wastes, mutating the wasteland fauna in new and horrible ways. Some of the creatures encountered so far include feral ghouls with super speed, giant radscorpions with chameleonic scales that render them invisible when they're not moving, and super mutants with magical abilities, weaponry, and even wings.
- Doorstopper: Currently nearing five hundred thousand words and it still isn't complete.
- Dope Slap: Rainbow Dash gets a few of these courtesy of Applejack over the course of the story, usually in response to her making a perverted remark. Not that Applejack is any better.
- Dr. Jerk: Doctor Sienna Bohn is just as cynical and blunt as Sugarcoat and is an Enclave physician.
- Elite Mooks: The Enclave soldiers, especially Squad Sigma, as in the game. A single Enclave soldier is able to effortlessly incapacitate Applejack, Rainbow Dash and Rarity using nothing more than his fists and wits.
- Empowered Badass Normal: After irradiating himself to help further Moira Brown's research for The Wasteland Survival Guide, Adam develops a mutation that enables his cells to absorb gamma radiation to repair themselves with. This is based on the Rad Regeneration perk acquired after completing this particular part of the corresponding quest in the game. He's later shown as having developed mutations around his ribs. This occurs offscreen when Adam and Fawkes explore the town of Grayditch, essentially completing the Fallout 3 quest "Those!" where they fight giant mutated fire ants. Adam was essentially granted the perks "Ant Might" and "Ant Sight" by the scientist Dr. Lesko (in-game a player can only pick one or the other.)
- Everyone Can See It: The rest of the Rainbooms can plainly see that Rarity and Applejack are crushing on each other very hard, even if neither them can admit to or act on it.
- Everyone Is Bi: Sunset Shimmer confirms that bisexuality is pretty much the norm in Equestria, since gender is not a major factor in who ponies love or feel attraction towards.
- Fan Disservice: The story’s first sex scene is intentionally written this way. Sunset is drunk without even knowing it and not thinking straight. Her partner is a random cultist who thinks she is a goddess, so he goes along with her proposition despite the vulnerable state she is clearly in. The actual loss of Sunset’s virginity is also depicted realistically, being painful and a little bloody.
- Gosh Dang It to Heck!: The Rainbooms come from a world where foul language isn’t used casually or taken lightly. Thus, they are rather surprised and off put by how often people swear in the Fallout world. It does eventually rub off on them, though.
- Groin Attack:
- During the Rainbooms' stay in Vault 101, Rainbow Dash gave one to these to Wally Mack from behind and while using her Super-Speed as he was harassing Fluttershy.
- Sunset Shimmer delivers one of these to James when the Rainbooms finally catch up with him at Project Purity after leaving Vault 101.
- Maddy punches Arthur below the belt while he’s distracted during a sparring match.
- Sunset knees Major Owens in the groin during her fight with him at Adams Air Force Base.
- When the Rainbooms return to Vault 101, Sunset orders Applejack to punch Butch in his little tunnel snake if he proves difficult. She ends up doing exactly that.
- Hand Gagging: To prevent conflict in Chapter 2:"I’d love to see you t-mmphh!" Rainbow’s challenge was cut off as Applejack clamped a hand over her mouth.
- Impaled with Extreme Prejudice: Fluttershy ends Doctor Acheson by running him through from behind with Vampire's Edge.
- Incompatible Orientation:
- Becky mentions that after dumping him, Vincent developed a crush on Tara, just as Flash Sentry did on Princess Twilight after he was dumped by Sunset Shimmer. Unfortunately for Vincent, unlike Twilight, Tara couldn’t reciprocate that attraction because she’s a lesbian.
- This is one reason Sunset refuses to take any concubines from the Disciples of Harmony so she can have Sex for Solace, arguing that because they think she’s a goddess, they can’t refuse her, even if they aren’t attracted to women.
- Instant A.I.: Just Add Water!: Robots tend to become sentient when exposed to Equestrian magic, from a random Protectron in Project Exodus to more notable ones like ED-E and Liberty Prime.
- Know When to Fold 'Em: Colonel Autumn surrenders to the Brotherhood of Steel peacefully after they overrun Project Purity. He's in no shape to resist anyway, what with both his arms having been broken by Twilight's magic back in Raven Rock.
- Man Bites Man: Unarmed and bound at the wrists, Fluttershy has to save herself from imminent rape at the hands of a vengeful raider by biting a chunk out of his throat.
- Mandatory Motherhood:
- Overseer Almodovar advises the Rainbooms to help repopulate Vault 101 after some residents die as a result of the radroach infestation and determining from their blood tests that they have no genetic abnormalities. This understandably pisses them off and contributes to their decision to leave the Vault in search of James and Adam.
- Enclave citizens must take part in Assigned Procreation by the time they’re thirty if they don’t already have children. They can do this the old-fashioned way with a spouse or Chosen Conception Partner, or by donating some of their gametes.
- The Medic: Fluttershy is this to the Rainbooms due to the medical training she received in Vault 101. She eventually becomes a Combat Medic after getting vampire-esque mutations and receiving her own sword.
- No Sense of Direction: Adam gets lost easily and can’t read maps very well. According to Fluttershy, he would even get lost in Vault 101 at least once a week, despite growing up there.
- Only Mostly Dead: As it turns out, Frank Horrigan survived his battle with the Chosen One thanks to his armor’s life-support systems, which kept his body alive despite the loss of his head and everything below the waist. The Enclave replaced his legs with robotic prosthetics and regrew his brain with advanced biogel, but couldn’t wake him from his vegetative state. Until they pump him full of Equestrian magic, that is.
- Pointy Ears: Fluttershy develops these as a result of her FEV mutation. She doesn’t mind them, since they make her look, as Pinkie Pie’s words, like an attractive elf character in the Grognak the Barbarian comics that Adam really likes.
- Powerful Pick: Pinkie Pie acquires a pickaxe infused with her magic in Vault 87. It can phase through solid objects when swung or thrown, leaving behind pink stains that explode in the manner as any sugary products she affects with her magic.
- Rape Is a Special Kind of Evil:
- Two raiders, Blades and Crawler, make plans to rape Rarity and Fluttershy, respectively, as part of their revenge against the Rainbooms after suffering two humiliating defeats at their hands. The latter nearly succeeds when they capture her much later and, as he's about to force himself on her, taunts her by threatening to do the same to her friends if they get captured as well. This, along with the FEV-induced mutations she's undergoing, causes Fluttershy to briefly snap and bite his throat out in self-defense.
- While living with a raider gang, Maddy had to either fight off their unwanted advances when she could or lay back and let them have their way with her when she couldn't. She was only nine when they took her in.
- While clearing the Super-Duper Mart of raiders, the Rainbooms meet a slave girl who's barely into her teens and yet already has a baby who is a Child by Rape. She's not even sure which raider is the father. In her rage, Sunset kills the surviving raiders, who've all been captured, by beating them to death with a tire iron.
- Robosexual: Sunset Shimmer finds herself attracted to Chief Harkness, which does not change even after she learns he is a synth.
- Running Gag: Before they become widely known across the Wasteland, the Rainbooms are often mistaken for mutants on account of their skin and hair, which requires them to explain that they aren’t.
- Sawed-Off Shotgun: Doctor Sienna Bohn uses one of these loaded with hollow-point slugs as her weapons.
- Sex for Solace: To get her mind off the traumatizing events of the battle to retake Project Purity, Sunset Shimmer tries to seduce a random Brotherhood Squire at the Citadel. Paladin Metzger stops them before they get beyond kissing and groping. She doesn’t hold Sunset’s actions against her, but warns her to be more careful anyway.
- Sex Slave: The female slaves held by the raiders at the super-Duper Mart are used for this purpose until the Rainbooms free them. One of them, Darla, was raped by each male raider in the gang at least once, making it impossible for her to identify the father of her Child by Rape.
- Spared by the Adaptation:
- Lucas Simms survives despite the girls bringing Burke's plan to his attention, largely due to the Rainbooms' interference. While this is possible in the game, it requires very quick reflexes or planning on the part of the player.
- Dr. Janice Kaplinski is not killed by Col. Autumn when the Enclave attacks Project Purity, unlike in the game.
- A more straight example would be Horrigan. The story states that a squad of soldiers fleeing the Poseidon Oil Rig brought Horrigan's corpse with them in the hopes of salvaging some of his armor. They later discover that his life support systems are keeping him alive, despite losing his head and the lower half of his body. Subverted at first as, despite replacing his legs and regrowing his brain, Horrigan is still effectively a vegetable, then later played straight when a large infusion of Equestrian magic wakes him up.
- President Eden survives the destruction of Raven Rock, transforming into small, crystalline, spider-like entity due to the radiation from the explosion reacting with the stockpiles of Equestrian magic contained in the base.
- Thanks to a combination of Twilight's upgrades and Rainbow Dash's heroics, Liberty Prime survives the Enclave's orbital strike largely unharmed.
- Stuffed into a Locker: At one point during the Rainbooms’ time in Vault 101, Sunset Shimmer and Applejack did this to Wally when they caught him trying to peep on them in the showers.
- Strong Family Resemblance: Adam is described as the spitting image of James in his youth.
- Trapped in Another World: The basis for the story’s plot. The Rainbooms find themselves accidentally transported from their world in the Equestria Girls universe to that of Fallout and must find a way back.
- Vampires Are Sex Gods: It’s hinted that Adam finds Fluttershy’s new vampire form very attractive.
- War Is Hell: The Brotherhood-Enclave War is portrayed as being just as horrific and traumatizing as it would be in real life.
- What Measure Is a Mook?: Averted. The story takes pains to humanize the Enclave soldiers, including showing several of them discussing their families and friends, and even shows the motivations of some raiders.
- In the battle for Project Purity, Sunset can’t help but try to comfort a dying Enclave soldier in his final moments.
- During the assault on the satellite uplink station Sunset makes a point of ordering the Brotherhood medics to heal all of the wounded, regardless of faction.
- Year Inside, Hour Outside: For every month the Rainbooms spend trapped in the Fallout world, they've only been missing for a day from the perspectives of those in the worlds of both Equestria Girls and Friendship is Magic.
- You Are in Command Now: After the Brotherhood-Enclave War ends and the two factions make peace with each other, Becky is made the acting President of the Enclave.
