Description

A horrible Cataclysm has turned all of Equestria into a Wasteland of barren ash and twilight desolation. The Sun and the Moon have been destroyed. Everypony has died–including Princesses Luna and Celestia. But one pony miraculously survives; she is a lone wanderer, the last of her kind, surrounded by menacing creatures that hate her. She navigates the Wastes in an airship and scavenges off the blighted landscape to keep herself alive.
 
Then one day she meets an old companion who grants her a gift, the chance to go back in time to the warm and sunny days of Ponyville, where her dead friends live in happiness. How far will the last pony venture into these joyous days of Equestria, even if she fully knows that there is no way to change the horrible fate of everypony she loves?
 

 
This was made for Short Skirts and Explosions’ MLP fanfic End of Ponies, one of VERY VERY few things on this planet that has me reaching for a box of tissues when I read it. Painted this up as a replacement for his header image, and because everypony is too damn scared to make fanart.

I see your point, but that’s one of the central themes of the story I think.
 
Even though what she does cannot possibly undo the cataclysm and may seem “pointless,” it is still undeniably the right thing to do.

This story wouldn’t depress me so much if the majority of the story wasn’t spent doing things which are out and out stated by the story itself to be pointless.

I have no hope for the cataclysm to be magically undone through time travel. Everything in the story so far shows that “Harmony” has always been a part of her own past, has done what she has done, and the cataclysm still happens.
 
What I do hope for, is that Scoots will find some way to undo the worst of the cataclysm’s effects, to bring some light back to Equestria and usher in anew age, if not for ponies, but for those of heart in the wastelands.

The End wasn't The End - Found a new home after the great exodus of 2012

Every fiber of my being screams for this fic to have a happy ending, but the rational part of my mind says that it’s never gonna happen.
 
So fucking depressing. Even more so than Fallout: Equestria. At least there was a dim hope for the future. In EoP, equinity is dead.
