Fallout Equestria: Dead Tree is a side story written by Fiaura. It is based upon the Tabletop Game by Dead Tree Studios, and is run by the devs on Wednesday Night. After which, Fiaura converts the tabletop game into a written story. It is designed much like a book is to a movie, where the movie is the light version but the written story includes many hidden Easter Eggs, character developments, and general between week actions of the players.
It is unique in the fact that each character is played by an actual human being and those person created their character and helped mold their actions, dialog, and fate. From there it is up to Fiaura and her writing to tell their story, take a read here and drop an opinion in the comments, Fiaura will certainly reply: Enter Dead Tree
Synopsis
Wandering Sunrise remembers Equestria as it once was: a land of harmony, broken by strife. She was sealed in a Stable-Tec stasis pod the day the Megaspells hit... and she wakes up in a pool of water, surrounded by strangers. She doesn't remember why she's there, and her Stable-Tec captors are no where to be found. Her band of misfit companions break out into an Equestria far different from the one Sunrise remembers - a wasteland that promises danger and death for the unwitting. Sunrise must learn to survive and overcome the challenges of the wasteland with the help of her friends, and unlock the mystery of her past experiences with the most dangerous company in the Wasteland: Stable-Tec.
Setting
This story takes place just over 1 generation before LittlePip will emerge from Stable 2. 182 years after the bombs fell with a Wandering Surnise. A mare whom was put into Stasis in Stable 43 and existed before the bombs fell. Which creates the dynamic of wasteland meets old world in a very real direct sense.

Thrust into stable 43 at the midnight hour by Applebloom's interference, she became an experiment subject, waking up to find the world had change drastically. The experimentation has changed everything from her having a cutie mark now to the fact her coat is now an emerald green instead of the pure white when she went to sleep. She now adventures with the friends she has, letting her old world values conflict with the need for survival in the wasteland.
Sunrise is on a quest to find her parents, whom she believes are still alive.

All was well, but a few unfortunate turns with slavers and raiders like turned her parent's into bullet sponges and her into the most recent plaything in a band of elite raiders. A few weeks past and just as the light faded from her eyes a god sent from the boxes of storage facillity where she was kept lit a new life a name for her. Sugarcube corners (Not to be confused with the bakery of the same name) was born that night and now roves the wastes looking for her perfect box. Will she ever uncover the truth of the box god?

Picline

Picline's behaviour though was not without cause, a turbulent past and the loss of her children in various ways left her vulnerable, she even "enslaved" Chifundo as a result of one particular transgression.
