This is the story about a man, a man who had to face the horrors of two wastelands.

In the East, he is called the Lone Wanderer; Savior of the Capital Wasteland. In the West, he is called the Courier; King of New Vegas. And for those few who met him during his journeys through the wasteland, Frederick Hazeley. But he could not have become who he is today without the aid of a friend. A friend who was lost in his world.

A crossover of Fallout 3 combined with Fallout: New Vegas.

Through The Fires of Two Wastelands is an experimental fic, so to speak, that I have been working on. This includes:
- The Lone Wanderer and the Courier being the same person.*
- An OC Royal Guard as a companion.

*Due to this, the Fallout lore has been slightly changed.

This story was inspired by the Fallout mod Tale of Two Wastelands, ed2481's Wandering Moon and Dark Wanderings, and Gyvon's Halo: On the Wings of Angels.

Prologue: War...

War – war never changes.

In pony history, there was a time when ponies were torn apart by greed, power, and hatred. A time where ponykind was divided, spilling blood in the name of their gods and goddess to the righteousness of one ideal over the other to simple, petty vengeance.

That all changed however after the formation of Equestria, a land where differences were put aside and harmony bloomed. Love and tolerance influenced all over the region and the land flourished because of it. It was a golden age for ponykind.

But after years of prosperity had passed, the peace which the ponies cherished deadly was eventually taken from them when a new threat arisen: The Changelings. A race of insects who consume the love of others to fulfill their own sustenance.

The love sucking parasites and their Queen invaded Equestria’s capital, Canterlot, and nearly overwhelmed its defenders. But not before they were repelled by the same love they have been seeking.

With the Changelings in disarray, Equestria’s elite forces, the Royal Guard, set out in search of the remaining Changelings to either capture or destroy them.

As the hunt goes on, the fate of one Guardspony had been decided. Running for her life after her squad was annihilated by a Changeling ambush, the lone Royal Guard was forced to retreat into a deep long cave fill with countless passageways and dangerous long forgotten magic. What seemed like a simple bug hunt has taken a turn for the worst.
