Ortus:
‘My coming would have saved you, set your people free in ways they cannot see. War would have tested them: broken the weak with its violence, yet allowing the strong to arise.’
-Legate Lanius, 2281

To live is to be a slave we only choose the nature of our bindings. In a meaningless world, corrupting and devoid of all hope, the choice is clear.

(Originally meant to be a one-off, this is kind of a very short origin story, but lays the ideology on quite thick. Warning: gore tag added as this contains some light goriness and alludes to willing self-mutilation.)

Vita:
‘Home isn’t where you’re born into this world.’
-Speculator Ulysses, 2281

The story of a couple held apart by the necessities of societal rank and social norms stealing a few precious moments to celebrate their one year anniversario.

Occasus:
‘I survived because the fire inside burned brighter than the fire around me. I fell down into that dark chasm, but the flame burned on and on.’
-Legate Joshua Graham (disgraced), 2281

The inevitable conclusion for those who live by the sword and have given up all hope for their world’s redemption.

After finally reading Fallout Equestria by Kkat and loving it I gradually threw these together for no apparent reason (each one written randomly when majorly stressed out). In general these are ponified Caesar’s Legion in the Equestrian Wasteland, based around my main pro-Legion playthrough of Fallout New Vegas, discussions (arguments) with mates about this decision and a stupid picture I drew of a main OC and Legate Lanius as a ponified couple (above), one of the many weird results of these conversations (arguments). (Triptych story consists of Ortus, Vita and Occasus, meanwhile the Memoriam are more like individual scenes)

Massive thanks to Haphazard for pre-reading whatever this is meant to be and getting me over my aversion to crossovers.

Also thank you to anyone who reads my stuff.

Notes:
• Title: Conqueror of My Heart (Latin)
• I have not yet had the chance to check out stories in which others have already inserted the Legion into the Fallout Equestria universe. This is not meant as a serious attempt to insert the faction; rather this is a really basic ponification based on conversations.
• Sketch used as cover art used base by XxPartyingxX (http://xxpartyingxx.deviantart.com/)
• I’m marking this as complete for now, but may write more in the future depending on how I feel.
• I welcome any and all feedback.
