When playing Fallout, one of the last things a lot of people probably think about is My Little Pony. Of course, there are some mods that bring My Little Pony into the Fallout games, but there are plenty of mods that cater to hardcore fan bases across many interests. However, an actual fan-made book that brings My Little Pony into Fallout‘s harsh world is on a different level entirely, and it’s a hit on Goodreads.
Titled Fallout: Equestria, this work of fan fiction has deeply resonated with a lot of My Little Pony and Fallout fans over the years. Fallout: Equestria was originally published in 2011, but it’s continued to draw a lot of readers even into 2026. Whether it’s morbid curiosity or genuine interest depends on the reader, yet Fallout: Equestria is another example of how unexpected and fascinating some Fallout crossovers can be. Crossovers like Fallout‘s Black Ops 7 skins make more sense on the surface, though this book is a reminder that fans can be incredibly inventive and think outside the box in wild ways.
Fallout’s My Little Pony Crossover Shakes Up the Wasteland
The charm of My Little Pony mixed with the violent brutality of Fallout makes it a unique blend of cartoonish characters and unforgiving, post-apocalyptic survival. Fallout‘s lore and world make for some grisly and barbaric outcomes for survivors, and Fallout: Equestria doesn’t hold back in that regard.

Fallout: Equestria Doesn’t Skimp On Content, Either
Since this is fan fiction, some may be eager to immediately write this off as a simple read, but that’s not the case. Fallout: Equestria is a whopping 1,600 pages, making it even longer than The Lord of the Rings. For a book that long, it’s hard to keep a consistent narrative intact, but it is continuously praised for its story. Readers on Goodreads applaud the story’s complexity and coherence, which says a lot about the quality of writing. Between the use of various iconic Fallout factions and locations and a long-form story that manages to avoid steering too far off-course, Fallout: Equestria demonstrates that fan fiction can often be a platform for great stories to be built from.
There is also an audiobook version of Fallout: Equestria available for download.
Even more interesting, some of the Goodreads reviews aren’t even from My Little Pony fans. Fallout fans whose interests were piqued have also checked it out just to see what it’s like and have been thoroughly impressed. With its description-heavy writing and solid handling of Fallout‘s wasteland, it’s as much of Fallout fan fiction as it is My Little Pony. The My Little Pony aspect may turn some Fallout fans away, but based on reviews, it’s clearly left many surprised.
The Fallout TV series only has a few episodes left, so fans of both the games and the series are about to run out of fresh wasteland-focused content. Of course, there are the Fallout games to jump back into, but some may be looking for something completely new. Fallout: Equestria on Goodreads could help satisfy that craving. It’s a wild crossover that a lot of Fallout fans wouldn’t see coming, but that’s also what makes it fun for so many readers.
