So, got to Chapter 16 of "Fallout Equestria: Project Horizons" ([link] ) and when I read this scene I quickly wanted to draw it. Namely:

"My telekinetic, magical bullet fired, striking Mini in the torso. And just like that she stopped, staring at me with a horrified look on her face. Her very solid face. She hung there like a decoration, half her body on one side of the wall. Half her body on the other side. “Oh,” she whispered softly. “That’s… not good.”

“Mini!” screamed Gem, hovering in front of her sister. “Go ghosty! Do it!”

“I… can’t. I don’t think the spell works inside something,” she said softly. “I can’t feel my legs.”

Gem solidified before my eyes, the three of us forgotten as she held her sister. “No, do it. Do it!” she begged as she changed ghostly and passed her hooves through her sister. “Mini! Go ghosty. Please!” Again and again she solidified and desolidified, trying to get her sister to do the same. I looked on, wishing that Mini could somehow free herself.

Gem finally threw her forelegs around her twin sister, sobbing brokenly.

“I’m sorry… I mean…” I said lamely. I’d meant to kill her, but I hadn’t meant for… this.

Mini looked at me with a small smile. “It’s okay. We were trying to kill you. I mean, it’s only fair.” Somehow that made me feel even worse as the trapped mare gently stroked her sibling’s mane. “It’s okay, Gem. It doesn’t hurt at all.”

“Gem? Mini?” a male said from behind us. Standing on the pipes leading to safety was the green buck. He must have started moving the second we were out of sight. If Gemini hadn’t slowed us down he wouldn’t have had the time to head us off. I whirled, looking at the stallion as he panted for breath, his sides gleaming with sweat. His gun was slung across his neck, though. Something about him reminded me of Big Macintosh. His dying sister seemed worth infinitely more to him than caps. “Ah no… Mini…” he whispered as he walked past us without a second glance."

"I looked to P-21 and the still trembling Glory. Both all right… No. Not all right. None of us were all right. But we were alive.

And so was Mini.

Slowly, I made my way towards where she was still breathing shallow little gulps. I floated out Cupcake’s revolver. “Mini…” I said quietly, though with the ringing in my ears everything felt quiet. I was numb from horn to hoof.

“Hey.” She gave a shaky smile. “It’s the Security pony…” she said quietly as she hung there. “Where’re Gem and Taurus? She had to go...”

I looked over at one of the rubble heaps and the motionless green head poking out of it. “They… they left. They got away.” Please, if there is any goddess in all of Equestria, let her believe me. “They’re both… just fine…”

“That’s good. Gem does silly things without me,” she said quietly as she looked at me, red eyes just like my own, crying just like my own, as her lips trembled. I wasn’t that good a liar. Were it not for the mane, I might have been looking into a mirror as she asked, “Are… are you going to finish it?”

I couldn’t say it. I could only nod as my eyes blurred with tears.

Her lips smiled as she whispered, “Thank you.”

I wrapped my hooves around her, hugging her as I levitated the gun up under her chin.

‘Pull the trigger. Pull the trigger. Pull the Goddesses-damned trigger. Damn it, you bony son of a bitch, let me be able to do this!’ I sobbed as I held her, shaking as I poured everything I could into this. Five pounds of pressure was all I needed. ‘Pull the motherfucking trigger, Blackjack. Do it! Do it! Please, for the love of Celestia, do it!’ I begged myself.

“I’m sorry.” I sobbed, gritting my teeth together. Clenching my eyes closed. Wishing it was my head that the gun was pressed against.

Mini just laughed softly. “You’re a good pony, Miss Blackjack.” I felt a second unicorn’s magic on the gun.

One last gunshot sounded out across Flank."

The dark bordering was just added to create atmosphere, to try and make it dark, moody, and sad.
