These puns leaf me wanting. You should explore other branches of comedy.
4777090 I take it back. There still is a little space left in the hole. It took me a while to twig to your comment, bud now I recognize the humus in the situation.
Was the title inspired by Transformers: Beast Wars or X-men?
Excellently done. The Tree's madness wasn't something I expected, but it explains so much about the Everfree. Loved this from start to finish. Thank you for it.
Well, it's certainly not my headcanon, but it's alright as far as lore goes.
Okay, I admit it: I'm impressed. Very well done. Good luck.
Have you ever considered submitting this story to Equestria Daily? You can find out how to do so here.
4780833 Well, I have submitted a couple of stories to EqD here and there over the years and some popular ones have been accepted.
I love me some well-written headcanon. You have masterful attention to detail, the pacing doesn't feel rushed despite being essentially a summary of the entirety of pony history, and you somehow found a way to bring to light all the little moments in the show that I personally enjoyed. That last technique served as a connection that offered the story greater impact, essentially piggybacking on good emotions that were already in place. Fantastically well done, and I honestly can't think of any constructive criticisms to offer.
Wait! No, I found one. The part about the bearded pony and the lone infant survivor of the Crystal Kingdom went over my head. Perhaps it's referencing something I'm not recognizing (If it's a Cadenza origin, I'll freely admit I don't know much about the love princess), but since it doesn't show up for the rest of the story it draws me out of my story groove for a moment.
Yeah, not much of a criticism. I had to scrape the bottom of the barrel to find it. Seriously, though, great work.

4777301 X-men actually, but it was one of about thirty titles I mused about. I think the title and the description drove a lot of readers away.
4779750 Mad tree! Mad tree! Everybody run awa-- Oh, wait.
4783294 As far as I know, there's only one bearded pony ever referenced in My Little Pony (although there are alternative possibilities of his origin. This actually came up in the original draft, where I didn't mention the beard, and I had a previewer puzzled.

What a great explanation for the Everfree interacting with the Tree of Harmony.
Hmm... not bad. Though if I remember correctly, the ponies did not create the windegoes so much as draw them to them. And I am rather annoyed that the implication that mortals cannot function without the undying. Nonetheless, you have my like.
Love it!! Another sparkling, well-cut piece! I never thought of what it would be like from the Tree of Harmony's pov, but this is amazing. I love it!
Thought I'd read this one already, but after skimming I didn't recognize the story at all. Turns out I was thinking of a Cloud Wander fic with a similar premise (and, oddly enough, length). Guess that saying about great minds is true
Your interior image is broken. Also, nice to stumble across more Tree of Harmony stories!
What the fuck.
I'm not crying. You're crying.
