5372516 Thank you again sir. I appreciate it
I... don't know how to take this. It's a wonderful story, and that's the problem. The implications of it... Was it a rebirth? Reincarnation? How many ponies are like him? Nyah... my head is spinning... (In a good way.)
5377488 It's always nice to leave a bit of wonder in a story, so you're never 'quite' sure what's going on.
But I am always willing to maybe help clear anything up, though I can't promise it would be nothing more than my line of reasoning about the story 
5377520 Well, keep a sense of wonder in the story you definitely did with a vengeance! Superbly done!
I have to admit the title is what first really grabbed my attention. Then reading the description I was wondering if the full implications of the quote as title would come into play. I started reading and as I got into it I forgot the title. Then came the scene with the Princesses in the hospital room and BAM! Glorious use of a quote as a title there. Fulfilled every expectation I had from the moment I first saw the title and then some.
I find too much that some authors are compelled to lay out and explain every bit of a story, which at time can ruin things. It's great as an author to have in mind what is happening but keeping that sense of wonder sometimes means not explaining every detail and leaving it to the readers' minds.
This story definatly deserves a lot more views
This is going on my favorites and must read shelves.

Thank you so much, I think the joy of reading, and writing, is giving it that bit of extra to make you go "huh!"
Picking a title, to be honest, is one of the things I sweat over. Honestly. After reading so many authors, Heinlein, Asimov, Bear, Brin. I find that the title, should apply somewhere, not too obvious, but it should help with that sense of..and I dare say again.. wonder. Sometimes I admit, it's obvious, but just occasionally you can find one that really works, and add it to make it all the better. I am so glad that it worked for you in the way it was intended. Shakespeare of course being the best for the great quotes for titles
Absolutely! I couldn't agree more. Never treat readers as someone to be lead, but someone to just nudge in maybe the right direction, let them figure out whats happening. I admit, I do it myself in some stories. But we all need the practice, to take the reader on that wonderful journey you thought up and want to share.
Once again, thank you for the kind comments, it's always appreciated. I'm glad you find it worthwhile enough to keep and share.
5512899 I've known guys like that, exactly like that
so like i decided to look at your other works after i saw legacy so i checked this out
seriously im appalled
how could i have taken so long to find a story this good and an author that can smith such tender plot and tales of glory and intrigue
im appalled with my self for not following you sooner
three stories done so far
three favorites earned in the course of hours
cant wait to read more from you
5546712 Seriously I do not know what to say for such fine compliments except thank you so very much
Great story, that was really sad, poor gearbox, but I'm happy it ended so well
I'd guess this is an HIE fic, of the "soul of a dying human wakes up as a pony" sort... But with the twist that the human soul has forgotten about his previous life, and had just started to remember. Thought-provoking, if that's what this story was about. Forgetfulness can be a blessing, but it isn't really the same thing as healing... I think it deserves an up-vote--and more chapters, showing the progress of James' recovery as a full person.
6294498 Sort of HIE, I do love a bit of a twist.
I don't know if any chapters could add things, what are your thoughts on it? Send me a PM if you'd like, perhaps something good can come of it, maybe just a few open chapters?
