    Two orphaned siblings living in a war-torn world, forced to suffer through the evils of humanity.  When they are just starting to settle in to the life they’ve been forced to live, they are stripped from their cold and desolate home.  They arrive in a world of peace and love, a place completely opposite to the one they once knew.  Their only wish is to never have to return to the hell they’ve been able to leave.

    Rated Teen for slight violence and swearing.

    The ponies don't come in until toward the end of the second chapter.  Please read it before you cast it off.  :applejackunsure:

    Hmmm, interesting. Though, Mac seems a bit blunt, but that's what happens when you live in a crapsack world I guess. I'm sure Pinkie will try to bring him out of his shell.

    Things that I see wrong with this,

    1. In the show, the ponies are known for there paronoia and quick distrused, Look at zecora! What i'm trying to say is the ponies could have reaced more ehh.....scared because of there nature.

    2. Malcolm should not trust them that quick.

    Besides that the story is great!

    >>949301  Ah, but that's because she wore a cape hiding her face and already had rumors of 'black-magic-esque' behavior.  Not to mention she LIVES in Everfree Forest, an already spooky place.  :pinkiegasp:

    As for Mac, you gotta realize that he just wants his sister to be happy, so if playing along with the talking animals will do that, he's willing to take the risk...for now.  :trixieshiftleft::trixieshiftright:

    Just give it a chapter or two, I promise everything will come to light.  :scootangel:

    >>949301  Another thing just dawned on me with the whole 'ponies being distrusting' thing.  Don't you think after the events of "Bridle Gossip" that word would have spread about Zecora not being 'evil' and how not to judge someone without getting to know them first?  In that case, then it would make sense for the citizens of Ponyville to be receptive to some new creatures.  :pinkiehappy:

    >>1112379  If by 'suggestive content' you mean :yay::rainbowkiss::rainbowwild::heart::heart:, then no.  This story involves no shipping, no explicit violence, and no sexual allusions.  

    Though I find violence absolutely fine, I prefer making this suitable for slightly less-mature audiences.

    And I don't care much for shipping fanfictions, unless the shipping is canon (in any show/game, not just MLP).

    >>1238701  Really, it only makes sense.  Equestria is full of peace and love (mostly), but Earth is full of anger, spite, and greed (in abundance).  To me, when I think of Human in Equestria, I expect corruption to rub off on the residents of the peaceful world (unless the human in question is pure, like Lora).  :twistnerd:

    >>1238872 If that's the case, than wouldn't Lora also be influencing the ponies? Yes, I understand that she's "pure" but she still is a human and lived on the same Earth that her brother lived on. She cant be 100% pure at least.

    Reply 

    >>1238903  I'm not saying that she doesn't influence Equestria, but she does it so much less so than her brother.  The way I see it, although humans would corrupt Equestria, the amount of corruption would vary from person to person.  A serial killer would bring more corruption than an elementary teacher, so on and so forth.  For a 'pure' person, the amount of corruption could be just insignificant enough to not cause major harm to Equestria.  :twistnerd:

    At least that's how I look at it.  :twilightsmile:
