Ironshoes
by
Ironshoes is a story about pirates in Equestria. Though it's not about pirates. It's more about the mind, the strength of one's character, and temptation.
It is inspired by H.P. Lovecraft.

I'm going to read this...I don't see enough Lovecraftian MLP stuff. Being a huge fan of both universes, I look forward to seeing what you've put together. Constructive criticism to come!
Though I don't understand what's so Lovecraftian about this, I did thoroughly enjoy it. The connection between "Heavyboots" and Ironshoes was clever, and the realization of what was happening (at least, what I think was happening) dawned on me just before the reveal.
While it is not similar to Lovecraft's more famous works, it does bear striking similarity to some of his earlier stories. And that doesn't even show itself evident until the later half of the story. It is the supernatural transformation of a character into a cruel distortion of his aspirations.
