"Impossible is just a word to let people feel good about themselves when they quit." - Vyse

After falling asleep in your garden, you end up in the Everfree Forest. A chance encounter leads you on a new story. A story of new experiences and everyday trials in the world of pastel ponies. With a question always in your mind. One that needs an answer. Can you get home?

============================================
A Second Person Human in Equestria Story that's been rattling in my brain for a little while (one of many). Writing with the hope of it improving my written story telling abilities :twilightsheepish:
Set during Season 1, with some FiM events occuring, however they will be out of order from the show.

Big shoutout to Winter Star who pointed out many of my grammatical errors :rainbowkiss:

Main Tags will be updated as story progresses.
Constructive Criticism welcome :twilightsmile:
Main and Chapter titles may change lol I'm very indecisive.

Additional Tags: Mainly from a nameless human male PoV, Some wish fulfillment (Aren't all fanfics), Technically alt universe (given that a human appears and events are out of order. Not AU enough to actually tag it yet though).
Update: Violence and very little profanity (like 1 or 2 words)

Chapters (16)
Comments ( 53 )

10863454

10863550
No sweat I thinking about making my own story much like this but with school and life well I don't have spare very much time
Yeah one more wait 2 more One maybe you can add some combat and maybe a little romance (not too much) and A ton of adventure.
If you need some ideas email me or some thing ok Always here to help.

Liking it so far! I just wanted to let you know though there's a typo in the stories description. You misspelled Forest. In the description its Froest.

10886219
Thank you! :twilightsmile: and I will fix that typo now hehe :twilightsheepish:

Well that's not ominous at all.

10890225
Depends how you view it :pinkiesmile: It's a bit of a cliche setting I admit, but works for the story.
Thanks for reading :twilightsmile:

Dang! What a teasing chapter. Now I rust want to read this story more. lol

Thanks again MG for another awesome chapter. Its always pleasant to read fanfics where ponies fall to the might of the all powerful ear scratches and bow down to us Humans for our magical hands. MAHAHAHAHA!!!! lol. I'm excited to see our human finnaly meet the main six and I wish you all the best of luck with your next chapter. Cheers!

10901899
Aww yay! Thank you, that means a lot :)

Why not make this an anon in Equestria fanfic?

Caught a few typos.

...unconscious! Can you ___ them?

Think your missing the word 'think' here.

Is anyone is worried about where I disappeared to?

The second 'is' is either not needed or should be 'as'.

...you watch her as ___ stands up.

Think your missing the word 'she' here.

...you position start to position yourself...

This word is not needed.

...sun wouldn’t set till gone 10pm...

The word 'after' seems like a better choice here.

You defiantly feel like you...

Spelling error. Should be 'definitely'.

You start to ___ away, but...

Think your missing the word 'pull' here.

Have a rhyme recommendation change.

...The sun will soon pass to reveal the night. And this forest can be quite dangerous at night without the suns light.”

Hope this helps.

I have enjoyed the first two chapters. Thank you for the story. :pinkiehappy:

Was confused a bit on this.

...a happy appears briefly smile on her face before it suddenly falls.

Grammar here is a bit confusing, to me at least. Perhaps 'smile appears briefly' or 'smile briefly appears' would work better.


Also noticed a few typos.

...of being crushed but such a creature.

Should be 'by'.

...used to this sort of food.” You chuckle.

Missing the period/end stop here.

You light up, trying...

This idiom should be 'lighten up'.

...heads to the over, opening it.

Think this should be 'oven'.

...as a chest of draws.

Should be 'drawers'.

Noticed some typos and grammar error.

...and it taste good.

Should be 'tastes'.

...houses painted with a creamy with large painted support beams and thatched roofs.

A bit confusing as I'm not sure what the portion highlighted is describing here. Suggest removing or rewording the sentence.

Despite truing to sound nonchalant...

Should be 'trying'.

Dear Princess Celestia.

Help.

Lost Alien In Library. Wants To Go Home. Please Advise!

Spike.

That's a first I've seen Spike send a letter to Celestia about an odd creature/human that is straight and to the point.
Perchance the lack of a certian purple pone being present helped. :rainbowlaugh: :facehoof:

Caught two typos.

...as their little head start to turn...

Should be 'heads', as it is refering to their (plural).

...but was still nice a fresh with a good crunch.

Should be 'and'.

Noticed some typos.

...just needed so spring cleaning.

Should be 'some'.

A large work bunch stands...

Should be 'bench'.

Noticed a typo.

...indicating a possible a favourite spot...

This 'a' is not needed.

Noticed a few grammar errors.

...how much of your work has gone onto your clothes.

A better word here would be 'gotten'.

The orange glow creeping into the living ___ indicates the start of the evening.

I think your missing the word 'room' here.

...neatly stacks the paper with your story on, though...

Should be 'on it'.

10906931
It started as an exercise to use a non-named character to see how far I could take it. For future endevours though, I will most likely use Anon for the human :pinkiesmile:

10907124
Thank you, fixed :twilightsmile:

Something tells me they were expecting him or knew he was coming from day 1

Celestia... Yo bitch ass got some explaining ta do!

Thanks for the shoutout. :raritystarry:
I really enjoy the story and look forward to reading the new chapters. :twilightsmile:
If I see any more grammer errors I'll point them out for you.

Noticed a few grammer errors.

You stare intensely at __ hands as the suddenly...

The blank should be 'your' and the should be 'they'.

...form in your eyes.

Missing the full stop/period here.

Noticed two errors.

...followed by a party blowed shoved...

I think you ment 'blower' here. Those things have so many different names! :facehoof:

...memories begin __ rise...

More grammatically accurate if the word 'to' is used here.

10952451
Thank you so much :twilightsmile:
Yeah, MSWord likes to change things when I'm not looking lol

How did I miss this one for so long.

Great work.

Monk
“If you can't awe them with knowledge, baffle 'em with bullshit.” -Guardsman_Sparky

Noticed one error.

How are you supposed to fight something __ that?

Is a fragment sentence. Consider adding 'like' or more detail the end of the sentence.


I am still enjoying the story and look forward to more. :twilightsmile:

It will be interesting to see what the dreams are all about. From the few hints it seems they may be caused by some sort of dream demon or parasite?

Also wonder how long it will take before Luna notices his dreams or he mentions them to somepony and is directed to Luna?

10978230
Thank you! I'm glad you're still enjoying it. I hope future chapters won't disappoint :twilightsmile: :heart:

Found a grammar error or three.

...we have no plans for such buildings that that would be scaled for a pony.

Seem to have an extra 'that' here.

“Just another failure to add to my résuméresum.”

The striked through 'resum' portion is not needed.

...lighten the mood while simultaneously disguising...

At the beginning of the word 'simultaneously' the underline tag is misspaced.


I wonder if the 'foreign creature' Celestia mentioned was Discord, another human, or something else?
I'm still enjoying the story and thanks for the chapter. :pinkiehappy:

10990169
I have no idea where those italics or underlines came from lol They aren't on my home copy XD

Glad you are still enjoying it, I was a bit worried with this one :twilightsheepish:

Good chapter, the fight with the wolves was very fun to read and was well written. Tbh even though it was the main character, the way the fight played out really carried some suspense and left me wondering if he was actually gonna die to the wolves as some kind of plot twist!

10999219
Thank you very much! :twilightsmile:
I was rather worried about how it read, but this gives me hope :heart:

11015738
Most of the next chapter is done, going through the editing when I have some spare moments, no eta though, sorry.

11016080
No rush, just wanted to check and see if the story was still in progress. This is one of my favorites, thank you for your work!

The sounds of clicking and clacking welcome you as you enter. The front room is mostly empty. A set of double doors are shut at the far end, a few benches sit against the wall, some plants dotted around and a desk with a typewriter on it, bathed in a crimson glow. Sitting behind the desk is a red unicorn with a short black mane and gold eyes, peering diligently at the papers. Her horn bathed in the same crimson as the typewriter.

Aren't a unicorn's magic aura the same as their eye's?

11068697
Not always. Shining armour has blue eyes but purple aura, and cadance has blue aura but purple eyes.

Theres also animation issues in episodes where the aura change too. Though it seems like it could also be either genetic or cutie mark related.

Atleast that's what I found out. When looking at stuff. :twilightsmile:

Welcome back! Was getting a bit worried but I'm glad to see you're still writing. Chapter was interesting to read but it felt like it was a bit out of place. If felt like the new dream changes plot going on was a bit forced and while it kept me reading to see what happened, ultimately I just felt like nothing substantial occurred. I'm sure it'll be expanded upon in the next few chapters so for now I'm really just glad to see updates to this story!

11072463
My apologies for the delay, alot has happened in the last 2 months and none of it good, probably why the chapter ended up feeling out of place. I knew what I was going for in my mind, but ultimately failed on conveying it.

Thank you for reading it though.

Huh, very reminiscent of early fandom HiE. Everfree forest, the CMC, Timberwolves, and the works. Interesring approach tho, never really saw that "roaring back" thing. Really goes to show that even if extremely overused, there's still room for innovation in the good ol' waking up in Everfree trope.

Ahh, I see! Iron is often depicted as resistant to magic, which is why the smithy they built just didn't work. They most likely tried to smith iron using magical fire, telekinesis, or whatever other magic-based shortcut ponies had been using to compensate for their lack of dexterity limbs. You need to work on iron using purely physical means: actual fire, physical forging, a circular stone sander, etc. My best guess is ponies never invented fires that burn over 1600°C, because they would use magic to reach those temperatures.

You don't necessarily need a blast furnace if you can buy raw iron, but I guess being so deep in pony society means you'll need to literally build the whole infrastructure down to the pig iron processing.

They gonna catch these hands and in a good way

At least Pinkie is understanding. But again, personal space you pink menace holy crap. I got uncomfortable just reading this, no offense to the author.
