Atlas awakes, naked and afraid in the Everfree where he gets his bearings. His interactions with ponykind aren't exactly going as planned, but what can you do when they view you as a beast. Easy, be the most amazing fucking human version of Seabiscuit or Lassie that ever lived.
YHaY story setting where humans are treated as more expensive animals (like horses) rather than widespread creatures that fit the role of cattle/dog/cat/etc. Some are still used in bad way, but yeah. Rating and content are subject to change.
