Mal has led a difficult life as a sorcerer on an Earth where magic is feared by many. After being forced to use an untested spell in an emergency, he has found himself in Equestria. Though his situation isn't ideal, he could find the love, acceptance, and family he'd always wanted.
If he could stop being such a bastard about accepting help for five minutes.
Join Mal on his misadventures of learning how to love himself, and how to put some faith in others.
A slow-paced Human in Equestria story focusing on family both found and born and healing from past traumas. All major plot points up to and through the ending are planned out, the only question is how long will it take to get there and how much will I be sidetracked on the way.
Also filled with excess worldbuilding elements because I literally cannot help myself from overexplaining anything I find mildly interesting. Plenty of such ideas are concepts possibly (probably) already explored in other fics- the fandom is over a decade old at this point after all. Much of this ground has already been tread.
This fic is for me to stretch my sorely underused writing muscles. Please read and enjoy.
