8126418 I try to get chapters out in a timely manner, about every two weeks when I have the chance to write. I'm alternating stories, so one week is Herding Instincts, and the other is Equestria Girls and the Golden Bell, but not always able to keep it up. I try. Enjoy!
8126434 its okay i was just noticing but good luck
Ah. So she's in denial. I look forward to further developments.
Also, at one point you referred to Cayenne as Cyan.
So now I see the final product. I have to say I'm very happy. :)
good chapter I'm glad you turned him back I feel like some writers just don't know where to to go story wise and do the whole human turned pony thing as a cop out for lack of planing.
But you made it work this shows that Tim's Herd don't care if hes human or pony they care for HIM not what he is but for who he is very few fics get this chance to show this and many add it in at the end of the fic as a afterthought.
All in all I am glad I stuck around.
Well that was short lived, pointless to be honest cause magic can fix everything, i really hate this cliche, oh i just lost my humanity no biggie we have a spell for that. I also like how his magic resistance is completely random, magic portal works, teleportation doesn't work, is able to be lifted by any unicorn, also we can add now magic shape shifting granted the spell is above average but still what's a changeling when any unicorn efficient in magic can shape shift as well, even better maybe.
Also the entire debate on cutie mark is stupid, you don't need a stamp tramp to know what you're good at, if you're good at something then the result of doing it will speak for themselves, like getting straight A in math but C- in History.
Lastly just cause you're good at something doesn't mean you have to like doing it, I'm curious if a pony was good at giving BJ and got a cutie mark for it, or killing others would he/she like it?
It would be funny if Applebloom was good at making poisons as she did study under Zecora, i'm sure that Applebloom would love to make staff that kills and the Apple clan would be proud of her, or she could end up as a prostitute, i'm sure it would be fine.
Either Twilights going to try and borrow him for personal reasons, or shes going to try and join the herd.

Excellent chapter, I honestly can remember the breezies episode.
Was the spell permanent?
Just expecting Princess Twilight to start another illegal science project.
She really needs her own stallion to keep her busy!
The sex was okay, but I especially enjoyed the magic lesson.
this is exactly what i HATE in a HiE story- human is horribly maimed(magically so in this case), and just... forgives. no anger, no psychological problems. just a very unrealistic response to a life-changing event that could cause panic, anger, depression, and/or PTSD. more disappointing in that it wasnt a bad story up to this point...
you might bring back the pony transformation again at some point, like an enchanted necklace or something like that.

It's pretty obvious to the readers that Twilight has quite the infatuation with Tim, she's been showing all the signs in quite a few chapters. I'd also surmise that since Twilight was not only the prized student of Celestia but now a princess, she has one hell of a time trying to court any "normal" stallion. Think about it; she's emasculating in both physical and magic power, her knowledge tends to make other ponies feel stupid (booksmarts, not streetsmarts however), her political position draws golddiggers and the like (assuming Celestia didn't give a none to subtle warning not to try it), and like any other royal she's constantly being bowed to as everypony puts her so high up on a pedestal. And if Twilight does court a stallion, his life will suddenly go from mundane to "interesting" (in the hellish Chinese Curse kind of way).
Little wonder how the Sisters haven't had a stallion in decades, or centuries...

Not to mention how he was kept in palace practically incommunicado and was not presented to other races until he received a pony 'keeper'. Could be i am spoiled by other stories about Celestia but it is rather too convenient that such love would blossom and just after it it is first time he would be meeting his first Griffon.
To me he is being played as a silly little pawn, like usual in HiE.

I agree with you. I was simply answering a question that I had been asking myself: "Why has no-one mentioned her obvious and extensive physiological responses to him?" I can understand Tim not seeing the significance, and Citrus and Cayenne not wanting to address the subject of a sexually aroused princess. I can even see how her denial and resulting emotional turmoil might have led her to believe that there was a good reason to take him through the mirror. Her explicit denial in this chapter was just the final piece in my mental picture.
Please don't refer to whatever Equestria girls is supposed to be as humans. They aren't.
A rather nice chapter, atleast now we know to go to when cayenne and/or citrus want an army of mini ponies. Heh, ponies have the equipment, but humans have the stamina. Quite a trade off.
Someone's read wheel of time.
8127611 Why I most certainly have. And this story isn't the only one where I've borrowed elements from it.
8127255
With the memory melding, she incorporates the subtle attraction that Liara had to Commander Shepard. The mind melding totally didn't give them an intimate connect.
She wants the D.
Badly.
Well, that was solved quicker than I thought. Twi's a little genius, no doubt about that.
I wonder when will she finally ask to join their little herd though - it's quite obvious she is attracted. Now even more than before.
I'd make that last part either:
or:
Other then that, nice chapter!
I almost squeed when I read that. So many authors don't bother to research equine anatomy and compare the pony gait to walking on your fists. Even EQG canon is guilty of this (although it's probably on purpose for comedy's sake).
8133102 that's funny. I have looked up quite a bit of equine anatomy. A human turned pony and having the bones reshaped....would be horrifying, but I think would feel like that. Double that if they became a Pegasus and had to deal with a third limb girdle and the sensations for a set of wings. The brain map of that would take a lot of getting used to.
8133581
I would imagine that learning how to use new wings would be a bit like recovering from a stroke that destroyed some of your motor function.
I return to FimFiction after a short hiatus to find a couple of updates to one of my favorite stories. I was hesitant about the transformation angle but you wrapped that up quite well. I had forgotten about the breezies episode. Well done. Excellent potential for future story building.
The magic lesson has me picturing Citrus as a Tai Chi Master or Mister Miyagi.
Poor Twilight, I wonder if the girls have figured out Twi is attracted to Tim. Buck it, maybe they should let Twi know they're open to courting another mare into the herd? Citrus is still the lead mare though.
Thanks Sparky. I look forward to reading more.
Ok, I drank the punch and I have a crazy theory:
Is this implying what I think it's implying? Or is this just the punch talking?
I like the concept of his clothes bearing the cutie marks of his herdmates. That's what I'd want to do. Nice touch.
Chapter 9
There sure was quite a bit of rutting going on. Curious if one of the girls ends up pregnant. Assuming they were in Estrus. Although, they'd likely know a 'Pregnacy Prevention' spell.
8141011 No, Citrus and Sunset are not related. That would make both of them Apples....interesting thought though. And we'll be meeting Citrus' mom before too long.
I like the idea of Tim wearing his mate's cutie marks, and I'm pretty sure they like that idea as well.
As to pregnancy. I ain't sayin nuthin...
8141161
That was my initial thought but Sunset said the herd broke up before she was born. So I figure she'd have a different sire. I was thinking more along the lines that their dams were herdmates who kept in touch after the herd broke up. Perhaps a small "what a small world" thread in the fabric of the story. I look forward to meeting Tim's Dam-in-law when the time comes.
Fair enough. Too soon anyway.
How about another crazy idea: Tim is far less or no longer magic resistant now that his DNA was directly exposed to Twilight's transformation spell. Oh, to Tartarus, what if he can even use magic now but does not know it yet? The downside is that THAT is what makes it impossible for him to return to his world. Not that he would because he has a life with Citrus and Cayenne now. (IMHO)
This is amazing. Just caught up since I fell behind. Noticed this near the end though
"most of us will ever be like Twilight.”
I think that was supposed to be will never be like Twilight.
Great job!
8127611
When I was writing that, I was thinking of Nynaeve, trying to finally get Saidar. And finally she was able to open herself. I've used quite a few WoT references in other stories, and there will be more showing up here.
I like this so far. You almost lost me with the whole human-turned-pony thing. I didn't like how twilight almost peer pressured him into wanted to stay a pony. That's kind of a dick move. But overall, nice story with lots of potential. Cute and saucy scenes everywhere. Good read. Keep it up :)
Please for the love of Celestia... MORE!!!
Herding Instincts Review
Here's a review of your story.
God dammit, I accidentally got caught up with this story and now I have to wait for the next.
Great story. The first few chapters were a bit iffy (it felt like the characters were just spouting exposition at the reader instead of genuinely talking to each other), but it caught on pretty fast. Can't wait to see where this will go in the future.
Reading this chapter again before reading the update reminds me why I'm falling in love with this story. All the tender, loving care the girls are heaping on Tim...
And how they'd fiercely protect him...
And how the deepening love for each other manifests in their magic pushing everything else around EXCEPT pulls them closer...
(at least that's how I interpret that line.)
It is all too much! My heart can't take it! Yet I yearn for more so off I go to read the next chapter. Thanks Sparky!
Not Pony! Story time saved!!
Ah, but is it merely a glamour that will wear off?
Niiiice chapter! Was worried that you'd turned into The Conversion Bureau for a second...
Really?
He started to cry again then passes out?
Tim goes from pansy to bitch real fast.
Thnk Celestia hes human again! Twi really came through this time. I think i can possibly see why it was necessary for tim to become pony tim......but its only a guess and i wouldnt want to say something that could potentially amount to a spoiler.....assuming my guess is correct obvi.
Thnx for such a wonderful story Spark!
