Matthias Martin lost much when fate dropped him into the heart of Equestria but thanks to a certain trio of princesses he's gained much in return. However, he finds himself wanting more and is afraid of what he'll have to give up in exchange.
Yeah, and who do you think the poor sap was that had to edit this thing? Then again: SilentKnight, I would be glad to help with the next chapter once the overhaul is done.
I question on how you made a chapter this long...but it was SO worth it. Especially finding out twilight, Luna and possibly Celestia been in cahoots in their relationship with Matthias.
Oh wow. I remember reading the first three chapters and loving the writing and premise then BAM! huge new update! Oh I'm going to enjoy reading this! Glad to see you writing! Thank you!
Another offer from that jackass, the literal and figurative kind, wanting to purchase the copy of The Six Gates of the Kingdom of Chaos Twilight and him had found together ( Take a hint already. It ain’t happening ya jackass!)
Do I spy a reference to The Ninth Gate?
Seen that this chapter dropped and was overjoyed. Then I seen the word count and it was Overjoyed+1. Hell of a wait on the chapter but man does it deliver in size and quality. Cheers friend, you weave a damn good story.
I only remembered one story that ever reached this close in word count once, that was Fallout Equestria. I even had to go back just to confirm, ch.37 51k words. So congrats, you've pushed past a classic's limits
Rocketing the forty-five-pound hunk of steel and ink into Twilight’s chest, and throwing Matthias flat on his back, because apparently, Sir Isaac Newton is still the deadliest son-of-a-bitch in the multiverse.
I'll leave this one here folks - I'm here all week....
(Edit: Just realised that you threw in the weight conversion too you sly bastard...)
9003948 I'm wondering if anyone has been on Fimfiction for long enough to have seen the 1.7m word chapter that was posted years ago before it was taken down for being "too long".
I just had to reread this amazing story and I couldn't be more satisfied. The romance, the wordage, the utterly perfect characterization! Oh I cannot wait for more! The payoff of three princesses all falling hard for May and the subsequent sharing. Oh and it is so clear that all three are colluding in the seduction of this poor broken man. I cannot WAIT for the payoff!
DUDE!!!! Glad to have you back. Also, what the hell is this, and why is it so goddamned beautiful? I don't think I've ever had the pleasure of reading so good of a chapter in a long while, so....CONGRATULATIONS!!!! You made me happy dammit!
9005592 The whole story was the prologue, which was about 3k and then the second chapter that completed the story with 1.7m words. I only managed to finish 100k before it was removed. After that I forgot the author's name, but I know he stopped posting on Fimfiction after that.
But my second record find was 88k chapter that is still up.
If I could give one minor piece of advice. Be careful not to give your Main character a mental disorder. I am not being mean, hear me out. As I read the story it was obvious from the start that the character was a major introvert. As the story continued It became obvious that the Main Character was a border line functional introvert. This last chapter, He is a solid no question at all, asperger syndrome victim.
Don't get me wrong, I love your story and I can tell by how you wright that your a non functional introvert like me. (You lay in bed at night beating yourself up about a choice you made six years ago, mulling it over for hours. Non functional introverts are extremely hard on themselves and viciously judgmental on the choices we made.) Its a good story, and I dam sure want to see more, but be dam careful not to make your character a functional sociopath. He is right on the dam boarder.
Please keep up the great work, as you kind of got me hooked.

PS, Points for the reversed gender rolls. You don't beat people over the head with it like some Authors, but its nice to see. It always feels screwed up when I read a MLP story where stalions ask the mares out, or is the head of the household. There is one stalion for every 4 to 6 mares, depending on the city and area. So its a no brainer mares would be out front. I like seeing it in the fandom.
I haven't read it yet. And I definitely will, but... 66K!!!!!!!!! What the hell!? Couldn't have broken it up some??????
Ahm, anyway... bet it will be awesome. Looking forward to reading it.
Edit: Ok done reading it, my first impression... how can you make me feel so much?
I had anger, joy, laughter, sadness, wonder, pondering, and a dozen other minor emotions. That's impressive considering I've read stories that don't make me feel half that and I still like them.
Fantastic job, I want more, when will there be more?
Had a hard time getting through the first part where he is mentally beating himself up. Frikkin guy has problems period. I am just going to skip that part cause it seemed like the story was spinning it tires there.
3 days it took me 3 days to finish this chapter and it was by far the longest I've ever read congratulations you've officially worn out my poor brain but still an great read
On a side note what is the Earth equivilat of that book that was mentioned?
god damn man took me so long to get through this chapter took me like 4 days to get it done. that was a chore an a half to finish it especially me cuz of my dyslexia. but still worth it tho. as much as I appreciate the big update, smaller bites would be nice too. I lost my place so many times.
Man I tried to slog through this in one sitting but boy is it hard. There’s a strong tendency you have to run on and on about things which don’t really seem to move either the story or the characters forward. Halfway through and all’s that’s been done is him talking to himself about Luna, walking to his room and him talking to Twilight about magic. It would be more bearable if it was at least broken down into smaller chapters. It’s good but you could be great
Ho ly, shhhhhh, that was long and intense. Its probably my favorite story now, all the innuendos and tidbits! I just hope you split the next chapter into smaller chunks so they come out faster than the last juggernaut😀
My deepest thanks for a riveting story; from teacher to teacher
*Gets update* “Oh, he’s back.”
*See’s word count* “ASLSKNADSFJDDKFLSJFLDKJSAKJEK;LK;EJFEF;K;KLKSD;KLTHP!”
Jesus Christ! That word counter though. This entry may be the longest chapter I've ever read!!!
JESUS H. CHRIST ON A FUCKING POGO STICK!! That word count! Guess I have something to read while I take a shit.
Yeah, and who do you think the poor sap was that had to edit this thing? Then again: SilentKnight, I would be glad to help with the next chapter once the overhaul is done.
Really nice chapter though.
Oh hey an upd-OH MY GOODNE-damn it, you guys beat me to the punch...
But I'm glad to see this story continue.
Yes! Thank Faust, it's still alive. Great chapter!
That word count
Guess we know what took so long now.
66K+ Words?!?!
Sweet lord, how long did you plan this chapter?
I question on how you made a chapter this long...but it was SO worth it. Especially finding out twilight, Luna and possibly Celestia been in cahoots in their relationship with Matthias.
Oh wow. I remember reading the first three chapters and loving the writing and premise then BAM! huge new update! Oh I'm going to enjoy reading this! Glad to see you writing! Thank you!

What the fuck
Hello. Nice to see you again

Do I spy a reference to The Ninth Gate?

A 66k chapter, wow.
I only remembered one story that ever reached this close in word count once, that was Fallout Equestria. I even had to go back just to confirm, ch.37 51k words. So congrats, you've pushed past a classic's limits
I'll leave this one here folks - I'm here all week....
(Edit: Just realised that you threw in the weight conversion too you sly bastard...)
Yessssss, give me that sweet, sweet pinning, oh, you wonderful bastard
Oh, 66 thousand words, no wonder I felt this chapter was pretty long.
What's crazy is, I didn't even notice it was long until I was 3/4's the way in.

I'm wondering if anyone has been on Fimfiction for long enough to have seen the 1.7m word chapter that was posted years ago before it was taken down for being "too long".
i mean i mad that i took so long but i'm also happy that its a 66k chapter.
Does that make me sound ungrateful ?
I just had to reread this amazing story and I couldn't be more satisfied. The romance, the wordage, the utterly perfect characterization! Oh I cannot wait for more! The payoff of three princesses all falling hard for May and the subsequent sharing. Oh and it is so clear that all three are colluding in the seduction of this poor broken man. I cannot WAIT for the payoff!

That sounds amazing, and it was only a chapter?
Damn
DUDE!!!! Glad to have you back. Also, what the hell is this, and why is it so goddamned beautiful? I don't think I've ever had the pleasure of reading so good of a chapter in a long while, so....CONGRATULATIONS!!!! You made me happy dammit!
The final boss of word counts
