This is a story about a sheep. A little sheep, locked deep in prison, put there by ponies. He doesn't want to be there, but then he's had to do a lot of things he doesn't want to. It's a shame he deserves to be in there.

This was almost setting up for a sequel and I got far too excited. Crimson looked ready for a small crusade of his own, Resistance 2.0 in the Everfree.
The bittersweet works well though, better than the predicted tragedy, dare I add. Prey never gets anything for free, but Crimson can have a little something, can't he?
i am having fucking feelings. It is been an honor to read this masterpiece with all of you. This it's beautiful. If you ever release a fisic version of this book im gonna buy it.
My english is really bad and i cant express how much i love your story. So all i can say is thank you, thank you for this.
it will always be my head canon that celestia died from the injuries she received from prey, and that on her death bed with death finally looming on her, fear of something she never thought she face, she hallucinated a little lamb which smiled at her
Well you won't see me complaining. Crimson (and even Prey, I suppose) is happy, and that makes me happy. Who cares about anything else?
If you'll excuse me, I'm off to inject several gallons of copium directly into my bloodstream.
In the end, history is written by the survivors. Crimson lives on... With an echo of Prey to keep him company. That is a good ending.
That was perfect
I reread this paying more attention and I now see how Prey lived, I need to pay more attention lol.
Hooph. I'd been having Thoughts about these last few chapters, but now I have Feelings about them. It still feels a bit abrupt, but most good stories do, and without the hint of a book running out of pages it was going to feel that way no matter what.
This ending feels so much better than what I was expecting: either the classic Reformed Villain story, or a Roaring Rampage of Revenge. The former would have had Prey twisting himself into a wholly different person, whereas the latter... well, as satisfying as I would have found it, I don't think Prey would have enjoyed it. But here? Here at least everyone gets to come to peace on their own terms, and are content enough with things.
But most of all, this is a good ending because it leaves things in a place where things can happen, but they don't have to in order to get the most out of this story. (Though I kinda wish that Celestia was taken out by bad take out. Oh well, here's hoping that it happened once she retired.)
Now, I'm gonna epub this story and let it live on all my devices for all time.
It feels like I've been holding my breath for quite a while. This story is exhausting. I'm just so tired and I want to cry. This story made me happy.
It will forever be my headcanon that Prey somehow got away from Celestia and no one can stop me.

Simple. Thank you. π

Yeah, neither of those endings really fitted. First, Prey is/was not reformed at all. Changed, but not reformed.
Second, revenge has been a huge theme in this story, and it always goes horribly, sadly, tragically, hollowly wrong.

You know, it's strange; endings. It's said to be happy it happened, not sad it's over. But I feel both. Sad that this story has come to an end, but happy for it. So immeasurably so. The ending is certainly not what I expected, nor is it what I even really hoped for. But it fits. I think it's better for it.
And, internally, I've been infected with that ridiculous, undeniable, accursed thing, hope. That this is not the end. That there will be more, or another. I hope, no matter how implausible.
But I think that even if nothing were to ever be published again on Prey, and Crimson. Or even Lemon Pink. I would still be happy.
Thank you. You are sterling.
I wish there was more that I could say, but that's all there is, isn't it?
Take care, and good luck.
What a ride. It was pleasure to read this masterpiece alongside everyone here. Goodnight.
Thank you for your weakness. I share it especially here and am so very thankful to have a wholesome note to end
Thank you for the story my friend truly a work of art you have created here.
It's been a long 3 years I've been reading and re-reading this story, it it brings me so much joy to see it finally get it's finale.
That bittersweet punch to the gut when I saw those last 3 chapters on my tracking list, that little green bar with complete sitting next to them announcing that one more fantastic story has closed it's cover.
Dude I can't thank you enough for sticking with this story for as many years as you did, for bringing us such a great story to read and theorize on.
*sigh*
It's over. Thank you.
I am quite sad that the story ended but all things have to end eventually.
Due to the vast amounts of copium flowing through my bloodstream I am still holding out hope that lemon pink eventually brings gloom and prey back from death. Until my large supply of copium runs out I will be unable to be convinced of anything else. Maybe if prey goes to an all you can eat buffet it will satisfy the hunger enough to bring him back to life.
The ending was very nice, gloom gets his peace, prey is forever safe in death, lemon gets to have her own life, time moves ever onwards.
The only thing Iβm a bit annoyed at is that my own hunger, my hunger for good stories, is going to start up again. So I guess itβs back to the unending sifting through titles and descriptions for meβ¦ After I reread my favorite parts of this gem of a story.
Iβll look forward to any story you might write in the future. Whether it be 2 weeks from now, a month, a year, or even a decade, I do hope you write another story. (Donβt tell any other author I said this, but you are definitely the best author I have ever seen, maybe even the best Iβll ever see)
This has been one of the best stories I have ever read. While I admit I was hoping for Prey and a Deer, this ending feels so right. It was a wild ride but one that I will cherish.
This venture was fun while it lasted, and for that I thank you.
Broken, but loved. And sometimes that's enough.
This was absolutely the right ending.
Thank you for letting us have this!
It's been a hell of ride, been reading this since sophomore year, thank you :)
Bro that interaction would be so fucking good as a short story. Zecora would get so fucking scared lmao
ohh ma god. theyre back together. yes YES i am actively crying as i type this. it might not be just like before, but prey is still here with crimson. this is downright the most incredible, astounding story ive ever read. ive never read any physical book greater than this, and i really, truly mean that. i love this story. it may be hard to accept that itβs ended, but the knowledge that prey has managed to manifest for crimson is enough to sate me. genuinely, this story is beautiful.
I love this story so much I am going to miss seeing it update
It's hard to describe the feelings I have when reading a story like this. A story that balances itself on the edge of nihilism and existentialism. Somehow, you have written a story that never truly fails itself into either concept. Instead, we get, what is probably the best ending we can get: A mix of the two.
This story will forever be one of my all time favorites, as I find myself neither happy nor sad about its completion. I am simply content, and that is all I need it to be.
I don't care. Prey has a brother and lemonpink may one day bring gloom back in some form. So I don't care. In some world all three will be together again.
I'm very angry but only because the story is over and that's the stage of grief I'm on. Or bargaining maybe. In any case, it's not the ending I wanted but it's one that certainly fits. It doesn't feel fair that everything came crashing down solely because Prey was ten seconds too late getting out of a hallway, but that's life, and life isn't fair. Prey gets to be some horrifying hell-abomination like he was always destined to be (that ribbon is probably indestructible), Crimson gets to find some closure, and I can hopefully cope with the grief I feel.
I'm happy that Celestia gets to look in the mirror every day and see the true her, and know Prey was right. She would deny it, hell, she'd unravel him again in an instant, but every day she has to cast off her regret. The thought of it makes me smile. One little lamb managed to cripple a goddess, and she'll never know it could have been so much worse. I hope she has nightmares about it.
Also Jesus Christ man I was not prepared to be emotionally bludgeoned for like a month and a half straight that was brutal. I will miss this story harder than any other, no exaggeration, it's been my constant companion for years now. It may well have permanently changed how I think, even.
Lastly (or not), I would pay 500 bucks for a hard copy of this. Heck, I have a friend in the middle third of arc three who'd do the same. Seriously please consider making it availiable even if it's on a made-to-order and expensive basis to avoid costs to yourself or something. I said back when arc three was coming out I'd love to help support your journey as an author and that offer still stands to this day. Just saying. It's quite literally the least I feel comfortable with for how much I enjoyed this.
Lastly (for real), me and some friends would like to start an audiobook of this because we have other friends who are total wussies and only want to listen to a bible worth of fiction for some reason. We don't know how far we'll go but my hope is all the way (even though that is at least a hundred thrityish hours of audio) with a middling production quality. Obviously, we'd like your permission to do so. Also we'd like to know if you're gonna rewrite the first two chapters because if you are we'd have to redo them and they are fairly thicc. Some of us would also like to potentially monetize the project further in to some extent to try and motivate ourselves once it becomes a slog but for that we would definitely need your permission and we'd definitely want to share. I should make it extra clear we will not do that without express consent, it is your story and you have the right (in every sense) to all of the gain that ever can come from it, whether it be praise or cold hard worthless bits.
P.S. I cannot stress to you enough how happy this story has made all of us. It is number one on my list of best fictions ever and I think it's there for other people too. I cannot adequately describe how much I love it, and how much I respect your dedication and story telling abilities. People who aren't even into MLP read it. If you keep writing (and you should, you're absolutely great at it) please keep us updated because I'd be more excited than Fidel Castro in an icecream parlour with nuclear waffle cones.

Crimson: *sees Personification of HUNGER itself*
Crimson: "Want a hug?"
Prey: "You know what? Yes. Yes I do."

Crimson: "Please go away."
Zecora: *staring at the thing snuggled on top of Crimson's back*
Prey: "YoU hEaRd hIm. Go AwAy, LiTtLe WiTcH."
*claps* you glorious bastard you did it, fucked my sleeping schedule but who cares prey made it back... sort of. I hope you write more not necessarily about prey or even this world but just anything. You've gone and hooked me but good and i want more. Thank you for this glorious ride.
And that's it. What a ride.
This has been an amazing story. I really connected to prey's cynicism and thoroughly enjoyed seeing his perspective of people. His growing love for Gloom and Crimson that I as the reader felt with him.
Just as I do with FIM I'm going to miss waiting for new chapters. You tell an amazing story Lambs Prey. If you create more stories on this platform I cannot wait.
I love to collect mlp stories in hard back book form. You may not have any plans for printing this story but if your okay with it I'd love to print this for my own collection.
We are all suckers for a happy ending. Thank you for this wonderful story.
I will miss sacrificing my left mouse click in the ritual of refreshing.
Very well done.
This shall be one of my favourite stories until I unfortunately forget about it. But when I inevitability remember about it and reread it, itβll go straight back up there.
Are there any plans for a new story moving forward or shall this be a 1 hit wonder?
This book was amazing and I am interested in what other things you might one day write.
It was probably the most horrible MC death I have ever read, although I suspect it was because I cared so much for Prey. "Such obliteration is horrible" is the phrase that comes to mind.
Thank you so much for that hug.
And thank you so much for writing.
This is the single best fanfiction I have read on this website. There were times where I was terrified that the story would be left in an incomplete state, never to be fully realized. I am very thankful that this story has been completed.
If you do a physical printing if this story, I will buy it in a heartbeat.
Thanks again for taking us on this journey.
I wish you the best of luck in whatever you do next.

You especially will probably appreciate this, but as I've said before, my favourite story book as a child when it was read to me was Watership Down. Bearing that in mind, I guess you can easily see the parallels with the ending.
11187410
That is a brilliantly amusing idea, thank you for the mental image. π
11187131
It was a long road that had no turning, but I refused to trail off and let it die. That would have been unfair and is the number one thing I hate in online stories. That they never get the ending they deserve.
But anyway, about the story, glad you enjoyed it so much. Good luck and I hope you do find a great replacement story, really I do! π
11187145
Well in that case, I hope you do not hunger in vain. I myself have spent far, far too many hours trawling through stories looking for one that will actually satisfy. It's sad. π Good fortune in your continued hunt for a worthy read. (*insert witty comment about Prey and hunting*)
11187465
Thank you. I like to think I certainly learned a lot more about writing. (Not perfect, but better than I was)
As for your own wants, you can do whatever you wish with it. π This is Fanfiction, and as such, people should enjoy it in that spirit.
This was one of the best stories I have ever read on this site. Though this ending is a bit confusing.
It's beautiful.
