Most humans go to Equestria. Unfortunately for Devin, he gets thrown off course, landing square into the Frozen North, where the snow is aplenty, the lack of life is high, and the only ones to save him are the Yaks. They like to smash...
...and smash again.
For Devin, he would hope to not get smashed to bits. He wasn't a fan of that. Luckily, the Yaks had something in mind, something that would earn their respect, and would make sure Devin would survive in their lands. All he had to do was participate in some initiation ritual Prince Rutherford declared as his saving grace and survive to tell the tale.
Hopefully Yona could help out. She was his trainer, after all.
Another idea that was inspired by FamousLastWords's brainstorming session. Maybe he needs to write more HiY/HiE on his main instead of shipping an aged-up Spike with every female character in the show. Nah that's not going to happen.
EDIT: Off Hiatus and original chapter now edited to clear any grammar mistakes, and to add more character to the characters presented. Hope you don't mind. Update soon.
Luv you bby

Hey, Mike. I'm posting this in dark mode.
I am going to smash you.

Fixed it for you!
5/10, not enough smashing.
Seriously though, this is an interesting idea, I look forward to seeing where it goes.
Death by snu snu!!
10522525
why
One of the best Yak stories I read
>not using the general yak tag to maximize tagged yaks
>not using the OC tag to properly tag your human character
Smh broski
10522885
Wait there's a general yak tag?!
Also I thought the human tag covered that, since the ocs in this aren't main characters.
10522978
Yeah, you just type in 'yaks' in the character tag index. Even the stories in the similar section have it.
Human is a genre tag. It just means humans, humanoid, or humanization is included. Devin is an OC.
10523015
Ah fuck, fair point. Fixing tags as we speak.
10523040
A pro-gamer move for sure. 🙏

10523527
Thank you for tracking my fic! I hope you'll enjoy it as much as I do already! Writing this has been a blast, so I can't wait to write more of it!
10522872
Thank you!
10522676
Thanks, Venerable Ro. There will be more smashing, I promise you that!
Wonder how long it will take for him to start speaking in some variety of third person.
Ooooo, this looks nice. I'll be following this this story, let's see where it goes!
YAK SMASK LIKE AND FAVORITE!!!
Wait, wrong website.
10525032

10698683
Will inform. ^^
Tbh, haven't able to write due to a rough couple of months at work. Things are looking up though and I'm wanting to put some words on the page. Not going to gaurantee it though, as the times are always changing.
Got about 1k already written for the next chapter.
10737860
glad to hear it, a lot of good 'anon' stories just shrivel up and die and I'm rather tired of the endless pattern of finding a good one, then having it wither away before my eyes like a piece of fruit left to rot

this comment was painful to read 2 years later

Would be cursed if I just update this in the next couple days.
I'm totally going to do that now. On Hiatus status removed. Story chapter is now updated to be more akin to what I would post now. Four hundred word difference!
I hope Yona will be able to help our guy. “Yona take String. String belong to Yona now.”
Rutherford: “Me thought you like Sand pony.”
Yona: “Yona like many things.”
Rutherford: “Yaks these days. Me no know no more.”
Not sure how many people still have this on their tracking, but I hope whoever does enjoys the chapter.

I'm new, so I won't deny that I had high expectations for this story when I found it. I'm not usually a fan of HiE stories (too many "Marie Sue" characters, platonic romances in the first 5 chapters with main characters or sarcastics like Deadpool), they're not my cup of tea but I totally respect if someone else likes those stories. In all the time I've been on this page I only remember reading one other story about yaks...and it was a comedy (I highly recommend it), just for that this story already stands out in my point of view. That and the fact that the main character rejects Twilight herself from going to Equestria and decides to stay with the yaks is quite unique...and I liked it XD. I'll be on the lookout for any updates.
I wasn’t expecting Twilight to show up! She is right about her objections, though.
Humans have a difficult time in those conditions; usually involving fur and feather-based clothing. His headaches might be due to the cold, lowered immunity, lack of water, and likely a nutrient deficiency. Yaks don’t seem like they do protein, and cold places are not good places for vitamin foods most of the year… unless Equestria has some cold-producing berry plants?
I kinda want to root for some romance, but I think Yona will be fun regardless!
.... *cackles*
I thought this doggarn story was dead! Barv, get in here! We got more yakwords!
On a more serious note, I actually had this in my Left Unfinished bookshelf. So imagine surprise when this story suddenly updates!
12037725
First off, welcome! I hope you enjoy this fic as it updates. :)
Second, going to address some of the stuff you said. I do agree that some HiEs turn the romance up to eleven right away, which can help if you're wanting to get that out of the way from the get-go, but it really would be confusing if this one suddenly turned into that. Trust, I have zero intention of having romance in this fic. Wholesome moments? Sure, but just as friends.
Was the thought from the get-go, but the original draft of this skipped over this entire interaction, which I hated. I'm not sure why in 2020 I took this one when I didn't have a clear vision of what I wanted, hence why this fic has laid dormant for so long. I had the urge to update something on the 8th and felt like I could do this now that I've had several HiEs under my belt completed mostly one-shots, but I'm closing in on a longer fic completion here soon. Good to finally address this one and hopefully get it across the finish line too!
12037783
Always love your comments, Foster. Hope to address some of your comments here and well, see above for the romance part.
12037803
Don't count out any of my old fics yet! Gotta let people know I'm still around (and not stuck in the AiE bender I look like I'm in). As I said above, the original draft doomed this fic from the start, and now having a clearer vision of where to go, I'm confident I can go the distance with this one. It's all but a matter of time now.
12037846
Wow, first of all thank you very much for reading and responding to my comment. I personally have nothing against stories with romance, they are not my favorite stories but I don't dislike them either. I am very interested in knowing how you will develop the attitude and culture of the yaks, in the series they don't give much information about it although it is noticeable that they are a bit inspired by Viking things. Good luck with this new project of a longer story.
P.S.: Needless to say in this AU, Equestria girls isn't canon, right?
12037923
I love reader interaction, so responding to comments is one of my favorite things next to actually releasing new content. Sometimes I forget to respond even though I totally thought I did but hey, nobody said I was perfect, unless 6-D Pegasus jumps in and says so, but I highly doubt he'll read this message. I am really invested in diving into the Yak culture actually. I'm going to rewatch a few episodes where they were in it just to get what they did splurge out for us to use as canon and go from there. Don't get it twisted, this isn't an AU actually. If there is any canon that I'm missing here, let me know! And as for your spoiler comment: I'd like to think that EQG is around, but I won't spoil the fic for you as to why that's the case.
12037927
One of my favorite parts is being able to comment on a story and get the author's opinion or point of view on a specific part of the story. I also apologize if I have any spelling or writing mistakes, English is not my language.
Never say never, we don't know how the universe can surprise us, both for good... and for bad. One piece of advice I can give you is that there isn't that much information about yaks in the series, but where I'm sure you could find more information is in the G4 comics, the main one that comes to mind is "MLP FIM #55: Wings Over Yakyakistan". And speaking of perfection, I dedicate this image to everyone here:

Monkey brain likes yak persona
it's exactly what i thought lol
I'd forgotten about this story. Here's hoping that the silly human doesn't freeze to death for not going south with Twilight.
Honestly if he sweated that much I’d be more concerned about water over food.
Glad to see this story back. Not many yak stories here and I'm excited to see how you tell it.
