A man is mistakenly taken from his home after a botched experiment and is stuck in Equestria as a creature called a hippogriff. After Princess Celestia fails to return him back to Earth and back to his original from, and after some time feeling angry and depressed, he decides to buy an old Cabin Cruiser sky ship and embarks on a journey to explore every inch of the world and live out his days in solitude.
At least, that's what he thought he was gonna do until he meets a unicorn named Tempest Shadow. Join Maverick as his quest of solitude turns into a quest of adventure, treasure hunting, romance, and doing whatever the heck he wants with his pirate crew of misfits called the Sky Pirate Cowboys. (He didn't name it. Stop laughing.)

Hmm, sounds like me in this guy’s shoes. Wanna see how this goes.
Wouldn't be a claw?
great chapter

Indeed. Thanks for the catch. I like writing at peak midnight hours when I'm sleep deprived :^)
didn't he say that they were more like acquintances?(i definitely spelled that wrong)
something about their conversation makes it sound much more like friends talking.
MMMM! YEAH! kokane! (probably not)
great chapter
The spell that caused him to keep pulled here probably ripped him out of his universe entirely making it basically impossible finding his universe in an endless soup of universes she's avoiding him to not tell him that he's stuck here, trying to let him get used to living in a Equestria (without tell him before breaking the news) she may have knew it was impossible to bring him home
* Edit* Damn pretty much spot on(what a alabaster bastard)
sounds interresting
Hi, your story has potential!
11389766
Rainbow thought of him as a friend, he thought of her as more of an acquaintance, up until now.
You have my interest.
Colour me intrigued. I'm following this little gem.
11390079
ok, yeah that was one of my guesses
I was excited for the premise until I read he's not in a human body....sorry but that ruins the human in equestrian theme. It's no more different than a native equestrian OC.
11390765
Sorry, bud. There's a plethora of other stories out there with something like that.
PRIATES!! mmmmm.. XD
If you'd like to borrow an OC for his crew, let me know via PM.
11391096
I like to hear it.
11391101
Are you interested in borrowing one? Just let me know via PM.
11391107
No, just want to know is all. I’m PMing you now.
Just finished with the first two chapters and looking forward to reading more.
Well hello there interesting little story. Just gonna drop a follow to see where this is going.
Is the airship in the cover picture the ship he'll be using, or is it there for fun?
Excited 4 more.
*Morgan Freeman voice* And it was then they knew that they f***ed up.
Poor Maverick. At least he can still have meat. Wait... How is Celestia gonna react to the fact that Maverick found out?
Hmm. Here is how I would react in this situation. "I DEMAND RETRIBUTION! HOW LONG WERE YOU PLANNING TO KEEP ME IN THE DARK CELESTIA?! UNTIL I DIED? JUST SWEEP ME UNDER THE RUG OR SICK TWILIGHT ON ME LIKE EVERYTHING ELSE IN YOUR PATHETIC MELINIA LONG EXISTANCE?! FUCK YOU I WILL BE THE TERROR OF YOUR SKIES AND YOUR SHIPS SHALL NEVER BE SAFE AGAIN!" And for the final word. "NO MORE TEA FOR YOU!"
I cannot wait to see what you write specifically though,
Whelp, Celestia's dry spell is certainly over after the royal service she gave Maverick.
great chapter
11391941
no more tea or cake!
CALLLLLED IT, AND SHE HID IT FOR 3 MONTHS AND ACTUALLY PHYSICALLY GHOSTED HIM
Edit* he been here for 8months in total that means she closed the door on the investigation THEN WAITED AND GHOSTED HIM FOR ADDITIONAL 4 MONTHS
Curse you Celestia...

No.... just the cake... "YOU SHALL NEVER HAVE CAKE AGAIN!!!!"
Right. The project was closed three months ago and no one thought to notify the accidental alien visitor who was kind of the most affected by the decision of even that little administrative fact. This had better be a genuine bureaucratic SNAFU, because if it turned out that Celestia or Twilight personally just decided to play secret keeper for some silly reason like “sparing his feelings”, well, that would be the real letdown here.
11392066
I can imagine Blueblood or some other stuck up noble would tell him that the princesses lost interest in helping him.
11392021
this is literally how you create villains
A Princess with a temper is present. And she just watched this individual have their hope crushed.
... similar situations indeed.
I knew it!
Now can we PLEASE get this crew hiring thing off the ground?!
Oh! Also, I like to point out is that to start a crew, you need a right-hand character for Maverick. Though I won’t tell you who I think should fit that role.
11392194
It's almost like she has some experience in that regard huh?
11392254
Tempest Shadow?
For someone that is teaching Twilight the values of friendship, Celestia sure did a big oopsie in the honesty department.
11392194
I don't know why this one didn't go my head until after but not only is he completely trapped in a completely new world has to abide by its rules(he's going to melt down because he's now trapped here and he has no idea what to do for this life-->adventuring pirate mode activated) and entirely different species permanently , she knowingly and willingly hid the fact that she's already closed the investigation for his teleport 3 months ago
11392351
Me thinks more like Luna
Out of all the "human-realising-he's trapped-forever-in-Equestria" situations I've read, this one is my favourite. The reaction was well done.
I assume that Maverick is a male Griffon? I'm just making sure I got this right.
11392403
To be fair, we *literally just saw* how incompetent the royal administration is, so it's entirely possible at this point that somepony was supposed to tell him the bad news but didn't actually do so.
11393019
Nah I don't think so,she literally sending messages to him and then suddenly stops, she knew why not tell him herself (it was her experiment) because she doesn't want too
