RATED TEEN FOR THE FOLLOWING CONTENT WARNING: The following contains discussion of transphobia and trauma. Reader discretion is advised.
Ink Scroll wasn't always a pony. She was once a human, struggling to survive and thrive as her authentic self. One day, a mysterious magical accident brought her to Equestria. After the initial shock, she became the chief curator of the Ponyville Historical Society and employed by Princess Twilght Sparkle herself. This is her first holiday season in Equestria, and she is alone. That is until a couple visitors appear at her door.

This was brilliantly done. Heartfelt, emotional, and very relatable (although not trans myself, my disability means I often struggle to fit into the tiny boxes society expects of people). I'd love to see more adventures with this character, but this is a solid Hearth's Warming story.

No problem. May your time here be long.
My friend, I would just like to say thank you.
As a trans mare myself, with a non accepting family, this time of year is especially difficult. But, you have brought a smile to my face on this day, and for that I truly thank you.
I wish you only the best for your future stories, and Happy Hearthswarming!

I'm glad my story could make you happy. Happy Hearth's Warming.
Well its because we dont exactly have a herd mentality Rarity
aww Manehattan is such a good place to add all the weird specialty shops we want to exist in Equestria
Celestia i wish this were me
aww that is so fitting and nice!
i wonder if Applejack recognizes a kinship in their accents
aww Rarity is so good at describing things delicately
so true, she would be disturbed as would anypony at just how horrifically awful humans are about this
even more horrifyingly worse than this! thirty to twenty years old in very specific geographical areas with a tiny minority of the world’s population, and even within those areas acceptance is still not universal
so true
too relatable to all too many people, sigh. i would hug ponies and cry with them over so many, many things about this place
the rest of us may be stuck here, but i am genuinely glad for her that she doesn’t have to be.
happy belated Hearth’s Warming! wishing you the best of these holidays

Glad you enjoyed it.
A short read, and leans on a lot of exposition.
But even so, you manage to draw the reader in with what I assume is a very personal and real experience. I find myself wanting to know more about Ink Scroll and her life in Equestria.
