Mark blinked. "W-what? I, sure?" He imagined a random mare with an attitude problem. "I'll be gentle with her, but I'll take care of her, yeah!"

Awwww~

Looking forward to more.

What's the upload schedule or do u even have one

This protag is incredibly weird ngl. The way he talks to his horses makes me feel like he was already interested in them way before he got sent to magic pony land.

Whoa, didn't expect that ending at all! Great job on this, I can't wait for what comes next.

I said it in the author notes, and it's posted in my blog. I try to post schedules for all my patron stories.

11991927
He was a caring horse owner.

11991927
Yet we've all seen dog and cat owners act far worse... Waaaay worse.

This guy is passionate about taking care of horses. I've never heard of someone getting weird with horses in modern times. Dogs and cats, on the other hand...lots of weirdos there.

11991983
I wasn't even aware talking to random animals is all that odd. I must be an oddball, oops.

11991987
Yeah, it's not. Meanwhile, I've seen owners do that kissy sound with perked cheeks one would make for babies aimed at full-grown dogs and cats.

I just find their comment a bit ironic.

Is the circumbinary going to be literal or rhetorical? Will he get to raise his own sun? Sounds like he is a horse sized pony now. With an M rating I expect the care for Celestia will get a little kinky.

Will his horses become ponies too or remain horses?

11991927
It's not weird, it's a beautiful bond. Mark sees them as family, and they (even the stallions) probably see him as the lead stallion. The protector. But there was a difference in species which meant the mares didn't see him as anything other than a protector even if they saw him as the lead stallion. Human pheromones don't do anything for a horse because there's no genetic compatibility. Hypothetically, if he was married and his wife was just as close to them, they'd probably see her as the leader of their little herd. It's similar to pet dogs seeing the humans as part of the pack. Anyway, considering Discord's intent with this offer, it's fitting that Mark's wife would be the lead mare because...well, Celestia. Now that there's no longer a species barrier between him and his horses (not to mention the uplifting to sapience on the horses' part), I wouldn't be surprised if the mares start seeing him in an entirely different light. Oh, and that colt will probably start thinking of Mark (or Solaris now I guess) as his sire.

An interesting beginning, almost similar in a way to Crossing Rainbow Bridges, your other story I am following, Looking at your tags, I am going to take the leap of faith and guess that there will be some Human X pony here, which I expect would be rather calm and not get to the edge of porn, thank you very much, but probably how you did with
Twilight and Company coming to Earth, but without the nerdy magic stuff.

This was really great from start to fnish well done Lad

Interesting first chapter…

Horses are social animals that can form strong emotional bonds with their persons. Recent research reveals they are a lot smarter than previously believed and can accurately interpret human facial expressions and body language.

So, Discord created an entire history for them to slot into?

As a fan of ponies, and just as much fan of well-written stories, I tend to be leery when it comes to utilizing Discord (the character) in any given tale. He isn't called Discord for no reason, after all. (And cue the meme: "Come, come now, Captain! You must simply get into the game!" or something along those lines between Q and Captain Picard...)
So, having said that, I expect to learn of the fine print to this "Contract"...

11992240
It looks like it but I am still kind of unsure.

OK I think you need to pump the breaks a little, dude has no reaction to turning into a pony, takes one look at Celestia and instantly asks her out, and she accepts without hesitation, in the span of like 5 minutes.

11992325
Fair. We certainly get caught up in the rapid developments along with him.

But also: "Okay. I've clearly agreed to some sort of deal with a devil, and it's taken effect immediately. I know the terms, and my beloved horses (and myself) are probably in trouble if I don't meet my end of the bargain."
>>sees goddess-horse
"Hm. Maybe this won't be so bad. Won't be hard to fall in love with that."

11992325
The main character spends several times in this chapter gaping at how alien he is, and she is, but is drawn despite it.

Well, this chapter answered most of my previous questions. Horses are mostly side sleepers, something back sleeping humans need to get used to. It's love at first site when you meet a Horse Goddess. I'm only surprised he didn't drop it when he saw her.

It will be interesting to find out what discord created for him and his ponies backstory.

11991983
You must not look then, which is understandable, but if you think it doesn’t happen then you’re just being naive lol.

Hmmm, it's been shown that Blizzard has wings, nothing was said about Bookmark (horned or not). Solaris has it implied he's an alicorn ('fellow sun-raiser') but no self-comment on implied wings (they should be pretty self-evident), the horn, not so much, though shadows (in some directions) and mirrors should bring it to light (though shock and confusion could cover the first 24) ... we'll see if there's a 'how did I miss this/these' in the morning ...

11992433
Solaris's wings.

Solaris stepped after her, wings flaring. "W-wait! Will I see you again?"

Solaris's horn.

"And I'd like to be spoken to." She leaned in, touching her slender horn to his. "But if I'm away too long for my own birthday, they will begin to speak of it. I shall return to you."

11992325 I have to agree. This is a good idea, but It feels like we've skipped some steps. There's barely even any shock or body dysphoria, and the whole introduction of the other ponies has been skipped over. Discord might be random, but he should have at least briefed the guy on the cover story.

"Yes, you're a horse. You'll need to be to fit in."

"Your name is Price Solaris, and your realm has been destroyed by a great evil. You could only save a few of your subjects, but you managed to send out a call for help, and me, being the great and generous guy I am responded, and transported you and those you rescued here. I also made sure you couldn't be traced, which is why you won't speak of any detaiuls, as it risks attracting the evil's attention."

Takes a book out of thin air called, 'Alicorning for dummies', puts it in a blender and pours the resultant smoothie down Solaris's throat when he tries to speak. His eyes widen as he suddenlly absorbs the knowledge.

"Yes, mon prince, your near immortal, super strong and tough, you've got working wings, magic is a thing which you can do with your horn , which you also have, and you raised the sun and moon for your subjects, just like Celestia does. She'll probably ask you to sub for her once she gets to know you."

I always liked this look.

The beard makes me think of the RDJ Tony Stark. Pony Stark? Iron Stalion?

11992429
Why would I actively look for it? Is that...what you're into? Guess I shouldn't be surprised, you've got clopfics in your favs... Hypocrite.

11992676

11992429
Please, calm. I am hoping to weave interesting words for you both to enjoy. :heart:

hello again Silver

11992676
…..you- you do realize what type of fic this is gonna be right?

Also I actively said that its understandable that you wouldn't look at it. If you can't bother actually reading before responding then you may as well save your energy lest you make yourself look illiterate.

Would also like to point out the irony in you trying to take a jab at clopfics, while following crimsonwolf, a guy who pretty much exclusively writes clopfics. Unless it was meant to be a self diss, in which case…

Interesting, though I feel like this happened way too fast.

Well then
Apparently this patron wants some SPICE!
nice

11992844
Hi there! Enjoying the sights, I hope.

Be interesting to find out what Celestia and the other ponies think the new arrivals’ backstory actually is and where they got it from. If nothing else, the name “Solaris” had to come from some source that’s unlikely to have been either its new owner or any of his former horses...

a supper interesting story.. i will be watching close to see how this all plays out.

loving this story.

So just finished up and oml everything happened WAY to fast for my liking, still quite an interesting story and I'll continue to keep this story in mind. I'm just dissatisfied with that instant transition with no substance, needs more work.

:rainbowhuh::applejackunsure:

11992325
I feel like it's more of a shock while ignoring doubts and shit for a moment when he can have his breakdown. We can't forget Discord being able to brainwash someone, so the probability of him keeping a few ponies calm, at least for the moment, shouldn't be much of a stretch. Also, no body dysmorphia is probably too Discord's tinkering with shit.

At this point, to not break my immersion, any inconsistencies I find, I just blame Discord for touching things he probably shouldn't. And probably are close to the Truth.

"Fellow sun-riser", "from far away nation", huh? Either some things were left unsaid and we lack info, she is onto him, or at least has some suspicions, or physics are really wonky. Or Discord did a thing. Or really equus now has two suns, and Celestia believes he raised the other. Either, or.
I feel like things went too fast and some (a lot of) things are left unsaid creating holes.
Maybe he'll get a dream or info dump from Discord to explain to him (and mainly us) how things went like they said they went because while I like the premise, I'm mighty confused because my lore isn't loring.

11994748
It's more fun to imagine how it does fit together.

One bit that stood out to me:

"Solaris." Equestria was approaching with her flowing mane and tail. "Good to see you."

I wasn’t aware the country had a hippomorphic personification in this story. Must have clearly missed the memo. :twilightsheepish:

11997168
Then again, I also noted that. However, I took it mean Celestia anyway, as She IS Equestria, in a sense, being the ruling Princess.

11992570

Takes a book out of thin air called, 'Alicorning for dummies'

Is it written by 'Nopony McPretend-Smith'?

"Solaris." Equestria was approaching with her flowing mane and tail. "Good to see you."

That's a weird image. Also 'Equestria' here should be 'Celestia'.

really loving this story , something about it just clicks with me.

He came to a sharp halt at hearing his old name.(—— He looked to the source and saw an even tinier pony than usual.
