Thank you. So much. MS Word just autocorrects two hyphens into I believe the em dash, but this will be SO MUCH EASIER!
Ah. I missed this. So much awesome contained in such a, relatively, small space.
This is one of the few fics I really don't mind waiting for, because I know it's going to be good no matter what.
Good luck with the job stuff. I know the feeling... Apparently being a 3D Artist with a Bachelor Degree makes everyone think I know EVERYTHING there is to know about 3D. Yeah, no.

Glad to see another update from ya.
And really, Emeris is supposed to become a background observer in the story? Huh, wasn't expecting to hear that, considering, well, he's been the focus this whole time and it's been somewhat enjoyable reading about him. And poor guy, he's pretty fucked up in the mind. I wonder how this time spent merged with Twilight is going to affect how they interact once they unmerge.
It's alive!
IT LIVVVEEEESSSS
Excellent work good sir.
I have to ask a question though...why are you pushing for Emeris to go out of primary focus?
As far as I can tell this story is about Emeris and his transition from Phenomenal Cosmic Power to just plain folks. Wouldn't the instant he actually succeeded in fading into the background be the moment the story ends?
If you really want to change focuses, I'd prefer if you finished Emeris' tale and then wrote a sequel to eleventy-million chapters that appear to be aimless wanderings simply due to the sheer weight of words written.
Will definitely continue to keep reading regardless, you've earned that much
Beyond happy to see this back. Hopefully we won't have to wait as long for the next update, yeah?
Found a few more formatting issues:
missing color tag:
Extra end tag:
missing italics tag:
I was also browsing through the earlier comments and saw a reference to Merlin... Apparently Merlin is sometimes called Emrys in the TV series.
Regardless of how long it took to get this chapter out, it was worth it.
While I look forward to the resolution of TwiEm's issue, I am very much enjoying the dynamic of their interaction.
Oh, and I know aaaaaaall about having to fix up other people's messes after they've half-assed a job, so you have my sympathy for that.
Well, now that I've been reminded that this story exists, I think I'll give it a reread.
Ciao.
i did a double take when I saw the update show up in my email. Goddamn, that job must be working you to your bones.
Anyways, I don't mean to sound pushy, but, any ETA on the next one? Please don't let it be months later....
Glad to have you back. I don't think there has ever been a more awkward situation. Quite enjoyable.
SPit happens, no worries. I am glad your able to get back to writing this story, its been quite fun, and gives a real idea of the horrors of being a 'marry sue/gary stu.' Actualy, been considering putting pen to paper myself, and atempting to put something down.
Zombie stories are the best stories.
Geez, i could understand why twilight felt the way she does but what she did was horrible.
Yet emeris just decides "Oh, you violated everything i am and everything i ever will be, that's cool."
If this ends with anything other then Emeris telling twilight to go fuck herself and that he never wants to see her face again i'll be massively disappointed and probably go mope or something.

It's good to be back. I don't have an ETA on the next chapter yet, but it won't be that long of a wait again.

Emeris will remain the PoV character and will be a protagonist. But he's not the protagonist. The story isn't about him (though these first few arcs are). He's a part of the story, not the other way around
2610596
Emeris will never be a 'plain folk' anymore than the Elements of Harmony can for a variety of reasons. And that's just right now! Later on, it'll be even less so. And he will be dealing with the consequences of the GSE (and it's cause) for his entire life. However, I'm eager to get to the point where Emeris is a part of the plot rather than the focus of the plot.
I might do side-stories of other things happening, but the focus of this story is the characters, their relationships, their friendship, and the trials and tirbulations that come from being imporant players in Equestria for a variety of reasons (Twilight being Celestia's student and the Element of Magic just as an example).
2611936
This has actually been addressed in previous comments. Emeris is explicitly being stupid here. The fact that he's doing what you said is supposed to rub you wrong and make you a little uncomfortable with how easily he's dealing with/accepting it. Emeris is more fucked in the head than has already been revealed, the full extent of which will be revealed later.
Someone once compared Emeris to Emiya from Fate/Stay Night. This comparison isn't completely outlandish. While different and distinct, the two of them share a number of similarities.
The fact that Emeris pretty much has decided "Oh, you violated everything I am and everything I ever will be, that's cool." isn't supposed to sit right with you. It's supposed to make you uncomfortable and think, 'Something's wrong here.' And it will come back to bite him in the ass later.
For a while there I was certain that this was going to be another dead fic with potential, glad that you proved me wrong! Just hope that your next update will be a little bit sooner then last time. Gratz on the job, keep up the good work.
Ah, right. I had forgotten that they fused into one being.
Seemed a bit...forced in earlier chapters, them being fused, but I've grown to like it. It's interesting. Emeris having "the talk" about a certain thing that happens to guys in the morning was hilarious too.
update !!!
squee !!!
It is really great to know that this story is alive again
2612437
I do not know - Emeris's quick forgiveness does not sound so strange for me (strange still, but not so strange) - we all tend to forgive those dear to us, and he sympathize Twilight a lot, (at least it seems so for me).
What is bugging me - why Twilight did not freak out feeling guilty yet ? I mean she has to feel awfully guilty (especially taking into consideration Emeris's soft reaction), imho.
did a quadruple take when I saw this in my updates. also, I may have to get new pants. damn.
2612437
I hate how necessary it is for you to hint at how Emmy will get his ass bit by that forgiving attitude, and yet if you give any less, we wouldn't understand what you are trying to do, but if you gave anymore, it would be spoilers.
Until the chapter that it does though, I shall think of ALL the possible ways its gonna hurt. And hopefully be pleasantly surprised.
new chapter!!!!!
Hurray update.
2612437
TYPO SPOTTED:
Conused = confused
Future love triangle and molestation caused PTSD this guy just cant catch a brake can he. not even mentioning the fusion thing.
I love it when twi is just like "... seriously. Two of my friends?!" best line other than there problem when they woke up
Hell Yeah!!! Thank you for the update.
I missed this, it was all the way at the end... Sorry

It could be that she's sharing headspace with the cause of her guilt.
I'm not sure that she has really processed just how badly she has violated Emeris yet. After all, she's feeling everything that he feels, and he's to busy beating himself up trying to take all the blame for all the GSE crap that happened to feel angry at anyone else right now.
Another thing to consider is that most freakouts are because the person freaking out does not know what is going to happen - in this case if Emeris is going to blame Twilight for what she did. Again, not really an issue - she KNOWS that he does not blame her for it.
2621193
I'm not sure that she has really processed just how badly she has violated Emeris yet.
May be you are right, she has problem to solve and very tight schedule, as well as Emeris.
No much time for reflection.
But in that case, after all, when she will have time and when she process it all - that fact that she KNOWS that he does not blame her for it. - should only deepen guilt feeling, imho.
2622770
I agree, but as long as they're fused, I don't think Emeris will let her feel guilty.
Color!?
so glad this updated
Hey, you used my idea for a morning wood joke
This pleases me and my terribly dirty mind
A highly enjoyable update. Twilight gets some humility and sees how utterly broken the object of her hatred is. Mmmm, delicious. Also, you've managed to inspire me!
You might want to rethink how you write Rarity, darling. You do it mostly right, darling, but you have one problem, darling. You see, darling, every other word, darling, doesn't have to be darling, darling.
2612965
Thanks! And I agree. That took way too long.
2613237
Welcome! I try. And yeah, I'm not exactly happy with this arc unfortunately. But I've started and it's already mostly done so... blech.
2613565
What Aburi said. And it's a subtle thing. I like subtle story elements. I tend to make things overly subtle.

THERE ARE NO BRAKES ON THE EMERIS TRAIN!!! CHOO CHOO MOTHAH-FUCKAHS!!!
2618364
Yeah, I was happy with how that part turned out too
2640271
I told you I would!
2645897
Inspire what though?
2649102
I'm so sorry darling! It's just, that, darling, I have difficulty writing the darling that is Rarity! And I tend to overcompensate darling.
(More seriously, thanks, it does bear repeating, but I've been working on that, I've gotten better about it since I started )
2649210 That you have! The Editor in me kept bitching at me, so I had to point it out at the very least. As long as you noticed!
2649210
Got that right homeboy.
He didn't choose the chug life. The chug life chose him.
This is fantastic stuff right here. A wonderfully metafictional premise, a sincere and engaging original character, drama, comedy, romance, all leavened with pony social structures inspired by one of my favorite stories. Nice.
Definitely looking forward to more, whenever it may come.
2576109
Not dead! Working on it now
2607858 2609995 2610192 2610372 2610490 2610872 2611353 2611430
YES, IT LIVES (And I'm workin on more now )
2610232
Emeris is more of a 'normal' character, one of the protagonists certainly, but he's not THE protagonist and is actually less important than Twilight in the sense of the story.
2610596
This is me not being clear for the fear of spoilers. He never fades into the background, he can't for various reasons, he just stops being the focus of the story arc. He's always going to be the PoV character, but not as PLOT RELEVANT as he has been.
2611503
I rather liked the implication yet lack of information part
2611601
Go for it! I fully encourage it! Something much like this encouraged me to write as well!
2611936
Actually, this is supposed to be weird, Emeris' is being way too forgiving here. It's a deliberate character flaw rather than an accidental thing I did while writing a character. This is really going to bite him in the ass later. Like, permanently
2704462
Hope it's as wonderful as you desire
2771146 2771435 2779278
I usually prefer to respond to comments like these asap, but things have been rough, regardless!
This is more a joke than anything else, but also an indication of the nature of how I consider Pinkie's 'powers' and strangeness to work in this interpretation of Equestria. And it's not a case of power so much as loophole abuse.
It's the common perception of how Luna talks, and I did it because when I initially wrote it, that was her main accent/form of diction. Even though she's certainly aware of how to speak using modern diction, it's a habit to speak the way she does and she doesn't have a reason to speak otherwise with Emeris
I'm aware of the issue, I had some serious trouble writing Rarity originally and overcompensated, I haven't had the time to go back and clean that up a bit, instead focusing on Real Life and getting more chapters out. I have certainly made mistakes, but I've been trying to learn from them and improve the story from them

Replied the author to the 6 week old comments

Better late than never, I suppose.
Are you saying that basically, it'll be his PoV, but the 'conflict' will shift from him having to 'fit in' to something else in which he plays a part in? Saying he's not going to be the focus, no matter how vaguely, comes across as saying 'I'm somewhat putting him in the corner of the room' and is still a bit confusing.
By all rights he should be looking forward to ripping Twilight apart verbally when they separate. Jeez, not only invading his personal memories, all the deepest, hidden thoughts and experiences he's had laid bare for another to see, but then merging with said intruder.
2823332 No, can't say I've ever been turned into a Gary Stu for two years, then into a unicorn while being chased by mares and stallions, then later on being attacked by timberwolves and then having my mind broken into and then merged with another. What I have seen is the recurring theme where the protagonist just usually forgives and forgets whatever happens to him. One begins to wonder what their limit of tolerance is! Well, I've never seen a MC forgive ponies after having his balls crushed by a sledgehammer, so there's that! Although, I haven't see that happening in the first place.....
Eh, despite all that, this story has gotten my interest, so I'm looking forward to see what happens next.
2823462
Exactly, one wonders for what kind of tolerance is that and against what and for how long? Besides, sane.. is such a broad term...
Also, i dont get people who just get and try to fit almost everything into logic.. well, actually i do, but im using that to emphazise my dislike and point.
Also, its frikkin Eqiestria, magical land of sapient ponies, mabye 'TEH MAKICZ' are affecting his feelings or hes come to accept the "love and tolerate" themw of the land and besides, what positive outcome would the chewing out give?
2827095
If the attack is already done, then you cant undo it.
What positive and efficient outcome would come of whipsmacking Twilight?
If you would 'accidentally' kick me in the balls, i would not kick back, that being said i wouldnt be very happy about it either, but kicking you back would only worsen the situation.
If you or someone else would actually read my mind and pull out all the information i have in here.. there.. what can i do then? You would know everything about me, so whatever i do you could counter it, even things that i may come up with on the fly(that is assuming that you do know everything about me), that being said if you would actually know what i know, the chances are that you would be as peaceful as me, ofc that depends on a multitude of things...
This being said(again), this is all based on predictions on my current behavioral.. err.. behavior and the way i percieve the world at this point in time.
2817716 I think it's more because Emeris is a reactive character, he doesn't initiate anything, he just responds to thing happening. If no one else acts, then neither does he.
His only goal was, "be normal," now he is and he doesn't have anything to work towards, so he'll just plod along, one hoof in front of the other, until something interrupts him and forces him to act.
That's my take on it, in any case. I'm sure that, regardless of the actual way this is going to play out, it's going to be entertaining.
2820837 Well, Jesus was crucified...
He went from an overt Garry Stu, to a more subtle one.
