Life is like a clockwork. A cog may run for years, decades, without any need to be replaced. But, in the end, it will be worn out, and a replacement will be needed.
My name is Clockwork.
If you told me a week ago that I would get back to the life I had lived five years ago, I would laugh in your face. I had left that life behind me for honest work, and it was nothing I ever wanted to relive. Not after how it ended.
Funny how things change.
As late as this morning, I was the apprentice to the greatest clockmaker in Equestrian history. Pendulum, the designer of Canterlot’s Clock Tower.
Now, my life is upside down, and the only thing I know for certain is to keep the envelope close.

A huge, HUGE thanks to MelonHunter for all his help with my grammar and story. You've no idea how helpful you've been!
Yet another thanks to Nicknack, for his input about the first few chapters. He really pushed me along even more, and I really wish I'd have time to have him comment and change the story after his expertise.
A special thanks to TranquilMaelstrom for his wonderful english skills!

I'll try to get around to writing a review of this once I have the time. To the dark pits of Read Later for now, I will probably be back.
I shall favorite this and I see a lot of potential in this fic.
8/10, Would bang.
One of my personal favorite stories on this site~
>Bring an end to this dark chapter.”
>said right at the end of the chapter
I see what you may have done there.
Buck.
Wow just wow this was a really good fic. I need to find mor similar to this one.
Fantastic! This story is great! How is it possible for this to be so unknown? I will be recommending this to everyone. I do wonder though, why bother making this a pony fic? Almost every aspect was AU down to what they wear. If you changed a bit of wording and two-ish pieces of lore it would be a stand alone story. In anycase, it's a great work and I'm gald I found it!

Thank you for your kind words.
I guess that the biggest reason I made this a 'pony' fic is that it's a lot easier to write something for an 'existing' world, than to create your own from scratch. In this way, I didn't have to explain the royalty or characters already put into the universe.
Furthermore, at the time of writing this, I was still interested in the community and, to an extent, it's easier to get it read through it. Or, well, so I thought.
Thank you for taking the time to read and comment!
5640633 I suppose I can see that. I would likely do that as well, if not for those reasons then for the exposure it would get from the fandom. I would never have found this if not for that. Thanks for writing this!
