    Story: Human (Update Part 5!) 

    4 Star

    [Adventure][Comedy][Light Grimdark][Sad]

    Author: DannyJ
    Description: A thousand years ago, when the royal sisters were at the height of their power and the Elements of Harmony were still alive, two legendary beings emerged to take their place among them, and though through trial and hardship the ponies eventually defeated these two so called 'Humans' that they had named the First and the Second, to this day nopony knows who they were, where they came from, and what their motivation was.

    Flash forward to the present day. The First is long dead and the Second is now a decoration in Celestia's sculpture garden. The land has been at peace for years, but now things are stirring again. A break in at the royal archives results in the theft of the ancient Reaper's Horn, an entity is released which seeks out the surviving human, a young colt learns of the legends of humanity and becomes enraptured with them, and a brotherhood of thirteen ponies of varying ages and backgrounds all come together with the sole intention of releasing the human of legend from his stone prison. And all throughout, one of the few surviving ponies who was there when this first began is left to ask herself, "Just what were they anyway?"

    1. Five seems like plenty to choose from. But again, it looks like I'll have to start something new if I want to benefit from these updates.

    2. I swear when I originally read "Fixin up Miss Smartypants" I got that same sense from "Much ahoof about nothing" which was the author going "How many shippings can fit in one story?" and taking that as a challenged.

    11. Is Human any good? Article 2 was pretty good, but I'm thinking about trying Human out.

    12. Don't Let the Sun Catch You Crying is awesome! Just finished the latest chapter and once again this fic proved to be the best Luna centric story. I can't recommend it hard enough! And don't be afraid of shipping tag - the focus of this story is an exploration of Luna's loneliness and her building friendship with Twilight and other mane 6. Romantic aspect for now is very subtle and subtexty.
