A Simply (Not So) Simple Life

by Neon Icy Wings
A simple Brony finds themself throw into Equestria before Twilight goes to Ponyville, and must face magic, fate, anxiety and socialization. How will they handle changing themself, and potentially Equestria at large? Or finding changes already there?

Life is odd, really. You never know exactly what will happen, or if something is good or bad. Or if it will stay good or bad in the long run. Such thoughts only ever brought me anxiety. Such thoughts are all I really have anymore.

I was just a normal brony, enjoyed the show, the fanart, the music, and sure, I had my daydreams of going to Equestria. But, waking up in the Everfree forest as a pegasus of the wrong gender, without a memory of how I got there, before Twilight ever left Canterlot, really puts things in perspective.

Surviving the forest, Nightmare Moon, Discord, the Changelings, all of that will be easy, it's the lack of internet and inevitable socializing that has my skin crawling. Well, that and me potentially ruining the timeline with my sheer existence, that isn't fun either. That is, if the timeline doesn't ruin me first, or was already ruined to begin with!

Somewhat self insert, and unwilling, but not too bothered genderbend, since some people can't stomach that, fair enough.
Warnings will be added and described as needed.
Story is slice of life with potentially heavy adventure elements at times.

This is just a, hopefully, low stress story to do on the side and have fun with, while my more in depth and complicated stories are forged. As such, things can go in many directions if it brings wondrous fun, adventure or drama I can have fun writing.
