You're a down-on-your-luck assistant stunt coordinator on Earth. She's a struggling traveling showmare in Equestria. In this post-Discovery world where travel between the two universes is commonplace and their various species commingle freely, a chance meeting on a quiet lakeside path introduces you to the "Great and Powerful" Trixie, a haughty unicorn with a long history of overcoming the odds and surviving life's trials. With her latest efforts in reinventing her show failing, she turns to you for help, in hopes that your expertise and different perspective can help give her performance a fresh start, and her a new shot at success. You and she will both find, though, that working so closely changes things for the both of you.

Yes, it's a second-person "Human x Pony" romance fic. Yes, there will be sexual situations later on. However, you'll have to read through one of those "story" things to get there. Consider this to be a "ligher and gentler" story- not much conflict, but a lot of character and relationship development. I've chosen not to spend too much time detailing the specifics of the world, instead revealing them through the characters' interactions.

Also, I've broken a primary rule about second-person fics and named the audience stand-in character. It's just far too kludgy to avoid others referring to him by name. I've done my best to give him a fairly broadly-applicable- yet still distinctive- name so that it isn't too jarring to the reader.
