(Update: Complete!)

Chester is on a routine recruitment mission for the Holy Mother when he becomes a witness to attempted murder.  And that quickly becomes the least remarkable part of his day.

Suddenly, in every possible sense, he’s caught between two worlds – between Equestria and the human realm; civilization and wilderness; heroes and villains; and most importantly, between two versions of the most remarkable woman he’s ever met, embroiled in a lethal magically-augmented feud.  

Armed with nothing but the power to see emotions, Chester’s going to need to learn how to navigate them.  And fast.

There is a prequel short story, Fang and Flame, which introduces two of the three main characters — but this was written to be accessible without it. I recommend reading it as well, but this blog post has everything you need to know.
