Yo, don't read this, it sucks.

Note to readers: this is a very premature version of this story, and I am currently in the process of heavy revision. I suggest adding it to your read later/favorites lists and keeping an eye out for the updated version.

"I can't keep hiding... You’ve s-shown me that what life has to offer is invaluable. You showed me joy... and l-love. I can't go back to knowing only fear. I need your help, Glory... Help me to live." - Archaic Smile

Archaic Smile, a pegasus pony residing in the outskirts of Ponyville, knew only fear. Terrified of everypony and how they might judge him, he kept to himself, only visiting the town for necessities. Loneliness was all there ever was and would be for poor Archaic Smile, until a mare from Manehattan arrived in Ponyville. One fateful errand-run to her flower shop was all it took to put Archaic Smile on a new path towards realizing his potential and, most importantly, his desires.
