How does someone learn to be a baby again? To walk again, to play again? And how does a princess learn to be a mother-and to be imperfect?

Alex, a 21-year-old engineering student, is suddenly pulled from his world into the land of Equestria. But now, he finds himself in the body of an almost-newborn, forced to relearn everything-while his adult mind struggles to make sense of a world that doesn't follow the same rules of physics as Earth. It's not easy when your body insists on acting like an infant.

Princess Celestia, a ruler who has quietly longed to hear the word "Mom," offers to help him find a way home-if such a thing is even possible. Until then, she'll take care of him.

Determined not to burden her further, Alex plays the part of a normal foal, hiding his lingering awareness. Can he maintain the charade, or will his struggle reveal the truth? And as Celestia tends to him, will she discover that motherhood isn't about perfection?

I wrote this fanfic based on a simple question: Why are there so many stories that approach age change with something like, "Oh, I'm a kid again... good to know" and skipping almost the entire childhood and learning process?

If you're interested, follow me on a journey of learning equine biology until midnight, making sense of the magic system, reading articles about motherhood, and improving my grammar skills (English is not my native language-Spanish is-so there might be some odd phrasing. If you find any, please let me know).

(NO MORE ACCURATE TO WHAT I BELIEVE) Starlight Glimmer's + Sunburst's Child by Faunamusic

The first book to my "My Little Pony: The Future" fanfiction series. It is years later after season 7 of MLP, and ponies have love, jobs, and children. Starlight Glimmer, now married to Sunburst, and a mom, with a child that shows a great example to the expression, "The apple doesn't fall far from the tree". Her daughter, Scroll Star, is quite magical, and had many friends, until something happened that changed it all. What other drama can happen for being a lot like Starlight Glimmer, one of Equestria's most powerful ponies, who made a whole village of ponies get rid of their curie marks, stalk Princess Twilight, who became Starlight's mentor, AND went back in time to make sure Twilight Sparkle's friendship doesn't happen, due to a problem in her old friendship, involving Sunburst? NOTE: Fluttershy's family's story is based on DisneyFanatic2364's fan-fics. DO NOT OWN THAT! POST-NOTE: This story was first published in June, 2017. Any changes that were made to a character in episodes after "The Perfect Pear" will not be changed in the story. For example, if Starlight DOES become a princess, which would be very interesting, it would not be in this story. I apologize for that, but remember, this IS a fan-fiction, not an MLP episode. Also 9th in Equestria :3

More Than Just A Bet • Appledash by Shinydiamonds07

Applejack's spent most of her life homeschooled and working on the farm-until now. Starting fresh at Canterlot High, she finds herself welcomed into a new friend group... but things get a little more complicated when Rainbow Dash comes into the picture. Cocky, confident, and impossible to ignore, Dash immediately butts heads with the new girl. Their rivalry catches fire quick-but so does something neither of them expected. The closer they get, the more everyone around them starts to notice the tension growing into something more. But just when it seems like everything's finally falling into place, ghosts from Dash's past show up ready to ruin it all. Caught in the middle, Applejack is forced into a cruel bet: win Dash's heart... and then break it. She never meant to go with it. She never meant to hurt her. Now, with secrets hanging over them, the line between truth and lies is blurring-and so are their hearts.

The Sun Rises by limelighthaven

(This Story takes place after Twilight's Revenge) (Celestia and Luna have decided to stay in Equestria for a little while longer). Everyone has an eye for fan fiction, so dive into this new spin off of the my little pony theories and shows. *There may be spoilers if you have not seen the shows. Everyone in the fandom seems to want the answers to Princess Celestia's and Princess Luna's origins, this story delves into the past of where they originated from, there parents and the history of Equestria, in the time of Starswirl the Bearded, this is the first book that will unlock untold secrets of the past. This first book is Galaxia's story, the mother of Celestia and Luna. As the new kingdom has just recovered from the devastating war against the ruthless dragon king, the ponies once again divide among their race; unicorns, earth ponies, and pegasi, but the unicorns have taken the Canterlot under their rule, as unicorns were deemed superior to all other living creatures. Queen Iris, and King Astraeus have just given birth to two beautiful unicorns, Galaxia and Chrystalline. Though Chrystalline was born with a devastating mutation, a curse it seemed, of a crooked horn. Queen Iris took Galaxia immediately under her responsibilities, and left Chrystalline to their father, she was ignored, neglected and scorned by her mother. This story highlights tragedy, and the spectacular story of Chrystalline finding her destiny, who will become most famous in Equestrian history a legend, until the story was hidden, and made forgotten by a powerful Alicorn who's guilt, would erase her sisters story.....and you'll have to read to know why....

The Optimist of CHS (Equestria Girls x Male Reader) by Speedyfella756

Y/N L/N is simply a fun-loving, optimistic, and comedic student who just moved into a city called Canterlot and transferred schools from Manehatten with his parents. You thought it was gonna be a normal yet fun experience, but turns out your time in this school is going to be more of a magical experience than you thought, quite literally. What's more, you came in contact with a strange blue diamond shaped jewel which, to you unknowingly at first, holds incredible power that makes your adventure even more unpredictable than it already is. Join him as he tries to enjoy a normal school life but gets dragged into many different kinds of situations, both magical and non magical, while meeting new friends and having an experience of a lifetime. (A/N: This is a reader insert x MLP eg story that is heavily inspired by shadowlight2784, TheNintegaGuy, and Jordanwolfboy9743 so please make sure to check out their stories as they make some great high quality stuff! This is the very first story I'm writing so I'm hoping things go sort of well It'll have some crossover elements with Sonic Frontiers and maybe a few games but I don't wanna overwhelm myself yet cause I just got into the whole story writing thing. Just wanted to write this story for fun) P.S. Any image you see in this story is NOT mine :P MLP EG belongs to Hasbro Book cover by @shadowlight2784 it looks awesome!

This story takes place before the events of My Little Pony - The Legend of Friendship. To put it short: The story of My Little Pony - The Legend of Friendship involves around a stallion added to the mane six and several other OC who were added to the original story of Friendship is Magic. It is advised to read through Chapter 1 - 65 before you read this story if you want to read this story in the original order.

Songs of Innocence: Night by Feenfiction

In the human world mirroring Equestria, magic scarcely seeps through. But when it does, it's bad. And college newcomer Innocent Sun gets the worst of it. The tale of the Equestrian Innocent Sun is finished. For now, at least. A brand new tale, featuring her human counterpart, is about to unfold! Nothing will be quite the same as before. Weird happenings twist the mundane, symbols of cryptic gods obsess the innocent, and normalcy slips away to reveal uncanny fortresses designed by the demons of nightmare. Can Innocent Sun survive it all? And even worse... can she survive college? No reading of the first two SoI stories is needed! This is a fresh slate. Expect a mix of light moments and the occasional scene of pseudo-horror (it's my thing, I gotta do it!). I do not own concepts from Hasbro's My Little Pony: Equestria Girls, such as characters like Fluttershy, or general concepts such as Equestrian magic.
