All chapters (apart from chapter 1) are inspired by the author Junji Ito, in what happens to the characters. If you haven read any of Junji ito's work i would highly recommend you do. He is a body horror manga artist, and is very talented in his craft. He is one of my favorite authors as of writing this series

Originally written for the Quills and Sofa's channel, PANIC! Number 74. Prompt was Failed Heist, with 35 minutes to write, 10 minutes to edit/cry, and 110 minimum word count on 2/10/2021. I don't remember if it placed or not, but I'll update this if it did. It probably didn't though.

Thanks to (probably) Decaf, Aurora Dawn, and Scoping Landscape for reading/editing/whatever they did I don't honestly remember anymore.

Cover art is a show edit by ah96. Just... pretend Fern and Autumn's expressions are reversed, and it makes more sense.

Autumn Blaze enters the Iron Pony gymnastics challenge to show everypony just what she's got.

Now with a reading by Rainbow Infinity! Thanks!

While I am a judge, I cannot really compete in the Fimfiction Feghoot Festival, but I had to write something. So I figured, what the hell. If you haven't heard of this competition yet, then click those link thingies and check it out! This story should be an example of what not to do for the competition, and should hopefully make you all hate me just a little bit more.

Savagely edited at an unspeakable hour by the amazing Fregz!

Braeburn's visit to see his relatives in Ponyville doesn't go quite as he expected. After discovering that he doesn't have a Special Somepony, Applejack resolves to fix this problem - by having Braeburn try to date each of her friends, in hopes things will click between one of them and her cousin.

Unfortunately, the road to Tartarus is paved with good intentions, and the poor stallion finds himself being roped into one disaster after another. Bear attacks, wearing a fancy suit, and a near death experience are just a few of the challenges he soon finds himself facing. Will Braeburn succeed in finding a Special Somepony to call his own? Or will Applejack's attempts to help her cousin only make things worse for him? The answer may surprise everypony.

Big McIntosh has a unique way of appreciating music, and Octavia certainly provides an experience. Octavia would love to get in touch with her earth pony roots, and Big McIntosh has the deepest roots around. They could learn so much from each other about why they do what they do, and they just might gain some insight into their own simple gifts in the process.

Being the only human in a world where the inhabitants are anthropomorphic ponies is not easy, especially for Jack. Two months ago, he arrived in Equestria with no idea how he got there. He tried to befriend the inhabitants of the town of Ponyville, but it's not so easy when everypony sees you as a monster and the so-called Princess of Friendship doesn’t trust you either. However, at the local Ponyville Festival, he will give one last try, to prove to everypony he’s not a monster. And he'll do it all, with a guitar and a little help from a mare named Applejack.
