The future. The singularity has passed, and post-humanity is still here, and thriving. Artificial Intelligences rule the roost, but mankind in all its glorious forms has just begun to take its first steps into a wider, fuller, more dynamic and overall complicated reality.

When a hostage situation and resultant 'net blackout causes havoc at a cafe, a recently decanted ponified citizen is caught in the middle of some very strange goings on, between the real world and that digital paradise they call Equestria.

One Doctor has just had himself removed from his universe in order to save it. The other is traveling alone after a disagreement with his wall-eyed companion. They are in for just a bit of a surprise when their TARDISes collide in transit.

Geronimo.

Rin's gone missing.
Guess this should've been to no surprise, her being an airhead and all, but it's been a while. And Emi's worried. Enlisting the help of Hisao, Emi sets out to find her lost friend... wherever she may be. After all, it's just a small town, so it shouldn't take long at all to find her.

But finding her might prove to be harder than it seems, especially when there's a world with talking ponies involved. And they seem to be missing a friend of their own.

(Yes, this is a Katawa Shoujo fanfic. It starts after the end of Emi's route, during the summer vacation the follows. Have fun, and enjoy!)

After Spike stays up all night fixing the fence, Twilight realises that he's been working too hard lately, so gives him the day off. Spike is at a bit of a loose end with what to do with his free day and Twilight faces the challenge of fending for herself, which is of course, a recipie for disaster.

Humans.

Truth or myth? Ancient lost civilization or just an old pony's tale?

No pony has ever seen one, and most haven't even heard of them. But Lyra knows that these wonderful creatures are more than just old legends, and she's going to find out... and possibly drive her roommate insane in the process.

When your life is as dull a gray as the world that surrounds you, the mundanities can make it all seem meaningless. Sometimes all we need is a little color -- or six -- to reintroduce us to what truly makes life worth living.
