Fox squirrels are frisky little creatures. Ferocious too, as Fluttershy will come to find out. However, like many of Equestria's own little critters, they react best to kindness.
Kindness is what Fluttershy needs the most now, too. Dark machinations are at work, and she's become trapped in a foreign land where there are very few things familiar to her. Lost and frightened, she will travel these worlds, fraught with perils and dangers that seem to be never ending; hoping to one day find a way home.

So, a quick author's note. This story is entirely from Fluttershy's perspective. It also runs parallel (as in it happens at the same time as) to the other stories in "The Madverse". Those stories are, A Twilight Landing, My Little Marriage, Abhorsen, as well as The Mane Two : Contrail, started by Alex Nuage, and currently being written by Ludicrous Lycan. I've written this story here with people unfamiliar to the crossover's source material in mind, so approaching this with an open mind is all you need to enjoy the story. I hope you all enjoy traveling with Fluttershy through this strange, strange world, whether you are familiar with its mysteries or not. 
The story crosses over with Studio Ghibli's works, here's their Home Page! www.studioghibli.net
I really can't thank them enough for getting to use this art! Thank you Tyr!
Author's Note
For anypony asking themselves 'why' I chose to crossover for a large piece of these crazy stories, the answer's simple. I had considered that some may not buy into this, but I felt that using established work would add credence and a solid foundation to work from. In other words, that the stories would benefit from a pre-established fantasy setting, rather than one I just made up for the purpose of this series of fics. I can't really say if it was the right decision, but at least you can know that I didn't just throw the rest of the mane six into a sloppily made world rather than one created by professionals. (I honestly doubt I could make something as fascinating as this.) With that said, please enjoy.
Awesome, let's see where this leads.
P.S I bet you are still in your base, drinking.
Just a heads-up; you should probably make it more obvious what you are crossing over with. Like In the description or something.

I do have it in the short description but you're probably right, it needs moooar. I guess Fox Squirrels aren't quite iconic enough. ^_^
A crossover with Studio Ghibli?!
Dear Lord, you are a genius..
2228483
Glad you likeded it though!
222849Yeah, but I would have NEVER come up with this. The only anime related fic that came to mind was an Akira crossover.
A wild Eevee appears!!! XD
2228781
God dammit it isn't an Eevee, xD although fans speculate that eevee was inspired by the Fox Squirrel from Nausicaa.
2228781
Dude, that's a fox-squirrel.
Teto is so cute.
2229105
I know, I was only messing with you. XD
Might check out the story some other time, if I do have time, that is.
Can't wait though, I'll be posting the first chapter for the story that I'm collaborating with TOOS0BER today!
Try and look for it later.
That is, if it is okayed by today...
Darnit some prick gave me a downvote, I was so happy having a perfect story finally too. Guess someone doesn't like anime.
Kazetani no Nausicaa eh?
Not that I begrudge you for making a crossover with one of my favorite films evar, but...
Y U NO MAKE MORE SABRIEL
Also, won't Fluttershy have to face a strong bout of cancer
after she escapes this world of post-nuclear disaster?
2231536
Yikes, there's an update due coming out tonight, relax! MLM was just really popular and has more views and stuff... It's barely been three weeks, that's the REGULAR update schedule for most stories, you know. I've got four of them to update too, (though I'm working on seven at the moment).
They'll all get written, worry not.
2231596
Dear gods, your unfathomable mind knows no bounds!
2231630 More like my schedule has no distractions, har. Actually today was a bad day I barely slept last night, I might post Abhorsen tomorrow instead.
2231700
Melatonin my friend, It works wonders. But dayum does it give intense dreams. Good luck with sleep.
2231939
Haha, thank you. As you know Abhorsen isn't as long chapter wise as say, Olts. So in theory it should be getting updated more. The whole, redployed thing though has messed up my schedule, and boose at least makes me way more tired than it used to. I'll readjust, though. Still, I can't drink it to help me sleep, might sleep in past work. o.O
I cannot wait to get to the juicy parts in Abhorsen! I don't want to rush it either, though. I have a lot of silly planned, even though it's a dark story. I has a rich sense of humor I just can't say no to. ^_^
2232042
We eagerly await for more
Huh? What'd you do to the second chapter?
Hm. Anyway, nice start with a crossover that definitely interests me!
2362122
It neeeever existed. Actually my partner just published it on accident trying to upload the thing from google docs. So it was a blank page, apologies!
2362131
It wasn't a blank page to me (unless I dreamed all the stuff with the fox squirrel leading Fluttershy to the oasis, encountering Nausicaa and her father, and the battle(?) breaking out out of sight...).
...
2363955
Oh, well you got a sneak peak after all of what should go up in a minute here!
It was blank when I deleted it anyway, I can't reign the guy in but that's the folly of letting editors on your account.
myesss..... this pleases us.
Good job Merlos. Especially the flower motif
Huzzah another chapter hath appeared!
Oh mah gawd Ghibli.
2365100
It's half yours certainly, now we just neeed to figure out the blank with the whatsits and the how of the where and the whemmy blam. Then we'll be in the clear...
2365107
It's hard to work up the effort to write for a low limelight story is all. :/
2365126
we can always fill the blanks with cancer or chaos
So much awesome to be had
MOAR!
So, we're in the Nausica-verse with the giant bug creatures and poison fungal jungle.
Too bad Flutters couldn't have ended up in Totoro-verse. Much less chance of tragic death.

Stay tuned, it came off hiatus for a raisin.
2689505 And Flutters falls into the acid lake and dissolves in horrible agony. The end!
(The moral of the story: DON'T FOLLOW FOX SQUIRRELS OR YOU WILL DISSOLVE IN ACID!!)
A lesson we all should take to heart.
2695914
Psch, she'd never reunite with Twilight and Rarity and the others if that happened, don't be silly.
2695996 *stealthily duct tapes a 'grimdark' label over the fic* Now it can happen! MUWAH HA HA HA!!
Hmm, we need a Discord, Chrysalis and/or Sombra icon to designate 'evil'. We don't have any 'evil' pony faces in the choice box that are quite right for it.
This saddens me.
2696313
I googled evil pony face and found this. Will it do the job?

MOAR!
^ what he said.
2696332 That's more of a Bwah ha ha. I'm looking for Muwah ha ha.
Oh pobre Futtershy
It's just Fluttershy being Fluttershy.
If I was playing ping pong, I could use magic, I'd cheat like f
king crazy.
Can't wait to see how they all get home (...if?)
It's about time.
Valley Of the Wind?
MOAR!
She tried to name it after a bread topping? Really?
2723956
I thought it was funny.
Weird, why is fimfic saying that this story has updated even though I've read all chapters?
Not the first time this happened (though not with one of your stories, Merlos).
2760208
I did just add a chapter, but I didn't publish it?
Strange.
2760884
It's really weird. I had another story too, where fimfic told me I had 2 unread chapters, but in fact I had actually read them all and there were no unread chapters to be seen. Very weird. Oh well, clicking "mark all as read" fixed it, so no problem.
As for the story itself, I get the feeling this crosses over with something, but I have no idea what. The link you provided takes me to a page with a whole army of movies to choose from that this could have crossed over with.
2760920
Oh, well not spoil anything but it crosses over with the whole Ghibli verse not just one movie. But the first one was 'Nausicaa'.
Next: Pinkie Pie ends up in "Spirited Away"! She eats all the spirits' food and gets turned into a pig!
Pinkie, "Wheee! Now I get to perform my piggy song for real! First you wiggle your tail! Oink oink oink! Then you wriggle your snout! Oink oink oink!" She bounces about merrily in front of the bewildered spirits.
Yubaba blinks in confusion, "I don't think we'll eat that one. I'd rather not risk catching whatever brain disease it has."
