Going up to the roof for some fresh air after pulling and all-nighter, our "hero" makes the mistake of closing his eyes for a bit.
When he opens them again, he is no longer on the rooftop in Copenhagen he was expecting to be on... no he's somewhere very different, and extremely unfamiliar.
How will he react? How will the ponies react? Nothing is certain, except for one thing...

He never asked for this.

This story takes place about 8'ish years after the second season of MLP:FiM, the language of Equestria does not match any earth languages (that the main character knows of at least), and the human in question knows nothing of these ponies or the world of Equestria.
He emerges into Equestria on the roof of a building in Manehattan, not the Everfree, not Ponyville and certainly not one of the princesses' bedrooms in Canterlot Castle.

Oh! Spoilers in the comments and all that jazz, not gonna go into a whole spiel about it.

An archeologist finds himself pulled into a parallel world by Discord's storm of Chaos, and encounters the mysterious creatures that live there. How will a rational human, confronted by creatures out of mythology, and unable to find his way home, adapt to his environment? Only one way to find out.

War is war. There is no in-between. In the midst of chaos and death, sometimes incredible stories surface in the military community. And sometimes, the story becomes the reality.

Corporal Ben Wolfe of the 13th Army Expeditionary Unit shouldn't be alive, but he is. He's alive because of his daughter. He's alive because of Rainbow Dash. He's alive because of the pony in his pocket.

But a plastic toy won't save you forever. A plastic pony can't go back to your family to tell them your fate. Who, then, will be with Wolfe when the end comes?

The pony in his pocket?

Twilight Sparkle wakes up one morning to a harsh dose of unreality. She is stranded, without her friends, on an island which matches no known locale on Equestria. Surrounded and harried on all sides by the alien and the dangerous, she will find her mettle sorely tested, and find perhaps that the best friends you will ever have in your life are the ones you make when your back is to the wall...

Thanks to CedricBale and noobie56xx for tracking down the name of the artist so I could give them credit.

In a world where Friendship Is Magic was never aired, one teen is going to have his life turned upside down when he is sent by God to Equestria, and he's not very happy about it.

Armed only with an extensive knowledge of Sci-fi shows, a vintage 80's car, some shopping and his iPhone, he now has to deal with talking ponies, several episode-like adventures and a lack of computer games.

Follow him as he tries to get home, while learning the magic of friendship along with the ponies. Or something like that.

I'm your normal everyday human. I go to school, hang with friends, listen to music...you know, human stuff. I'm also a brony. I'm not hardcore like most people. I like the show, I listen to some of the music, but I'm not obsessed with it. Unlike most bronies, I don't want to go to Equestria. I live a good life, have a nice, caring family, have friends that would take a bullet for me any day, what could possibly go wrong. Well, with my luck, everything. I somehow get dragged into some screwed up version of Equestria where everything is NOT what it seems. It seems like Equestria is the only utopia in this world. Everywhere else is a living hell. Also, getting your soul put into a steam/metal golem by some crazy unicorn trying to out due another inventor in his town by using black magic isn't that fun. Especially when your having dinner with your family and you just pass out, hardly breathing.

(Tags and characters will be added as the story progresses.)

-This story takes place in Rust and Blackwing's version of Equestria-

Have you ever woken up somewhere you don't recognize? I have, once before. This time was not all that different. Headache? Check. Dry mouth? Check. Upset stomach? Check. Hooves? Uhm, that one is new.

Hi, I'm Bruce and I'm 32. Currently, I'm in a light blue Earth Pony foal's body no one has ever seen before. The rest of Equestria thinks I'm 9 and something really traumatic happened to me. It doesn't help I swear like a sailor and I could really go for a smoke right about now. I just hope that the Everfree Forest, rampaging monstrosities, evil dark abominations against God and the Cutie Mark Crusaders don't kill me before I have just one last drag.

Oh, and ponies are hella creepy when you really think about it. Geez.

A little comedy side project. EDIT: HAHA Main project. More characters to be added if I get that far. Categories might be refined as I write. Entire thing is unplanned except vaguely. Don't Expect excessive cursing to be written out, just hinted at. Oh, and as the character is a 30-ish year old in the body of a 9 year old, sexual jokes might exists but sex itself will not occur.

Special thanks to user Momomojito for the awesome-tastic picture! First fanart, I'm so HAPPY. I've gotten more since then! I should collect it all here. Collected!

Allen, an average human living a not so eventful life, is sent to Equestria by Starswirl the Bearded. After being transformed into a pony by the princesses, he becomes Starswirl's apprentice. This is the story of their endeavors.

*Story will soon undergo a revision of all chapters.*

After a large scale attack on the Bureaus by the HLF, Princess Celestia claims the Earth and decrees that ponification is no longer a choice, but mandatory. World governments have become weak and countries no longer have the military strength to stop the forced ponification. The new methods have forced most of the remaining humans to go into hiding. With their population dropping everyday, its only a matter of time until there are none left.
**language**

Ericka is a human from another planet on a voyage to a planet that the human race has been observing from a far but has had no way to properly interact with it's inhabitants until recent advances in technology made it possible. A device which can beam a human being consciousness into an artificially created creature.

Ericka has been chosen among a few other people to use these "artificial bodies" to interact and understand the creatures that live on this planet.

Little does Ericka know she's in for one hell of a culture shock as she witnesses magic before her eyes by these creatures with horns, creatures who look like the others except they have wings instead of a horn, and two creatures who have wings and a horn who seem to govern this world. And the mysterious reason behind the images that appear on their sides at a certain point in their lives which somehow define what they will do with the rest of their lives.

Now Ericka walks among these creatures who are unaware of what she really is, she will learn how this world works, she will learn why they do what they do, she will learn to be...

A PONY
