THIS STORY IS BEING REWRITTEN. THEREFORE IT IS NOT COMPLETE.

My name is Seth Rogers. I'm a simple college student trying to get a degree so I can land a good job. However all of that goes out the metaphorical door when I encounter a strange man adorned in half-plate armor. Before I know it, I'm in an unknown land filled with ridiculous looking ponies colored every shade of the rainbow. Or all of them, in one case.
...
I want them to stay as far away from me as physically possible.

This is a Human in Equestria story with shounen elements. The twist is this: the main character, a bitter and troubled young man who doesn't believe in kindness or friendship, experiences the very same lessons that we have in the process of watching this incredible show. Can the ponies we all know and love help Seth become a better person?

Another thing that I must point out is that the show does not exist in the human world. Stay tuned, as character development is the goal of the whole story.

A night of tequila and bad choices lead to a man being ponyfied. He thinks it's only a dream, but is quickly labeled Ponyville's resident lunatic.

Also giant robots, for some reason.

This is a companion to my story, A Dream.
These chapters are the random stories that don't match any episode of the show.

Being a human roommate to a pony leads to all sorts of cultural misunderstandings . . but one fundamental proverb remains true.

This story is a sequel to Wanderings of a Non-Brony

After the six year journey around the planet in Wanderings of a Non-Brony, The human TD Harrison Powell finds himself in Equestria for good. He sees no choice but to settle down in Ponyville, ready to live the rest of his life as best as he can.

This is his life.

After an irritating encounter with Penny, Sheldon retires to his home-away-from-home, his Batcave, his Fortress of Solitude: his office. But the physicist gets more than he bargained for when a strange interdimensional worm hole appears in the Biology department.

Trapped in an unfamiliar, scientifically impossible world. Sheldon has the perfect opportunity to flex his astonishing social skills, or lack thereof. Completely oblivious that the fate of Equestria rests in his hands, Sheldon embarks on a journey of self discovery and love and tolerance... except he doesn't discover anything, and love and tolerance is a waste of time.

Well, maybe he'll learn the value of friendship along the way. But that isn't likely

Task Force 141 was at first an international special operations group held in high esteem by those who knew of it. Then they went AWOL, turning to many into a nightmare given life; top rank Spec Ops soldiers who betrayed their countries and went rogue. Yet when the ashes settled and WW3 had ended the fingerprints of Task Force 141 were all over the events that had brought about its swift conclusion. The public didn't know any of it and the experts and analysts didn't know what to make of it. And Task Force 141? They vanished into the shadows again, many uneasily giving up on finding them them with the reasoning that these elites among elites wouldn't be found if they didn't want to be.

One wonders what all the high generals and seasoned intelligence officers would do if they had known precisely WHY they never were found again.

Maybe had an aneurysm.

Or laughed.

Probably both.

Everyone knows the age before Celestia and Luna. Discord reigned, but what about before Discord? Does anyone know what happened before Discord reigned? Sure, there are a bunch of theories and assumptions, but no one truly knows. I'd be willing to bet that the royal sisters had something to do with it too...

Way back in the day, four types of ponies stood in an unspoken hierarchy. The alicorns, the unicorns, the pegasi, and the earth ponies. The hierarchy existed, but so did the roles of each. Everypony was happy, until their leader was cast off by ancient magic and without the leader, the clans fell apart into chaos. Event after event leads up to the current situation today, where mostly everypony is happy once again... Until HE returns.

"One Hundred-thousand will the moons go around, before the red moon rises, ready to sound. Once the chains break and the spell is broken, the time will come when the power is woken."

A young man lost in the hilly embrace of a mountain sleeps the night away under a knot of tree roots. When he wakes he will find himself thrust into a strange new environment, the Everfree Forest. With only his pack and his experience as a Boy Scout to aid him, he must survive, make sense of his surroundings and with some luck, ultimately find his way home. What does one do after wandering beyond the edge of the map? And better yet...

What if you are not alone?

I have been reading fan fiction here for a while and wanted to give something back.
My first fiction ever so constructive criticism is welcome. Fair warning, it takes a while for me to write a chapter so expect gaps between updates.

[Hiatus notice: As of 10/1/2022 this fiction is on hiatus so I may focus on other projects and items, will resume at a later date.]

Rated teen for strong language

Awesome cover art by Carnelian. Seriously, the guy has major skills with how fast he drew this up.

and of course ALL CHARACTERS / REFERENCES BELONG TO THEIR RESPECTIVE OWNERS. “MY LITTLE PONY FRIENDSHIP IS MAGIC” IS OWNED BY HASBRO

NO PROFIT WAS MADE IN THE CREATION / DISTRIBUTION PLEASE DONT SUE ME OR ANY PARTY THAT DISTRIBUTES THIS WORK (unless they try to sell it, then by all means go nuts)

When a human is thrust into Equestria on a whim, he struggles to fit in with the locals of this strange land and tries to figure out how to get home, making new friends along the way.
