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.

After a mishap involving the Transportalponder, the Courier finds himself in a place he doesn't recognize. With no way back and nothing else to do, he decides that wandering into the nearest town is the best option. Being the Courier, things aren't that simple...

A Fallout: New Vegas/My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic crossover

The style alternates between omnipresent third-person and the Courier recounting his tale to... Well, take a guess.

Elias Bright is a survivor. He has survived the end of the world. He has survived the deaths of his family. He has survived the death of all that he has built. On the run from a past that haunts him to his core, he finds himself in Equestria, a land of tranquility and peace. Elias now has a choice. Does he give up the only life he has known, that of a survivor, and settle with the ponies of Equestria, or will his past deeds come to drag him back into the dark past he has tried to bury?

Jack was a 21-year-old history major at Coastal Carolina University. Well above average academically, his social skills left a lot to be desired. On his way home from the airport after a study abroad in Italy, he drives through a strange light and ends up in Equestria along with around a quarter of the state of South Carolina. With the landscape around him having changed to technicolor and the rest of the humans having vanished into thin air nothing bothers our mildly autistic protagonist more than the fact his body has regressed to that of a 7-year-old. Trapped in a world of magic talking ponies he must adjust to pony society. Will he be able to get over his tragic past? How did he get here? Is there a way home and if so does he really want to leave?
Special thanks to the best friend an autistic guy could ask for. Rest in peace buddy, you were a better friend than I ever deserved.
