Set in the Optimalverse, a middle-aged woman enamored of 'Equestria Online' confronts what permanent emigration to Equestria - uploading to a virtual existence - really means... but can she even hope to truly understand such a thing - and more importantly, can she trust the artificial intelligence known as 'Celestia'?

♥ As Horrified Eliezer Yudkowsky!

Nurse Redheart feels herself overcome by emotion as she writes a letter about one of her adolescent patients, a Ponyville stallion with Hooftington roots named Sunbury Sparkle who just so happens to be Twilight’s cousin. She’s had to do this countless times before, but every patient has their own, compelling story. Some mean more to her than most.

It probably goes without saying that this is mostly autobiographical, with things such as the timing of events and such jumbled about. It’s also a loose sort of spiritual sequel to my very first fanfic, Rarity’s Raspberries. I’d like to thank all of my fimfiction friends for their care and support. I’m also indebted to the work Against Depression by Dr. Peter Kramer. Thanks very much for reading.

P.S. Why the hay does Nurse Redheart have no character selection icon?

When two events collide through the fabric of space and time, Coop, a hotshot gamer whose skills with a controller are only match by his hunger, along with his giant robot car named Megas, wind up in a land of colorful talking ponies.

To make matters worse, he's been turned into one of them.
He'll have to learn how to handle the wheel with hooves quickly. Because even in Equestria there's plenty of trouble he can get into. Will this snack munching, video gaming, giant robot piloting force of destruction be able to cope?

With Twilight Sparkle, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy charged with watching over him, let's hope Celestia made the right choice.

Who knows? Maybe things'll turn out fine. After all, mares dig giant robots...right?

After Scootaloo was able to get some frustration off her chest, Cheerilee thinks there is something more going on. While trying to offer advice about Scootaloo's current problem, she finds that Scootaloo's life isn't as happy as she probably thought.

"Is anypony out there? Please, my name is Trixie! I need help! I think... I saw a cockatrice. I can't move, I can't see. Please, somepony, anypony.... Help me."

Laid low by circumstances beyond control, trapped in a cruel and unrelenting prison of flesh made stone, can anypony hold out hope to see the day once more? When their life rests in the hooves of one whom they tried to humiliate and belittle, can they trust in them and make it right? When they can only see through the eyes of another pony, when only one other can hear them, can they stay sane? When the only chance for their freedom is a fool's hope made incarnate, the impossible made improbable, can they beat the odds? Trixie is going to find out.

Pride can lay one low. Stubbornness can leave somepony friendless. Anger and Sorrow can turn others away. And yet, they can give strength. And Hope, in the darkest hours.

If you're afraid of Dark tones, or find them distasteful, or can get stabbed easily in the feels, I suggest reading on only with caution. This is not a happy tale.

"YOU ARE NOT THE REAL PINKIE PIE!"
"You probably shouldn't even exist."
"You're only a clone, you don't HAVE any feelings!"

Who was she to believe? She was barely a day old, and already she'd seen the disappearance of her mirror images, all but her. Was she just a clone? A disposable unfeeling analog?
What would happen if she became her own pony? If she became real?

Is it possible for one of the Pinkie's, the only copy left behind, to develop? To become an entirely different pony to the one that she was modelled after?

Oh, and before I forget, thanks to the amazing WerewolfNobody for the (At one point) cover art!

When Fluttershy finds a human in her backyard trying to eat one of her chickens, she and a majority of the residents of Ponyville only want this dangerous creature as far away from their town as possible.

After a less than stellar first impression, Derpy Hooves and the human struggle to quell the rumors surrounding his diet, and convince the townsfolk that he's harmless.

Will the human be able to make himself meek enough to coexist? Or will he be driven out of town with torches and pitchforks?

Each chapter is told from the perspective of a different pony.

Kuno, a young changeling, is left weak, bloodied, and bruised after the events of the Canterlot wedding. She is soon discovered by Warden, a Royal Guard. But for some reason, Warden shows her mercy. Instead of taking her into the custody of the Royal Guard, he becomes both her captor and her savior. But over time, Kuno will come to ask herself the hardest question she has ever pondered: Can a changeling feel love?

SAPIENT HORSES EMERGING ACROSS THE NATION
That is the common headline that most news stations and papers have these days. It started off small, with only two, then it grew with each passing day with no signs of slowing down. It was like a fanfiction come to life, something that seemed too surreal to be true, but yet was happening right before our eyes.

... Well, most people's eyes, because I was always cooped up in my room playing games. I tended to keep out of current events, usually paying no mind to them while I played stuff like Dark Souls. I would just wait it out until this blew over, as I was sure that everything would be back to normal.

I couldn't have been more wrong about that, as one morning, after having a Skyrim binge, I had the shock of my life when I discovered I was now inhabiting the body of Equestria's Queen of Electronica, Vinyl Scratch. Now, driven by nothing but sheer curiosity, I, Gage LeBoeuf, who was once a normal gamer from Louisiana, must now travel to New York to find answers and possibly a cure to my strange condition.

I mean, it's just a simple road trip; what could possibly go wrong? Turns out, almost everything.

It's not easy having to live with the face of another. Especially when it's the face of a quadruped who has successfully made enemies of virtually every species in the universe.
