20-year-old Ryan Burbank is living with his girlfriend in their woodland home when he is struck by a mysterious infection seemingly out of nowhere. To everyone's horror, his sickness spreads quickly throughout his body, shutting him down one piece at a time. The doctors are at a loss of what to do about this new form of bacteria. Ryan and his loved ones choose to keep fighting until either a cure can be discovered...or the pain becomes too much.
At the height of his suffering, he discovers a happy little show while watching television in his hospital room. The bright colors and happy attitudes of the cartoon equines provide him with a much-needed escape from the daily pain of being killed from the inside.
Eventually, the pain becomes too much and he decides it would be better to go out surrounded by his family, in the embrace of those who kept him company throughout his short life. Just as he starts to fade, his eyes wander to the screen of the hospital room television and the cartoon ponies who adorn it. Something strange begins to occur...almost like the screen is pulling him in. Tunnel vision, maybe?
No, that can't be it...why can he hear his name being called by a very familiar voice? And why is she...crying? Who is this crying, familiar voice and why does she seem to know him?

SPOILERS IN THE COMMENTS

Rated "Teen" for language and the "Sex" tag is for all of the sexual humor and suggestive situations. If I decide to up the suggestive stuff in the future, I'll change the tags and rating to fit that change.

Cover by enamis.

Sonata has a tooth ache. Adagio and Aria don't want to deal with it. Sunset Shimmer gets involved. Applejack is there. It's gonna be one of those days.

Inspired by a conversation with Tired Old Man, naturally.

Rated "Teen" and tagged with "Sex" because of Adagio freakin' Dazzle

Everything should be all fun and games in Ponyville, but it's not. Not for you anyway. Not anymore. You've been noticing a lingering shadow following you, a strange ominous shape, and it's driving you to the brink of madness now. It's almost like this strange being wants to remind you of something that you desperately don't want to remember...

Contains Anon, not a comedy.

He's the traveler, the outlaw, the blue-eyed bad man, the restless wanderer who leaves nothing but woe in his wake. He is a man that has laid low entire cities in a single night.

And he has business in Equestria.

After an unexpected spa day with Rarity, Rainbow Dash looks just so cute you just can't stand it. No, really, she's adorable! It's downright hard not to do something about it. You know, like booping her on the nose. Nothing bad could possibly come of doing that, right?

Warning: Contains Anon, contains violence.

Listen to a full narration of the story by Fire Rain HERE!

Spitfire stops you during your walk to see Fluttershy one bright and beautiful morning. Though you can't tell what's going on, you can tell that she's not going to let you go until she gets something...but what? You quickly figure out, without a doubt, that nothing good can possibly come of this...

When a filly grows up and becomes a mare, the process and numerous body changes are bound to be difficult. It was certainly true for humans where you came from, and you certainly don't relish your own memories of "coming of age." As Sweetie Belle is going through that change now, you're definitely sympathetic, and happy to offer some words of comfort to her.

You know...if you could get a word in at all...

Why does being kind never work out well for you?

Will those Yaks never learn to behave?

Twilight has no idea how to handle the destructive, angry, and whiney attitudes of the Yak delegates when they come to town. She's tried being nice, she's tried giving everything they ask for, but nothing seems to make them happy. As a last resort she turns to her...er...friend Anon for advice.
Lucky for her, he has memories of community building from back when he was in a frat in college. Surely, what works on dumb new pledges will work on yaks, right?

-written drunk, should be read drunk too -

Caffeine is one hell of a drug.

Anon knows it, misses it, needs it. He's been without it so long that his body doesn't even know what to do with it anymore, but that won't stop him from ODing on it given the chance. God have mercy on anyone who gets in his way when the rush takes over.

Or anything.

Mrs. Cake's cheating ways were bound to catch up with her someday, and it seems this day has come. Without her husband there, she's found she cannot do anything right, including cooking. Unfortunately for Anon, he's gotten caught up in this, and now all he can do is try to offer a little comfort and reassurance to the sobbing pony.

Comfort doesn't exactly come naturally to Anon, though. And what she's asking of him is a little hard to stomach.
