I write stories so that I won't be kept awake at night with a brain full of ponies.

There are two very important things to remember when you cross realities:

1) Every living thing that sets foot in Equestria gets magic if it doesn't have it already.
2) There are three pounds of bacteria living on and in the human body.

Everything goes exactly as expected when two alien cultures meet.

Good Awesome fic here.

Now go write more of Twilight's Secret.
(No, I will never stop nagging you about that.)

Edit: It's occurred to me that this image is quite appropriate for that moment when you realize you're trapped in the quarantine zone with a horrifically lethal, ultra-contagious, and absolutely incurable disease.

If I ever get my inspiration back for that one... I wouldn't want it to suck because I forced it. I promise that I'll try some more this weekend, though.

Another good reason to never have the human protagonist develop magic. :trollestia:

I am both proud and somewhat saddened to say that my record of not crying because of anything I have read or seen on a screen still stands. Very well done nonetheless.

This has nothing to do with her magic, It's all about the infectious diseases Humans carry, but are immune to.

This isn't that sad, Those Thai commercials are a lot sadder...

Actually, it's implied that the now magical disease can penitrate magical defenses and act as a super pathogen, sort of like when you cross human flu and avian flu to get something of pandemic causing proportions. Magic and germs don't mix well.

Oh, I missed that part...

Damn that was way more brutal than I thought it would be. Well done sir! :pinkiehappy:

That's actually not a bad idea. More than Likely the ponies don't anti-bacterial medicine that would work on human bacteria. I guess the reaper assigned to the ponies is going to be a busy little bee.

It's not that they don't have a way to treat it (Cadance's magic health bubble proves that healing magic exists), It's that ponies have absolutely no immunity to anything a human carries. Even the common cold to us could be fatal to them.

Look at the sickness that came with the Europeans to the Native Americans when the former started exploring. Look at how the aliens were defeated in War of the Worlds...

Even modern plagues could spread faster than our ability to quarantine them.

I like this idea, I mean if you really think about it we humans have evolved for many centuries without any magic in our enviroment what so ever so it would stand to reason that if the ponies were infected with one of the illnesses us as a species have gained major resistance to then their magics not going to be able to pinpoint or even touch even the most simple sickness due to as we evolve the sicknesses we contracted also evolved with us to try and overcome our medicines and vacines we created... in other words to a creature, no an entire SPECIES that have no resistantce or vacination for something as simple as a stomache bug from our world thats been adapting to the treatments we developed and becoming strong enough to effect us even with treatment at times... will spell the complete extinction of all life on equestria because humans are adaptable but so are to germs and bacterias we live with, whos to say the illness we pass to the ponies isn't gonna mutate based on the new MAGICAL biology its been introduced to? for all we know it could even gain properties based on some of the ponies illnesses or even a sort of magical side effect due to the new organisims and enviorment its breeding in... I fear to know what sort of plauge this can create :rainbowderp:

Intresting, and honestly, i think i only see two fiction with te idea, but yours is the best simple but with the correct direction thanks for sharing

Shit, that really earned it's dark tag :raritydespair:

I know, I know. Still surprised me a bit. :twilightsheepish:
I'm a bit new to you :derpytongue2:

Hell, that was dark(ish).
Not everyday you doom whole species with one cough.

Small typo:

With the exception of the Crystal Empire, which closed off it’s borders,

its borders

Ho.. lee.. sh-t. I forgot about this comment and left a typo for 34 f-ing weeks (since you posted that comment). It's been there since April of last year!

Some kittens died somewhere due that, I'm sure ;P

I've stumbled on some dark fics, but unlike them, I just can't shrug this one off.

Two reasons:

1. It's depressing.

2. There's no guarantee that earth DNA is compatible with Equus DNA. Shuffle what each set of three codons does and any virus that tried to invade an alien cell would only be able to make gibberish. However, that doesn't apply to bacteria so the main reason is the first one.

Because its not as smart of an idea as you think.

2020 is calling. Who wants to bet it was a bat pony they were talking about?

Yes, this is 2020 speaking

4314670
Yeah....

About that.....

2020.....
