Featured Sci-Fi Story: "Equus Metamorphosis" ( http://bit.ly/1YnanMR )

Intimacy and affection. Pinkie Pie knows that right now, that’s what you need the most. She saw you walk into the room one day, say nothing and sit down next to her. She’s known you for a while, and today she’s going to do what she does best. She’s going to make you happy.

But Pinkie also experiences pain too, and she will reveal that as well. Together, you’re going to heal each other’s hearts. And by the end of tonight, before sleep takes you to Luna’s palace of dreams, Pinkie will show you what it means to be loved.

Rated T for Moments of Intimacy. If you've ever wanted to read a sweet pony story where you read from the intimate, but safe non-sexual, role, then look no further.

Melanie is a young woman alone on a starship sailing through the vast reaches of space. To combat her loneliness, the ship has been equipped with a digital overlay and force-feedback system so she can create an endless amount of worlds (in a finite space) populated by the pony characters she holds so dear.

One such digital being, Starlight Glimmer, has a 10-year anniversary coming up. Melanie and her friends are planning a party for her. Along the way, Melanie shifts through the digital worlds she has created and meets friends which only her force-feedback suit allows her to see.

The island of Equestria has appeared in the Pacific Ocean. After talks between both governments, humans and ponies have agreed to allow a cultural exchange between the two.

On the maiden flight from Hawaii to Equestria on Equestrian Airways Flight 9, people get the chance to talk to ponies in-person, but there is one woman who fears them. It becomes the mission of two caring passengers to find out why this woman booked a flight to Equestria when she's so afraid of ponies. And why is she so interested in Applejack and Rainbow Dash?

A mysterious plague has spread across the face of Equestria. Called "Star Sickness," it spread from meteorite impacts, causing those infected to waste away and turn to dust. Equinaut Applejack was part of a 3-pony crew meant to undertake a one-way mission to the source of the asteroids, originating in Pluto or its moon Charon. At the last minute, the other two Equinauts were infected with the sickness themselves, leaving AJ to complete the mission alone.

Can she overcome her isolation and complete the mission for the good of Equestria? She has the rest of her life to think about it...

It’s one thing to believe you’re the whole world and quite another to realize that’s actually true. Aurora Ray has just been told, by the residents living in his head, that he is their entire universe and it’s up to him to keep them safe. His everyday actions affect the Equestrian world in subtle ways, so Twilight Sparkle, her friends, every resident of Ponyville and beyond have banded together to influence Aurora’s life so he, in-turn, can help them.

It wouldn’t be quite as stressful if the ponies would simply stop taking over his body during key moments in his life…

Armin suffers from a rare degenerative bone condition which will result in the end of his life if he doesn't take drastic measures soon. Thankfully, advancements in robotics and medical technology have provided him with a new option: The Meta-Frame. This technologically advanced exosuit will repair his body and stabilize his condition, but he will never be allowed to take it off ever again.

With the help of his robotic friend Pinkie Pie, Armin decides on the new exosuit identity he will wear for the rest of his life, wondering if perhaps he should join his pony pal with a body similar to hers...

Along the way, they'll meet other robotic partners based on famous retro television shows like Doctor Who, explore what it means to be human, and learn how to survive an identity crisis which will either be a rebirth of self or a repression of who Armin really is. Then again, perhaps things are not as clear-cut as they would seem...

Edit (Jun 23, 2016): Thanks to some plot developments starting in Chapter 5, including slightly more mature discussion, this story rating has been raised from "E" to "T" and the new tag "Romance" has been added, because it's gonna happennnn. Nurse Redheart has also been added as a major character tag. :P
