Ponies and humans have been happily writing letters back and forth for as long as anyone can remember - it's great fun! Neither can visit the other though, sadly. Just the rules, sorry!

Well, at least until Puddlejumper - cleverclogs that she is - figures out a way of visiting her human penpal Ben for fun, japes and general good-timesitude.

Only not. Because it does not work out like that.

Sunset, having lost track of precisely when her birthday is (on account of dimension hopping) receives belated surprises, first from the girls, second from some random guy she just happens to know for some reason.

The second one is perhaps unusual.

This story is a sequel to Home

While the main body of expedition has carried onwards (or downwards) into newer, deeper worlds, co-operation between the locals of this level and humanity continue.

A two-person team (and their assigned governing intelligence) work with the locals on a project in Canterlot. One of the humans absolutely loves getting to work with magical horses in a delightful, wonderful world. The other is a huge wet blanket.

The story is about the wet blanket.

Barry, local human, is even more local now having finally finished moving in with Twilight.

He also brought his books, much to her delight, even if some of them leave much to be desired.

She rectifies this.

Straight To The Point Studios gets straight to the point.

Given that it's a period of unusual quiet it's decided that a nice lunch is in order.

This was the plan. Then the group sees Julian, local human doing something strange.

Twilight is baffled.

Straight To The Point Studios did this one, too! For some reason.

A man, sitting alone, isn't feeling his best, really.

He has also forgotten to clean the fluff out from beneath his sofa.

This has consequences for him.

Straight To The Points Studios again to the rescue with a reading.

Visiting her unremarkable human pen pal Henry, Celestia had a pleasant night out.

The morning after is less pleasant. Often these things have an inverse relationship.

A lazy day for Celestia and the human she is for some inexplicable reason shacking up with.

What does that mean?

Means staying in bed! Means cuddling! Snuggling! And -

Oh dear.

Somehow, this also got a reading from Straight To The Point Studios. Not sure how that happened.

This story is a sequel to Bun thing leads to another

Continued horse-based intrusion makes a man's evenings slightly more interesting and his kitchen messy.

Mostly it seems to be the fault of that one horse, but the others are still going along with it, so they're all to blame really. Not that it's easy to hold anything against them.

He is a softy, after all, and they are all rather pleasant company.

-
Straight To The Point Studios did this one, too. I like this one in particular.

Most work undertaken by princesses is fairly tedious, and a good chunk of it is paperwork and letters.

Celestia is interrupted while dealing with some of this.
