The Dimensional Well

You groan. Everything hurts. You blink your eyes open, but you don’t see anything, so your vision must not be working at the moment, either.

Propping yourself up on your elbows, you raise your torso from the ground, then attempt to stand, only to crash back down again after tripping over your own pants, which still remain firmly entangled around your ankles.

Ouch.

But wait a minute… you can see yourself, so your sight isn’t gone at all. It’s just that your surroundings are totally empty. A great white void encompasses everything around you. There’s not even any indication of where the ground you’re standing on is, aside from the fact that your feet will pass no further than a certain fixed point in the nothingness. It’s extremely disorienting, but at least gravity still seems to work.

“Huh. Never thought heaven would be so… empty.”

A whimper rings out in the silence, and you spin around to see a certain yellow pegasus stirring on the featureless ground a little ways away.

Of course. Of course this isn’t heaven. You knew where you were headed from the start, didn’t you?

“A-Anon?!” Fluttershy squeaks, first leaping to her hooves, then pausing to examine the surroundings, or lack thereof. “Where are we?”

“No idea. But…” you pinch yourself and wince at the resulting pain. “…I dunno, call it a hunch, but I don’t think we’re dead. At least not yet.”

Fluttershy trots up beside you. “I think you’re right. It’s so weird… the last thing I remember, I thought I heard Shubby-chan’s voice. And then I woke up here with you. Do you think the others could be here too?”

You gaze out across the endless expanse of nothing before you.

“I doubt it. And even if they were, what’re the odds we’d even be able to find them? As strange as it is, I really think it’s just us here. Hell if I know why… the last thing I remember, the whole world was crumbling down around us.”

Okay, that’s not entirely true. The last thing you really remember was locking lips with butterhorse and distinctly not hating it. Best not to mention that, though. You take a seat on the formless ground, which is thankfully somewhat soft, and sigh.

“So… I guess it’s all gone, huh? Everything. Everyone.”

The little yellow pony curls up beside you, her tears staining the nothingness below you.

“I… I guess so,” she sniffles. “I didn’t mean for any of this to happen. A-All I wanted was to get a hot monkey beef injection, that’s all! Is that so much to ask?”

Surprisingly, you can’t help but laugh at the exasperation in her voice.

“Yeah, and you ended up getting the mother of all two-for-one specials. Not just your world, but mine to boot!” You wipe some tears of mirth from your eyes. “But hey… like my dad always used to say, ‘Everyone deserves a mulligan’. Of course, he only started saying that after he accidentally burned down the children’s ward of that hospital… too bad the judge didn’t see things the same way.”

You reach over and pat her head.

“If it’s any consolation, I think he’d have appreciated being sent, well… maybe not to a better place, but to anywhere other than the state pen. So thanks for that, I guess.”

She looks up at you, a hint of a smile on her face.

“Oh… you’re welcome. I guess… I guess it’s not all bad, is it? I mean, after all, you’re here with me.”

You chuckle again. “Yeah. Y’know, I never figured out why you were so damn obsessed with me. To be honest, I never really cared all that much before, but now that we’re… well, here, I’m curious. Are humans your fetish or something?”

She blushes. “No. At least, I don’t think so. I’d never met a human before I met you.”

“Then why me?”

“Because…” She turns away slightly, attempting to hide behind her mane. “Because I love you, Anon.”

You sigh and shake your head. “Yeah, yeah… I get that. But why do you love me?”

Slowly, she turns back, revealing her cyan eyes and an expression of confused contemplation on her face. Several moments of silence linger before she answers,

“Do… you really need a reason to love somepony?”

Your first instinct is to tell her that of course you do. But thinking back on your life, and of what you’ve learned both on Earth and in Equestria, the true answer becomes clear. You laugh again, massaging your temples with your free hand.

“I suppose you don’t, do you? Love can be really unreasonable sometimes. I guess that’s one of the things that makes it special.”

She gives a little happy nod, then closes her eyes and leans against you. You don’t try to stop it.

“Hey Fluttershy, I’m sorry I lied to you about my libido being gone. Celestia was right… I am partly to blame for all of this. I wanted an easy way out instead of just telling you no like normal. I should’ve known that you’d actually go and do some crazy shit, especially considering how long we’ve known each other.”

She shakes her head. “No, it’s okay, Anon. I… I know I shouldn’t have freed Shubby-chan. Even though she acted nice, I always felt kind of nervous around her for some reason.”

“Fluttershy, it was a gigantic pile of rotting flesh and eyeballs from somewhere beyond space and time that wanted to wipe out all life in the universe. Being nervous around something like that is normal.”

“Really?” she asks innocently.

You simply facepalm in response. This fucking horse…

“Nevermind. Don’t worry about it. What’s done is done; it’s not like we can change it now.”

You flop down on your back, staring up at the non-existent sky. Not long after, you feel a familiar weight on your chest as your yellow admirer climbs on top of you to awkwardly look you in the eyes.

“Um, well… if you’re bored, I can think of some things that we could do. Some fun things. O-Or you could just lay back and take a nap and not worry about anything because I would never, ever do anything to break your trust since we’ve known each other for so long and are such good friends and—”

Yeah, she’s already lightly humping you. But fuck it, it’s not like there’s anything else to do here, so…

“You know what? Fine. My best Bro vouched for you. As long as you promise not to make it weird, I’m game.”

There’s a squee of joy from the little pony that instantly makes you have second thoughts. She stares ahead as if in a trance, drools on your shirt a little, and then starts vibrating.

“A-Anon. Anon, is—”

“Fluttershy. You’re making it weird.”

“Is—”

“Don’t you dare fucking say it!”

“Is being trapped alone with me at the end of time as the l-last two survivors of both our respective universes your fetish?!”

You roll your eyes.

“No.”

“Oh, okay,” she whispers, wiping some of the drool from her chin, then locking you in a stare so intense that it makes your blood freeze. “That’s too bad… because I think it might be mine.”

Oh sweet god almighty, this was definitely a mistake!

But you know as well as anyone that there’s no stopping it now. Just focus on survival, Anon. You can make it through this!

“Come and give Momma some sugar~~~”

Maybe.

A pair of lips descend, and it begins.

You… you don’t know how much time has passed.

That was simultaneously the best and most horrifying sex you’ve had in your life. You lie on the formless ground, totally naked, covered in various fluids, scratches, and bite marks, relishing the afterglow. Fluttershy is curled up against the side of your chest, nuzzling contentedly into your side and occasionally licking leftover sweat from your body.

Wow.

“You know… if we make a lot of foals, it’ll be less lonely here,” she coos between her licking sessions.

“That’s…” you swallow a few times, trying to clear your throat. “Uh, aside from being impossible, that’s totally irresponsible. I hate to ruin the moment, but there’s no telling how long we’re gonna last here without any food and water.”

“Shhh, it’s okay,” she whispers, stealing a kiss. “We don’t need those things here. Love will sustain us…”

Yeah, she’s totally lost it at this point. Although now you have an intimate understanding of why people take the risk to fuck crazy chicks. That was something else.

“OH!”

Fluttershy suddenly jumps up like someone just jabbed a needle into her rump. You watch with confused curiosity as she runs in circles for a few moments, then gathers all your scattered clothes together into some sort of impromptu nest and plops herself down right in the middle of it.

“Uh… what’re you doing?”

“I… I…” she gasps. “Oh! Oh my! I think…”

She starts oddly vibrating again, then begins to hyperventilate. You sit up, preparing to go over and see what’s wrong, when her breathing suddenly calms again and she stands, then stumbles over to your side. Her bizarre behavior is odd enough, but what really gets your jaw dropping is what’s left behind in the pile of clothes.

“YOU LAID AN EGG?! WHAT THE FUCK?!”

She flashes you a radiant smile. “Yes… I did! Look, it’s proof of our love! It’ll be our first foal together!”

“B-B-But Rainbow never said anything about pegasi laying eggs!” you stammer. “How the hell does that even work?!”

Fluttershy tilts her head up in thought. “Well, actually, we don’t normally lay eggs. At least I’ve never heard of it happening before. B-But maybe, when a human daddy and pony mommy love each other very much, and then express that love through a three hour long nonstop buckfest—”

You clamp your hand over her muzzle before she can keep going.

“No. There’s no way I can believe that.”

But as you examine the strange egg closer, there’s no doubt that it came from Fluttershy, as considering what you two were just up to for the last few hours, it’s covered in your combined froth.

You fall to your knees, completely at a loss for words. Fluttershy, for her part, seems ecstatic and circles the egg lovingly.

And then you hear a snapping sound, and a large crack appears on the egg’s surface. Both of you forget to breathe as more cracks appear and small pieces of the shell start to fall away. This continues, with larger and larger pieces flaking off, until what’s inside is revealed to you both.

It’s not a human, or a pony, or any combination thereof. It’s not even a living creature as far as you can tell. But despite that, it’s captivating, and feels oddly familiar on some level you can’t quite articulate. It hovers above the broken shell, a perfect sphere about the size of a tennis ball, but with the texture of a marble that constantly shifts and shimmers with a variety of colors and lights. You reach out to touch it, and can feel a gentle warmth from within, causing that strange nostalgic feeling within you to grow.

“What… what is it?” Fluttershy squeaks.

You sit there in silence for a few moments, again trying yet hesitating to touch the strange object, until the answer suddenly becomes clear.

“I think it’s what’s left of our two universes. Remember what Sun Horse said? About how they’d fold in and compress down into a single point? Call me crazy, but… what else could it be?”

Fluttershy returns to your side, and you both stare at the strange object together.

“I think that’s close, but not quite right,” she says. “Maybe that’s what it was before, but this is something we made together. I don’t think there are two universes, or worlds, or whatever you want to call them in there anymore. It looks more like a seed to me…”

She smiles proudly, and unmistakably, like only a mother can.

“A seed that can grow to become something amazing. All it needs is a little love.”

Taking one of your hands in her hoof, she looks up at you lovingly.

“Anon, I want you to know… that no matter what happens, or where we end up… I’ll always come to find you. Okay?”

And strangely, but maybe not so strangely, you smile back at her.

“Sure. But I’m not gonna make it easy for you. You’ll have to work for it, you little butterball. Just try not to destroy the entirety of the created order next time, alright?”

She giggles. “Okay, I promise.”

And with that, the two of you reach out to touch the shimmering orb together. The moment you make contact with it, nothing becomes everything, and the two of you are consumed by the unrelenting, explosive force of a new universe’s beginning.

You step out of cave. Today good day. Plains grass waves in wind and sun is high in sky.

Perfect time to hunt.

You take spear and Yak-skin tunic. Will hunt alone today. Cave-GF say she want tiger hide for clothes. You think if Cave-GF want a tiger hide, Cave-GF should go get it her damn self, but you too tired to keep arguing about it. She not been around in a few days anyway, so peace and quiet good.

You step into the grass and crouch low. Walk for some time. Then there a rustling to your side and you stop. A sabertooth pony comes out of tall grass, yellow coat like animal piss. It have wings, so flying-type. You stay cautious; Mother warn you about sabertooth ponies. They steal man away, never to return to tribe.

“Hey there, sexy,” pony say. “You come back to pony village with me. Have much food; much thot-shank steak. Eat well, then rut. Make many foals, if that okay with you.”

They have thot steak? Now that you think about it, your Cave-GFs have been getting brutally mauled for last few weeks. Could this pony be cause?

You grip spear tighter. You’re gonna unga bunga the fuck out of this dumb horse when it drop guard.

“No, don’t think so,” you say. “No mate with pony.”

“That too bad,” pony say. “Oh? What that? Is it attractive human woman with freaky large teats on chest?”

“Ooga? Where?”

You suddenly get clubbed on back of head and fall to ground. Another sabertooth pony, blue with mane of many colors, steps into vision carrying wooden stick. Blue pony and yellow pony share hi-hoof.

“We get sexy human!” blue one cheer. “Good job, Fluttershy.”

Well, looks like you fucked, Anon. Will get dragged to pony village, never to return to tribe.

As you start pass out, you see strange vision like tribe shaman sometimes talk about. See things don’t understand. Great, shiny towers. Great birds that carry many men in sky. Men and pony together. Build big villages, build big families. No understand.

But one thing clear. It seem you and descendants, pony and pony descendants will always be together from now on.

It strange world, indeed. But not bad, you think. Will come many suns from now, and not like you have choice anyway.

Because new world be made…

Yellow pony look at you and licks lips.

…by fucking Fluttershy.
