What do you mean, "friend?"

by MyNameAintGreg
A human stumbles into a beautiful world filled with ponies who actually want to be his friend. But even with a chance at romance, his own darkness fights a kindness he can barely understand. Why do they care? And what is this world doing to him?

Having fallen into Equestria due to his own stupidity, Brendon finds himself more surprised at the friendly welcome of the inhabitants, than the strange world they inhabit. But, having been alone for so long, Brendon finds it very difficult to stop the darkness of his own mind. Meanwhile, how does he deal with a friendship he barely comprehends? Will he truly accept love as his own mind unravels? And what is the very environment doing to his body?
