and >rimjobs

Anon; Anon keeping a pony as a pet.  Or soft vore, full tour, no digestion

>This is it.
>The battle of the century.
>An uncomfortable stillness settles into the space between you and your dreaded rival.
>You can barely bring yourself to spit her name.
“Pinkus.”
>She responds in kind, her beautiful blue eyes narrowed to slits, offset by her wild, untamed cotton candy mane.
>“Non-non, we meet again.”
>Both of you get to your feet, thrusting a limb at the other in dramatic fashion.
“For the last time!”
>“Indeed!”
>Holding your pose for a few seconds, the two of you settle back down into your seats.
>You drum your fingers against the table.
>Pinkie does the same.
>Wait, what?
>Your eyes drift from Pinkie’s face down to her hoof.
>Round and flat, same as it ever was.
>Out of the corner of your eye, you see her lips turn up.
>Frantically, your head jerks back up in an attempt to make eye contact.
>That sparkle…
>No, she’s going for it!
>The world slows as Pinkie’s head begins the descent down towards the table.
>You grit your teeth and lash out with your hand, groping desperately for the prize.
>Too late.
>You’re too late.
>You shut your eyes in an attempt to make the loss somehow more palatable.
>It’s not going to work.
>Still, you reach.
>And then…
>Your fingers close around the last no-bake cookie.
>The slick texture against the rides of your fingers causes your eyes to snap open and a grin to spread across your face.
>You… you did it.
>Holding your prize high over your head, you jump onto the table, letting out a loud roar
“I, beat, PINKUS!”
>She’s as stunned as you are.
>As you do a little jig on the surprisingly sturdy table, she gawks at the prize in your hand.



>Turning to face the pink pony, you grin and break out the butter churn.
>Rocking your hips and upper body in opposite directions, you cackle at Pinkie.
“Ha-ha-ha, I got the cookie, I got the cookie!”
>Time to break out the big guns.
>Lifting your thumb and forefinger on both hands, you ‘shoot’ Pinkie repeatedly.
>Despite her surprise, she’s a good enough sport to jerk her body from one side to the other.
>Still laughing, you settle into your seat and eye your prize.
>It doesn’t look like much, a brown lump with jagged pieces sticking out of it at random intervals.
>But the point is that it’s delicious.
>And yours.
>All yours.
>Pinkie sighs and pushes herself away from the table.
>“All right, I guess that’s all for me, Non-non.  I need to get back to work.”
“What?”
>Giving an apologetic smile, the cotton candy mare shrugs and looks to the kitchen.
>“I’d love to stay and play more, but there are things that need to be done.  Dishes to clean, cookies to bake, so, I’ll see you later!”
>As she trots to the other side of Sugar Cube Corner, you feel a deep sense of regret in your heart.
>You stare down at your prize, somehow knowing that it won’t taste quite as good now.
>Unless…
“Hey, Pinkie!”
>Her hoof is already on the door, but the seemingly perpetually smiling mare glances back at you.
>Waving the cookie in her direction, you make a show of breaking it in half and taking a bite from one of them.
>Then holding the other out to her.
>Pinkie’s smile spreads across the entire length of her face.
>With an infectious energy, she poinks across the room.
>You’re quick to polish off your half of the cookie, just in case she gets any ideas.
>She’s still a few hops away when she leaps into the air.



>“Anon!  Watch!”
>In her usual fashion, she seems to hang for far too long before descending.
>Face first.
>Maw gaping.
>“GUMMY TAUGHT ME THIS!”
>With an excited squeal, Pinkie latches onto your hand, her dexterous tongue yanking the cookie from your grip and swallowing it in a single bite.
>You stand with your arm extended and the party pony of Ponyville hanging from your offered hand.
>The feel of her tongue sliding along your hand is, kind of gross.
>You suppress a shudder and reach out to pat her on the head to make the entire scene seem a little less awkward.
>Pinkie’s eyes widen, but before she can say anything, you scratch her behind her right ear.
>For a moment, everything goes still.
>And then…
>You feel a breeze on your fingers.
>Then your hand.
>Then your upper arm.
“Pinkie, wh-”
>A quick look to the happy mare shows that she’s not quite all there.
>Her body is tumbling and shaking as she hangs in the air, seeming to move up your arm, inch by inch.
>You feel the back of her throat for a moment, before she jumps up a good six inches, your hand disappearing down her gullet.
>And then another six, up to your shoulder now.
>In desperation, you cry out.
“Pinkie! Stop!”
>Nothing.
>The suction picks up again.
>Like a stray spaghetti strand, you’re suddenly sucked screaming down into Pinkie Pie.
>You shudder a little as you feel the muscles of the pink pony’s throat expand and contract, forcing you down, down, down.
>With the involuntary motion rolling over you like an unwelcome massage, you continue your descent, dreading what lies beyond and hoping beyond all reason that Pinkie finds a way to get you out of here.



>After an eternity of waiting, you drop from the throat down into the pony’s stomach, splashing down into some terrible, awful, viscous, flesh-dissolving…
>Smacking your lips a few times, you tread water to keep your head above the fluid.
“…Ginger ale?”
>Sure enough, what you believed to be stomach acid was nothing more than fizzy soda pop.
>You swim to the edge of the soda spring, hefting yourself out.
>The sky is a brilliant pink, much like Pinkie’s coat, spotted with multicolored balloons bouncing in the nonexistent breeze.
>In the distance, you can see lollypop forests, spotted gumdrop hills, and cookie caverns carved into towering toffee-colored mountains, topped with a dusting of powdered sugar.
“So, Pinkie’s just as strange inside as she is outside...”
>As you take a step, there’s a quiet crunch from under your feet.
>The road is made of peppermint bark.
>You suppress a shudder and decide to follow the road, despite the concerns that you know where it leads.
>Well, once you’re in, there’s only two ways out.
>And you’ve never seen Pinkie vomit.
>The peppermint walkway writes wide winding trails across the candy coated grasses, stretching on for an uncomfortable eternity.
>Though your legs never get tired, you feel as though you walk for ages.
>Finally, off in the distance, your eyes train on a change in the landscape.
>An unusual structure made of wood, stretching up towards the sky and then twisting and turning as it descends over the side of a cliff.
>The closer you get, the more you become aware of the sound of rushing water, until finally, your stomach twists as you recognize what the odd object is.
“It’s…”
>A large neon sign flashes in front of you.
>You mumble the words with a sense of dread.



“The Log Flume…”
>Bringing your hand to your mouth, you fight down the urge to retch.
>The massive sign has a picture of anthropomorphic foodstuffs, complete with googley eyes and stick limbs, screaming in delight as they drop from the top of the ride.
>A shudder rolls down your spine as you look at the unfortunate design of the log itself, bile rising up in your throat again.
>You’re forced to turn away as you gasp for air.
“This is disgusting.”
>Still what is there to do?
>Strolling up to the operator booth, you glance around for any sign of life.
>When no one makes themselves apparently, you rap twice on the window.
“Hey!  Excuse me?”
>The only response is the clattering of the ‘log’ as it bounces in place some ten feet away.
>You sneer again at the shitty design of the ride.
>Turning back to the booth, you take a quick look at the control panel and find the start button.
>With a suspicious glance both left and right, you reach into the stall and give it a push.
>There’s an audible hiss and an unladylike grunt of protest off in the distance.
>The bar holding the ‘log’ in place, drops down beneath the water line, allowing the S.S. Dookie to begin its journey.
>Part of you is going to regret this…
>Rushing the ride, you leap into the ‘log’ and pull the latch down, locking it securely into place.
>The seat is warm and wet.
>You shudder and hold on tight.
>
>Back in Sugar Cube Corner, Twilight sits across from Pinkie Pie.
>“All right Pinkie, why don’t you tell me again what happened.”
>“I don’t know, Twilight, he was here one minute, and the next, I ate the cookie and he disappeared!”



>The purple unicorn sighs at her friend, giving her head a quiet shake.
>“Things don’t just vanish into thin air, especially not living things the size of Anonymous.  Now what aren’t you telling me?”
>Pinkie gives a pained pout, shifting her weight uncomfortably from one side of her flank to the other.
>“W-well, uh…”
>She catches the corner of her lower lip between her teeth, Twilight’s withering look boring deep into her cotton candy core.
>“I may have accidentally…”
>As Twilight leans in closer, there is an audible burble that escapes the pink pony’s belly.
>She gives a quiet groan, her eyes crossing in discomfort.
>Concerned, Twilight leans in even more.
>“Pinkie?  Are you…?”
>The party pony’s eyes cross as she squeaks and hops to a standing position.
>“BATHROOM!”
>Kicking up a trail of cookie crumbs, Pinkie in quick to vanish of the bakery floor, leaving a stunned Twilight to try and piece together what just happened.
>
>It’s another five minutes before the bathroom door swings open, allowing you to exit.
>Your lips are set in a permanent scowl, your brow jutting forward in disgust.
>Behind you, the infectious pink ball of energy is bouncing in excitement.
>“Never mind Twilight, I found him!”
>Stopping long enough to stare at the Celestia’s stunned student, you shoot a look back to Pinkie, then to the unicorn.
“She’s sick.”
>“A-Anon, where did you…”
>Shaking off the curious question before it can even be asked, you make a beeline for the door.
>First thing you’re going to do is shower.
>Then possibly kill yourself.
>Or drink enough bleach to wipe this memory out.
>No living being should ever have to subject themselves to The Log Flume.
>Over your shoulder, you can hear Pinkie Pie call to you.
>“Bye Non-non, see you tomorrow!”
>Fucking Pinkus.


Anon; Anon fucking a pony so hard that she swaps personalities.  This continues all throughout his glorious monkey pounding.

Fucking Fanon

>The applause seems to roll on forever, ponies standing on their back legs and clopping their hooves together in approval.
>You make sure to stand off to the side to avoid blocking the view of any of the ponies who want to see the stage, joining in with the rest of the crowd.
>On stage, the dozen or so ponies bow to the roaring masses, earning an even more enthusiastic ovation, whistles and cheers adding to the deafening din.
>It takes only a moment to spot the mint-green pony with the mile wide smile, clutching a small harp close to her chest.
>She’s breathing heavily, but she certainly seems to be soaking up the crowd’s enthusiasm.
>Though she can’t see you, you give her a smile.
>
>As the performers go off stage, you push your way through the ponies still milling about in the seats and aisles.
>Several of the high class unicorns give you sour looks, turning their noses up as you mumble apologies, but they can just deal with it.
>Working your way backstage, you smile at the studious string plucker, lifting your hand in greeting.
“Hey, Lyra!”
>In an instant, the minty pony’s ears perk up, her head jerking from side to side before she finally spots you.
>With an excited squeal, Lyra charges you, her instrument forgotten on the box where she laid it.
>Leaping into your arms, she is quick to nuzzle your neck, jabbing your earlobe with her horn.
>“Oh my gosh you made it!”
>Your head still ringing, you give a slight nod and smile.
“Of course I did, I wouldn’t miss this for the world.”
>Lyra’s eyes sparkle as she looks up at you, quickly brushing her muzzle against your face.
>“I’m so glad that you’re here.  It’s been forever since I was last on stage and I had the worst case of butterflies.  But, I remembered all the practice and advice that you gave me and it just seemed natural again.  Thank you, so much.”



>You laugh and try to brush it off as nothing, even as your cheeks color a little.
“Honestly, it was my pleasure.  You have such a wonderful talent, it was a joy to watch you perform.”
>Averting her eyes, Lyra gives a small chuckle and shakes her head.
>After a moment, she leans up and plants a kiss on your cheek.
>You can feel the heat coming off of her face as she does.
>A shiver runs down your spine as the warmth moves across your face, right to your wounded ear.
>Her hot breath tickles against your flesh for several seconds as Lyra starts and stops several times.
>Finally, she whispers, in a low, barely audible tone.
>“I, I can’t shake the thrill of being on stage again.  I know it’s sudden, but maybe you could help me relieve some of this tension?”
>Giving a suggestive wriggle of her flank, Lyra pulls her face away and fixes you with those big, questioning amber eyes.
>Still, you glance around before whispering back.
“What, here?”
>The mint pony bites her lip and gives an excited nod, squirming out of your grip and dropping to the ground.
>You watch as she marches towards one of the back rooms, her tail lifted high from her rump.
>Just before she disappears deeper into the backstage area, she shoots a suggestive smile back at you.
>Your stomach knots in on itself, but a sense of adventure overtakes you, and you are quick to follow after her.
>The room isn’t much, likely a place for stage performers to do their make-up in theatrical shows, but it’s quiet and well lit, though Lyra seems to have vanished from sight.
>There’s a quick ‘thuwmp’ of magic, followed soon after by the creaking of the door behind you as it shuts by itself.
>Lyra stalks out from behind one of the walls, still biting her lip as she moves towards you.
>“Can you smell that?”
>You take a whiff of the air and shake your head as your nostrils are assaulted by the scent of aged wood and mothballs.



“I don’t think I can.”
>“It’s the smell of history.  This hall has held more performances than anyone could hope to remember.  I might not be the best at playing the lyre, but being here, knowing that the greatest performers in history played here, it’s exhilarating.”
>Lyra gives a heavy sigh as she leans up against a wall partition.
>After a moment, she groans, grinding the side of her body against the corner of the wooden structure.
>Her movements are somewhat cat-like, rubbing the barrel of her torso against the wall, before switching sides and giving her opposite half the same treatment.
>Despite the fact that she’s facing away from you, Lyra still manages to wink in your direction, her nethers flexing involuntarily as arousal builds in her tiny body.
>The heady scent of her arousal is quick to overpower the rest of the smells in the room.
>All too quickly, you find yourself falling prey to her eager encouragement, walking up behind the mint pony and allowing your fingers to roam her rump.
>Lyra sighs, making several attempts to impale herself on your deft digits, but aside from a few teasing touches, you manage to keep the hungry mare at bay.
>Finally, Lyra arches her back and fixes you with her eyes.
>“Please, don’t keep me waiting any longer…”
>She fits like a glove.
>Not that it shouldn’t be expected, considering the sheer vaginal strength that ponies have, able to mold themselves almost perfectly to any pussy poker.
>Still, either because of the thrill of getting caught, or Lyra’s reckless abandon, you feel like you could absolutely wreck her pony plot today.
>That thought gives you a momentary pause, but you quickly grin and decide to go for it.
>After all, she said that she was tense.



>As you continue to pound away, pushing towards your own orgasm, Lyra gives an audible whimper, grinding her muzzle into the dirt in an attempt to lift her flank higher, trying to take you deeper inside of her.
>“Oh, oh wow, Anon, please…”
>Her breathing has been reduced to an unsteady rhythm of pants and whines as her flank flexes back with each thrust, her muscles milking your shaft expertly as she climbs to her first climax.
>With a helpless cry, Lyra lifts her head from the ground and grins at herself in the mirror hanging against the wall.
>You offer her a smile, still plodding away, though the fact that her eyes are glazing over nearly gives you pause.
>“Wh- what…”
>Clarity returns with a shake of her head, and the mint pony stares in awe at her reflection.
>Lyra’s head very nearly snaps off her neck as she twists back to face you.
>Jaw dropping, the mint pony shows her teeth and laughs wildly.
>“Oh.  My.  Gosh!”
“Ly-ra, what?”
>Through some gymnastic miracle, the amber-eyed pony twists herself so that she’s facing you.
>You grunt, hefting her from the ground and into your arms.
>She’s still staring at you with those amazed eyes, holding herself at a leg’s distance, even as she bounces on your dick.
>“Omigosh, omigosh, you’re an alien!”
>Glancing down at the junction of your bodies, Lyra’s eyes widen further as she lets out a breathless moan.
>“I’m, I’m having sex, with an alien!”
>Something’s gone terribly wrong.
>As you begin to slow down to gather your wits and figure out what happened, the mint pony lets out a low growl.
>“Hey, what do you think you’re doing?”
>If you weren’t certain that you’d end up on your ass with a cracked pelvis from the overeager pony landing on your dick, you would have leaned away.
“Wh-what do you mean?”



>“You’re slowing down!  You’re an alien, you have super-pony stamina.  If we’re going to do this, we should do it right.  Give me everything you’ve got!”
>Lyra fixes you with a threatening glare, which quickly melts as you redouble your efforts.
>“O-oh yeeeeeah!”
>Another whimper, her vaginal vortex encouraging you to continue, even as she climaxes again.
>Head wobbling from side to side, Lyra gives a groan of protest before looking up into your eyes again.
>You offer a small smile.
>She returns it, though she seems slightly confused.
>Then, Lyra feels her hips shift from the relentless rampage of your wonder wand.
>Gaping, the pony stares at you.
>Right before she drills you in the face with her hoof.
>“By Celestia’s mane!  What do you think you’re doing?”
>You reel backwards, the two of you still joined together as you hit the wall.
>Lyra gasps and sighs as you slide deep into her.
>With a shake of her head, the fury lights up her eyes again, and you get another hoof across the face.
>“G-get that filthy thing out of me!  Where’s Bon-Bon?”
>You bring a hand to your jaw, trying to feel if she knocked anything loose.
“Who?”
>Lyra glares at you and twists her head from side to side again, even as her muscles grope hungrily for your hot monkey dick.
>“Bonnie?  Lover, where are you?”
>Lover?
“LOVER?”
>You whirl, sandwiching the confused mare between yourself and the wall.
>She’s quick to squeak in terror, as all the fight goes out of her small frame.
>Slamming your palm next to Lyra’s head, you scowl down at her.



“What do you mean, lover?”
>Despite the fear in her eyes, the pony has enough sass left in her to puff out her cheeks in protest.
>“I’m not t-telling you anything, you stupid, stupid ape!  Now get that thing out of me!”
>None of this makes sense.
>You’ve been working with Lyra for the past four months.
>But, maybe because things don’t make sense, they make absolute perfect sense.
>Jeez, how could you have been so stupid?
>Your friends warned you to never stick your dick in crazy.
>There must have been signs that you missed.
“Fine!”
>You grumble and begin to pull out of the minty mare, only to halt as she gives a loud cry of pleasure.
>Though you look to her face, Lyra refuses to make eye contact, her face flush with blood as she stares at the wall
>“Wh-what are you waiting for.  Get out!”
>Snarling, you begin to pull out again, only for her marehood to clamp down around you.
>“S-st-st!”
>Lyra’s hoof grinds into your shoulder as her body convulses again.
>You’re getting real tired of this shit.
>Giving her a shake, you snap at her.
“What, what?”
>Her eyes wobble about in her head for a few moments before Lyra makes eye contact.
>She wriggles her hips and makes a surprised face.
>Oh fuck, not again.
“What is it!?”
>“S-S-Shoo-be-doo!”
“…Fuck this.”
>You hoist Lyra off your dick and drop her onto the ground.
>As you redress, she drags herself along the floor, constantly repeating
>“Shoo-Shoo-be-doo!  Shoo-be-doo!”
>Before you leave, you spare one last glance back at the pitiful pony.
>She’s sulking, giving a forlorn stare at the ground.
>Those amber eyes meet yours, and something inside you bends.
“Damnit.”
>You walk out from the theater that night with Lyra under your arm.
>She squirms in place, always smiling, continually humming the same three bars.
>“Shoo-be-doo, shoo-shoo-be-doo.”
>You’ll fix this.
>Somehow.


Anon; >rimjobs

>It’s a shame.
>Really.
>On some level you know that this is all your fault.
>Sighing, you glance out the window again, puffing a few stray strands of purple mane out of your face.
>Anonymous stands on the other side, his face ghostly pale, eyes sunken into the depths of his skull, with loose flaps of skin evident around his face.
>All too quickly, you avert your eyes.
>It really is too painful to look at.
>And it’s you fault.
>Or the fault of your weakness at the very least.
>“Rarity…”
>The tell-tale whine of the human lets you know that he caught you looking in his direction.
>A gentle rapping on the window soon follows, with additional small, helpless sounds escaping the biped’s lips.
>You know what he wants.
>And he knows that you’ll give it to him.
>Otherwise he would suffer.
>And knowingly allowing that to happen would run counter to your very being.
>Sighing, you feel your resolve slip away and move to the door.
>There’s a scampering on the other side and by the time you swing the door open, he’s there, squatting and grinning like an overgrown dog.
>Biting your lip, you step aside and let him enter the Boutique.
>Securing the door behind him, you trot close to the human and scowl.
>This can’t go on.
>Clearing your throat, you try to keep his attention on your face for a few seconds.
“Anonymous, we must speak about this problem of yours.”
>The twitchy creature can only keep his eyes on yours for an instant before they’re roaming wildly around your workstation.
>Goosepimples appear his arms as he gives an unceremonious scratch.



>“C-can’t it wait until after, y-you know?”
>Puffing yourself up a little, you try to gain his focus on you again.
“You know how things go once you get what you want.  We need to talk about this now, otherwise you’ll never remeb-”
>Oh dear, he’s shivering now.
>Sighing, you give him a blanket and a gentle smile.
“All right, but only if you promise to speak with me about finding treatment afterwards.”
>Giving an enthusiastic nod, Anon grins and suppresses a quiet cough.
>“Yeah, yeah, I promise!”
>Well that’s certainly a relief.
>Your caring expression gradually turns darker as you allow the magic to flow into your horn.
>Anonymous gives a small yelp as he’s forced to the floor, but the fear quickly fades into a manic grin.
“I suppose you’re ready for another taste then?”
>“O-oh yeah!  Please!”
>A shudder rolls down your spine as you walk closer to him.
>You would be lying if you said that part of you didn’t enjoy this.
>It’s part of the reason why you’ve continued to feed his need for so long.
>That and the shame of being responsible for Anonymous’ state, of course.
>But, knowing this will be your last time, you may as well milk it for all it’s worth.
>Knowing you have less than a minute before the spell wears off and Anonymous can forcibly take what he wants from you, you trot up beside his head and give the human a coy grin.
>He licks his lips and you give a playful bite of your tongue as you obscure your expression from his sight with the gradual lowering of your round rump onto his face.
>Even before you make contact, you feel a playful probing at your backdoor.
>The human alternates between using the rough upper half of his tongue and the slick, gentle underside to toy with your rectum.
>Instinctively, your tongue lolls out to the side in a very unrefined fashion, grinding yourself against his face as he continues his anal assault.



“Ah, Anonymous…”
>Bolts of electricity rocket up your spine, setting off fireworks in your brain as the human tongues you.
>Your marehood spasms violently in rapid succession as you ride out orgasm after orgasm.
>In the midst of your sex addled thoughts, you come to a devastating conclusion.
>Yes, it really would be a shame once he was broken of this dreadful curse.
>But, he is your friend, first and foremost.
>And you must care for him as such.
>As the magic around his wrists and ankles prepares to dissipate, you give a satisfied, if reluctant sigh and pull your toned tucuks away from his face.
“Now, Anonymous, about getting you help...”
>Before you can manage to get the rest of your thought out, his large hands have descended with a tight grip upon your haunches.
>With a squeal, you try to whirl and shake him off, but he pulls you back down onto his face without a second thought.
>Your nethers clench yet again as he tongues that most sensitive place of yours, utterly uncaring as to your current state.
>Such aggression, such raw passion!
>The very thought of him having his way with you makes your legs quiver and you are brought down with your face in his belly as he has his way with you.
>Through whining whimpers, you at last manage to squeal.
“Anonymous, PLEASE!”
>Your broken voice seems to calm the raging beast and Anonymous at last releases your now bruised bum.
>It takes all your strength to pull yourself away from him, and when you glance over your shoulder, it becomes rather clear that you shall not be discussing finding him help today.



>While still pale, a degree of color and tautness seem to have come back to Anonymous’ face.
>He’s smiling, though the pits of his eyes threaten to spill out of his sockets if they grow much larger.
>Around his lips and under the bridge of his nose, a fine dusting of white lingers from your abused anus.
>“Th-th-th-thanks, Rare!  I feel w-w-w-worlds better!”
>As he stutters the jitters come back to his limbs, jerky and wild as he bounces in place.
>Despite the futility, you reach out and try to appeal to his better nature.
“Anonymous please, you promised.”
>Still grinning, the human begins shaking his head.
>The motion grows and grows until it very nearly seems that he will twist his head off at the rate of speed with which he’s shaking his skull.
>“C-c-can’t do that, Rare!  Got so much to do, so much to do!”
>With a whoop, Anonymous bursts through the door, leaving you on the floor to recover.
>The nearly busted hinges squeak in protest as they struggle to support the weight of the door.
>You give a reluctant sigh and tap a hoof to your head.
“Oh Rarity, you should have known better…”
>Sighing, you watch as the dust cloud Anonymous kicks up fades into the distance.
>You ought to pursue him.
>But you know that he’ll be back.
>He always finds his way around eventually.
>Your taint tingles in response and a faint small smile slips across your face.
“I’ll get him next time, certainly.”
