Xenophilia, written by AnonAuthor and published on Fimfiction.Net by AnonponyDASHIE, opens several months after Bellerophon "Lero" Michaelides' unexplained arrival in Equestria. Despite missing his home and family, Lero has adjusted well — he has multiple paying jobs, a nice house, and a close friendship with Rainbow Dash. Said friendship gradually grows into love, but Lero fails to pick up on it until Rainbow impulsively kisses him in the opening chapter. The relationship soon escalates into explicit human on pony sex scenes.From here, the story follows Lero and Rainbow Dash's relationship through Rainbow's eyes as they both attempt to understand and adjust to each other's cultural and social norms. Particular focus is given to Equestria's tradition of polygamy, (a necessity given the male-to-female ratio) where the lead mare of a herd will set her stallion up with unattached mares.This story has since spawned a large amount of Recursive Fanfiction, (though some have partially involved the original author): a Scrapbook Story sequel — written in-universe by Twilight Sparkle — numerous collections of side stories, and a spinoff saga, all in progress and set at various points in the timeline, and several one-shots. The series has had a large influence on Friendship is Magic fan fiction due to its popularity, with elements from the story increasingly being referenced or borrowed in other works.The following Recursive Fanfiction also have their own pages: Divided Rainbow Into The Hedge Xenophoolia | |

Bizarre Alien Biology | |
| Xenophilia (Fanfic) / int_1161fb48 | comment |
Bizarre Human Biology: Several characters are utterly perplexed by human males possessing nipples. The strength of Lero's hands also surprises many ponies who expect them to be extremely fragile. To ponies, Lero's sweat smells like high end cologne. Big Mac even mentions how unfair it is for someone to sweat something that he has to shell out good bits for. | |

Freakiness Shame | |
| Xenophilia (Fanfic) / int_1589afa2 | comment |
Freakiness Shame: Owing to a combination of factors, Rainbow Dash has a very low opinion about her appearance and comes to view herself as a freak. Lero strongly disagrees with this assertion. | |

Primal Fear | |
| Xenophilia (Fanfic) / int_20215dc6 | comment |
Primal Fear: One reason why Lero is shunned by many ponies when he initially ends up in Equestria is for fear he'll eat them. For the most part this disappears after he makes friends and earns the respect of many of the town's residents. When this concern is brought up he is so visibly horrified by the thought of eating something intelligent it brings a bunch of ponies over to his side. | |

Puny Earthlings | |
| Xenophilia (Fanfic) / int_26d18908 | comment |
Puny Earthlings: Discussed. As a result of being placed in a culture where females seek to protect him and where he is viewed by almost everyone as weak and fragile, Lero finally snaps when threatened and lectures his would-be attacker that just because he isn't as strong as a pony, it does not make him helpless. Said discussion takes place as he's holding the would be attacker up in the air by her throat, only not hurting her because he doesn't want to, as he most certainly can. | |

Oblivious to Love | |
| Xenophilia (Fanfic) / int_2848e7d2 | comment |
Oblivious to Love: Lero, for several weeks prior to the first chapter, partially as a result of his lack of knowledge of Equestrian culture and social cues. It's especially apparent in the side-story "Living the Dream". Rainbow herself doesn't figure out that Lero does reciprocate her feelings until he kisses her back. Twilight also falls afoul of this, and at several times becomes convinced that Lero has no interest in her or wants to kick her out of the herd. Partly because she misunderstands human body language and customs, and partly because, hey, this is Twilight. | |

HypocriticalHumour | |
| Xenophilia (Fanfic) / int_29e6dc40 | comment |
Hypocritical Humour: When Twilight writes to Celestia about her friends' suspicions of a relationship building between Lero and Rainbow Dash, she criticises Applejack for suggesting a pool on the outcome of their time together, which she thinks is a terrible thing to do to a friend. As such, she put herself down for no more than three bits on the spread. Given the nature of the bet it's possible to infer that she had to make up reason to have the spread before she could place money on it. | |

Exotic Extended Marriage | |
| Xenophilia (Fanfic) / int_3012325a | comment |
Exotic Extended Marriage: Due to Equestria's disproportionate female-to-male ratio, monogamy is considered selfish and most stallions end up in relationships with three mares, more if there's another stallion involved. | |

Shipper on Deck | |
| Xenophilia (Fanfic) / int_31da1e24 | comment |
Shipper on Deck: Mares have a tendency to engage in this in-universe due to the gender disparity. Rainbow Dash points out to Lero that if they didn't do this, it would result in a lot of unhappy and lonely ponies. Twilight's recorder also seems to be very keen on shipping Lero with Shining Armour. | |

Super Drowning Skills | |
| Xenophilia (Fanfic) / int_34bd7be2 | comment |
Super Drowning Skills: According to Rainbow Dash in the side story "Fish out of Water", ponies either fall into the category of capable swimmers or being completely unable to swim at all with no middle ground, most in the latter group. Lero is also initially believed to fall into this category due to the poor swimming abilities of apes, but he quickly proves them wrong. | |

Sex Slave | |
| Xenophilia (Fanfic) / int_362461f6 | comment |
Sex Slave: As a result of the matriarchal culture, stallions usually ended up being used as little more than this in the past, until the princesses put a stop to the behaviour. Apparently a fetish in-universe for some, to Twilight's disgust. | |

Your Normal Is Our Taboo | |
| Xenophilia (Fanfic) / int_4de0f392 | comment |
Your Normal Is Our Taboo: A common issue. Public nudity is a common aspect of pony culture, to the point where concealing clothing is somewhat stigmatized as related to menial labor. Grabbing a mare's chest isn't anything unusual, but touching a pegasus on the wrong part of the shoulder is scandalous in public. "Dolphin-style" as a position is uncomfortably kinky. A mare should never let the stallion pay for a dinner date. | |

Fantastic Racism | |
| Xenophilia (Fanfic) / int_57b80b45 | comment |
Fantastic Racism: Honeydew, Honeybee, Honeysuckle and Glitter Dust towards Lero. The attitudes of the first three are fleshed out a bit in the side story "Fish Out of Water" - Honeysuckle and Honeybee are disgusted by interspecies mating, but Honeysuckle doesn't enjoy being mean as much as she let on earlier, and Honeybee is a decent enough pony to leave them alone after Lero saves her from drowning. Honeydew remains a full-on Jerkass though, giving the impression that her sister's life is worth nothing to her. Bon-Bon's mother is stated to have been an outright Noble Tribalist, unwilling to hire unicorns to do a job even if her lack of hands or magic made doing the work herself nightmarish. She was still perfectly nice to Lyra, a unicorn, as her daughter's friend, though. It's implied to be a frustratingly common attitude, albeit one thankfully fading with time. | |

Head-Tiltingly Kinky: Rainbow shows shades of this, being very willing to push the envelope and try new things. Twilight in comparison is much more reserved and reluctant to try what is unusual behaviour for ponies. | |

Gender Rarity Value | |
| Xenophilia (Fanfic) / int_6370e1c0 | comment |
Gender Rarity Value: Mares outnumber stallions about four to one in the general Equestrian population, and Ponyville is closer to eight to one. Unusually, there's a mix of forms of this trope: while stallions have a good deal of social power and thus are worshipped in some ways, they historically have lacked political or economic power and were either possessed by mares or at least used for labor. | |

Human patriarchal culture, and specifically the concept of males defending females, becomes a repeated Culture Clash when in a society where the men are supposed to be defended by women.

Bon-Bon's mother is stated to have been an outright Noble Tribalist, unwilling to hire unicorns to do a job even if her lack of hands or magic made doing the work herself nightmarish. She was still perfectly nice to Lyra, a unicorn, as her daughter's friend, though. It's implied to be a frustratingly common attitude, albeit one thankfully fading with time. | |

Deliberate Values Dissonance | |
| Xenophilia (Fanfic) / int_aabe2fb | comment |
Deliberate Values Dissonance: In-universe, this affects a lot of Rainbow and Lero's relationship, as well as Lero's interactions with other characters. Exploring these differences and Lero attempting to adapt to them is an integral part of the story. In particular, Lero's attitude towards nudity causes much confusion for ponies and is frequently brought up. Human patriarchal culture, and specifically the concept of males defending females, becomes a repeated Culture Clash when in a society where the men are supposed to be defended by women. Lero standing up for his mares rapidly escalates even small problems into major disasters as the nearest mares want to defend their stallion. Twilight's attempts to compensate for this when she tries courting Lero and Rainbow Dash fail spectacularly, as a result of her trying to extrapolate human culture from gryphon and dragon behaviour. | |

Balanced Harem | |
| Xenophilia (Fanfic) / int_d7b0f14 | comment |
Balanced Harem/Supporting Harem: Played with. In modern Equestria it's common practice to not favour one member of the herd over another, something which Lero tries to adhere to. However, Rainbow Dash receives more prominence in the story and - despite being considered an antiquated custom - is viewed as the lead mare in the herd by Twilight and Lyra, something which Rainbow personally detests. Lero explicitly says at one point that Rainbow "will always by my favorite." Twilight and Lyra don't seem to mind, as long as they get plenty of attention too. | |

Vitriolic Best Buds: Lero and Rainbow Dash both enjoy verbal sparring with each other, and each gives as good as they get. | |

UnusualEuphemism | |
| Xenophilia (Fanfic) / int_d848560f | comment |
Unusual Euphemism: Referring to a stallion as a "saddleblanket" is extremely offensive and implies he is being courted for amusement. Literally something a mare would use "to keep her back warm". | |

Handy Man: In addition to massage, Lero's hands are sought for fixing the plumbing and various other hard-to-reach maintenance issues, earning him respect and acceptance from all but the most stubborn of ponies. Given the gender roles, probably also an example of a Wrench Wench. Spanner Stallion? | |

Xenofiction: The story is told mostly from Rainbow Dash's perspective, with some chapters being written from Twilight or Lyra's point of view. The completely different instinctual reactions and thought-processes of ponies plays a very large role in the setting. | |

The Matchmaker: Rarity and Twilight are both this towards Rainbow Dash, and encourage her to express her feelings for Lero. Celestia later encourages Twilight and Lyra to try and court Lero. Mares in general engage in this as a solution to the lack of stallions. See Shipper on Deck. | |

| Xenophilia (Fanfic) / int_e3c36782 | comment |
Call-Forward: In Chapter 11 of The Xenophile's Guide to Equestria, Twilight's mother advises her against trying to construct a hypothetical model of Lero's social structure. "I just hope you didn’t do something silly like try to construct an analogue of his society by mixing up a pastiche from the descriptions in Aggie’s book." As seen in Chapter 8 of Xenophilia, this is exactly what she did. | |

A-Cup Angst | |
| Xenophilia (Fanfic) / int_e621b159 | comment |
A-Cup Angst: The pony equivalent. Rainbow having a lack of 'bounce' to her flank, combined with her strength and musculature ends up causing many stallions to ignore her or blow her off for more attractive mares, and leads to some serious self-esteem issues about her appearance. | |

Jerkass | |
| Xenophilia (Fanfic) / int_eb8ec7c8 | comment |
The attitudes of the first three are fleshed out a bit in the side story "Fish Out of Water" - Honeysuckle and Honeybee are disgusted by interspecies mating, but Honeysuckle doesn't enjoy being mean as much as she let on earlier, and Honeybee is a decent enough pony to leave them alone after Lero saves her from drowning. Honeydew remains a full-on Jerkass though, giving the impression that her sister's life is worth nothing to her. | |

Fee Fi Faux Pas | |
| Xenophilia (Fanfic) / int_ecfbba60 | comment |
Fee Fi Faux Pas: Lero starts the story with absolutely no idea of Equestria's concepts of private behavior, then learns body language from a pegasus that's got the hots for him. Among more minor mistakes, he practically gropes Rainbow Dash in public without realizing that certain types of preening aren't done in public, and in another story doesn't realize that romantic nuzzles are romantic and then does the Equestrian equivalent of making out with everyone he meets until corrected. | |

Muscle Angst: Female version. Rainbow's exceptional strength for a pegasus and stallions' reactions to it gives her a very poor body image. It doesn't help matters that her strength ended up causing her father to wonder if she really was his daughter. | |

Wouldn't Hit a Girl | |
| Xenophilia (Fanfic) / int_fc45bac0 | comment |
Wouldn't Hit a Girl: Wouldn't Hit A Stallion: Inverted. Due to the reversed gender roles, hitting a stallion is something most mares would never do. The behaviour is so ingrained that when Lero is threatened by Shimmer, Rainbow Dash after the event is very skeptical that she would have actually gone ahead and done it. | |

Beware the Nice Ones | |
| Xenophilia (Fanfic) / int_fccd06b6 | comment |
Beware the Nice Ones: The stories note to the point of exhaustion that Lero is quite a bit more frail and weak than all kinds of ponies, a fact he himself is all too aware of. However, as one chapter in the main story demonstrates, he can easily strangle a unicorn out of channeling a spell... and that's without trying to cause any real damage. Lyra as well. After Rainbow tells the others about Lyra's martial arts background: | |
