''[[http://www.fimfiction.net/story/84642/ "Bonds Beyond Species"]]'' is a ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' fanfic by [[http://www.fimfiction.net/user/Yasahiro Yasahiro]].

A Knowledgeable video-gamer and an experienced troper into the lands in My Little Pony verse, but outside Equestria. He is traveling with Lyra Heartstrings in order to find Gilda the Griffon, yet slowly they realize that ponies closed off themselves towards other species in the world.

It uses the "Human in Equestria" concept in a fun way. Many tropes are referenced, because the main character is a troper.

It's set in the same [[TheVerse verse]] as "Hands" and "Versus Equestria"

----
!!Tropes:

* ActionSurvivor: Subverted. When pushed to his limits, Kaisei sure is Action. Not much of Survivor, though.
* AfterActionHealingDrama: Happens in chapter 4 and 5
* AwesomeMcCoolname: Main character didn't like his real name, so he decided to call himself Kaisei. It means "Vocal Harmony"
* BerserkButton: Kaisei for Lyra, Lyra for Kaisei.
* BewareTheNiceOnes:
* ClingyJealousGirl: Lyra to Kaisei. Apparently, it is caused by finally seeing something she studied for most of her life.
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Kaisei is a simple average troper, but when too much is at stake, he is going to ignore pain just to reach his goal.
* TheDreaded: Humans to some races in this universe. Used by Kaisei to intimidate some Griffon thugs. [[spoiler:Doesn't go as planned.]].
* FantasticScience: Kaisei starts learning how to use Runes.
* TheGlomp: Lyra meets Kaisei.

** He copies [[Franchise/DragonBall Vegeta's badass boast about saiyans]]. [[spoiler: It doesn't intimidate his opponents, though]]
