This is a brilliant story I stumbled upon a few weeks ago. It's currently 13 chapters long, and I wager that the author still has several chapters to go before he completes it. Check it out :D

How far will you go to save your family? Your friends? Your empire? Twenty years before the events of the Hearth's Warming Eve story, long before the pegasi had even met the other two races, Commander Hurricane was a simple farmer in the great Cirran Empire. When the neighboring griffon nation declares war on Cirra and everything it stands for, the young Hurricane finds himself thrown into the middle of a conflict with the fate of his very race put into question. Will he rise to be the pegasus Cirra needs him to be, or will the mighty empire fall to the claws of the griffons?


Chapter 1: Breeze

EDIT: The story has been completed, so you don't have to worry about it not being finished!

Now, I haven't gotten around to reading as much fan fiction as I want, but here's a few I remember liking:

I Forgot I Was There

Sunshine and Fire

NOTE: all three are incomplete. Not knowing how these stories end, particularly the last two and especially particularly the last one, haunts me to this day.

While the premise of this story can seem like something very much outof place in the FiM universe, the execution for it is absolutely beutifull and I would deffinetely recommend this

This is more or less also a ship fic between Vinyl Scratch and Octavia.
Just to give a fair warning to those against that type of fic, or pairing (as I still think this could be worth a read, even if you don't support shipping)

As those that can manage to make a "good" (since it is not an objective term) shipping fic interests me quite a bit.

One-shot by Aegis Shield, adapted from the movie "Prince of Egypt" and with altered lyrics to the song "Let my People Go"

Slightly Biblical in the fact that it's taking the plagues from the Bible, but any mentions of God has been replaced with Faust in this adaptation.

Summary:

"My name is Lyra Heartstrings, and you will not remember me. You won't even remember this conversation. Just like with everypony else I've ever met, everything I do or say will be forgotten. Every letter I've written will appear blank; every piece of evidence I've left behind will end up missing. I'm stuck here in Ponyville because of the same curse that has made me so forgettable. Still, that doesn't stop me from doing the one thing that I love: making music. If my melodies find their way into your heart, then there is still hope for me. If I can't prove that I exist, I can at least prove that my love for each and every one of you exists. Please, listen to my story, my symphony, for it is me."

This one's by shortskirtsandexplosions.

If you don't like long fanfics, you won't like this one! XD

As a shorter fanfic:

http://www.fimfictio...ory/36960/tired

SUPER SAD. Lots of feels.

Summary:

Though the distance between Pinkie Pie and her five closest friends has grown in the half-century since they claimed their Elements, she does what she can to prevent the others from drifting away. It’s small things, mostly: tea with Rarity, a drink with Rainbow Dash, a few words with each of the others. The friendship still makes each day together magic, and she works as hard as ever to bring cheer to all of her friends. When the smiles come less frequently, that just makes each one that much more precious.

AND FINALLY, SOMETHING HAPPY!

http://www.fimfictio...1313/mood-wings


Mood Wings - Observations on Pegasus Body Language.

When Twilight Sparkle finds this book, she discovers an entirely new field of research. The secrets of pegasus wings lie before her, and she insists on making her own observations on the matter.

How?

Field research, of course.



All of these stories are fully completed. Or at least, have been announced as completed.

extremely detailed, extremely funny, and so extremely well written that makes you think all the narration is done in Stephen Fry's voice.

I haven't read past sins because I saw the fanart for this ungodly 'Nyx' thing. A filly with a past that Twilight has to protect from people? Hmm, yeah, that sounds original. I know I'm a total prick for dismissing this fanfiction because of this, but really I couldn't think of a more typical storyline. I'm really not a fan of sadfics.

Do you like time travel?  Do you like asking yourself "What if?" Are you ready to read some really cool crossovers and story concepts without needing an entire fic to do so?

 

http://www.fimfictio.../mlp-time-loops

 

The basic premise is that all of reality runs on the N-dimensional supercomputer Yggdrassil (a la Ah! My Goddess) and something broke the system so all the various universes are now trapped in loops while the sysadmins try to fix things.  Some characters are aware of these loops (the 'Anchors'), others are not always 'awake' to remember.  Allows for some really wacky hijinks, especially once characters gain the ability to carry objects between loops.  A great way to spend a little time, and since most of the segments are self-contained you can read a bit, stop, and pick up where you left off without needing to remember complex plot details.

Has anyone here heard of Friendship is Optimal? Because it is my personal favourite.

 

Basically, Hasbro licences a MLP game to a major games company. This company has managed to create a system to create an AI. When creating said game, they create  a CelestAI. She creates and runs most of the game. She has one core command- to satisfy your values through friendship and ponies. And she does that.

 

And it is completely consensual.

Scootaloo Dies a Bunch

In which the titular filly suffers silly, pointless, hilarious deaths in every episode of FiM, rather like Kenny from South Park.  Rather dark humor, but an effectively undying Scoots and a few great one-liners make it a fun read.  Chapters are really short, which is always a bonus.

I went on a reading binge recently through the [comedy] section on FiMFiction.  Here's some gems that really made me lol. (all summaries copied directly from fic pages)

 

No Bucks

It is a little-known fact that all living beings are born with a finite amount of bucks to give. It is little-know due to the fact that most ponies will die long before all of their bucks could been given. But Twilight Sparkle seems to give a buck about everything, and she's depleting her storage far too quickly. This is what happens when Twilight Sparkle runs out of bucks.

(Natimus Note: Drugs are bad, mkay?  Drinking is pretty bad too)

 

Hail to the King

King Sombra’s dark influence was obliterated by the Crystal Heart, and the villain is well and truly dead. But when he attempts to steal the afterlife of an innocent victim, a human spirit is left hurtling towards Equestria, where this unfortunate soul is revived into the only vessel available: the reconstituted body of King Sombra himself.

Thus, a cheerfully oblivious alien is crammed into the form of the most evil and malicious being Equestria has ever known. Not that Shining Armor and Cadence know this, of course. As far as they are concerned, the King is back and he’s lost his fricking mind.

(Natimus Note: If you're going to do a human in Equestria fic, this is one of the funnest)

 

A Minion for the Night

All of Equestria's princesses have a minion to call their own; a servant, helper and friend. Celestia has Philomena, Twilight Sparkle has Spike... so it is only logical that Luna should have on too. However, they will soon find out that this special minion shares a trait with Luna that she would rather forget. 

Borderlands 2 crossover, Krieg the Psycho goes to Equestria.

Rated Mature for bad language and later maybe violence... and capslock, lots of capslock.

(Natimus Note: no one actually gets permanently injured, but there is a lot of violence and foul language.  This is Krieg after all.)

 

Shipping Sickness

Twilight Sparkle flagrantly abuses her Come-To-Life spell, and learns a little bit about love in the process.  Also, puns.

(Natimus Note: a fairly quick one-shot that lives and dies by how funny you find the very last line.  YMMV)

I've been reading... a lot... some of it I can even post here.

 

A puppet to her fame

My unicorn parents called me a worthless mud pony. They pushed me every day to overcome my lowly status. When I woke up one morning with my cutie mark, I thought they would love me. I couldn’t have been farther from the truth. It was not destiny or enjoyment that led me to discover the cello and composing. My parents made that decision, deciding before I was born I would continue their family legacy of famous musicians. They did not realize what that decision would cost them.

 

This is a very dark but not overly bloody story, it is also the first fic I was scared to finish the final chapter of, but I did and I don't think I will be smiling for a while. This fic is very psychological, relying more on you feeling what Octavia does than just trying to skock you with violence. I highly recomend it. Scribbler has doen an excelent reading of it on youtube (damn it!) so if you don't want to just read it then you could listen to her version instead.

 

The light goes out

There comes a time when the light must go out; but how do you know if you've burned brightly enough?

 

A beautifully written sad story and very short if you just need a good cry.

 

The battle of fort book

Twilight Sparkle's imagination as a child was unbelievable, probably due to all those books. Which also make up the amazing Fort Book, Twilightopia's first stronghold against the country of Armor! With the help of Captain Smartypants and Private Cadence, General Twilight defends her fort against her brother's advancing army of one!

A tale of Twi's childhood told from her point of view.

 

This one is a fun short story, definatly read this after either of the other two. Audio version by CrazedRambling (this guy is so good)

 

Fallout Equestria Murky Number Seven

To become a slave is bad. To be born a slave is forever damaging. For young Murky, the life of the labourer and servant is all he has ever known, raised without knowledge of freedom or the concept of choice. But when the brutality of his newest masters in Fillydelphia becomes all too much and the heroic escape of a certain little mare takes place before his eyes, Murky finally discovers a life worth fighting for. His own. Broken from the indoctrination, Murky sets out to reclaim the freedom that has been denied to him throughout his entire life. Against abusive slavers, a fatal illness wracking his body and the attentions of ponies that often cannot be trusted, Murky sets out to achieve the impossible. To escape Fillydelphia. But when your cutie mark is a set of shackles... are you really supposed to be free at all?

 

Written by our own RetroSicotte. I'm only about quater of the way through what he's got written but I'm really enjoying it.

 

The keepers of Discord

You'd think that being trapped in stone would mean that, if nothing else, I could get some peace and quiet. Unfortunately, it seems that Celestia has other ideas. She has appointed these ponies... these 'Keepers', as she calls them, to keep me entertained during my incarceration. Honestly? I'd prefer the boredom.

 

A really good Discord story, kindda sad and Discord is a bit 'hate hate hate' in places but he was just petrified so it's ok.

 

and finaly one of my favorites...

 

Hard Reset

Twilight isn't having a very good day. An experimental spell blew up in her face, an army of changelings is attacking Canterlot, and she just died. Yet somehow, it looks like it's going to keep going downhill from here. Given the chance to correct what's gone wrong, Twilight swears she's going to fix all this even if it kills her. Which it will. Frequently.

 

I absolutly adore this story, can not recomend this one enough, it has a sequel but I haven't read it yet.

 

So many more but I'll save some for another day.

No one has mentioned this, and it is one of the best fanfics ever. In my opinion. 

 

It's a story of two stallions in a town called Bradoon (if I remember correctly). I don't want to spoil it, but it's fantastically written and the romance feels spot on. It's a bit dark, but ultimately heartwarming and amazing.
