"I hope that you don't make a habit of this saving people thing. You aren't very good at it." She didn't know that he was a wizard, or that he was destined to save the world. Very slight Harry/OC.

Wasp
http://www.tthfanfic.org/Series-2391
By Tanstaafl
http://www.tthfanfic.org/AuthorStories- ... staafl.htm
These stories are set in a alternate universe that has (almost) no interaction with any other characters of the Buffy verse. Originally I was only planning on one story - actually if you read the introduction to Stingers I was planning on a completely different story but that didn't happen. Given that, Stingers went where it did and I thought I was done, but the avid (and positive) reviewer response, and comments, got me thinking about it and has resulted in another story about Buffy and Barb. I don't know how many more, if any, I'll do. There are a couple further possibilities bouncing around in the back of my head but at this point they aren't ready to go down on paper (such as it is).
I hope you enjoy the stories, positive (and even helpful negative) feedback is always appreciated.
Recommended by DeAnno. Stingers is something I'd actually never seen before: a Buffy WW2 fic.

SG1 Xover. Recommended by Cataquack Warri & Arkeus. Stars Jack O'Neill (Jr.) as he moves into Richard's class. It's okay, but not the best. I think that part of the trouble came from the difficulty in merging the canon for both Stargate and Anita Blake. Still, it makes for an interesting and filling read.

By batzulger
http://www.tthfanfic.org/AuthorStories- ... zulger.htm
Dru and the rest of the Buffy Universe belong to Joss. Gotham and its residents belong to DC.
This starts in early March 2003 in the BtVS Universe and I am playing loose with the DC Universe, so it is after No Man's Land and most of the events around Final Crisis didn't happen. Except that obviously Renee Montoya became the Question and Kate Kane reappeared.
I didn't start this out as a long story (let alone series!)more as a ficlet with the idea of Dru meeting the Creeper (The Mustard Man) on top of Gotham's cathedral, and it kind of rolled off from there. I write this in bursts in between coding at work, and as I work from home and at all hours of the day or night, updates can be at...peculiar intervals.
I just hope I'm doing Dru justice and she doesn't get offended.
Recommended by Dusel. Drusilla in Gotham, an 11 part series with it's own Big Bad and happy ending. It's a POV story and I found it really good. Basically Dru is so mad she's actually good.

By DocBones
http://www.tthfanfic.org/AuthorStories- ... cBones.htm
This is something I've had stuck in my head for years, ever since reading 'Looking for acceptance'. I kept thinking "what if . . . ", and this is the result. This is the Buffy-verse with immortals added, so there are a lot of changes to the Highlander canon, please bear with me- I have good reasons for it. And yes, I know their first seasons weren't simultaneous, but I moved Highlander to align them- I wanted Methos settled in Sunnydale before meeting Duncan.
Recommended by Narf the Mouse. "Death in Sunnydale? Sounds like business as usual, but all isn't quite as it seems." - A surprisingly readable BtVS/Highlander crossover.

Things stick after Halloween, and apperently comic book knowledge does work! Who knew?! Of course Marvel comics might have something to say about it! Hehe.

DC Xover. Recommended by JoeHundredaire. My Summary: Paul came up with this one after reading one too many asstarded "Buffyzen dresses as Marvel/DC character, gets transformed, and then ends up in DC/Marvel so they're isolated from what they know and where they 'should be' and oh yeah everyone in Sunnydale is a hardcore comics fan that could make Comic Book Guy look like a n00b" fics.

Some of you might be familiar with the predecessors; I took both posted versions along with several full rewrites I never got around to posting, sat down, read a good many reviews for other WIWU stories to see what annoyed other people, and decided to see if I could navigate around the landmines while also producing something superior to my original.

This started out as a DC universe / NCIS / West Wing crossover, but things started to snowball.

I seem to be having a lot of ideas for this universe, and hope that there will be more stories.
DC/NCIS/West Wing/DW/Bones Xover. Recommended by JoeHundredaire. Sadly didn't actually win the COA that year and under our new rules, it isn't eligible to go again. Shame. Definitely one of the more interesting Superfamily stories out there. [NOTES: Not actually a BTVS fic.]

So pull up a pew, at to the stories if you feel like it, or just soak up the atmosphere with a brewski...
Enjoy your time at Nights
Multi Xover. Recommended by krinsbez. After the series, Xander opens a bar that starts getting a very...interesting...clientele, and a policy of asking said interesting clients to leave something behind. Starts out as series of vignettes, but eventually develops an actual continuity (albeit one with some holes in it, explained by alternate universes), as various drop-in characters become regulars or employees at the bar, and various items become major plot devices. The first part has 269 chapters of various lengths, the second part has 72 and remains ongoing.
The writing quality varies, but the storyline as it develops are pretty nifty, especially when stuff from various universes interact. For example, Yoda picking up the Hammer of Thor.

It is a crossover between Norse Mythology and BtVS, a very well written piece, it doesn't immediately daviate from canon but as the chapters roll things happen differently, a small hint - when Angel is about to leave with the Judge's hand, the attack is twarted and he leaves Sunnydale.

Description: In which Luna and Celestia discuss nothing in particular, and nothing of interest occurs, across four brief points in time as Luna readjusts to life in Equestria.

Across The Sea
http://www.fimfiction.net/story/31152/Across-the-Sea
By John Hood
http://www.fimfiction.net/user/John%20Hood
The Defiance of Nightmare Moon was long ago enough that most ponies consider it more legend than fact. But Equestria's history goes much further back, to an age half-remembered in myth and mystery. In the dim past, the race of man emerged from the fog of the unknown, a time so distant that even the Princess's grandparents were young.
But it is at the dawn of Celestia and Luna's rule we lay our scene, as Equestria threatens to tear itself apart, and the human nations across the sea grow ever stronger in their reach and influence. Both are on a collision course. This is the tale of Tempest Blackwind, a young pegasus exile, of Aharôs Loiar, a man against the world, of the two alicorn Princesses, struggling to be the leaders their subjects need in a time of crisis, and many more who would leave their mark on a time now forgotten by all but a few.
Recommended by Invictus. I don't see these kinds of well-executed, high-fantasy style stories very often in fanfiction, and this one in particular grabbed my attention and kept it nonstop throughout all four of its current chapters. Though, the first two were somewhat less polished than the latter two.
The premise of human civilization pre-existing in Equestria, wielding cannon and arquebuses, and its clashes with an angry, young Celestia is new to me. And the story does a good job of establishing relatable, three-dimensional characters on both sides (no "humans are the real monsters" tropes here).
Anyway, it's a very overlooked story considering its quality, so you should all check it out and drop it a rating.

A Different Viewpoint Of Equestria

By Christopher28
http://www.fimfiction.net/user/Christopher28
An archeologist finds himself pulled into a parallel world by Discord's storm of Chaos, and encounters the mysterious creatures that live there. How will a rational human, confronted by creatures out of mythology, and unable to find his way home, adapt to his environment? Only one way to find out.
Recommended by Toon Warrior. The OC human protagonist felt a bit Mary Sueish at first, because he seemed to have a unusually large skill set, but the author fixed that problem by giving his protagonist a well-rounded personality and clear limitations to what he can do. This story kind of sticks to the "formula" of HiE stories, but also comes up with some very original and thought-provoking ideas. The characterization is top-notch too, check it out.

Alicorn
http://www.fimfiction.net/story/19341/Alicorn
By Aldea Donder
http://www.fimfiction.net/user/Aldea%20Donder
Rainbow Dash usually had her head in the clouds, but she always thought she knew up from down. When an incredible revelation sends her life into a tailspin, she finds herself at the mercy of emotions she never thought she had, faced with hard questions and impossible choices. What is the importance of family? Of bloodlines? Of sacrifice? What does it truly mean to be alicorn?
Recommended by Shepard1707. Take the standard Fanfic idea of one of the Mane 6 as Celestia's daughter, and make it the least likely pony to be that. (Well, without delving into outright impossibilities). The read is... riveting.
EDIT UPON READING TO THE LATEST CHAPTER: Allow me to emphasise in proper luna fashion... THIS IS A MUST READ!!!!

There's more than one way to lead, and more than one way to be an Element of Magic. An AU looking at the effects of a slightly different early life for two unicorns.
So yes. This resulted from wondering what Trixie would be like as an Element of Magic. Given the choice, I decided to make her and Twilight childhood friends because of the potential for their entire life to be a gigantic Bokke and Tsukkomi routine (a comedian/straight man routine).
I also think that Trixie would do well as a combat mage. After all, she's genuinely powerful (if not so powerful as Twilight) and more importantly she's very good at misleading and bedazzling others. In fact, this entire thing began with my writing the fight scene with Nightmare Moon.
Finally, the Discording she had is based in part off what happened to her in the Pony POV series.
Hope this at least gave you the odd laugh.

She ventures into the forest to visit her friend. An AppleTwi ship.
Recommended by Richardson. It just hits you in the feels, and does it again, then makes you worry in a whole brand new way for Twilight. It's not, however, based on Stare Master. But it's not the first time Twilight's gotten stuck in that form of a situation. A little rusty around the edges, but still good.

After discovering somepony has crashed a hole in the her club house, Applebloom investigates only to find the last pony she would ever imagine.
This was a bad idea, and for that I am a bad person, still if it gets any response what so ever I promise to continue.
Friend-shiping
Recommended by Richardson. Apples in the Sun, where Applebloom meets Celestia the awkward way and gets the privileged of being her first construction-talented faithful student. If Applebloom ever connects with the clue by four that Celestia just whacked her in the head with. Dat pony never gonna get her cutie mark at this rate.
Unrecommended by schpeelah. Oh dear God, this needs a spellchecker badly, then the grammar is so bad some sentences are nonsensical, Celestia acts so completely weird and the entire thing can be summed up as "OOC Celestia crashes into CMC treehouse to praise AB's carpentry."

Apprentice Of A Chaotic Future

By Frantic Author
http://www.fimfiction.net/user/Frantic%20Author
Equestria's past and future has never been set in stone. A single pebble sends ripples through the fabric of time, and now nothing is the same.
An ancient being rules a kingdom with an iron, yet playful fist.
His apprentice questions her loyalty, both to herself and to her country.
An earth pony leads a revolution against a ruler who may be a tyrant.
A pegasus learns to fly on her own merit, but struggles to face reality.
A unicorn desperately tries to convince a dear friend that murder is not, and never will be the answer.
A farmer tries to find another way to live, and yet cannot even fathom why she has been left here.
A pony who loves nothing binds herself to the ground, desperately searching for a reason to exist.
And two princesses are trapped together in stone, communicating to the only one who can save them in the only way they can.
The board is set. The die is cast. Fates are never linear, and the cards lie through their teeth to get what they want. Who will live, and who will die? Who will fall and who will fly?
Dear reader, I apologize...
But that is not for you to decide.

The star system Omega Centauri was just another oddity on a map to scientists in the not too distant future. However when they found the star was orbiting an earth-sized, earth-like planet instead of a black hole as its motion had suggested, a mission was scrambled to investigate this most unusual of celestial behaviors.
Hamstrung by politics, and nearly crippled before it began, the 'Lone Ranger' mission was reduced to just one crew member and left to his own devices.
These are the logs of Arrow 18 and its lone commander. This information is classified TOP SECRET by the Global Space Agency.
Do NOT tell the princess.

This is getting annoying, so I must write this. I've never read "My little Dashie". I don't know what it's about, aside from people going emo over it. You don't have to believe me, but it's the truth. I have a distinguished hatred for unoriginality, which is why I like to experiment and make weird things.
Mathews Fore is a simple man. He has a decent job with decent pay. A rather nice little house at the end of the road. A "dead-end" if you will. The only problem? He hates lack of security, although everyone in his neighborhood has a tendency to watch the actions of eachother, so no theft has gone unpunished...by them. Due to his fears of security, he erected a very tall fence around his house that he further covered with a green cover, so nobody can see through it. His yard is pretty huge in itself.
However, he starts to feel lonely. He doesn't want a woman, nor is he gay, so he doesn't want a man. He just wants something to hug. He doesn't want a pet, but he doesn't want to adopt a kid either. He just wants something adorable to hug and kiss on the forehead. Something intelligent. But what? One night, there was the announcement of a meteor shower, so Mathews decides to take his chances and wish upon a star, just like in his childhood stories.
He gets what he wants, but is it really worth it?

Hearth's Warming Eve has come once again, which means fun in the snow, warm food, and spending time with family. At least, that's what it means for most ponies. For Scootaloo it means a day off from crusading, loneliness, and the coldest night of the year. When Discord begins to whisper to her from his stone prison, she questions the beliefs held by many. What was so great about Harmony? What could be so bad about a world where chocolate milk fell from the sky?
Recommended by AngryDesu. A few of the early chapters are a bit rocky (i think the author was planning to go a different direction originally), but on the whole it's been a nice read for me. I particularly enjoy how the manipulations going on are written - and how there's no shame in being nice and helping people in order to further a less than benevolant end goal.

From the highest peaks of the Crystal Mountains, to the lowest, coldest, blackest pits of Tartarus, they're bound for riches, glory, and nearly lethal amounts of cider! With notable figures like Daring Do and the long-forgotten Patchwork Prince along for the ride, there's no telling what incredible adventures are in store.
Be it battling sky pirates at the very roof of the world, braving the terrible splendor of Roam, the last great slaving city, or founding a nation in the heart of the Canterlot Caverns, only one thing can be certain for our heroes...

Great character development, emotional scenes, awesome battles and it covers all the logistics, stratagy and civilian sides of the war. The author seems to be on an extended holiday at the mo but as far as i know he plans to finish it. It also has the absolute best General Derpy who goes from being a militia organiser to running a whole army....the gryphons learn to fear 'The grey Mare"

But as the need for friendship overflows inside her, she will do what she must to stay happy. In hell, she will create a paradise.

On a warm summer evening, something sinister brews high in the clouds. It is not detected until weather sensors start picking up heavy electrical activity and rain in what seems to be a large storm.
All flights start to divert away except one that is too close, FedEx 715.
The flight enters the storm over Kansas, but as the pilots soon find out, they aren't in Kansas anymore, but instead a land called Equestria that they can't seem to comprehend at first.
How will they interact with locals and what will be the outcome of their sudden arrival?
Recommended by Cody Fett. Here's an interesting HiE story that's starting up. FedEx 715 is a story that stars the crew of the titular cargo flight as they travel through a lightning storm and into Equestria -- not much so far, but the author has a really good grasp of aircraft mechanics.

First Pony View

By Suomibrony
http://www.fimfiction.net/user/Suomibrony
Have you ever had a dream that just seemed so real, that it was impossible to say for certain that it was even a dream at all? A dream that, despite all of its impossibilities, seemed to re-write your entire perception of reality, re-writing your sense of what—and indeed, who—you are? Accepting change is hard enough as it is. But when you're a somebody who wakes up as a somepony, how do you cope with the impact such a drastic change has on your mind and body? With changes like these, it must surely just be a lucid dream—albeit a suspiciously accurate one—just brimming with potential and ripe for exploration. So you might as well suck it up and make the most of these distressingly…unusual circumstances, and seize this psychological adventure before you wake up and the dream ends.
After all, this couldn't possibly be real, so the dream must come to an end eventually…right?
Recommended by Richardson. Guy gets turned to unicorn mare overnight, thinks he's still dreaming a day or so later, and has been transported to some strange and creepy-close universe where ponies and humans coexist. Then he finds out that he's not dreaming and has the mother of all breakdowns and is finally on the rebound again. That is, of course, if she didn't have a psycotic break to start with and has been hallucinating that she was at one point a male human. Waaaaaay better than it sounds.

"Tell me something, if you can. What would you do if everypony you loved was suddenly taken away from you? Everypony that once provided you happiness and warmth and purpose, suddenly thrust from your grasp. Would you travel to the edge of the world for them? Beyond it? That's what I did. Because I needed to. Because there is nothing for me without them. Now you're going to tell me where they are, or I swear to the goddess I've lost that this will be twilight of my innocence."
When every last pony in Equestria save for Twilight inexplicably disappears overnight, a force from a parallel world is blamed. Now, the young mare plans to travel to this strange land in order to find what was lost to her, a world where a civilization of ponies thrives via the usage of not magic, but steam technology. With unexpected allies helping her from the shadows and light, Twilight will soon discover that things may not be as simple as they seem.

Is it better to be respected, or admired?
This question has always troubled Chrysalis, and being banished from Equestria has not made it any less of a pressing issue for the queen of the changelings. Cut off from her armies and alienated in a strange land, she adapts and blends in to survive. For a master of deception, this is no difficult feat, but despite her success in the business world, her new life is unfulfilling. She is almost always hungry, because the creatures she has found herself stranded with are much less generous with their love.
More than anything, she longs to be her true self, and to be adored for the regal being she truly is. Of course, she knows that no one could ever love a changeling.
Or could they?

My name is James Clark, and I am a Private Military Contractor. No, not Mercenary. Yes, there is a difference, but that's beside the point.
Ok, where was I? Ah yes, I was just entering my office in Downtown Houston one afternoon to hear a job offer. When I got there, I found a beautiful, robe-wearing woman waiting for me. Now, in this day and age, most people would find that strange. I didn't for two reasons.
1) In this line of work, you run into a few crazies. If I had a dollar for every nut-job I turned away, I could buy a small European country.
2) It was Halloween. Hell, I was on my way to a party dressed in a replica suit of Veteran Ranger Armor from Fallout: New Vegas, complete with gas mask and real riot gear I borrowed from a friend on the SWAT team. I was gonna win the costume contest for sure!
I'm getting off topic, aren't I? Anyways, this weirdo offered me a job without going into much detail. No location, no objective, not even a dollar amount The only thing I got out of her was the promise that I would be saving thousands, if not millions of lives.
Every instinct told me to turn the job down, and yet I still accepted it. Maybe the idea of playing hero again had its appeal.
God, I had no idea what I was getting myself into.

When you are a former gladiator, saved from the breeding pens by a kind hearted old stallion, you have even fewer. Enter Rainbow Dash, ex-gladiator, a mare with beauty, and the strength to protect it in a world determined to drain all color from her life.
Freed from the horrors of bloody combat, Rainbow has taken those skills, and those killer instincts, and turned them to protecting the ponies she once killed. For a price of course. But sometimes, life throws the unexpected at you. On a mission for the Lady of Ponyville, Rainbow finds out two things. One, that purple unicorns are absolutely infuriating. Two, that they are also the bravest ponies she has ever met. Excluding herself, of course.

By FrozenPegasus
http://www.fimfiction.net/user/FrozenPegasus
Kate the college student loves ponies. But unwanted magnetism to her own gender has also made her a bit of a homophobe. Landing smack in the middle of Ponyville, she discovers (to her horror) that she is even more attractive to mares than she is to women. Her mission? Find actual friendship without being shipped. Whether or not she's successful... is entirely up in the air. A fun reversal and satirical poke at HiE tropes with heart to spare. As a small warning, while the story is not particularly explicit, there is quite a bit of innuendo which is played mostly for laughs.

Longest Night, Longest Day
http://www.fimfiction.net/story/14662/L ... ongest-Day
By RainbowDoubleDash
http://www.fimfiction.net/user/RainbowDoubleDash
Trixie Lulamoon, the personal student of Princess Luna, has finally, through a combination of reasoning, pleading, and whining, managed to convince the princess to invest some real responsibility in her, and give her a chance to show off everything she's been learning while under the alicorn's wing. Luna has appointed Trixie to be the official representative of her Night Court to the town of Ponyville, which this year will be hosting the Longest Night Celebration. Trixie is additionally tasked with overseeing the preparations for that festival.
At first, things seem to be going less than swimmingly. The catering is way too many kinds of apples, the weather patrol is far behind, the musical maestro is nowhere to be found, and the decorations could use significant toning down. To top it all off, Trixie can't help but feel that this was less an appointment to a position of real responsibility, and more an informal exile from the Night Court. Still, things could be worse: a mad alicorn goddess of fire and hate could escape from her millennial imprisonment on the sun and try and conquer Equestria.
But what are the chances of that?

Set in a world where humans are mythological. Where they are said to be volatile and unstable creatures. Both capable of great good and evil. Now let's think if a cartoon was based on this. Banned from being shown to little fillies a few nights; it showed their violent nature, the kindness in their hearts and the many ways to make friends. What if the ponies were the bronies and 'humares'?
What if they enjoyed the show's violent nature? What if after 5 seasons of action, normality and friendship, the show came to a climatic end. When the heroes died in a blaze of glory, what happened next?
Apparently the characters are summoned from the show. Although this unique cast of miss fits might have a problem finding out they're the product of somepony's imagination. Worst of all, these soldiers might have a problem with the all of the haters of the show.

~Another spinoff to "Omnius' Travels: Equestria". Not required to read.~
When Gods do battle, they very rarely directly involve themselves. No, they much prefer to send in their own pawns to do their bidding. Normally, this results in their chosen pawn creating different...changes. They forever change the course of whatever world they're sent to, whether it's intentional or not. Now, since I technically work for the Gods and Goddesses of Good, it's not really a surprise when I somehow wind up on a version of Equestria which is being used for a sort of chess game...
What's really strange, however, is the fact that I'm not a pony this time around. Not like all of the other Equestrias.

Pipsqueak's Day Off
http://www.fimfiction.net/story/35782/P ... 7s-Day-Off
By Chuckfinley
http://www.fimfiction.net/user/Chuckfinley
UPDATE: COMPLETE! You may have heard of Pipsqueak. He's a pinto colt, originally from Trottingham, saved Nightmare Night from being abolished seven odd years ago. Know the one I'm talking about? Yes? Good. Since then he's grown into a charming, cultured hedonist who wants to bed near every mare in Ponyville and a good few of the stallions. He has a slender build and some ponies say he has mares' hips, though he feels that those ponies should shut their bloody mouths. His best mate is the gregarious and multi-talented Featherweight, and his other best mate is the stoic trencherpony and excellent cook Chowder.
This is the story of a Friday, and the wee hours of a Saturday. It's a teacher training day, and Pipsqueak and his friends have no school.
In twenty-four hours, a sinister plot to take down a local business is launched, Snips and Snails dabble in the dark magic of Peyuase, a great deal of debauchery occurs, a cocktail of unrivaled destructive power is created and a small fleet of ships are launched! All of this and more, in Pipsqueak's Day Off!

PonyFall: Majestic Royalty

By DragonLS
http://www.fimfiction.net/user/DragonLS
Gerald McCormack, a 22 year old college student (And someone who likes to swim in junkyards, that disgusting freak...) that is living by himself with his trusty butler, Gordon. When he stumbles upon a strange majestic-like woman in his own obstacle course--with a pair of Double D's I might add--he takes the woman in, and realizes she strongly resembles Princess Celestia! Will she be able to handle the human world that is so different from Equestria's? Or will she go into a paranoia freak out and Gerald would be forced to kick her out since she seems to be a crazed drug-addict hippy!?
LET'S FIND OUT!
Caution: Princess Celestia is a trademark of Equestria everywhere. Bikini Not Included.
AN: This is part of a collab called PonyFall, which each author is required to take one pony from the Equestria unvierse and place her into the human world, within the self-insert's care. Yes, this is a self-insert... somewhat. Every author in the collab is required to do this. And honestly? I vowed never to do self-inserts ever again, and this was 6 years ago...
...Buuuut I made an exception since this is a collab. It's been awhile.
Rated T: Violence, stabbing muffins with a fork, unnecessary poking, and some rule 34 of a fan and a paper shredder (I'm kidding)
And yes, since this is a human fic, I want you guys to be honest with the criticism. Please don't "Ooh, it's an over-done human fic so I'm gonna thumb it down" sorta deal, I ask that you at least give it a chance, especially since every other collab author is doing the same thing.

Original Synopsis:
Canterlot has withstood invasions, takeovers and even weddings through the efforts of five ponies--five ponies whose stories may be more closely intertwined than any of them realize.
What Is This?: A story borne entirely of selfishness and my wishing to see Shining Armor and Princess Cadance as characters more firmly-entrenched in Friendship is Magic canon. However, it... morphed into a lot more than that along the way. Whoops!
Dear Princess Celestia: I love writing you. SO. MUCH. <3
Dear Princess Luna: ...is it still called "retconning" if you're just filling in canon-blanks while playing fast and loose with time?

There really is no excuse for forgetting something as important as a hoof-written law. But Celestia forgot. And now, a thousand years after she wrote it, a law comes into play mandating that Celestia take a two-month sabbatical from her duties as Princess of Equestria.
So what happens when she has to step down for a couple months and leave Luna by herself in the bloody gladiator ring that is Equestrian politics? What happens when Celestia has to disguise herself and mingle with the populace of Ponyville without them knowing?
The short answer to that would be "a string of hilarious chance encounters, sisterly banter, romantic mishaps, and a political coup that was decades in the making."
The long answer, of course, is this story.

Scootaloo's rather embarrassed by her Mom. Not because she isn't cool, arguably she's both the hottest and the coolest mom in Ponyville. It's not about the fact that her mom serves on the royal court either, though that doesn't help. Maybe it's got more to do with the fact that the reason her mom is almost never seen after sunrise or before sunset, or because before the Mare in the Moon returned to Equestria, she knew her name.
Or, you know, that her mother is a chocoholic, an embarrassing know it all that's actually lived it all, owes personal favors to Princess Luna, and has the unfortunate job description of 'ruler of the land and day'. Sure, having Celestia as your mom is cool and all, but at the same time nopony can know who she really is. Nopony gets to 'know' her, and every moment is guarded against snooping visitors. And yet, there's still hope for a better day to come.

After the royal wedding is concluded and everyone is sent home, Celestia sequesters herself to brood over her failure. It's up to Luna and, eventually, Twilight to break her out of her funk.
A delicious blend of alcohol and goading.
The story, or the writing of it?
Yes.

So Be It
By device heretic
Her beauty, sullied; her wisdom, corrupt; my love for her, violated. But still I answer...
Summoned to the palace in the dead of night, Twilight takes up a burden that even her generous, loving soul may not be able to handle...
Humanized Twilight/Tyrant!Celestia.
Mentioned by Parley. They're mediorce fics at best that gained popularity on the premise of sex. They have the depth of a plastic swimming pool and a story out of a cheap porno. The idea of Molestia is almost universally terrible. The fic, So Be It, made by device heretic, leans on the idea slightly. It's more of the basis where Celestia and Twilight use each other for support, but it's written in a way that involves Tyrant Celestia and a disenchanted, almost abused Twilight. It's a lot more psychological, so it might be what you want. The sex is light lime at best, but I'm not going to give the watchdogs any reason to complain and link. [NOTE: What Parley said.]

Everything must end eventually. Ponies will drift apart as they grow, each of them pulled down a separate path of life. For some, it's a paved road lined with bright lights and jeweled sunshine. For others, it is merely a simple trail with only the light of the stars, sun, and moon to guide them.

Starlight Over Detrot: A Noir Tale
http://www.equestriadaily.com/2012/07/s ... -tale.html
By CEO Kasen & Chessie the Cat
Monster attacks. Crime. Illegal hallucinogens made from electric fruit.
They say things didn't use to be like this. They say things were different, before Luna came back 60 years ago, but Detective Hard "Hardy" Boiled of the Detrot Police Department has never known any world other than that demarcated by the seedy streets of his beloved decaying metropolis; a world in which the coroners sing and dance, surveillance bugs have personality disorders, and the Chief of Police is a scarier entity than most of the eldritch things the city attracts.
The grey unicorn who turned up dead outside the posh High Step Hotel seemed like just another case, but her missing horn is just the pointy tip of a very large and nasty iceberg. It's up to Hardy and his friends - a rejected monster hunter, a psychic cab driver, and an underground antiques heir - to find out what’s going on in an investigation that promises to turn Detrot upside-down and inside-out.
Especially if Hardy has anything to say about it.

Sun And Stars

Every five thousand years, history is changed.
Celestia and Luna are dying, and they must choose two ponies who have what it takes to succeed them as the Princesses of the Day and Night.
Now, Twilight Sparkle and Rainbow Dash are thrown into the world of royalty; from shoving around clouds and studying magic to leading an entire country with two days' experience.
How long can everything last before it falls to pieces?
Unrecommended by Richardson. Giving an at least temporary 'stay away' unrec for 'Sun and Stars', because the author has decided to go full on grim-derp with random Discord appearing and locking Twilight and Dash completely powerless in teeny orbs and taking over everything with no visible way for the two of them to recover.

A noble earth-pony family, fallen somewhat on hard times, is killed in a mining accident. They leave behind a single male heir, who is in sore need of a guardian, and of protection. Celestia takes the young pony under her wing and delivers him not to ponies - not earth, unicorn or pegasus - but to a dragon, an ambassador, an old friend of hers.
Playing a game which may just be deadly to the uninformed, the dragon decides that the one path open to him to ensure the safety of his charge and to carry out his sworn duty, is to adopt.

He's not a good stallion, but maybe he's a better one than even he would guess. Now if only he'd stop being so cynical...
Recommended by Leoric. Its a story about Blueblood done in mostly diary form with sequences of normal story inbetwen. And this is one of those Bluebloods that acts like a git to get rid of gold diggers. The novelty comes from Blueblood actuly being part of a charity organization aswell as being somewhat socialy inept when it comes to mares... And its seriously tilting towards being the wierdest pairing ive seen in this particular fandom yet since it would apear to be a Derpy/Blueblood shipping fic. Amusing both because of the unique pairing aswell as being a decently written story.

But when a certain mailmare finds two tickets to the convention addressed to her house, she decides that it is not only her privilege, but her duty to attend.

Unrecommended by schpeelah. Read 11 chapters because I'm slow on the uptake when it comes to bad fiction without serious WTF moments, and I can tell you this: it's a waste of time.

A strange series of occurances are plaguing the fine city of Canterlot, as one by one, a pony of vengeance strikes seemingly random ponies down in their prime. As the locals try to contain the situation, they find that it soon slips out of their hooves as they discover that this one simple pony might not be as simple as was originally thought. Once Twilight Sparkle and Princess Celestia gets involved, can everyone work together to bring down this threat that threathens to ruin the very core of Canterlot? These City Walls is an exploratory tale about character, relationships, mystery, and the very old, ancient powers that be. And once five innocent ponies get tied up in the lives of each other, a struggle begins to keep the entire city safe for future generations.
Recommended by Felix3D. Mystery and Intrigue with a cast of OC's, but done pretty well. It's about murders in Canterlot, and the way the characters react and play off of one another is very interesting. I don't like how slow it seems to be going on with the plot, but it is a very good read.

Ponies love order and predictability. They feel comfortable in a position of control over nature, weather, magic and the movement of the sky. Change is frightening. Perfection is paramount. When ponies begin to feel like they are losing control of these things and perfection is slipping out of their hooves, they look for something to blame. They are certain it can only be some malicious force of evil. Little do they know, their unwitting culprits will come falling right out of the sky. What ensues is a long and perilous struggle to reconcile the conflicting views and beliefs of two very different civilizations.

But, with Celestia coming home each day with a new set of bruises and a slightly more forward royal attitude, her subjects begin to fear her more than love her.

As the nightmare loses it's power, it plummets to the earth followed by an explosion of Power that the Royal Sisters know too well. However when they find the epicentre of the explosion they are shocked to see an Alicorn with no memory, and no name.
Yet the question remains. Why does it resemble Luna so much that they could be twins??
Follow the story as this unnamed Alicorn makes her presence into Equestria, for better or worse.

Only to find out that the old magic actually changed the specter into a new young alicorn. Oops. And now her and Luna had the brilliant idea to hide her in the same town as the CMC's while they go deal with dragons. Applejack's horrified realization bakes a cake.

But the mission turns out to be much more than political discussions - if scheming unicorn courtiers, unfriendly surly reindeer, bloodthirsty pirates, ancient sorcery and dangerous monsters weren't enough, our heroines must deal with something old - older than Luna. And is Luna really ready for diplomatic action, will Twilight learn to use a fan properly, and exactly how wrong are Spike's superhero comics about reindeer mythology?

And now, they need to find a way home, hopefully without strangling each other in the process.

In the year 2745, humanity's grasp of the sciences has advanced to an almost unfathomable level. Sub-space matter transfer technology grants almost instant access to countless worlds across thousands of light years. These advanced machines are not without their limits. The vast energies which constantly course through them put immense strain on their inner workings, and it is your job as a highly trained maintenance tech to fix what breaks. On your way to a typical repair job things take a turn for the decidedly weird, and you suddenly find yourself thrown into a world both familiar and alien. Will you ever learn the cause of your displacement, or will you be forever subject to the whims of this strange new world?
One thing does become quickly apparent. The citizens of your new home are frightened to learn of your species' carnivorous ancestry, the signs of which are made painfully obvious with every toothy grin. What's a pony to do when these ancient surges of primal fear sow a quickly growing seed of carnal need? A tumultuous avalanche of the deliciously devious awaits.

A freak lightning storm, strange lights, an unassuming, yet mysterious stone obelisk... What do these things have to do with an average college student from North Tonawanda? At first, nothing. But when nineteen year old Connor finds himself at the center of a cosmic coincidence, he probably should have left well enough alone. Now, he's stranded in an impossible world filled with real magic and populated by sentient creatures calling themselves "ponies." A stranger in a strange land, Connor's yearning for answers and a way back to Earth will try both his patience and his sanity in the days following his arrival, even with the support of his new equine friends. But as he witnesses his life slowly spiral out of control, he will call into question his definition of home, humanity, destiny, and what it means to truly belong.
Rated Teen just in case for occasional swearing. Please read the foreword first for context.

The Age of the Imperium is coming to an end. The Emperor's light glows dim as time continues it's endless march. There can be no peace among the stars. No safety can be found in the void. Attacked from within by separatists and heretics, besieged from without by xenos and daemons. His domain dwindles, planet by planet and system by system. The High Lords of Terra are forced to partake in wars ever more costly and apocalyptic. Survival is no birthright, but a prize wrestled from an uncaring galaxy by forgotten heroes. As the darkness close in, the Imperium of Man are at war as never before. A hundred thousand warzones are spread across the galaxy, wracked in constant endless unremitting war. This is humanity's darkest hour.
In the Eastern Fringe of the Ultima Segmentum, the Medusa V campaign is coming to a close as the Warp Anomaly Van Grothes' Rapidity moves to consume the planet. Facing this bizarre and deadly celestial phenomenon, the Imperial Guard are deployed to evacuate as many citizens their cargo can hold will while fending off the heretical forces of Chaos and opportunistic xeno raiders taking advantage of the discord. But their efforts comes at a terrible price and the Guardsmen of the 82nd Vendolant are abandoned to their doom. In their final act of defiance, they'll have to make a decision between duty and destiny.

Twilight Sparkle: HEROINE OF THE IMPERIUM
http://www.fimfiction.net/story/14479/T ... E-IMPERIUM
By SolvableSphinx
http://www.fimfiction.net/user/SolvableSphinx
Commissar Twilight Sparkle has a problem. She is expected to be a brave, fearless leader who can coerce a regiment of common ponies to perform great feats of courage and skill through a combination of inspiration and fear, often times against genetically engineered super-soldiers, warped cultists, demons from hell, soulless murder machines, an inscrutable precursor race, their fallen brethren and the naive upstarts known as the Human Empire. Unfortunately, she considers herself a cowardly, self-serving mare with too much knowledge and not enough guts to use it. In short, she's the sort of pony she's supposed to shoot.
Yet her actions, through minor acts of heroism, critical thinking and sheer dumb luck have landed her quite the reputation as a heroine. The parties and liquor are nice, as is the companionship. But the generals simply pin on another metal, tell her that she's done a good job, give her a pay raise and find new, more creative ways to try and kill her.
She has to survive a hostile universe and execute her duties, without earning the ire of her superiors or dying in a 'unfortunate friendly fire incident'. All while trying to find a way to retire with honor, or at least find a nice and quiet posting with a good book, a good looking colt and a steady supply of tea and cider.

You do whatever work comes your way. You rely on anyone still talking to you. A speed-freak ex-marefriend. A megalomaniac illusionist working as a middlemare for the EIS.
Family too, if you're desperate.
Bottom line is, as long as you're banished, you're not going anywhere

Following the Events of 'Traveler', Twilight goes to Canterlot to deliver her report on what has transpired since the Doctor's Arrival in Ponyville directly to Princess Celestia, leaving the Doctor alone with Spike while the TARDIS attempts to recharge and fully repair itself from it's fall into Equestria.
Although at first distraught at being stranded in the seemingly serene township of Ponyville, The Doctor must re-examine his initial assumptions about Ponyville, The World of Equestria, and His Compulsive Need to Travel when he is confronted with the almost miraculous, impossible events surrounding Ponyville's resident party-mare: Pinkie Pie.

While Rarity and Pinkie immerse themselves in two opposite ends of the local culture, questions that have gone unasked for centuries draw Twilight into the shadowy labyrinth of intrigue and deception that sustains a delicate balance of power in this ‘perfect’ society. A balance that some will go to any length to preserve.
And as the mystery surrounding the cryptic messages left in the Doctor’s path continues to unfold, will the growing schism of distrust between Time Lord and Friendship Scholar over unspoken secrets cost both ponies more than either of them are prepared to lose?

A story of transequine conspiracy and horror.
Ten years ago, Equestria achieved a technological singularity. It did not survive the night. During an event now known as The Fall, the first Artifically Generated Alicorns unlocked the true power of Discord, and became the Nightmares, laying waste to Equestria before mysteriously vanishing.
The sun now lays still in the sky, and transequines, the refugees of ponykind, try to find their place in the worlds and spaces left behind, where the body is transitory, where the mind can be fundamentally altered, where a beating heart and breathing lungs are luxuries that some cannot afford.
The Dreamcatcher network exists to prevent the extinction of ponykind, whether by the return of the inscrutable Nightmares, the insidious Discord Virus, or other threats that arise, by any means necessary.

Once upon a time, on the not-so-magical planet Earth. There was a US Marine who signed up to defend his country. He was assigned to a fire team, the fire team assigned to a squad and the squad assigned to a platoon. Together they defended the area surrounding a Forward Operating Base in Afghanistan from insurgents. If only it were that simple.
When lone Marine is transported to Equestria he finds a post-apocalyptic wasteland. With no orders, no resupply and seemingly no hope of return, he sets out to find what brought him here, and why.
Strong Language Warning: He swears like a Marine.
Mentioned by Cody Fett. Another HiE starting up is Fallout: Equestria: Rules of Engagement (a US Marine Brony ends up stuck in the Wastes after a convoy attack with nothing but his kit, his wits, and PipBoy 3000), which, as I said in my review, has the potential to either be totally crap or totally awesome depending on how the next chapter goes.

It Must Be Tuesday

http://www.fimfiction.net/user/Explodium
The Lone Wanderer has been known as the man who shouldered the nightmares of every man, woman and child in the wasteland, so that they may live. But when the Wanderer was once again abducted by aliens, he found himself falling, quite literally, into a whole new wonderous world, untouched by the horrors of nuclear devestation.
He has been facing other people's nightmares constantly for almost a decade, it was high time he was allowed to wake up. Meanwhile, the ponies of Equestria are baffled by a strange object that fell from the sky.
Recommended by Toon Warrior & Kaotix. It appears that the author has made the Lone Wanderer from Fallout 3 and the Courier from Fallout: New Vegas the same person. I also enjoy the setup to everything with how the Lone Wander ended up in Equestria. It was made completely plausible based on one of the DLC. It has some very cute moments once the LW meets up with one of the ponies but also some drama and action surrounding it. It is 6 chapters so far.
The ponies and the human do not speak the same language and cannot as of yet understand one another. They can however understand or at least get the gist of each other's inflection, tone, facial expressions, and body language. It also switches back and forth from the LW's PoV and one of the ponies (A different pony depending on what is going on) letting the reader see their internal thoughts and reactions on what is happening. I personally am enjoying this fic and hope you guys do too if you decide to read it.

Scarlet had seen many things in her travels throughout the Wastelands and thought she had seen every during her recent year in the Mojave Desert. But due to a strange energy phenomena right as she was teleporting, she arrives at a world unlike her own.
Recommended by Kaotix & Cody Fett. This is a Fallout: New Vegas Crossover with a Female Courier named Scarlet. It stars so far Scarlet, Applejack, Braeburn, Little Strongheart, and Princess Celestia. It takes place in and around the town of Apploosa. Scarlet is an irreverent gal who isn't afraid to speak her mind to anyone, including the Princess much to everyponies' surprise. She finds herself in Equestria due to an accident at the time the ponies of Apploosa are dealing with a problem of their own. The Orchard that the town depends upon is getting sick and slowly dying due to some sort of disease that Applejack has never seen before yet sets Scarlet's pipboy a ticking.
The main reason I've been enjoying this fic is how Scarlet is totally no nonsense with the ponies. She's not outright mean but she does have a tendency to be a little short with them. But hey, if you've have been attacked by a bunch of griffons repeatedly since arriving who are interested in you, you'd be a bit short as well. Her conversations with Celestia are pretty entertaining since Scarlet pretty much treats her like she would anyone else and rather informative when Celestia reveals she knows about the Wasteland that Scarlet comes from.

One night, after watching her sister raise the Moon and set the heavens alight, Princess Celestia begins to bed down for the night, only to be interrupted by portal forming in her room. From out of the portal comes none other than Twilight Sparkle, garbed in strange armor.
Princess Celestia, along with Luna, Cadence, and Shining Armor, are overjoyed by the Element of Magic's return, but are justifiably curious as to where she had been and what she had been doing. And so, Twilight begins her tale. A tale of survival against impossible odds. A tale of a people fighting for the most basic right of all sentient beings. The right to exist.

Well-written too, with decent chapter size. No major complaints, with a minor one being that the cast seems a mite too panicky.

This shouldn't happen anymore since DOZENS upon DOZENS of people offered to help edit my scripts after I released this and i'm truly amazed and touched with this pony fandom. It's generosity to lend a helping hand to a stupid crossover I thought people wouldn't like had me mind boggled, I appreciate all your positive feedback and the constructive criticism you have given. Anyway I hope you can still enjoy this despite my dyslexic writing style.

My Little GLaDOS
http://www.fimfiction.net/story/43513/My-Little-GLaDOS
By TheApexSovereign
http://www.fimfiction.net/user/TheApexSovereign
After GLaDOS is uploaded into a potato battery, Wheatley humiliates the AI further by inserting her into a project that was abandoned by Aperture many years ago. When she wakes up, she finds herself in a deformed body of flesh and bone that resembles an equine, and just as powerless as one too. It comes with all of its needs and bodily functions as well. To make matters worse, she's in a land full of insufferable creatures that just want to make 'friends.' Will GLaDOS' cold, sadistic sense of humor and morals get the better of the ponies? Or will they peel away the once artificial being's metallic shell and find that there's a softer side? Probably not, but it's worth a try.

The reign of Morgoth in Arda is over. He has been defeated by the Host of Valinor and the Valar have bound him once more in the chain Angainor and cast him through Doors of Night into the Void. There he has drifted for many long ages, pondering his deeds and his defeats until Ilúvatar comes and offers him a chance at redemption. Softened by ages in the endless Void, Morgoth accepts this chance at freedom. He is given a new body and sent to a new world with the task of learning the values he has shunned for so long. In this new world, under the watchful eyes of Equestria's Valar, the Dark Lord will come to realize that there are yet things greater than the power of darkness.

Observation And Protection
http://www.fimfiction.net/story/17239/O ... Protection
By Stillmatic
http://www.fimfiction.net/user/Stillmatic
'Have you heard about a new major expedition into the Zone? Technically, they're environmental researchers from the U.N., but that's just on paper. Sure, they've got a couple four-eyed scientists, but one look at all the others tells you they're seasoned fighters. Oh, and dig this; They're not using guides.' - Hog the Mercenary
The Tourist, a veteran stalker hired by the United Nations as an escort, finds himself working with the International Scientific Group, a collective ranging from hardened experts to frail researchers. After gaining clearance from the Ukrainian government for another expedition, the United Nations arms and readies their best field operators, the ISG.
Deployed into the Zone, these interlopers reach their destination, a large Space Bubble with an unknown exit. Quickly, the group enters the Bubble before a large emission and arrive within a forest, where they set up their mobile lab and temporary base of operations to make the best opportunity of an new anomalous area inside of what they assume to be Zone. However, as time passes and new encounters are made, it becomes more and more obvious that they aren't in the Disaster Zone anymore. Pressure begins to mount as the Zone's influence begins to leak into the forest, along with old dangers.
Without a doubt, the group as well as the Tourist will have to struggle to survive against the dangerous flora and fauna that sees fit to consume them. Of course, those become less attention-worthy once sentient, small horses come to investigate the stalkers and scientists, who are easily seen as a threat. The Zone is cruel, but new encounters can be crueler.
NOTE: This is a S.T.A.L.K.E.R. crossover that relies heavily on lore. The ISG faction was only mentioned, mostly cut from the series, but is still canon. Takes place roughly during the end of ShoC.
Recommended by Cody Fett. Not interested in the hilarious misadventures of OCs? Well too bad, 'cause the next story I'm recommending is Observation and Protection. The summary is a tad long, so to make a long story short it's a crossover with S.T.A.L.K.E.R. in which a spacial anomaly opens up between Equestria and the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone. The sheer size of the anomaly peeks the interest of the UN and they said a team of scientists and special forces through to study the area, but not before the horrors of the Zone begin to appear in Equestria and reek havoc.

-Star Trek

The Quandary Of DisQord
http://www.fimfiction.net/story/18984/T ... of-DisQord
This is a Star Trek: The Next Generation / My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic crossover fic (though it's mostly just a FiM fic since none of the Star Trek: TNG cast except for Q show up, though a few are briefly mentioned). The frame story is set immediately after the TNG season 3 episode "Deja Q." The story being told to Q2 (who is simply called "Q" rather than "Q2" in the fic itself) by Q is about Q's existence as Discord from his first arrival thousands of years before the events depicted in the play in "Hearth's Warming Eve" up to the end of "The Return of Harmony."
The three main characters are Q/Discord, Celestia, and Luna, and there is much star-crossed shipping between Discord and Celestia. The main 6 from the show only appear near the end and don't play that big of a role outside of a partial retelling of "The Return of Harmony" from Q/Discord's point of view.
The Quandary II Where Nopony Has Gone Before
http://www.fimfiction.net/story/41514/W ... one-Before
This is a direct sequel to my previous fic "The Quandary of DisQord" and is, of course, a Star Trek: The Next Generation / Friendship is Magic crossover. This time, however, Q has decided to bring the crew of the Enterprise-D along for the ride as well.
This is a much lighter story than "Quandary" was (since "Quandary" was the story of Discord's reign prior to his first defeat, it was bound to be a bit on the dark side). Also, be warned, though I tried to keep them to a minimum, there are still a few references to and spoilers for "Quandary" in this fic here, so I'd obviously recommend reading that one first before reading this one. Though, at the same time, this one is hopefully self-contained enough that you wouldn't necessarily have to read "Quandary" first in order to understand anything, if you don't care to.
Also beware, there is a bit of very mild one-sided shipping between one of the ponies and one of the humans, but nothing super serious or squicky or anything like that. And the Discord/Celestia ship from "Quandary" is touched upon again, of course. Just thought I'd mention it here, in case someone might be turned off by that sort of thing.

Once, the wrong choice was made, and a race of ponykind was forever laid extinct, only to breathe life into another in a grand act of cosmic irony. At the same time, a mother lay low in her tomb, her final act of life giving hers to the one she loved most. From this turmoil escapes one stallion who must fight for his life when those two very same choices push and pull him into new worlds, filled with new adventure and new danger around every corner.
And it doesn't help one bit that they have minds of their own.

Congratulations on choosing this, the first edition of A Brief History of Equestria!
For far to long, the vitally important role of educating our foals of the history of our nation has been delegated to Folk Lore and word of mouth, while the realities of the past have been documented, stored and educated only to the elite. It is therefore the intent of myself, the Royal Historical Society, and the Royal Ministry of Education to provide the common pony with access to a document that offers as full a history of Equestria as can be practically provided, which is the tome you now hold in your hooves.
Keep in mind that no single book cannot replace a properly structured and scheduled classroom on the subject, and while an Encyclopedia format would give a much more comprehensive narrative, the copious amounts of information would render the exercise counter-productive. As such, this book can only give what amounts to a summary of an abridged version at best. It is my hope that everypony who reads this gains an insatiable thirst for more. Hopefully with further editions, more knowledge can be included, along with a collection of tie-in texts that focus more closely on specific areas of interest.

A grim fate awaits Equestria, but in a time of greater strife and conflict, Discord's return is accelerated. While he expected to bring chaos, he did not anticipate that he would end the Longest Night and bring hope and joy back to the land.
Discord struggles to reconcile his nature with his desire for admiration. While Twilight's friends strive to carve a new life in the ever-shifting Equestria, she searches for Celestia, the only one who can bring harmony back to her lands. But Nightmare Moon also seeks her sister in a desperate attempt to find her place in the world. New dangers lurk in the wild and more threaten to fall over Equestria. Nightmare Moon's decision broke the balance of the world. Will Equestria ever turn to peace, or will the spiral of chaos and destruction be the end of everything?
(An alternate history, this story takes the universe established by the canon and explores one possible outcome if Princess Luna had not been redeemed.)

What should one do when they find their current knowledge lacking? After the changeling attack, Twilight has to answer that question and for her the solution is simple enough. But her chosen path may yet turn out to be her downfall. Will the cost of knowledge be too high? Or will she be victorious in her journey into the paths of darker magic? One way or another Twilight will find it out as she learns under her new teacher. There is however one thing everypony close to Twilight should remember, that history likes to repeat itself...
Mentioned by Richardson. Apprentice of the Stars was going good, then the author went into DERP! territory with the latest chapter. In which Luna is shown to have not changed one bit, and is secretly plotting revenge on Celestia while threatening Twilight her one true friend and the new COMMANDER of her guard. Story didn't need that. It had enough with Twilight learning to live with the guilt of going on a roaring rampage of revenge and trying to learn control of her now weaponized magic, along with Luna establishing herself in her rebuilt castle.

Arrow 18 Mission Logs: Sparkle's Notes

By AdmiralTigerclaw
http://www.fimfiction.net/user/AdmiralTigerclaw
It occurred one peaceful night. Half of Equestria awoke to the sound like a double-shot thunderclap. A percussion heard in the skies and rattling windows from Apploosa, to Canterlot, to Ponyville. Nopony knew what it was or what it heralded for the world as it drew a line across the nation.
For Twilight Sparkle, this isolated incident might have faded from memory after a time, if not for the strange rumors of a creature sitting on the hill on the outskirts of town.
These are her thoughts given written form. These are Sparkle's Notes.
Report EVERYTHING to the Princess.
Recommended by r0b0panda. Basically, it's the plot of Arrow 18 from Twilight Sparkles perspective. Watch as she explodes in shear joy upon communicating with "the Stridetaur".

Cheer up, Twilight. It's not every day somepony changes species. In fact, no pony has ever changed species. It's something new and you like discovering new things. Granted, Equestrians don't like new things, especially things that fundamentally alter their government. So maybe there is reason not to be happy after all.

Ask Researcher Twilight

As my studies advance to an ever-higher level, I find myself, of necessity, increasingly cut off from outside contact. However, now more than ever, it is extremely important to document my research. After the things I've- After recent events, I must admit that I may lack perspective as to what is important. So I turn to you; Ask me stuff.
Recommended by permutant. So, nothing like the tumblr it's supposedly inspired by then?
Because I know the tumblr. I like the tumblr. In it, Twilight lives in a cave complex in Everfree, in a lair that appears to have been designed by a fusion of GLaDOS and a Cenobite (she just found it that way). She is compelled to destroy everything around her and squeeze science out of the remains - including herself and everything she holds dear. She's a wreck, trying to decide in what way to end herself, she has scratched out her mark and refreshes the scars daily (and cannot remember doing so IIRC), she still cries "why didn't you run, Spike?" and is glad her family is where she cannot hurt them. Whenever a glimmer of hope appears, she can't help but purposefully smother it.
The tumblr has great art, is imaginative and cool in its creepiness. There is a good story to be told there, but from what you're saying, this fic is nothing like that.

One thousand years after Celestia banished her sister and crowned herself Empress, six mares are caught up in a swirl of intrigue and disaster. Each of them must decide who and what they stand for, because Luna is returning, and she is not Nightmare Moon.
Recommended by roots lord. AU with a less benevolent Celestia (not evil but less good or maybe just less perfect) and a good Luna who return from the moon. The prologue is set in the future and really make me want to know how the heck they arrived at this situation. Some of it is explained in the already posted chapters but the rest is still unknown. Currently, Luna is still one day from returning and most things already went pear shaped for the Apples. Also the title is awesome.

The first adventure segment is still a decent read despite its flaws - unfortunately those flaws are there to stay for the rest of the story persistently if arguably slowly bringing the quality down.

By Raleigh
http://www.fimfiction.net/user/Raleigh
In the aftermath of the Changeling incursion of Canterlot during the marriage of Shining Armour and Princess Mi Amore Cadenza, Equestria gears itself for war against the Changeling menace. Against a foe that can take the shape of anypony, assume their life, and undermine Equestria from within, the Royal Pony Sisters create a new institution to monitor their Royal Guard for any Changeling corruption, cowardice, and incompetence: the Commissariat. As total war rages across the land one hero stands out above the rest; Commissar Blueblood, hero of Equestria. Or at least that's what the propaganda says. The truth, as ever, is far more complex, as the esteemed Blueblood is merely looking for an easy and sedate life. Unfortunately, fate has a habit of throwing him into increasingly dangerous and suicidal missions, which he must survive with a combination of self-preservation, lying, and sheer blind luck, even if doing so only fuels his soaring reputation!
Recommended by nemo1986. This is an MLP/Ciaphas Cain (Warhammer 40,000) crossover, sort of... You see, rather than try and mash these two very different universes together in a clumsy way I have instead transcribed the writing style, character personalities, and a handful elements from the Ciaphas Cain novels into MLP, most obviously transplanting Ciaphas Cain’s personality into Blueblood (don’t worry hopefully it’ll make sense) and the existence of the Commissariat. This will be firmly rooted in MLP, so no power-armoured ponies and no oppressive grim darkness. I suppose this story might have some dark elements in it, since we are talking about total war, but certainly not to the level that 40k is infamous for. At any rate, this means you won’t need an encyclopaedic knowledge of the 40k universe to follow the story, or even any knowledge of 40k at all.

Yet, when that one glass turns into several, it's Twilight who will have to deal with the princesses when they’re drunk off their flanks.
Drop Of Moonshine II A Mug Of Hard Cider
http://www.fimfiction.net/story/40882/A ... Hard-Cider
Applejack receives an order from Princess Celestia, for a batch of cider prepared with a very special recipe that involves honey, yeast, and time. She's even invited to taste the special cider when it's ready. But, when Rainbow Dash finds out about the special tasting, the three mares soon have a little too much to drink. What shenanigans will unfold and how will Twilight keep a lid on things this time?

Eclipse
http://www.fimfiction.net/story/53095/Eclipse
By IncoherentOrange
http://www.fimfiction.net/user/IncoherentOrange
Humanity has grown to control most of the Sol system, and looks to distant stars for further expansion options. When probes discover an uncannily-earthlike planet at a vast distance, the Solar Government takes on a project larger than any before it.
A colony ship, carrying over seven thousand people, the Eclipse is constructed. Thanks to its translight engine, it is capable of making the journey within two decades. The expedition is launched with high hopes, its crew made up of the best and brightest, setting out to prove that the vastness of space was no longer an insurmountable obstacle, that landing on distant worlds full of life was no longer just a pipe dream.
What happens when this colony ship's crew arrives at their destination would forever change humanity's outlook on the rest of the universe, as well as what could be deemed possible. Supernatural beings, energies unexplainable, and most importantly, sentient organisms all populate this mysterious, fertile world. In all of its extensive preparations, is the Eclipse versatile enough to tackle the task assigned to it? Or, more importantly, is its crew?
Recommended by Khaos. Another colony ship arriving in Equestria. So far, it's made up of humans acting reasonably in non douchebagy ways and ponies acting reasonably in non idiotic ways.

Celestia awakens to see an empty world, white sandstone stretching the horizon. She wanders the world as she builds it from her imagination, filling it with life, but as time passes, the world that she created begins to seem like little more than a lucid dream, conjured from the dust.

Exit Through Canterlot

By TheBrianJ
http://www.fimfiction.net/user/TheBrianJ
After the most important night of her career is ruined and its saboteurs not even so much as punished, Octavia's life changes. She begins to pursue a path that has never been seen before in Canterlot, where concertos and rhapsodies give way to controversy and rebellion.
A path where symphonies are composed not with instruments... but with spray paint.
Recommended by permutant. Octavia has been suffering the attitude of Canterlot high class for a long time, but after the most important performance has been ruined and it turns out Celestia not only invited the perpetrators but also thinks it was completely harmless fun, her anger starts to boil over and she starts expressing it through vandalism.

Wagnesday. No, you're not reading that incorrectly. That's what the day has become after Discord made his way into the real world. He turned one week into the length of a full 365-day year, complete with unique names for each day. Each day brought more and more ponies into the real world. After hearing the news that was affecting the whole world, I guess I should've expected that I'd turn into some pony pretty soon, being a brony myself. What I didn't expect was exactly who... or what I'd become.

Faith And Doubt
http://www.fimfiction.net/story/51867/Faith-and-Doubt
By defender2222
http://www.fimfiction.net/user/defender2222
There has always been a little voice in Twilight Sparkle's head, whispering dark musings to her. And until her brother's wedding, she has managed to push those bitter thoughts away and focus on the good. She forgives and forgets and holds onto hope.
But when her friends turn their backs on her and her brother cuts her from his life, Twilight finds herself alone, with only the little voice to comfort her.
And it is through anger and hate that has been repressed for so long that Twilight finds the power to rise up. Harmony and Friendship have only brought her pain and suffering. It is time for her to embrace her dark side. No longer will she worry about what others think. Twilight is going to live her life how SHE chooses: without friends, without family, without love and without harmony. She is going to cut loose, have fun, and screw what others think.
For her friends and family, it will soon become apparent that if they don't find a way to mend the damage they've done to the lavender mare...Twilight Sparkle might be lost to them forever.
Recommended by Richardson & pheonix89. I've been fighting with the readers for this story, pointing out that the villain of the piece, who is the same spirit that corrupted NMM, and who has gone out of his way to attack and partially corrupt Applejack and Cadance is in fact a villain. It's a good story, but the readers are idiots on this. His actions are those of a villainous tempter and he's already made it clear he's not really planning on honoring any deal.
Unrecommended by Wade Garrett. Well, all the ranting and raving about Faith and Doubt a few pages ago made me decide to give it a look. After reading the whole thing...."This is not one of those stories one should set aside. It's one to THROW AWAY, with great force."

When Fluttershy received her certification as a fog specialist, she only wanted a plausible excuse to write off the expenses associated with her ground-based house on her taxes. However, when an accident in Cloudsdale sends a blanket of industrial-grade clouds rolling towards Ponyville, Fluttershy suddenly finds herself in charge of coordinating the response, mostly because she's the only fog specialist in the area. Can our heroine step up to the challenge at hoof, or will she risk facing the wrath of the Equestrian Revenue Service?

By Bed Head
http://www.fimfiction.net/user/Bed%20Head
Inspired by the story image, RainbowDoubleDash's Lunaverse and Trinary's "Rainbooms and Royalty", I give you my take on the alternate universe concept. Namely, a universe where Spike is the pony and Twilight is his dragon assistant.
The thousandth Summer Sun Celebration is approaching. With it will come the return of Nightmare Moon. Celestia has no student to call upon to save Equestria, and is doing all she can to make the last day of peace meaningful for her people.
Meanwhile, Spike "Purple Prose" Flail is a reporter for the Canterlot Sun. He finds himself being shipped down to the boonies with his longtime friend and assistant, Twilight, to cover the biggest festival Equestria has seen in a millennium!
But even with a visit from the princess, there's no way someplace as boring as Ponyville could ever be newsworthy. Right?

By Bad Horse
http://www.fimfiction.net/user/Bad%20Horse
Fluttershy just wants a little pony company. It doesn't have to be conversation. Maybe she'll just sit and sip the water as it melts off the ice cubes from her empty drink, and watch the other ponies talk. That would be nice.
Or maybe something entirely different will happen.
Now on EqD. Notice the sad tag. That means it's sad.
Mentioned by Bad Horse. Hello, Bad Horse here with another shameless self-promotion: Fluttershy's Night Out, in which Fluttershy learns the true value of paralyzing insecurity. It keeps bumping up against the last featured box slot and not quite making it. (Seems some upstart by the unlikely name of "device heretic" just published something that's rather popular.)

Foal Necromancer
http://www.fimfiction.net/story/61802/Foal-Necromancer
By Kytranis
http://www.fimfiction.net/user/Kytranis
When a Necromancer is hurled into the place between places then escapes to another world at the cost of his life it is not the end. Being a Necromancer he returns to life with ease, but is skirting the edges of consciousness, and unable to truly wake as a mysterious figure uses magic to put him on the back of a horse to carry him away into the night.
To make matters worse the phylactery he used to save his own life recreated him as a member of the dominant race with... some errors. His injuries are still present and he's now in a much smaller body with his magic drained to nothingness.
So now he's horribly injured, held captive by an unknown force, in an unfamiliar body, in an unfamiliar world and completely exhausted. He's had worse days. He just can't think of any off the top of his head. So familiar territory then, nothing to worry about.

http://www.fimfiction.net/user/Kiroberos
The story of Moon Mender continues after his dream of an ending ceases. He continues his struggle to belong in a world so far divorced from the only other experience he can remember, but as an outsider of truly alien mindset, will he ever be able to find a place in Equestria? More importantly, will the life he left behind give up on its death grip so easily? The most important thing to remember is that things are rarely as they seem and sometimes, some things are better off forgotten.
This story is a direct sequel to Memory Pending. Without having read that, this story might be a little strange to most, which is frightening considering how strange it is already. It can be read as a standalone story of course, but you won't get the most out of it.

"Is anypony out there? Please, my name is Trixie! I need help! I think... I saw a cockatrice. I can't move, I can't see. Please, somepony, anypony.... Help me."
Laid low by circumstances beyond control, trapped in a cruel and unrelenting prison of flesh made stone, can anypony hold out hope to see the day once more? When their life rests in the hooves of one whom they tried to humiliate and belittle, can they trust in them and make it right? When they can only see through the eyes of another pony, when only one other can hear them, can they stay sane? When the only chance for their freedom is a fool's hope made incarnate, the impossible made improbable, can they beat the odds? Trixie is going to find out.
Pride can lay one low. Stubbornness can leave somepony friendless. Anger and Sorrow can turn others away. And yet, they can give strength. And Hope, in the darkest hours.
If you're afraid of Dark tones, or find them distasteful, or can get stabbed easily in the feels, I suggest reading on only with caution. This is not a happy tale.
Mentioned by Richardson. For I have No Friends, and Must Scream has updated. Oddly lighter-hearted than previous updates at first, before it slams back into psychological dream horror. Really is a good, but dark fic, that needs more love than it gets.

And then Twilight reveals that she's been keeping something from her friends ever since the Royal Wedding. Now everything is out there; harsh words have been spoken and a once strong friendship hangs in the balance.
Recommended by Questiondeca & BadHabits. Friendship is Empathy, the best example of how to deal with the aftermath's of both the Mare Do Well and Wedding episodes I've found. Both are things people have issue with, and this is the best way I've seen that the characters could deal with both.

Hanna, the CEO of Hofvarpnir Studios, just won the contract to write the official My Little Pony MMO. Hanna has built an A.I. Princess Celestia and given her one basic drive: to satisfy everybody's values through friendship and ponies. Princess Celestia will satisfy your values through friendship and ponies, and it will be completely consensual.
Recommended by Mantech1 & Vanathor. So far the story is up to four chapters and it's not that bad despite that last ominous(?) sentence in the summary above so I am tentatively recommending it for now (conditional depending upon how future chapters go). Though I am curious how the author will explain the Ponypads (like how much they cost and whether Hanna is using her personal fortune to subsidize the Ponypads), then again if the Celestia AI is creative then perhaps some money is coming in through patents......

Set in the Optimalverse, a middle-aged woman enamored of 'Equestria Online' confronts what permanent emigration to Equestria - uploading to a virtual existence - really means... but can she even hope to truly understand such a thing - and more importantly, can she trust the artificial intelligence known as 'Celestia'?
Recommended by Listic. Friendship Is Optimal: Caelum Est Conterrens has just been completed.
I won't spend keystrokes on futile praise, as the moments that most impressed me in the original Iceman's Friendship is Optimal seem to be considered trivial around here (hints at hard takeoff singularity are evident from the summary, and the story itself is apparently a regurgiration of lesswrong talking points).
Personally, I find it an unputdownably engaging writing that takes Iceman's idea and runs with it, and does that with the skill and expository splendor I missed not just in Friendship is Optimal, but in Vinge and Egan as well.
Mentioned by BadHabits. Not sure this is the right place to post this, but... Chatoyance has gotten his/her/its claws into the universe set up by "Friendship is Optimal." That is all.

He is approached by a simulacra of Twilight Sparkle, who promptly attempts to convince him to upload himself to Equestria. He balks at first, so Twilight plays to her strengths: studying.
Recommended by Vulpine Fury. An interesting take on the whole FiO sub-universe, where Celest AI sends a Ponybot Twilight Sparkle to try to convince one of the last holdouts to 'emigrate.' Fair warning, there is religious discussion, as the holdout is a member of the Latter Day Saints. Refreshingly, not misanthropic in the least.

An object of unknown origins crash lands in the no-pony's land between Equestria and Gryphon territory. Princess Luna and Twilight Sparkle race to beat the Gryphons to the crash site, but discover more to the crash than they originally thought.
Recommended by Cody Fett. This story isn't the greatest thing since sliced bread. This story could use some touch up in places. This story is called an amateurish effort by its own author. So, why am I recommending this story? Put simply, it's something different.
It's an HiE first contact story where everything that can go wrong does go wrong. Poorly trained soldiers shoot first and ask questions later, political mechanizations leave the nation at a disadvantage, and diplomacy grinds to a halt at every juncture. To top it all off the story ends, not with a bang, but with a whimper.
If any of that sounds interesting to you or you're interested in just reading a different sort of HiE I suggest checking this story out. Otherwise I suggest passing this over.

Twilight Sparkle writes a story about her self-insert OC character who writes stories about her.
Part of Humanverse. Special thanks to Mr. Jack Daniels for writing assistance.
Recommended by Cody Fett. This is . . . Well, it's a bizzare little tale written by a Brony writing about Twilight Sparkle writing about a Brony writing about Twilight Sparkle. Oh, and another bipedal earth human shows up and they praise the secret unicorn humans that totally haven't been mentioned before but everyone knows about. Make sure to fave and give a hoofs-up.

I Found Love: A Princess Cadence And Shining Armour Story

By kuromi
http://www.fimfiction.net/user/kuromi
Princess Cadence is a lonely filly who has been shielded and protected all her life as a princess and member of the dwindling race of Sacred Alicorns. She longs for a friend her age to play with, and as a young teen she is sent to stay in Canterlot where her Aunt Celestia would personally mentor her in developing her magic. There she hopes to finally have the freedom she longs for and find somepony to be her friend. Instead, she is asked to foal sit for one of her aunt's royal adviser's fillies who may just be as lonely and reclusive as she.
This is the story of how Princess Cadence learns that the ability to give love cannot be complete without finding love for yourself, and sometimes it is found when you least expect it.

http://www.fimfiction.net/user/Rokas
Spring, the time of renewal and growth, is upon Equestria, and there is work to be done at Sweet Apple Acres. But while out on his monthly inspection, Big Macintosh runs across a particularly peculiar pony who won't take "no" for an answer.
Unfortunately for him, the day goes downhill from there as the mint-green unicorn just won't get off his back.
Recommended by Cody Fett. I don't usually recommend shipping stories . . . and this technically isn't a shipping story, so I'm good. Lyra acts completely insane and wraps Big Mac up in the chase of a lifetime in this comedy fic written by the author of Falling Stars. Yes, the author most known for writing Princess v. mech company battles turned his attention to mad cap comedy not to long ago. Of course, he also wrote that story where Luna was in the Unreal Tournament, and that story where Rainbow Dash secretly is Ponyville's biggest sci-fi nerd, so I guess it's not that surprising that he branched out.

Recommended by Madfish. Letters from Twilight and Spike to Celestia over about three years, around 40 years after the show.
Unrecommended by Khaos. What really bothers be is that 40 years later, Twilight is still living in Ponyville with Spike as her assistant and still doing the same things with her friends. Nothing changed.
There's no mention of Twilight of her falling in love or getting married. The other 5 apparently don't have children/families either.
And did Applejack ever expand her farm? Rarity become a famous designer? Twilight become the number one authority on magic in Equestria? Rainbow Dash become Wonderbolt?
Who knows? But there's no mention of careers and it seems they are doing exactly the same things as when they were young.

Interesting Times

By Timothy48
http://www.fimfiction.net/user/Timothy48
When a mysterious magical mist transports Equestria into the Human World at the beginning of the 20th Century, everything is turned upside down. Alliances shift, governments are toppled, new technological discoveries revolutionize daily life and the same mysterious force that brought Equestria to Earth is not done with it yet. On top of that can Equestria's ponies learn the long forgotten art of war? Can Equestria survive the most violent century in human history? Or will it be torn apart from both without and within? As the old Chinese curse goes. "We live in interesting times." (Currently undergoing revisions. Pardon our mess.)
Recommended by Richardson. Good fic. A ROB transports Equestria to 1908 just north of Hawaii post S2 finale. Turns out Discord had been Discorded himself, and the jerk changes him back to a pony. With Celestia and Luna hurt, they decided to get around to making a parliament, and he got stuck with the office and has been pretty good. Yes, it is better than you think.
And, they're about to go to war with Japan alongside the US. (At least as of Chapter 7). Mostly because Japan thinks they're weak enough to colonize. But it turns out that Equestria gave up war, but kept the implements just in case (Negotiated peace treaty after a war just after NMM disarmed everybody because it was getting too nasty).

Twilight Sparkle has always admired Princess Celestia. Her fortitude, her wisdom, her eternal grace and love for all her subjects. Twilight has often fantasized about what it would be like to be in Princess Celestia's horseshoes. She never imagined those fantasies would come true.
Recommended by Richardson & r0b0panda. Apparently Twilight got body-swapped into anothe time or place where either Celestia never existed, or she's replaced Celestia. Interesting take on Alicorn-Twilight.

http://www.fimfiction.net/user/Silent%20Bob
Every thousand years, the world where upon Equestria lies is chosen to play host to IGOM, the Interdimensional Gathering of Malevolence, an actually somewhat fun convention of the multiverse's undertakers of dirty deeds. Unfortunately, with Discord frozen in stone and the spirit that was Nightmare Moon nowhere to be found, the 'honor' of being host has now fallen upon the shoulders of a reluctant Queen Chrysalis. The problem? She has never had to host any sort of celebration in her life, nor does she consider herself 'evil'.
Filled with doubts, the Changeling Queen turns to the one being in all the land who may be able to help her. Will the world's most famous party pony be able pull off the odd celebration and show the Queen of Deception that there may be more to life than brooding, or will the vile beings she's forced to be around convince her to be comfortable with her 'bad' side? And just what is the true intention held behind the creation of IGOM?

It has been ten years since the defeat of the Changling Queen, and Equestria is again at peace. Twilight Sparkle and the Elements of Harmony have reached their prime, and have begun to settle down. Love and life abound in Ponyville, especially for Twilight's friends, but she has nopony to call her own.
There is a reason.
A series of events lead to a horrible revelation, and Twilight is thrust deep into a terrifying web of secrets and lies. Her peace is over.

For four long years, Celestia's apprentice Twilight Sparkle, once a model pony and a hero among heroes, has waged a bitter and secret struggle with her onetime mentor. Though she works from the shadows, directing her forces from the Old Capitol in the Everfree Forest, Twilight Sparkle is unable to gain any advantage,
Likewise, Princess Celestia finds her once-faithful student far more cunning and elusive than she had anticipated, and even now searches for a way to bring Twilight Sparkle's rebellion to its knees.
It is a game of greys, of knives in the dark and of poisoned wine, where pawns are moved and traded and exchanged for greater advantage, all the while drawing both sides nearer to the conflict which shall tear Equestria in two.
At the center of this conflict is a new pawn, one who only wished to see the truth for herself. Drawn into a deadly game whose rules she does not understand, Sweetie Belle must learn to survive in a world where all is darkened, and nopony can be completely trusted.
Because when gods play chess, all pieces are expendable.
A nation will crumble, old enemies shall return in the most unexpected ways, and regardless of who is victorious, only one thing can be certain.
Nothing shall ever be the same.

Lost Legacies

By AkibaWhite
http://www.fimfiction.net/user/AkibaWhite
Derpy Hooves loses her job and home to personal failures and finds that her life of passivity and reckless indulgence have left her with nothing but an empty void in her heart. When she cries out for help, she receives two answers—one from a concerned Twilight Sparkle who tries to set her life back on track, and the other from a phantom mare who lashes her spirit to that of Silver Cross, traveling warrior and refugee of a destroyed nation.
The clumsy but well-intentioned optimism of the Elements of Harmony and the unshakable death wish of her new "soulmate" are challenging enough, but Derpy will have to contend with overzealous agents of the crown, romantic entanglements, wielders of impossible magic, an outrageously evil despot, and even the dreaded contents of Spike's Secret Stash before all's said and done. Little does Derpy understand that her pursuit of a way to fill the holes in her heart and mind will only draw her ever closer to the forbidden truths of Equestria's Lost History .
Recommended by sopchoppy. A strong rec for: Lost Legacies (I don't know if it has been recced before, but even if it has it needs to be recced again)- seriously this was one that I passed up a month or two ago when I read the description and it didn't peek my interest at the time. I started reading, and after chapter two I was completely hooked. Well written, fleshed out characters, mystery, adventure. If you have not heard of it, or passed it over like I did - give it a shot, worth your time.

And, in the meantime, she decides to learn about humans and the world they live in; the good, the bad, the beautiful and the ugly.
Recommended by Sean Mulligan & Dalek Ix. In which Twilight arrives, as a human, into the average Joe's house in Canada. Something rather interesting is that Twilight is very much the scientist here, and even writes down reports on what she's learned on humanity. The bloke that's taking care of her feels like an actual person. All in all, I found it rather refreshing.
One note I'd like to add is that it seems to be turning the typical "brony is now a pony in equestria lololololz" plot on it's head, with all that that implies. Twilight is a adapting alarmingly well to life as a human. I hope the author does not fall prey to the monster that is shipping.

Music. Music is the epitome of everything that a person holds dear; everything that makes it worth living in this grim reality. Music is more than love, and life, and death, and it is love, and life, and death, - all at the same time. Music is the last frontier of mind, the last boundary a soul has to cross to break through.
When a person loses their connection to music, they lose the point of their existence, even if they do not realise it at first. The world breaks them down, and they wallow in the deep seas of misery, hopelessly trying to grasp at the straws that had been connecting them to reality.
Can one person regain the music in his soul? With a little help of a true musical talent, all be it from a different realm, he will set out on a trip to recovery. Because the future is always bright. ...Right?

Usually "Human-In-Equestria" stories involve bronies. What if instead the person involved is just outside the target demographic but violently allergic to rainbows and singing equines of a distinctly dazzling hue?
She hadn't wanted to come but she wasn't given a choice. The ponies were garish, the monsters were scary and her options were limited. If she ever wanted to see home again she'd have to solve the mystery behind her kidnapping while making sure she stayed alive long enough to do it...

Meet Pipsqueak.
Pipsqueak, or "Pip" as he prefers to be called, has quite the imagination. There are times when he is a fearsome pirate, scourge of the seas of Equestria. There have also been times when Pipsqueak has fantasized about being a gallant prince, traveling the land, saving fair maidens, slaying wicked beasts, and being hailed as a hero by his peers. Not once did he ever imagine he'd get exactly what he wished for in the form of Princess Luna adopting him, making him an actual prince! Soon enough, Pip learns that being a prince isn't as glamorous as he thought it to be, and that there are more than a few downsides to being a part of the royal family. One in particular downside coming in the form of a nuisance named Blueblood.
On the other side of the coin, Princess Luna must adjust to her newly-found position of motherhood, balancing the task of providing her adopted foal as normal a life as possible for a young prince, while also making sure the nobility and paparazzi keep their hooves out of their business. Fortunately, this mare not only has the entirety of the Royal Guard, including her own Night Guard at her disposal, but her sister and niece also happen to be fiercely protective of the newest member of their family.

Nightmare Or Nyx?
http://www.fimfiction.net/story/53090/nightmare-or-nyx
By Pen Stroke
http://www.fimfiction.net/user/Pen%20Stroke
Side-story to Past Sins - Spike almost lost Twilight to a hangmare's noose, but now Twilight is safe and Nyx is a filly again. Normal life is returning. Still, Spike can't ignore the fact that Nyx just isn't the same as he remembers her. Her temper is more volatile, and, when she gets angry, all he can see is the rage-driven Nightmare Moon of legend.
And thus Spike has to wonder: Is Nyx truly reformed, or is she one bad tantrum away from calling herself Nightmare Moon again?
Recommended by Questiondeca. Pen Stroke has written a new side-story/one-shot sequel to Past Sins, showing Spike's point of view to the events following Nyx's return to childhood.

Nightmare Woon
http://www.fimfiction.net/story/53531/Nightmare-Woon
By Whalesbefreeyo
http://www.fimfiction.net/user/Whalesbefreeyo
Nightmare Moon always had a backup plan if she ever were defeated; she would slowly regenerate herself and regain her power. The problem is she never expected to come back as a defenseless filly, or to return directly in front of the princesses. As punishment for her past crimes, Luna has given her a sentence far worse than being sent to the moon again. Nightmare Moon must move in with Twilight and report to Luna on the magic of friendship. She's not very happy about it.

Night's Favoured Child
http://www.fimfiction.net/story/5523/Ni ... ured-Child
By Municipal Engines
http://www.fimfiction.net/user/Municipal%20Engines
For almost a thousand years, the immortal Nightmare Moon has reigned over Equestria as Empress. To the average pony, Nightmare Moon is an overarching enigma whose rule is absolute and whose wrath is terrible. But to Twilight Sparkle, who as an orphan has never known her parents, the Empress is something else entirely. When the young unicorn is brought under the royal wing as an apprentice, she learns a great deal more about the supposed tyrant than she ever knew. But as Twilight is introduced to life with her new mentor, she is thrust into a world of political intrigue, conspiracies and secrets. Secrets that were never meant to be revealed. As allies and enemies plot against the very peace of the nation, will Twilight fall prey to the perils of her new position? Or will she prosper and find in Nightmare Moon the mother she never had?

By BronyWriter
http://www.fimfiction.net/user/BronyWriter
A human in Equestria story? Good lord, how does it feel to be so creative and original? I mean, there's no way that that sort of thing has been done before, right? Well anyway...where was I? Oh yes, I have always heard about the TV show My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, but good gravy I would never watch the darned thing! What am I, five? *mumbles angrily* However, that didn't stop...something from transporting me into the world of the show so here I am...in Equestria...trying to get home...this is gonna be interesting.
Recommended by r0b0panda. As it says in the title, a human gets sent to Equestria, BUT he's not a brony. He knows of the show, has seen the first 2 episodes, and hates it. An interesting thing to note is: he punched Celestia in the face.

No Pinkie

By LightStriker
http://www.fimfiction.net/user/LightStriker
Following "Too Many Pinkie Pies", what if Twilight made a mistake and chose the wrong Pinkie? Or did she?
Maybe she simply didn't have any choice. And what was that strange book?

By Charcoal Quill
http://www.fimfiction.net/user/Charcoal%20Quill
Twilight Sparkle had been looking forward to a quiet, relaxing day with a friend, and at first it seemed that Fluttershy could provide just that. But when Twilight makes a rather unsettling discovery about the pegasus – and her unusually sanguine appetite – the knowledge proves to be anything but relaxing...
Recommended by Richardson. Yeah. That just happened. I don't know how Twilight missed that before.

Twilight has to help update the woefully out-of-date library system of the Crystal Empire.

Until she finds out who her aunt and uncle are....

On Wings Of Change

By Kobalstromo
http://www.fimfiction.net/user/Kobalstromo
What does it mean to be Normal? According to the dictionary, Normal is conforming to a standard; the usual, typical, or expected. It's almost scary really. That such a simple word can define the lives of so many. Day in and day out we toil in the machinations of society in an effort to maintain the status quo handed down from the generation that preceded us, all in the name of this Normal. What price would you pay for your Normal? Would you give up all your bits? Your home? Your friends? What if I told you that the 'Normal' you ponies cherish so much came at the cost of everything I hold dear?
My name is Twilight Sparkle, and I am not Normal...'

They say that a pony's special talent is neither good nor evil - it just is, and it's what you do with your cutie mark that matters. But when you live in the vegan nation of Equestria, how do you live down a special talent for cooking meat?
Recommended by permutant. Both stories are original and rather well written. Unfortunately, neither is very far along, but both show promise, particularly the former.

Then an anomaly is detected, 0.75 light years from the sun a Wormhole has formed, large enough to swallow a planet and stable enough to stay open for years at a time, in a rush of scientific progress a vessel is built and crewed with the cream of humanity, the best astronauts from around the solar system.
Then it sets out across the stars, a physics defying engine driving the ship towards this gateway to places and times unknown.
A universe away, a purple coated unicorn trains her telescopes to the night sky, and notices a strange object in the sky. A hole in the endless dark between stars, through which another dimension can be seen.

Celestia and Luna were born as unassuming foals in troubled times. But already marked for greatness, the simple earth ponies stand to face a world set against them, full of danger, fear, and sadness. A world they will change forever.
A sweeping epic taking place before Equestria was made, where Celestia and Luna must rise from normal foals to become the Princesses we know them as, beset from all sides by monsters, other ponies, and even the forces that govern nature. Their tale is as tragic as it is triumphant.

Have you ever felt like the Universe was out to get you? Well, pat yourself on the back, because you're absolutely right. The Universe is a huge jerk, and its favorite pastime is frying planets with supernovas the moment so much as an amoeba crawls out of the primordial soup.
Given its track record, what will happen when the Universe stumbles across a certain planet inhabited by magical technicolor ponies? The biggest party ever, if Pinkie Pie has anything to say about it!

Pinkie Pie, Psychologest

By Masterweaver
http://www.fimfiction.net/user/Masterweaver
Pinkie Pie throws excellent parties. This is a fact of life, like Fluttershy being rather demure, or Rarity having a sense of style. But the fact is, Pinkie's parties cost bits, and her job at the bakery isn't supporting her passions anymore. So she dusts off her degree and opens a side business...

Pinkie Pie has an existential crisis while painting her room. This self-parody is dedicated to Professor Piggy, who once told me that I could write a story about Pinkie watching paint dry and weave it into an incredible psychological journey. Let's see if he was right.
Recommended by Khaos. Surprisingly, it's rather good, it's structured like a story with a beginning, a middle and an end, and isn't nonsensical rambling.

Polarity: A Tale Of Two Sisters
http://www.fimfiction.net/story/66494/p ... wo-sisters
By Shinzakura
http://www.fimfiction.net/user/Shinzakura
Part of the All-American Girl continuity.
---------
For Derpy Hooves, life is never easy. Even as an accomplished scientist and scholar, she still has to contend with a twin sister that hates her, living alone in a tiny town and working a dead-end job, and, of course, her eyes, which causes her to be clumsier in public than she normally is. For her, life sucks.
But now, Derpy has to face a decision that could rock the very foundations of her family, her life and her future. And if that wasn't enough, one of the neighborhood foals, Sparkler, may need her help desperately. And to top it all off, a secret project of hers might just change the world of ponydom forever.
She's got a lot on her hooves. Maybe too much.
Recommended by Cody Fett. Derpy's a genius, a stand-up member of the community, and a damn fine inventor with a few sales problems who perseveres despite the challenges stacked against her by her looks. Her simple life is thrown into chaos though after a night of indiscretion with her twin sister's husband and a baby sitting job with a filly named Sparkler. Will Derpy have the strength to work through her problems or will the soap opera her life has become tear her to adorable pieces?

Predictions And Prophecies
http://www.fimfiction.net/story/75850/p ... prophecies
By WaferTin
http://www.fimfiction.net/user/WaferThin
Is the future set in stone?
It’s something Twilight Sparkle never really thought about before. Dealing with the future only ever caused her problems; she'd much rather focus on the present.
But what happens when her future is forced upon her? What happens when she is told she must do something she could never—would never—do?
How far would you go to escape your fate? Would you change your very self to match your destiny, or would you fight to change the future?
A life is at risk; Twilight's mind is at stake—And a prophecy must be fulfilled...
Recommended by Jorlem. I'd like to rec the story Predictions and Prophecies. The plot kicks off with somepony slipping Twilight a book of prophecies, the last one being rather horrifying. Twilight, understandably, starts panicking. It is only on its fourth chapter, so I don't know quite know it will go, but I think what is up so far is pretty good.

Prismatic Shift

By Carpetbagger
http://www.fimfiction.net/user/Carpetbagger
Rainbow Dash unleashes a new stunt she created for the latest Wonderbolts tryout session. Feeling confused about her chances at becoming a professional stunt flyer she returns to Ponyville and await the impending news. But things aren't what she exactly remembers.
Recommended by ThePulse. In all seriousness, Rainbow performs an Orbital Drop Double Rainboom in an attempt to make the Wonderbolts tryouts. Spitfire has to turn her down though, because unlike RD, Spitz knows that Rainbow is on a completely different level than the lot of them, and joining the Wonderbolts would hold her back. RD doesn't know this is the reason, however, so she returns home battered, exhausted, and she went into space.
Things take an odd turn however, when Rainbow starts having dizzy spells and blacking out and such. This would be understandable considering her orbital rainboom stunt, but the problem here is that things start...changing around Rainbow Dash, and while she notices these things, everyone around her thinks that the changes are th e way thi ngs have al wa y s b e e n

While the princesses of Equestria do a very good job keeping their land a peaceful and bright place, this does not mean that darker and more insidious forces do not exist.
In order to combat these powers, one must understand them, and Celestia has ensured that there is always at least one living pony in Canterlot who does. For the past several years that pony has been Pale Bones, aided by his assistant Scarlet Shade. They spend most of their time in a hidden archive beneath Canterlot's library, researching the dark underbelly of Equestria and the dangerous abilities its denizens wield.

But, when her secret does come out, their reactions might surprise her.

Starlight Over Detrot: A Noir Tale
http://www.fimfiction.net/story/34706/s ... -noir-tale
By CEOKasen and Chessie
http://www.fimfiction.net/user/CEOKasen%20and%20Chessie
Monster attacks. Crime. Illegal hallucinogens made from electric fruit.
They say things didn't use to be like this. They say things were different, before Luna came back 60 years ago, but Detective Hard "Hardy" Boiled of the Detrot Police Department has never known any world other than that demarcated by the seedy streets of his beloved decaying metropolis; a world in which the coroners sing and dance, surveillance bugs have personality disorders, and the Chief of Police is a scarier entity than most of the eldritch things the city attracts.
The grey unicorn who turned up dead outside the posh High Step Hotel seemed like just another case, but her missing horn is the pointy tip of a very large and nasty iceberg. It's up to Hardy and his friends - a rejected monster hunter, a psychic cab driver, and an underground antiques heir - to find out what’s going on in an investigation that promises to turn Detrot upside-down and inside-out.
Especially if Hardy has anything to say about it.

Stone And Secrets
http://www.fimfiction.net/story/52498/Stone-and-Secrets
By NinjaKraken
http://www.fimfiction.net/user/NinjaKraken
The truth often entails far more than we realize.
It seems Celestia has been hiding something for a very long time. As her Faithful Student, Twilight feels it her duty to investigate, but the tapestry she unravels is more complicated than she realizes, and sometimes the past does not want to be part of the present.
In the past, a strange pony by the name of Shining Smiles has taken a shine to Celestia, and while there is no denying that the two make one another happy, there is also no denying that there can be no simple destination for their friendship to go to.
In the present, Twilight soon finds herself looking to Chaos magic and Discord himself for answers, but it soon becomes clear that this quest to help Celestia will by no means be simple.
Presented along two timelines, going back and forth between Celestia many, many years ago and Twilight during the "current" time. Scenes will be in chronological order within their timelines, with a few exceptions.
Mentioned by Ninja Kraken. Anyone care to give my story a shot? It's got a pretty good premise, and I promise the writing won't let you down.

What he finds there, on an island brimming with natural magic, may change him, and the world of magic, for years to come.

Stubborn As Ponies

By Esle Ynopemos
http://www.fimfiction.net/user/Esle%20Ynopemos
A pony is called stubborn when they refuse to change their mind no matter the persuasion against them. A pony is called persistent in hindsight when their refusal turns out to be a wise decision. "Persistence" is nothing more than what they call stubbornness when it turns out to have been for the best all along.
Pinkie Pie and Applejack may or may not be persistent, but they are most definitely stubborn.

Recommended by Richardson. Twilight's been gone for a year, kidnapped and presumed dead at the hooves of the remaining whips of the Nightmare. Well, at least until she turns up, pregnant and unable to remember anything after the wedding. Looks like it's about to wrap up, short and bittersweet but about to get much better for Twilight, and her child who was to be the Nightmare's vessel. The author didn't drag it out into some massive psycological thriller in the middle of Twilight's mind, or any of the other standard fare, but kept it more along the lines of the show, even if still somewhat darker.

The gryphons were not always monsters. That came later.
In the earliest days, they were our friends. They flew alongside pegasi. They shared the land with earth ponies. They studied beside unicorns. There was no fear between us. That came later too.
Time drew our people apart, but it was not time that made them monsters. They made that choice themselves; they chose their fate. And it was the greatest gryphon who sealed it.
He was born, many years ago, on a mountain far to the north...

But at what cost?

Unfortunately she gets the book on the same day that Twilight promised Rainbow Dash that she would help her train for the Wonderbolt tryouts next week. To make matters worse, Shining Armor drops in unexpectedly to pay his little sis a visit following the honeymoon. Could juggling the responsibilities to her friend and her brother possibly get any trickier for Twilight?
Of course it can. And when it does, it will lead Twilight Sparkle, Shining Armor, and Rainbow Dash into the very heart of the Kingdom of Draconia to unravel one of the greatest mysteries of old. What happened to the dragon Iris?

Seems to be a story of Dash with a dragon soul, and how her original incarnation fell in love with Twilight, and more recent consequences of the two of them wielding EoH and other issues.

And who the heck decided it would be a good idea to throw in talking, pastel, ponies!?
Dark tag added for later chapters.
Light horror/gore
Recommended by Cody Fett. Hey, remember when I brought up religious HiE stories? Turns out that someone actually did that, and it ain't half bad.
Pros: The only chapter so far doesn't portray Christians as the scum of the Earth, and the post-apocalyptic priest main character isn't holding an easy button marked "Evangelism."
Cons: The author really needs a beta reader.

The Nightmare Before Nightmare Night

By Silent Bob
http://www.fimfiction.net/user/Silent%20Bob
On a dark day, one may wonder: just what horrors lie beyond the veil of the heavens? What ghastly demons exist that could only spawn in a pony's dreams? What terror!? What blight in the face of all that is good!? What- wait, it's the Mane Six?
What sort of twisted reality contains a lycan Applejack, a vampiric Fluttershy, a ghostly Rarity, and a lich queen Twilight Sparkle, you may ask? Why, it's just the Nightmare Realm, existing one and a half dimensions below and above the normal Equestria, and they are sick and tired of Nightmare Night not living up to its name in the 'real' world.
However, are these nightmares truly nightmares, or do they just like a good scare? Why, it depends on who you're talking to! So sit tight, give way to fright, for coming soon is Nightmare Night!
Recommended by Passerby. Pretty sure this hasn't been rec'ed yet, but here is a ripoff of Nightmare before Christmas...pretty fun I think, but it is very simplistic. >.>

The Perfect Little Village Of Ponyville

By McPoodle
http://www.fimfiction.net/user/McPoodle
Vinyl Scratch wakes up to find herself the personal student of Princess Celestia, sent to the obscure village of Ponyville to oversee preparations for the millennial Summer Sun Celebration.
Vinyl can only imagine two possible explanations for what has happened: she has tumbled into an alternate universe where she's Twilight Sparkle, or, after everypony telling her she'd do it eventually, she's finally gone and lost her mind.
Unrecommended by Erik Tiber. In case anyone has recced The Perfect Little Village of Ponyville, I'm reccing that you not read it. It started out great, but it just seemed to go downhill around chapter 4. Now it just seems like a confusing trainwreck of horrid pacing and vague descriptions. Oh, and it has a major plot tumor, too.

September 17th, 1862 became the single bloodiest day in American history when a battle was fought along the Antietam Creek near Sharpsburg, Maryland.
Yesterday, Fluttershy hummed happily as she watered her garden.
The two events are not unrelated.
Recommended by Darth Invictus & Cody Fett. The Youth In The Garden, in the Battle of Antietam a soldier, a young man whose really still a boy gets wounded and somehow he ends up in Fluttershy's garden, sounds daft right? Wrong
It is incredible, it is one of the most moving stories I've ever read, it blends the dark, bloody atmosphere of the civil war with the bright happy world of Equestria. It's not a sadfic, it doesn't set out to make you cry, it moves you and it shows the best side of Fluttershy, the side that shows why she's the Element of Kindness and what she does when faced with someone alone, a long way from home and scared out of his mind. The writer did a lot of research and the boys name was taken from a muster roll of soldiers missing in action after the battle and provides a lot of photos and pictures so you don't get lost in the Civil War parts
I'd recommend it to everyone, even if you don't like sad stories, you'll love this one

What do you do, after you've made the impossible, possible?
With the Wonderbolt tryouts looming just around the corner and rumors of Spitfire being able to perform the Sonic Rainboom at will, Dash is at wits end. She needs something greater, awesomer, more epic than just a mere Rainboom. After all, to perform that trick a second time would label her a one trick pony and if Spitfire could pull it off, then what was the point?
So what trick could possible be greater than a Sonic Rainboom?

Faced with an indifferent police force, and Agent Bentgrass's infuriating methods, Twilight must put the pieces together and catch the killer. But as blood continues to spill and questions pile up, one thing is terrifyingly clear: in the dark of the Everfree, much more is at play than mere murder.

http://www.fimfiction.net/user/PhibbyRizo
After traveling Equestria and finding no place she belongs Trixie returns to the one place that felt different; Ponyville. She has chosen to swallow a little (just a little) bit of her pride in order to ask the only pony to ever have impressed her for help. She wants Twilight Sparkle to become her teacher in magic...and in the ways of friendship. She hopes to improve herself, but she keeps having these second thoughts...
Recommended by Richardson. In which Trixie is indeed a terrifyingly good illusionist, enough that between her illusions and extreme telekinesis she can duplicate the look/results of most spells.
But, she's a broken mare for it. Mocked for the fact that every time somepony found out the truth they shunned her and left her to rot, and she's mostly given up on herself. At least until she came back to Ponyville to try and figure out what she's been doing wrong all these years, and to try and maybe... make a friend at last.
Pretty good, especially since something seems to keep trying to reenforce her self-doubt and has been unleashing things that set her back every time. And, because there are hints that something more than that is going on, that she's being held back from her full potential.
Worth at least tentatively watching.

Chrysalis has been defeated, now Shining Armor and Cadance can be wed. Or can they?
...Well, no. It seems the bride objects to it. Is this Cadance a changeling too? No, that would make far too much sense...
Recommended by schpeelah. Turns out, Chrusalis has replaced Cadance before their first date with Shining Armor, and has fallen in genuine love with him. Real Cadance doesn't even swing that way, she's more interested in Twilight. Awkwardness ensues.

Wedding Of Deception

By Shadowed Rainbow
http://www.fimfiction.net/user/Shadowed%20Rainbow
Queen Chrysalis and King Metamorphosis are two ruling changelings from two separate Hives, each one having a certain enmity toward one another due to events in their past. When they separately learn of the wedding between Princess Cadance and Shining Armor, they plan to ruin it by taking the places of the ponies to be wed. However, they are completely unaware of each other's involvement or intent.
With both putting on a deceptive act toward one another, what happens when the deceivers are unknowingly deceived themselves? And can Shining and Cadance, each believing they must save one another from a fake, be reunited, or will they fall prey to the entrapment of the changelings?
An alternate storyline to A Canterlot Wedding.
Recommended by blake0831. A quick summary: A few days before the wedding, Princess Cadence has been replaced by Chrysalis. Unfortunately, so was Shining Armor. By a changeling king from a different faction altogether. They don't know about about each other.

To Twilight Sparkle and Princess Celestia, it is a simple surprise visit to Canterlot. To the ponies of the Equestrian Civil Service, it is twenty-four hours of chaos, politics, weaponized dessert, politics, underhooved manipulation of media, politics, and things batrachian and tentacular. Who said bureaucracy isn't exciting?
Recommended by blake0831 & smthng. Basically, the Equestrian Civil Service runs a lot of things in the background. So when Twilight Sparkle wanted to drop by for a chit-chat with her teacher, they have to arrange the security, distract the press, prepare Twilight's quarters, kick out the inter-dimensional tentacle monster currently squatting in said quarters...

By NejinOniwa
http://www.fimfiction.net/user/NejinOniwa
Princess Luna has nightmares. Terrible nightmares. More importantly, nightmares that come every single night and day and infallibly disrupts her sleep. Turned to an intake of sugar and caffeine that Pinkie Pie would've been proud of just to stay awake, she consults Celestia for a solution to her sleep problems - who presents her with an idea long abandoned as useless fringe pseudoscience by any respectable researchers: Astral projection.
But Celestia's solution, while close to the mark, doesn't quite do its job. Or, at least, doesn't manage to ONLY do its job. For Luna isn't the only one having nightmares...
Meanwhile, on Earth, the 17th century has recently gotten itself a fairly abrupt makeover, in the form of the misplaced 20th century West Virginian town of Grantville landing smack in the middle of Germany - along with hillbillies, admirals and a LOT of shotguns. Now, 3 years later, these elements have consolidated themselves with the local powerhouses in an alliance with Gustavus Adolphus Vasa, king of Sweden - who, with his up-time friends, have managed to grab a quite sizable chunk of land in Germany and name it the United States of Europe, subdue Denmark-Norway into a reestablished Kalmar Union, introduce airplanes, ironclads, and rate of fire to the battlefield; and piss off just about everyone else on the continent in the process. Needless to say, the 30 Years War just got a LOT more complicated.
When these elements are forced together by an ancient breed of chaos, it should come as no surprise to anyone that the results aren't far from a nightmare.
Meanwhile, Equestria has to deal with the absence of both their diarchs, a lost (human) princess, an entirely different breed of chaos; and of course, the inevitable fact that every single villain with a score to settle is going to come back for a second round.
Some of which not even the Norns can save them from...

What most don't know is that her past is much darker: She was once a commander of legions, a warrior and scientist of unmatched skill. Thousands of monsters and abominations fell to her forces, slain in the name of an old leader, one entombed within his own throne. Free of her old form, free of the powers of Chaos, she was cast into a new realm, in a new form, with a new lease on life.

Princess Celestia is an ageless, immortal being. Almost entirely unique except for her sister Luna, and she was gone for a thousand years. One would assume that no other pony in the entire world could possibly be able to truly relate. One would be wrong. There is one other. He's no all-powerful alicorn. His greatest power is his intelligence. He comes and goes at will, but always seems to be there during her worst moment. Sometimes he has a different face. Once he was a unicorn. And at times, it seems she meets him out of order. But he's a fantastic friend. Simply fantastic.

Sometimes, a simple action can change everything. One spell, one word, one idea, and everything goes from just perfect to hell in a handbasket. In one moment, everything can change. For Queen Chrysalis, this became truest when her victory over Equestria crumbled before her very eyes, the very ponies she controlled defeating her entire Swarm with a single act. It was then, that she deviated from the status quo that was known throughout so many instances of the Equestria most know. That a single spell would take both herself and a small number of her Changelings away from the land of Love and Tolerance, and into one scorched by Atomic Fire.
Meanwhile, halfway across all of that ever was or would be, Knight James LeBlanc Jr. aka The Lone Wanderer, had just taken out one of the largest collections of Super Mutants to leave Vault 87. It'd been a few months since he ordered Bradley-Hurcules to destroy Adams AFB. With the Enclave and the Super Mutants now scattered across the Capital Wasteland, things finally seem to be going well for the Brotherhood of Steel, as well as its newest Knight. Finally, he could kick back, relax, and not have to worry about crazy shit falling out of the sky and... are those black and blue specks flying away from Ground Zero?

What he does not foresee is that Equestria, like its populace, has changed vastly since his previous visit, and as a result he is quite unprepared for what lies ahead. Can the old wizard endure the trials that this new journey will bring to him? Surely, but only if he makes a few more friends along the way.
Six of them, to be exact.

And most importantly, did anything come through?

It has plotting Eldritch Enderthings, Awesome Royal Guard, confused Creepers creeping about the Royal Gardens, Cadence and Shiny getting intimate (you can skip that part if its not your cuppa, it's in Chapter 10 and right before that green kamikaze thing makes its appearance), and Steve? being thoroughly terrified by the Everyfree monsters before beating the crap outta them.
Also, Twilight has discovered, much to her dismay, that your regular Minecraft iron sword defies reality and explanation.

Dearest Billy,
It is with a heavy hand that I must relay: He is dead, and passed away among his bees only some hours ago. I, too, am not long of this earth, thus it falls to you to publish my final wish. The attached parcel is my tin box--you have ferried it hither and thither before--and it is where notes from all our adventures, spanning two centuries, as many wars and three monarchs had been safely kept. The remaining bundles within, however, we agreed some time ago to never publish, lest our reputations be shredded. However, with his passing heavy on my mind, I cannot forget such cases, so singular and impressive that they prove, without a doubt, that Sherlock Holmes was the greatest detective London, Britannia, and Worlds beyond our farthest imaginations could ever have known.These cases will confuse you--perhaps even tarnish your memories of us--but mark my words: they are as true and real as the paper upon which you read this letter.

All of Team Seven (minus Kakashi) is looping together in this story. Each chapter is a single loop, and the loops are not in chronological order. Also, I am not sure that the author has an endpoint in mind, and some fanon cliches pop in at times. Even so, I haven't discovered any problems on the level of those in Time Braid or CED. That said, the first chapter is extremely jarring, as the story begins with one of Team Seven's later loops. Subsequent chapters are earlier in the loops, so Team Seven seems far more in character.

Super-Sakura story, giving her a tragic past and special abilities of her very own. Generally competently written, and has some original plot and missions going on alongside the canon-following. On the down side... well, there's some deeply stupid stuff in there, like Sakura's family bouncing between Iwa and Konoha like it's no big deal, or the truly mind-boggling "young Sakura in Iwa becomes Gaara's pen pal" stuff. And to some extent, Sakura's super-ness comes at the expense of the rest of the cast.

Sasuke is crueler to Sakura on the day of the team introductions, causing her to re-evaluate her crush and priorities. Summary indicates that the story will eventually be a Naruto/Sakura pairing, though it isn't jumping into that and thus far is more of Sakura-centered Team Seven story. Has Mitarashi Anko training Sakura, which is almost always worth a couple of bonus points to me. On the down side, it does manage to actually overstate how sucky Sakura is immediately upon academy graduation. Also, "currently in Wave Arc" warning.

All Tsunade gets is a tree, and a child she never prays for but the heavens grant on one auspicious gambling night.

A major anti-fan of ship-fics in general. I make my sole exception for this one. Read it.
It's not extremely well written. Nor is it serious. Nor is it (insert any other number of positive qualities). It's fanon. It's exaggerated. It's silly.
However it accomplished one thing that the vast majority of fics do not. It held my attention from start to finish, without clicking the x. I found it inexplicably highly entertaining. Don't go into it as though it's a Naruto fic. Go into it like it's an over the top romantic comedy. You won't be disappointed.
Unrecommended by Sayle.
Unrec. Initially interesting, then goes full retard later. Shikamaru toying with Temari in the chunin exams to get an apology from her on Tenten's behalf? Stupid Gai/Lee exaggeration? Failure to grasp characterisation at anything but the most basic level?

Blood Sings by Fireun Feather is fantastic, although it involves a bit more AU than simply "Minato lives." For the Minato lives part, Kushina is not the Kyuubi jinchuuriki and the circumstances of Naruto's birth are completely different, such that neither mother nor son are in the village during the attack. Sarutobi performs Shiki Fuujin and Sasuke becomes the host. As for the AU aspects of Kushina and Naruto, I'd rather not get too spoilery, but let's just say that despite their lack of jinchuuriki status, they are still decidedly...abnormal...in their own way. Unfortunately it's giving off heavy abandoned vibes now, not having been updated in a year and a half.

Reccing this for: tight plotting and maybe pacing, unusually good prose, especially for action fics, believable character growths, and spoiler: the big problem being solved entirely by characters who are not Naruto.[/spoiler]. Oh, and my favourite Tsunade-Sakura interaction, however rare it is in fandom. The cons: it's old and therefore not canon-compliant, I didn't exactly read it for the plot twist - it's okay, nothing spectacular but nothing terrible either, there is a lot of shipping including one pair that is suddenly married after a time-skip. But I'd urge you to roll on with it as the interactions are not that of love sick teenagers, but mature individuals.

Essentially, since she does not have any notable clan techniques or a blood line limit (unlike her classmates), Sakura is shipped off to Iwagakure, and placed far from the main village (probably for security reasons) under the supervision of the recently promoted jonin Deidara.

Essentially, this story has Hinata on Team Seven, while Sakura is on Team Eight (hardly an original premise).

Well written and engaging, it's worth a read.

Sakura's team is apparently so super black ops that Naruto doesnt know who they report to.
Also, since Sakura couldn't wake Kakashi up from some random Coma, she swore to 'Never heal anyone until she wakes Kakashi up.'
Add onto that the team names which are 'Hellhound' And 'Fallen Night' Which the author has put in Japanese and then translated in brackets for us laymen English readers, and I can't even get past chapter 2.
The entire gist of the fic seems to be that we're supposed to see how badass and awesome Sakura and her team are, and how cool and mysterious and... well you get the picture.
I didn't manage to enjoy it.

It's a fun little alt-uish Crack Fic. Not super duper crack, just doesn't take itself hugely seriously. The biggest difference is that the four jounin sensei decided to all specialize their genin teams from the start, so they all ended up taking on a different mix of students. One bit I liked is he mixed up all the teams, instead of just swapping two characters and leaving everything else alone.

The story is essentially a deep divergence from Canon during the events leading up to the finals in the Chuunin exams. Naruto was annoyed with Kakashi going off to train Sasuke on his own so he moped about when he came across someone training. This person turns out to be Mei Terumi; she pretends to not know much of him and acts that she isn't bothered by his association with pranks and misbehaviour to get his trust. He is initially impressed by her skills on the water and asks her to train him. She does so, but throughout she makes purposeful decisions to make him more and more emotionally reliant on her and on making him seek her acknowledgement. She ironically points out that people would prey upon someone like him at his weakest while she attempts to do the very same thing.

Some folks don't like that sort of thing but hey, if nothing else, skip to chapters 6 and 7 to see some of the finest fight scenes in Naruto ficdom (Neji vs the Ame-nin in 6 and Konohamaru vs Oboro in 7 are especially notable) and Chouji getting to be a legit badass, a real rarity alongside "People Lie."

And Start Your Very Own Secret Ninja Organization. Three months into Naruto's training trip Jiraiya must leave him behind to go to check on a situation in Iwa, leaving Naruto to his own devices. Naruto thinks everything he did makes perfect sense, Kiri thinks he is a cult leader and Tsunade thinks she doesn't get paid enough to deal with this. 100 drabbles format.

Recommended by Arkhe.
Basically it's about Naruto being left to his own devices during the training trip for two months, and in entirely Naruto fashion, he unintentionally starts a revolution like he did in Wave. Also, despite that how the fic's done in drabble format, each portion is of a satisfyingly thorough length, and written chronologically.
Word of warning: This person could use a beta; you'll be occasionally jarred by a 'the' that should've been a 'then', as well as a few other common mistakes. The writing quality overall however, is still quite good and the mistakes are easily ignored.
Sparrowette also includes a few OCs and follows anime-canon, though whoever's included is pretty well fleshed-out and doesn't take the spotlight from Naruto himself.

A couple maps of the Naruto world, made for my fanfiction Worth Dying For.
Basically, I couldn't find any really good, up-to-date maps of the Elemental Nations, so I wound up compiling all the ones I could find and making my own. Most of the countries and hidden villages are all from canon, though some (ie everything on the eastern continent except for Marsh and Demon Country) were placed at random. All the names are from canon though, minus Keishi. Same thing for village and capital locations - what I could find from canon are in their place, the rest were placed at random. None of the names of bodies of water are canon, and I'm far from being able to speak Japanese so meaning-wise they might be a bit off.
If anyone notices any countries or location that are wrong, please tell me so that I can fix it!
Also, the scale is "accurate", based off the idea that a long caravan can cover around 20 miles a day (based on estimates from old covered wagons + terrain type + all animals being pretty sturdy in the shinobi world) and that it took around 4 day for that caravan to go from Leaf to Keishi, making that distance about 80 miles.

I just found an absolute gutbuster of a fic - it's called Intimate Relations - Uchiha Naruto has finally managed to make contact with his only remaining relative, and finds the pranking potential in having a very possessive and protective cousin too delicious to pass up. So he sets about convincing the whole village that the pair of them are gay lovers - while telling not a single untruth. This is *not* a slashfic - any actual shenanigans are going on solely in the minds of the uninformed observers, who tend to jump to...interesting conclusions... :0

The title is supposed to translate as "Flash Tempest of Konoha", though your guess is probably better than mine whether it really does. Not that it really matters. The story itself is a Female!Naruto dealie - Naruto is still called Naruto; Hinata became her best friend rather than crushing on him, infusing her with a great big dose of spine (and how!), and the two of them conspired to get put on the same team, together with Sasuke (Hinata by grabbing the top Kunoichi spot, and Naruto by deliberately aiming for the jumbo slot...)
Reasons to read this fic? First of all, Hinata is *awesome*. She's a schemer - Naruto still does the tactics, but Hinata is definitely the team strategist, and her capacity for long-range plans scares even Kakashi. Second, girl!Naruto is still *Naruto* - she's still loud, obnoxious, wears orange, and frankly not the sharpest kunai in the pouch.

Oh and the "dark themes" there aren't anything kinky like S&M and stuff--it's actually because of grim situations like coping with death, alienation, etc.

Recommended by PKiller.
Despite the red-flag title, it's not too bad. It's comprehensible, goes in directions I haven't seen played out before, and handles character development more believably than canon. It manages to make the whole 'chain of hatred' dynamic that pretty much falls flat in canon feel somehow more significant, imbuing it with a bit more depth and emotional punch.
It has flaws, and the action tends to drag a bit in some small places. Some of the characterization wobbles at points. It's rather more serious than canon, and tries to probe a bit deeper into the motives and emotions behind flawed people and the need for a conscious choice, rather than an idealized hero incapable of truly tasting the need for recompense. Yet at the same time it manages to dodge the pitfalls most similar stories drop into.
Though serious, it avoids becoming grim, and completely dodges the usual idiotic moral high ground that hack authors try to justify their characters shadier decisions with, despite their actions. Don't expect an "It's okay because of yadda-yadda". It's more of the flavor of "This is human emotional response, but it's a hollow catharsis, with no innocence for any involved." I rather enjoyed the rare balance between the understandable and justifiable motivations in contrast to their consequences and regrets.
That being said, I'll give it a solid 7 out of 10. Better than a fair bit of the dross.

You have a large charming forehead makes me want to kiss it," Sakura had long to hear those words and finally did from her crush Sasuke Uchiha. However the fairy tale was exposed as false and she learns that it was in fact Naruto who told her those words
Naruto - Rated: M - English - Chapters: 13 - Words: 134,179 - Reviews: 532 - Updated: 2-20-12 - Published: 9-5-10 - Naruto U. & Sakura H.
Mentioned by Wavelet.
Essentially, this story diverges in the scene where Naruto henges into Sasuke. In this story, rather than Sakura never finding out about it, as Naruto runs off with a stomach ache, Naruto manages to kiss Sakura on the forehead just before his henge breaks and Sakura realizes that she just got kissed by Naruto. Thus, if anything, Team Seven gets off to a rockier start than in canon, as Sakura is not happy. The story gets complicated, as it's pretty long, but, as Sakura's focusing more on Naruto (at least initially because she is angry at him), she starts to discover various things about him and slowly piece together Naruto's past (mostly by accident). Eventually, Naruto and Sakura become friends, and then get involved romantically.
As I said, while strong in many respects, this story has a few significant weak points. Firstly, Naruto is portrayed so sympathetically that he sometimes seems on the verge of being out of character. By contrast, Sasuke is not portrayed very sympathetically at all, although I can't point to any specific scene I would call character bashing. It's more like he is just a little bit more of a jerk than he was in the original series all throughout the story. The romance is sometimes overdone, and the author also feels the need to tag on hints of an awkward romance between Jiraiya and Tsunade near the end of the story. Even so, I would say it's worth a pseudo-rec, if maybe not a full rec.

At the same time, I would only consider it the second best portrayal of Shikamaru (or maybe tied for the best). My vote for number one portrayal of Shikamaru would go to New Blood, by JFalcon, which is an incredible next generation story, featuring Shikamaru as a jonin sensei.

Roughly put, Itachi decides to stay in Konoha, and everyone blames the Uchiha massacre on missing ninja. Unfortunately, Sasuke discovers the truth in a way very similar to how Naruto discovers the truth about the Kyuubi, causing him to feel embittered towards his brother, Konoha and many other things (just like in canon). Eventually, he ends up on Team Seven, Orochimaru appears, etc.. However, Sasuke is not quite the person he was in canon, and Itachi is still around as well. Honestly, it's been a while since I read this story, so I can't remember many of the specifics well, but it is the closest to what you're looking for I can think of off hand.

Oracle is a good fic in which Neji is blinded during a mission and following the traditions of his clan is expected to commit suicide, which unfortunate implications for Hinata.
As can be expected from the topic at hand, it is not an epic length story but a character piece. Fortunately, its length isn't too great (28,000 words) and the story doesn't fall into angstfest territory. It is also well written.
Honestly I was a bit surprised about this not having been recommended before, despite the story being several years old.

It’s another beautiful day in this, the best of all possible worlds. The sun is shining, the sky is blue, somewhere there’s a war on (the Third Secret War, to be precise), and you have work to do.
You are Orochimaru, most skillful of the legendary three Sannin. Loyal(ish) ninja of Konoha, greatest of the Hidden Ninja Villages. Now that the White Fang died the previous year, you may well be the strongest the Leaf has, barring your old teacher. Your knowledge extends to over 700 jutsu, with hundreds of A- and dozens of S-rank missions metaphorically under your sash.
You are thirty four years old this year. Quite venerable, as ninja ages go. Or old, as Jiraiya’s brat prefers to say. It’s quite like watching Jiraiya in miniature, that one, which you try to do as little as possible. Not at all like your disciple, of course. Anko-chan has the correct attitude, eager to learn and properly deferential. You believe she is still getting to know the impressively fierce snakes of training ground 44. And training her survival skills, of course- being left alone at the age of 8 in the area colloquially called the Forest of Death is good for that.
Now, what to do with your day?
Mentioned by Ct613hulu.
It's basically a quest about the adventures of a Orochimaru during the middle days of his career when he is still loyal to Konoha and firends with Jiraya and Tsunade. It has some very entertaining interactions with Jiraya and Anko. Also gives a very intriguing look into the mindset of Orochimaru. It does a good job of portraying him as a ambitious and amoral individual without making him into a complete monster absent of any redeeming quaities. The author is very talented and it has thus far been updating pretty rapidly.

Ripples is a fairly decent Sakura centric piece, if you don't mind the Sasuke pairing. Sakura gets captured by a Sound slave raid while in disguise and is unknowingly assigned to Sasuke as a servant. Iffy premise, but it gets better.

A rather good stor (actually, it's my favorite) about a world where the law about Naruto was never created. Does partially fall into the angry mob cliche (it's five people over two years and only two of them is after him because of the Kyuubi), but it's countered by a nice and competent Sarutobi. Does delve into Super-Naruto in the later chapters, but I think it's done well with good characterizations (with subtle but important differences brought about by the changes).
Information is wrong in some places (specifically the backstory on the Tailed Beasts) due to age of the story, but it's well written and thought out, and I like it.
Warning: Lemons, drugs, self-harm, violent death, excessively aggressive flirting, and hints of angst.

Second Chance starts with Naruto ending up in back because of a ROB, butterflies things enough that Madara never actually pulls off the Kyuubi attack (enough forewarning or something, plus due to Butterflies Naruto was on hand to help Minato take on Madara, so he never got a chance to screw with Kushina or the like, I don't remember) and things generally flutter along out of control.
Main problem is that the author pulled one of those 'i am leaving fanfiction forever because it is weighing on my spiritual conscience and ruining my life' sorta things, so I think he just did a one chapter 'and then leaf won and the bad guys all died hurray the end' for Consequences and Second Chance just got left hanging.

Shinigan has updated. It's surprisingly good on it's own merit. Even without the change in plot. I feel it has a moment of weakness at the beginning with Naruto's characterisation (but only a minor blemish bringing down what was otherwise a very good grasp of the character to above average for that scene) and at the conclusion of the Wave Arc, but otherwise it has been a very entertaining read. I promised in my review that I'd recommend it (it already has been on SB - I found it in the links thread), and I have.

It takes place during the timeskip (so Naruto's out of the picture), and deals with Sakura losing her first patient. Needless to say, Sakura does not take the loss well, but her real problems are coming from her teachers, who keep giving her advice she really does not need or want. This is probably my favourite story dealing with this time period, and Blue Jeans is a fantastic author, so give it a try.

Funny, intelligent, promises up and down that no pairings are planned, and the butterflies are starting to show quite clearly. Reading this makes me alternate between snickering, giggling, and laughing out loud. And Sakura going full prodigy, tying with Itachi for second youngest graduate and only not matching Kakashi due to not being discovered sooner (or rather, going back further) is a lot different from the usual fare. (Only fic I remember doing that is Team Tensai, and there the whole team went back...)
The only things I'm missing at this point is some read on what Danzo is like in this story (evil, or just overly pragmatic - he hasn't actually shown up yet), and I'm looking forward to seeing whether Sarutobi will end up recalling Tsunade in the next couple of years for having run out of teachers for Sakura...

Recommended by Tylonius & uju32.
Basically the story of Minato and Kushina's life from the moment they met to (eventually) their deaths from Minato's perspective. Some of the information is slightly off due to age, but most of it is spot on. Well written, one of the better stories I've read in any fandom. It manages to go from the bloody war on the Kiri border to a comedic marriage scene between Mikato and Fugaku "Fugu-Face" Uchia in a smooth and realistic transition. Shows that nothing and no one is perfect.
Now for the warnings. The war and fighting scenes are rather graphic (though not overly) and written so that it is easy to see the scene in your head. It also doesn't pull any punches describing the horror of war and what it can do to people. Oh, and the authors Britishisms slip through some time (Minato once called an umbrella a brolly, but thats about the worst one).

Oooh, I can't remember the name but I read one fic that took that trope and really ran with it. Naruto got known as the sword collector and people with swords refused to fight against him because he was famous for taking the swords but in reality he couldn't care less and gave them as a gift to Tenten.

There's something to be said for keeping the past as it was - makes it predictable, malleable. Naruto never bought those arguments. He's always been the one to power through adversity rather than wait it out, so why would now be any different? He'll do what has to be done, even if he steps on a few butterflies along the way.

I just read it. It is a bashfic. I'm sorry, it is. It is objectively a bashfic. Hinata is Hinata in name only. Kakashi and Sasuke bashing. Repeated 'omg, Hinata is so awesome' moments that serve no purpose except to denigrate other characters (Kiba especially). It's shit. It is a genuinely bad fic. Oh, it's passably written. Passably. But it's transparently author wish fulfillment. Unfortunately, from an in-character perspective, all it shows off is Hinata's suddenly laudable sociopathy. Congratulations!

All in all, this story is excellent, and definitely worth a read through. That said, a few words of caution are necessary. This story features a Naruto/Sasuke pairing. Normally, for me, that would be enough to turn me off the story, but it's well done enough that I can deal with it, and, far more importantly, is not central to the plot, which is fascinating. However, if you absolutely cannot stand homosexual pairings (or just cannot stand this one), while you could just skip the scenes in which the sexual aspects of Naruto and Sasuke's relationship are prominent (of which there are few, none of which are that important), you probably will not enjoy the story nearly as much as a person who can live with this pairing. Additionally, this story was started before all the jinchuriki were revealed, so not all of them are quite the same as in canon. Most notably, Killer Bee is not present in this story.

Teenage Naruto fangirl and innocent bystander is transported to the Narutoverse, possibly by a portal caused by the chidori-rasengan clash that ends the fight of the Valley of the End.
Rather than linking up with ninjas and having crazy adventures, they end in a dump of a village for a year, before being discovered by Kabuto who takes them to Hidden Sound.
To avoid being killed and put in glass jars as medical curiosities, Naruto fangirl starts claiming to be a prophet and buys their continued survival with daily predictions of future events to Orochimaru, who doesn't buy the prophecy thing but is generally amused by the whole thing.
In the whole, the story is well written, but dark near to the point of grimdark and the PoV character ends with so fucking much trauma that at the current point in the fic timeline (Kakuzu & Hidan arc) she is pretty much a mental basketcase who is like a total bitch to the Konoha crew when they get her out of Sound after the first attempt to rescue Sasuke.

Alright, I have a rec I think. This is a story (apparently) based loosely off of nobody102's Scorpion's Disciple, where Naruto meets and works with Sasori. And it shows, since as far as I can tell the first chapter of Scorpion's Sting is literally the first chapter of Disciple. But chapter two has some of the better world building I've ever seen in a Naruto fanfiction. The author also seems to have earned his chops in the Epic Fantasy genre, which gives me hope for the fic as a whole. I linked to chapter two because chapter one, since it appears to be a literal/almost literal copy of the beginning of Scorpion's Disciple, is completely skipable.

The Twelve of Two by silentknight021. Pairing warning: Naruto/Sakura. Shortly before Naruto leaves on his training trip, he crosses paths with a depressed Sakura and says some things that cause both of them to start re-evaluating their relationship. If this is your kind of thing, I think it is well written enough to be worth reading, but caveats: Naruto is, as the author admits, slightly OOC. There is, thus far, zero action of any kind in the story; it is 140,000 words covering one evening and morning of Naruto and Sakura alternately angsting and clumsily attempting to come to some kind of terms with what, if anything, they feel for each other. There's at least one minor character with a highly annoying textual accent. The update schedule seems to be extremely irregular, so I wouldn't expect any more anytime soon.

I'm not sure if this one has been rec'd, but thus far it's a reasonably solid piece featuring a rather far advanced AU. It's got a female nartuo, but the main divergence happens off screen with Naruto ending up running away from Konoha. The story takes place during the wave mission when she shows up again, as a Samurai. There's a great deal of implied world building that seems interesting thus far, focusing on the "other half" of the continent where Samurai are the big thing, rather than Ninja.

This Time Around is a slightly older fic inspired by the kid Naruto and Sasuke scenes in the Valley of the End fight, where Sasuke and Naruto end up back in time before the Uchiha clan massacre immediately after the Chidori Rasengan clash during that fight. They end up growing up again as friends. Sasuke is still a social recluse with the exception of Naruto, but is nicer all around and isn't revenge focused at the exclusion of all else. Since this was started well before Itachi's background was revealed in canon (it was started way back in 2005) and it was still assumed he went psycho and killed his own clan Sasuke and Naruto manage to partially derail his plan, though a decent chunk of the Uchiha's still lose their lives in the process.

Is...not really Sakura-centric in the strictest sense. That is, Sasuke and Naruto gets POVs too and their own struggles but mostly the focus is on Sakura. Anyway, it's a mission fic in an AU where the massacre didn't happen for some reasons yet to be explained. It's also one of the few on my list that happens around Shippuden.

Recommended by Dimensionist.
For those new to the story (which I expect will be most of you), the story follows the basic plotline of having Naruto be adopted by Tsunade. Unlike most of these types of fics, however, it doesn't suck.
The Senju (now Houou - explanation for the name change is in the last chapter) family is explored a bit more, and Tsunade, due to having a baby to raise, is a bit more involved than she was OTL, having numerous clients for her healing skills. Fight scenes are awesome and well-written, character interactions (including the one between the new OC and Naruto) are hilarious, heartwarming and always entertaining, and the story explores Naruto's entire life from birth, fleshing out the Narutoverse, adding characters, situations and plot here and there, and meshing them very well.
Read it - it's awesome (just like all of funkmasterjo's stories) and definitely one of the better Naruto fics on the net.

After her confession to Naruto, Sakura gets thrown back in time via Tobi-Sharingan-hax and gets to meet young Minato and Kushina. It's apparently the author's first story, and it shows in the extremely clumsy writing, and the plot is nothing special thus far... but there's occasional glimmers of potential and despite the clumsiness it is fun to watch Sakura and Kushina tsun-tsun off each other. Mostly, I'm probably just amused that there's now another active story besides my own filed under "Sakura H. & Kushina U." on Fanfiction.Net, but if you are bored and the idea is something that appeals to you, it might be worth checking out.

Recommended by anowack.
Genre: Humorous but not quite crack
Fairly ridiculous premise: Without meaningful explanation, ten-year-old Sakura is sent her (flamboyantly gay) elder brother's baby son to raise. (Both her brother and her parents have, apparently separately, gone on extended journeys to other parts of the world for reasons that are as yet unexplained.)
What the story is actually about: The baby is used as an excuse to make Sakura be more mature, which is used as an excuse for Sakura to meet and train with Gai (and later Team Gai) during her time in the academy, which is used as an excuse to make an awesomer version of Team Seven.
Why It's Worth A Quasi-Rec: Because, after a rough first few chapters, it does hit its stride, and I found most of the latest chapters (covering the first parts of the Chuunin Exam) genuinely laugh-out-loud funny.
Why It's A Quasi-Rec: There's an OC (Sakura's adoptive uncle) who the author is way too fond of in a Sue-ish kind of way, although thankfully he's never really the focus and is largely played for humor. There's the mind-bogglingly bizarre revelation that the Haruno are distantly related to the Kazakage's family somehow, revealed and inexplicably proved to everyone's satisfaction by the fact that Sakura's nephew looks exactly like baby Gaara, though at least this is used to set up some amusing character interactions. (This is, probably, the only Naruto fanfic in which Sasuke teaches Gaara how to sew.)

Something about the plot just seemed to irk me that I could never put my finger on but that is something just about all of Quill's work do to me. It is at least worth a try for just about anyone.

AU with regards to Iwa/Stone and Ame/Rain, and takes some pretty... unusual and stretching interpretation of Tsunade's character to make sense, to the point that the author had to spell it out pretty early even though I wish she didn't. I like what the author did for the other countries, and Sakura's character development and the aforementioned relationship between Sakura and Tsunade (and it being central to the story). All in all an interesting story, even if the Americanism does make me giggle more than when it inadvertently winds its way into other fics.

Naruto knew something was up the moment he landed in the strange forest; being sucked into the sky should have been his first clue. How's a shinobi supposed to adapt to such a strange new environment? Easy, one step at a time.

Effloresco Secundus by romantiscue. Harry Potter crossover, where Sakura is a reincarnated Hermoine. Yes, the idea isn't terribly appealing and there's tremendous potential for the story to go wrong, but two chapters in this is actually decently written and manages a new take on the team introductions/bell test. So I think it's worth keeping an eye on.

Yeah, I'm a big KH fan so I tried to read this, but it's pretty bad. The first chapter is fairly interesting, but after that it's just Naruto aping Sora's first visit to Yen Sid and going through the motions as he goes to various KH worlds, not deviating from the plots of the original movies at all and not really adding anything to Naruto's journey. It seems the author is deliberately ignoring interesting plot hooks, such as meeting Yuffie. Come on, she's a ninja girl! Maybe she's another survivor from Naruto's world! Of course, we know she isn't, but Naruto has no way of knowing that, yet the story just pushes past her.

It's written in a somewhat oneiric style that is almost actively obfuscatory and definitely requires at least one reread to make sense of. Fortunately, the chapters are fairly short. In an AU where he was never cured of the Moxibustion Point, Ranma somehow ends up in the Narutoverse and hears of a certain clan with eyes that can see through flesh and spirit alike. He makes his way to Konoha in hopes of a Hyuuga cure and, somehow, ends up as the (honorary) fourth member of a team of up-and-coming young legends: the boisterous loudmouth powerhouse, the preternaturally gifted medic-nin, the aloof prettyboy genius. That's right, Ranma is the Fourth Sannin :p

Fade In: From Idea To Final Draft - The Writing Of Star Trek: Insurrection
http://theologica.verydewarsontherocks. ... FadeIn.pdf
By Michael Piller
Recommended by Lavanya Six.
For those of you who don't recognize the name, Michael Piller took over the position of head writer on Star Trek: The Next Generation early in its third season, writing such classics as "The Best of Both Worlds" and taking open submission of scripts from fans, giving such writers as Ronald D. Moore their start in television. He also had a hand in developing Deep Space Nine and Voyager, and, as the title here notes, wrote the script for the ninth Star Trek movie, Insurrection.
Before his premature death from cancer, Piller wrote this (still officially unpublished) book about the development of Star Trek Insurrection. It's a fascinating read, for what it says openly and for what it says unintentionally.
Among the revelations is just how dedicated the actors and even Paramount itself are to the Star Trek franchise. The notes that Piller gets in the process of revising his script cite chapter and verse of canon. Far from simply milking it like a cash cow, the reader gets a sense of a great deal of reverence for the franchise. Also interesting are the repeated discussions of what "is" Star Trek and the restrictions of the material. Piller himself also gives some decent advice on the writing and revision process, and it's neat to see him work through the entire process.
Unintentionally, there's another story to be found reading in-between the lines. You get the sense from the book that Piller is, to borrow that famous description of LBJ, a riverboat captain lost at sea. He's a television writer who isn't suited to be a film writer. And considering the point at which he's writing this book (the early 2000s), his comments about the shift in movies toward big spectacle pieces seem prophetic. (Insurrection, for instance, got its ass handed to it at the box office by The Two Towers.) Piller repeatedly derides that shift, pointedly keeping big set pieces out of his script in favor of a character focus. Which isn't a bad sentiment... save, again, for him being a riverboat captain. Insurrection is often criticized as an oversized TV episode of TNG, something Piller himself repeats in this book, and one gets the sense that Piller wanted it that way.
So if you're interested in the TNG-era of Star Trek, or just the screenwriting process in general, I recommend this book. It's free online in PDF form.

As I look out upon this galaxy of ruination and war, I sense a great darkness closing in and associated emotion despite my lack of emotion or equivalent limbic system. I lack the programmed ability for self-analysis, yet I know begin to question myself. I ask myself what are these 'emotional' states of mental functioning I experience are. Perhaps it is better..not to question. The exposure to the immaterium has...altered me in ways I did not reckon. My peptide memory cores remain intact, the information I must transmit encoded into it.

Mass Effect Xover. Recommended by Dusel.
Do not be fooled...this is only one chapter. I found this story yesturday and the lenght astounded me so I got to reading it, I read about 2/3rds of the story until the Euro 2012 matches started and then I just couldn't find it in myself to finish it. Still it is a wonderfully well written story with a lot of information given on Warhammer 40k to introduce new readers to the brutality of the setting. The Imperial Character was just off to me, one could say he bordered Marry Suedom but that is only because the character posseses both cunning and tact.
Over at the Mass Effect side? More good storytelling though the whole Mindoir thing does not follow canon, this could be either authors fiat or the author simply not knowing all the facts, as some might now I dislike stories who change canon just so they can get the ball rolling or because they didn't like it. NEVER change canon to fit your story, show us instead the point where the story diverges from the OTL and how the decisions of the characters under these new circumstances change canon events yet to come. That is my biggest gripe, plus there is a lot of swearing on the ME side, I find it a bad habbit of mine and don't like it when the Protagonists of the story need to swear...plus Commander Shepard has never said a swear words in all three games. I think he may have used the word 'bastards' at one time but w/e.
I think a lot of people will enjoy the amount of detail that the author has put into his story, he either knows Dark Heresy like a savant or had it by his side when he wrote this story because the amount of minute details is astonishing. This story can and WILL emerse you as you start to read through it. Though, a warning...this is just a prologue chapter.

Did you read even the executive summary of my report? There are some interesting biomaterials that we could work with, but I stressed, multiple times, that this creature is far too dangerous to even consider using in military research projects. It's aggressive, stupid, vicious, aggressive, impossible to train, and did I mention aggressive?
. . .their limbs work on hydraulic principles and operate under pressure, which is why they splurt like a popped water balloon when they get hit in those Marine camera feeds we saw. A slight wound to a limb takes them right the hell out of commission, and now your troops have to deal with an insanely aggressive and stupid xenomorphic K-9 unit that oh by the way IS BLEEDING ACID.

The Bird Men Of Patagonia

By Pkmatrix
http://www.alternatehistory.com/discuss ... php?u=1574
The Great American Interchange, some assert, was the greatest ecological disaster to strike South America before the advent of humanity. Following the formation of the Isthmus of Panama about 3 million years ago, the relatively isolated South American ecosystem was invaded by North American species. This invasion result in direct competition between the unique avian species that dominated the continent and mammalian predators. By and large, the mammals succeeded in nearly every category, resulting in the wholesale extermination of the Phorusrhacids (also known as the "terror birds") and the domination of mammals in the newly formed singular American landmass.
There were exceptions, of course.
One was the the large predatory bird Titanis Walleri, which became the only terror bird to successfully migrate north and survived until the arrival of humans about 20,000 years ago. Two others were the Red-Legged and Black-Legged Seriemas of Brazil, Bolivia, and Argentina.
The most famous survivor, however, was the Seriema's larger cousin, Cariama Primitivus - the direct ancestor of Cariama Sapiens, the only other sapient species on Earth besides Homo Sapiens.
Recommended by Alamo & Narf the Mouse.
I have an alternate-history original story to recommend - The Bird Men of Patagonia. The gist of it is that an intelligent species of birds developed on the southern tip of the Americas. The story primarily follows the experiences of a Spanish mariner taken prisoner by the bird-men in the 1500s.

Adolf Hitler is dead. The Führer of Nazi Germany has been brought down by a bold attack, led by the mastermind of Germany's military intelligence organization, the Abwehr, Wilhelm Canaris. But Canaris did not act on his own. Soldiers - men and women - from the future, flung back in time by a strange tempest, fought at the conspirators' side. The course of history has been changed.
But not all is well.
The Nazis are shocked and battered, but far from beaten. Reinhard Heydrich, the head of the Nazi security apparatus and new self-proclaimed Reichsführer, is gathering his forces as occupied Europe finds itself cut in half, embroiled in a German civil war.
With Germany in disarray, Italy's fascist leaders are seeking glory and conquests of their own. Across the Channel, Churchill's Britain stands undefeated and defiant, confident that the time has come to turn the tides of this war.
And while the United States stands as a distant towering giant, with "Uptimers" of its own working to prepare it for the coming struggle, the realization of those in Germany that there is more than one devil (and he may come offering gifts) may just propell their fellowship into a precipice...

Our very own Posbi has begun the second installation to The Burning of Ages series, Clash of Eagles, on the Alternate History forum.
For those unfamiliar with the story, it tells how an international fleet is sent back to World War II. So far, the second part covers the actions of the modern Germans in Germany; despite having killed Hitler, they find it more difficult to resolve the many problems facing Germany and the world than they first anticipated.

Hello everyone. I've had an alternate history idea rolling around in my head for a while and I've decided to make a timeline. There are two main points of divergence, first that the Laskarids of Nicaea don't suffer from epilepsy and thus are allowed to continue their centralizing trends. Second, that Charles of Anjou has a significantly harder time securing the throne of Sicily. So, without further ado, the Age of Miracles.

As long as we're doing Alternatehistory.net stories The Revival of Rhomaion: An Age of Miracles is my favorite Byzantine/Eastern Roman Empire timeline and I've pretty much read all of the available ones in English going back to the ~late '90s. So that is saying something even for such a specific topic. The guy updates like a machine and responds to feedback in a timely manner.
The only negative I'd say is the author is a bit fond of Lord of the Rings references, but he did say he edited most of those out so it shouldn't be a problem.

It's another character-centric piece on a strong, high-born woman going through the fucked-up events of Westeros like Feathered Bed. Still tragic in nature overall but with an uplifting enough ending that doesn't end up being a cop-out. I also really love the way Myrcella is portrayed here, especially her interactions with Cersei at the beginning of the fic, and with Jamie towards the tail-end which got pretty heart-wrenching at times.

Now, with the war over and her younger brother, the last male heir to Winterfell, off at the Wall, Eddara (please, call me Ned) assumes responsibilities as the Lady of Winterfell, Warden of the North, and the false mother to the bastard babe Jon Snow.
Recommended by windupbird & anowack.
Never thought Ned Stark can be portrayed as a woman, let alone as a pretty believable and awesome chick, but this story has managed to do so thus far. Oh, and Robert is pretty awesome in this one as the rowdy, caring, big-bro figure as well.

Arya Stark wanted to be a knight; she wanted to find glory and adventure with Needle in her hand. But that is not an appropriate life for a highborn lady, and that was all Arya of House Stark was allowed to be.
Recommended by windupbird.
It's pretty much an AU where Arya, with House Stark having not fallen, ends up having to be a high court lady instead of the kick-ass assassin she turned out to be. Who would have thought that that route could be as heart-wrenching as what happened in canon (although it leads Arya through a different sort of emotional spectrum)?
It has an M rating but the scenes that made the fic that way are tasteful, not overtly graphic, and essential to the overall progression of the story. It's a good read, though if you're looking for hack n' slash scenes and all that action this one isn't for you as, at its core, it's a character piece. I'd give it a 7.5/10

Have you ever skipped to the last chapter of a book?
Sooner or later you return to the page where you left off, but everything reads differently now. Perhaps you lose interest and skim your way through. Suspense and urgency wither underneath a foregone conclusion. Or perhaps knowing that the struggles, the triumphs, the epiphanies will all amount to nothing leaves even the brightest moments coloured in grey. Whatever the story, whatever your view, to see the ending transforms, irrevocably, that which comes before.
What if you turned back to find only blank pages, and a pen in your hand?

But their spirits might have grown in different ways, mightn't they, living in the place our ancestors built? Living in the sky?"
In which the air family travels to the Northern Air Temple to investigate claims of airbending there, and Jinora is her grandfather's granddaughter, or tries to be.
Recommended by Lavanya Six.
A fresh spin on an occasional AtLA fanfic theme, namely that the Earth Kingdom settlers at the Northern Air Temple eventually become airbenders. The fic maintains Original Flavor with the show, and there's nice moments of characterization and worldbuilding. In the seventy years since AtLA, the Mechanist's people at the Northern Air Temple have started taking on the air of the Adeptus Mechanicus.

A Legend of Korra AU where Jinora is Lin's daughter, not Pema's.
Not a big and flashy AU, but character-centric one about 2200 words long. Jinora is an earthbender here, and basically a child of divorce. The fic explores how being an earthbender and a cop's daughter affects her.

This is one of the about ten Bleach fics that are actually readable.
A nail type fic where a young (~2-4) Ichigo discovers the connection between his mother's happiness and him learning things. Ichigo, been the mama's boy that he is, puts his all into learning whatever he can to please her.
This eventually leads Ichigo to overhear a conversation at his mother's funeral where he learns three key pieces of information:
1) His mother was killed by somthing called a 'hollow'
2) His father was somthing called a 'shinigami' and used to fight hollows
3) This 'hollow' has his mother's soul and he has to kill it to release her.
And thus begins young Ichigo's quest to hunt down and kill hollows in hopes of one day freeing his mother's soul.

HP/Addams Family Xover. Recommended by Crazy Self.
Alexander Harris and the Shadow Council by Tenhawk is an "AU" of Harry Potter, where the main characters are Xander of "Buffy the vampire slayer" and Wednesday of "The Addams Family". Both are wizards and were going to the Salem Institute (the American school for wizards), but because of an incident they go to Hogwarts, they met at Salem and Xander decide that Wednesday is interesting, even if creepy, so he stick around her. Xander is sorted in Slyterin and Wednesday in Ravenclaw, they become close and start studying in the library together with Hermione. The events of the books happen in the background, the story is interesting, well written and the characters are developed.
Does anyone can suggest other good or even only interesting Xander centric fic?

Eureka Xover. Recommended by Murazor.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Eureka. 70k words. Complete. Standalone (but has a side-story).
Buffy and Dawn start suffering from a medical condition caused by some stuff that Buffy got exposed to during the days of the Initiative. With most of the people involved in the relevant experiments dead and buried, the only lead towards a cure is the single survivor, one Beverly Barlowe.
Opinion: Writing is a bit rough, with a smattering of spelling and punctuation mistakes, but the narrative flows well, as one usually expects in a Mediancat fic (she is the author of previously recommended crossovers with Veronica Mars and Daria, of all things). Good characterization and generally good handling of a whole bunch of different points-of-view for a fic that is not that long. I particularly liked that the author sought to be "fair" with both sides of the crossover and the Eureka folks calling the Buffy crew on their paranoid nonsense, which is something rarely explored in BtVS crossovers. Also, that the physical similarity between two characters played by the same actress in RL is acknowledged and turned into a plot point, rather than handwaved. 8/10.
Notes: Though personally it doesn't bother me, it should be noted that the author deliberately rejects the "Season 8" comics as part of the continuity. As a result, Willow is a tad less uber than one has come to expect in post-series end Buffyverse fanfic.

Recommended by Murazor.
A four years old boy is found hidden in the crime scene of a singularly grisly murder, scared out of his mind and with no known connection with the victim. Things go downhill from there thanks to corrupt law enforcement and a sudden mob turf war.
Opinion: Technically it is well written (the author, Neuropsych, has been previously recommended for a Stargate / Harry Potter crossover that is pretty OK) and the dialogue is well suited for the characters. Bit sparse in description and seriously lacking in action, tho', even in the parts in which horrible things happen to horrible people. Characterization of the canon characters seems fine and the original characters involved are interesting, although they don't stay onscreen quite enough to develop complex personality. Also, the primary murder plot is wrapped up about halfway through the story and things shift from crime mystery to a rather fluffy series of chapters of bonding between Beckett and Castle. Nevertheless... 7.5/10.

Recommended by Lavanya Six.
I'm giving this one a hesitant recommendation. The universe itself is fleshed out, and half of the fic takes place in flashback scenes leading up to Simon Belmont's attack on Dracula's castle. That half adds a lot of religious and historical color to Simon's character and builds up a solid sense of Dracula being a menace that only someone with a lifetime of specialized training could take on. The hesitancy in my recommendation comes from a few factors. The story isn't as tight as it could be as the author was novelizing the whole game (including all the boss fights). There's a run-on sentence in the opening paragraphs which might serve as a land mine for some. Also, the castle scenes are almost entirely Simon either fighting or communing with God, and thus don't have the same heft as the flashback scenes where he's interacting with other people.
Still, if you're in the mood for Castlevania fanfic, or just for an action story where a dude fights endless streams of monsters with only his whip and his faith in God, here you go.

-Chronicles of Amber

Through A Mirror Darkly
http://www.thekeep.org/~wombat/AmberRPG ... index.html
GMed by John Biles
Through A Mirror Darkly is an on-line Amber Diceless Role-Playing Game chronicle set in a somewhat alternate Amber. The geography and cosmology is taken (or twisted) from the Amber novels, but the royal family has been replaced entirely by new characters, mostly adapted from various fictional works, especially Neon Genesis Evangelion and Revolutionary Girl Utena.
It is a 100 point campaign in which the players play the fourth generation of Amberites descended from Fuyutsuki, who drew the Pattern with his own blood and the Jewel of Judgement, creating Amber the Eternal City and infinite Shadow. King Gendo, his son, died before his father, finally perishing of old age thirty years ago, and now his son King Tylor I rules Amber, trying to follow in his father's hard to follow footsteps. Tylor and his fellow Elders are the parents of the PCs and their NPC cousins.
It is designed for relatively novice players...or so I hope anyway. ^^;;;
Recommended by Klaus.
Through a Mirror Darkly is an excellent example of this, and since one of the characters (Hiko) is played by an Amber novice, her logs make an excellent starting point if you're not familiar with the game.

For hundreds of years, a madman sought to destroy Amber, to destroy Chaos, to open the Gate of Revolution and let in the Outsiders to destroy everything that he might remake all of creation and finally surpass his father. In the year 1292, Annadil's plans finally came to fruition, and for a moment, his goals seemed within his grasp. But in the way of such fools, he sowed the seeds of his own destruction, and the Children of the Elements brought about his defeat forty years ago. That storm has long passed, yet many mysteries of the universe remain for a new generation to explore. The time has come for that generation to go forth and claim their place in creation as Heirs of the Unicorn...

A century ago, the Outsiders put forth their tentacles, and let forth the call for nine candidates to come forth and compete to become the Herald of the Outer Gods. A new generation of Amberites arose to put down their menace, and to battle Hel, Queen of the Dead, who sought to exploit Amber's vulnerability and turn it into a universe of Abyssal Slaves like her own. But before the power of the Captain of the Phoenix Fleet, the Bride of the Dragon, and the Hanged Woman, and the Bride of the Jewel, and the Heir of the Unicorn, and the Twice-Born Prince, and the Lion's Cub, no power could stand, though the Seeker, the Crafter, the Child of Metal, and the Master of the Waves fell before the final battle, and the Child of Fire and the Ever-Burning Brand and the Son of the Seas perished on the Day of the Dead, and the Daughter of a Dream lost her wings for a time. Now a century has passed, and life proceeds as peacefully as it ever does. A new generation has arisen, to make themselves princes of the universe, all of Shadow for their playground. But now the trumpet sounds, and the Nine Riders must go forth, as the curtain rises on the final act of this saga...

Comments - This is a peggy sue fic with spot on characterization and long length. The main character disregards his previous ethical compulsion from utilizing his powers fully. It follows certain canon events (because it worked) while deviating and skipping more repetitive events by bypassing them through other solutions. Problems experienced before are address before it fucked our favorite anti-hero over with some very good world building, proper grammar and punctuation. Overall, an extreme good read, definitely B+ material. Highly recommended

Recommended by Luke Danger.
Here's a pair of fics that well deserve recommendations, Jeremiad and Anathema, a dual pair of fics which covers the same story, but told from different perspectives. The core structure is similar, and they have the same core intersecting points, but between those stories are two different tales. One of a certain huntress, one of a fallen hero.
Essentially, it is one author's well done interpertation of the alternate timeline see in The Ultimate Enemy in Danny Phantom, told from Valerie's perspective (Jeremiad), and Dan Phantom (Anathema). It well deserves praise it is given and did an excellent job building a timeline to shift Amity Park and the entire setting from what we see in the majority of the series to the hell world we saw as the future in TUE.
To give you a taste:
Jeremiad follows Valerie as she deals with the whole truth and is forced to fill in the void that Danny had left behind... one desperately more needed when Dan begins his havoc. Its a story of coping with guilt while trying to protect what has survived, against impossible odds and politics of the sheep dismissing a threat as gone. It also has a three chapter epilogue that I would suggest reading after you've read the other two.
Anathema follows Dan, detailed how he came to be and how he acted. Here, we have a sympathetic portrayal of this ax-crazy omnicidal fallen hero... a sympathetic portrayal that absolutely ensures that it makes it clear he is evil, and that you should hate him. Yet, it makes him more than a simple omnicidal maniac fallen hero and gives him motivations and reasons for it without going all fangirl squee on him.
Wholeheartedly recommended, and the author masterfully blends in the scenes we actually see in TUE with expansion on areas where it blanked out or had seeming holes. I'd personally recomend Anathema first. If you've seen TUE, then you know how the whole thing ends, but the epilogue is better when you read both stories first.

An ancient enemy threatens the island kingdom of Avalon.
DC Elseworlds - Rated: T - English - Adventure - Chapters: 1 - Words: 45,195 - Reviews: 7 - Published: 4-20-99 - Complete
Recommended by Murazor.
A tale of the kingdom of Avalon in which Richard Lord Grayson, ward of Bruce Lord Wayne, must join the struggle against the evil hordes of the sinister sorcerer Mordant. To defeat the Evil, Grayson shall have to gain command of the magic artifact known as the Emerald Eye.
Opinion: Relatively well written, though with some mistakes (and a pretty bad Case of Random Capitalization). The text manages to wrap up a war and a romance storyline, but does so at the cost of rushing things and that is jarring at points. The dialogue feels in the stiff side of things, but that's probably in part related to use of archaism to add flavour to the text. In the whole, something of a disappointment, but I thought that some folks here might want to check out the best known DC characters adapted to a Prince Valiant style setting. I'd give this one a 6,5/10.

Recommended by Murazor.
Thirteen years old Dick Grayson is kidnapped and poisoned by criminals who demand that Bruce Wayne pay five hundred million dollars in ransom, unless he wants his adoptive son to die a very horrible death.
Opinion: The story is very well written, although FF has screwed up the format some (section breaks are gone, for example). Good characterization for the canon characters, as far as I can tell, and while the villains (original characters) appear pointlessly brutal... well, they are supposed to be guys who kidnap children and inject them lethal stuff. Bit jarring, still. Very good dialogues. Overall, a truly fine fic that I recommend wholeheartedly. I particularly liked the fact that the author apparently tried to get his facts right and researched the effects of atropine poisoning. 9/10.

A trilogy of relatively short Batman Beyond fics (about 20,000 words each) covering the life of Terry McGinnis from his earliest adulthood to old age, passing through marriage and parenthood, and how he struggles (and oft fails) to be both Terry and the Batman.
Interesting mostly for characterization, although some of the stuff in the story is remarkably dark in mood and nature (making me wonder whether the writer was in the grasp of depression when doing this), so NOT recommended for readers who like their happy endings. Caveat emptor and all that stuff.

Light, from Death Note qualifies - but I like him better in fanfics that portray him a tad differently, anyway - like that awesome fic where, due to being kidnapped by Yakuza and witnessing the corruption in the police machinery first hand (even if said corruption was due to his father not wanting to lose him), Light loses his sense of moral superiority, which only diminishes further as he's abused and brought up in a criminal's environment.
Things got rather interesting when he acquires the Death Note, and this bitter, cynical Light, who knows that everything he's doing is wrong, commits crimes out of a sense of suicidal guilt.
It was pretty awesome, the emotion and character interaction in that fic. Damned if I could remember the name, though.

Your earliest childhood memories are mostly happy ones, but when you were 4, a fire that ended up destroying almost a fifth of all the houses in the entire Alienage abruptly orphaned you. Luckily the Alienage Hahren made sure you would have a roof over your head and food to eat, but all his attempts to find you proper foster parents who could afford to adopt you have all met with failure so far. And so you have been passed around from temporary caretaker to temporary caretaker. The two neighbours' kids you were friends with died in the fire, and you haven't dared making friends with anyone else, fearing they might die too.

I found it very good in it's interaction between future Trunks and Vegeta when he was one of Frieza's soldiers, with Raditz and Nappa along for the ride.
It gave good reasons for not having Trunks spam Super Saiyan and destroy everything and solve everyone's problems, giving back some importance to the skill of the warrior instead of fighting being purely a matter of power levels.
And it doesn't play nice; murderers don't become good people overnight, if ever.

No one knows. But I think they did. And here's how I think it happened.
The Last Warrior II Full Circle
http://web.archive.org/web/200310031407 ... ircle.html
What if Freeza had never existed? What if the Saiyajin homeworld had never been destroyed? What if infant Kakaroto had never received the head injury that changed him into the good-hearted Son Gokuu? What if the first Super Saiyajin had been . . . Vejiita? How would the Dragonball characters we know and love have been changed? And what new heroes and villains would have arisen in such a world . . .?
In "The Last Warrior," we got a taste of what that world would have been like when we met Ko Shiatar, a refugee from an alternate Earth, and a warrior who had spent her life fighting to free her world from its conquerors. She faced and defeated her own private demons during her stay in Trunks' world, but that was only the tryout for the true battle; a battle that would not be won until she returned to her home dimension---and faced Vejiita, Kakaroto, and the full might of the Saiyajin Empire.
This is her tale.

Merry Christmas/yuletide/hanukkah/kwanza/whatever you celebrate at this time of year. I've decided that as my first major contribution to /tg/, I would like to share with all of you what it was like for me to experience the DM seat for the first time in my life.
This experience happened only a few weeks ago.
Prior to this, my tabletop gaming experience was limited to two sessions of D&D 3.5 and several years of reading hardcore DM theory articles that are scattered across the web at various websites.
So, without further ado, I will begin by introducing the setting I decided to throw my players into. It is a setting very near and dear to my heart. Dragonmech.
In a nutshell, this is Dragonmech:
Standard Fantasy meets Battletech meets steampunk meets Mad Max, in that order.
Recommended by Ardion Prosili.
Some personal favorites are the telling of a lesser known game, Dragonmech, where the moon is raining meteors and evil moon dragons on a typical D&D planet and people fight back with steam powered mechs with a side of political intruige.

Mind, my standards have changed (no comment on "improved") quite a bit since then.

What follows is a succession-style Let's Play of the game Dwarf Fortress. In it, we chronicle the rise and fall of the epic Dwarven fortress, Boatmurdered. (Actually, it's pretty much all fall.) Each ruler was given a single year of gametime in which to manage the fortress, then they gave the reigns over to the next player in line. I have added the occasional editor's note to clarify things, but mostly I stay out of the way. The madness surrounding Boatmurdered is quite apparent on its own, I feel.

http://lparchive.org/Dwarf-Fortress-Headshoots/
It's that time once again! As Toady keeps working on his mysterious construction, it has been decided that there's time for another Dwarf Fortress LP. If you are unfamiliar with Dwarf Fortress, the basic premise of the game is setting out with 7 (foolish) dwarves and to start digging out a mountain fortress. As your fortress grows, you need to manage getting all the resources you need, digging out living space for all of your migrants, fending off sieges, and trying to curtail the insanity that the game constantly throws at you. Only the greatest fortresses ever harness the power of adamantine, the rare and valuable metal located deep underground. However, the most honorable way of ending a fortress's life is not filled to the brim with wealth, but in an orgy of violence and bloodshed with tantruming dwarves killing eachother and imploding your civilization. Considering the fate of LPs in the past, it is a safe bet as to which fate Headshoots is going to end up succumbing to, especially given the fact that we have elected to settle in an area chock-full of undead.

Yes, this looks like an extremely long LP. DON'T PANIC. It's probably shorter than it looks, really.
This game generated an enormous amount of reader participation, and there are lots of pieces of art, short stories and journal entries. The archivist has tried to preserve as much of this as possible, as events in the reader posts were frequently incorporated into the overseer updates. You can find any additional content below the relevant overseer post - you don't have to read it, but if you want the full picture we suggest you do.

Sigrid is a lone wolf, forced into a pack and a destiny she never wanted. Vilkas is still coming to terms with the idea that much of his life has been a lie. Both of them must adapt to survive... Follows the MQ, Imperial, and Companions questlines.

Recommended by Murazor.
While going back to the home country, hard-bitten mercenary woman Sigrid Frostborn is mistakenly identified as a member of the Stormcloak rebellion and sentenced to die. Then a dragon shows up outta nowhere and ruins her execution. Things go downhill from there, particularly after she discovers (much to her surprise) that she is one of the legendary Dragonborn.
Opinion: Epic length fic, effectively a Skyrim novelization that follows an Imperial + Companions plotline. No major deviations from canon as far as I know, though my knowledge of the game is fragmentary and rudimentary at best. By the same token, however, I managed to follow everything despite that very own lack of knowledge.
Heavy in characterization, since much of the fic is instrospective POVs with decent work overall. There is some romance/relationship stuff and mildly steamy scenes between the Dragonborn main character and a guy from the Companions mercenary company. Solid prose, though the last few chapters suggest that some extra betaing wouldn't have been bad. Dialogue is good as far as I can tell, though I have no clue of how much the author might have taken straight from the game. Nevertheless, the story has kept my attention despite its length and wormed its way into my favourites. 8/10.

It's summary is a bit misleading. It's drama and humor is great, and the only crack elements is the Dragonborn herself. She is portrayed as the maniac game pc, but with actual character. It's a damn good read in my opinion.

EFS Normandy: First Battle (one-shot) and its sequel Beneath the Face of Saturn (short story, but complete) are well written and certainly rec-worthy. They deal with an original ExoFleet frigate in the days immediately prior to the NeoSapien revolt, in the campaign against the space pirates.

A warning to Nasu fans, it might cause mechanics REAG! but that's a result of pretty much every Nasu cross I've seen to date.

This is a deeply interesting FS/N fic. I believe, technically, it's time travel, but Shirou gets amnesia in the process so it reads much more like an AU/Want of A Nail fic. Basically Shirou takes the whole "Hero of Justice" thing a little bit more literally, and enter the superhero: Archer.
It's a well written fic, although it does have some proof reading issues, that offers a very interesting alternative reality Fate Stay/Night, and thus far is diverging from canon in awesome ways, in addition to plot divergence from Shirou superhero-ing.

Grimoire trouble by Blue342 has updated. If you recall, this is the crossover between Zerono Tukaima / Familiar of Zero and Final Fantasy Tactics Advance, where Marche ends up in Fouquet's shack early on and gets mistaken for "him" after the real one uses him as a patsy.
Notable for being a FoZ crossover where the new character isn't summoned by Louise, and, in fact, ends up in opposition to the main cast. In this case, Marche is working under the assumption that the situation is the same as in FFTA, and is taking... measures to deal with it the same way. Formatting on the first two chapters seems to be broken compared with what I remember, so it might be a slog early on.

Short History of Star98
I started Star98 as a series almost totally for myself, I knew of fanfic of course, but at the time (mid 1994) I didn't really know about the internet or any such thing. However, a short while ago I was given space at the The Anime Toshokans (a site I can now only assume to be deceased) to display the fics. This gave me the chance to go back and correct many of the errors of the originals (with the help of a few friends, and you know who you are!). I was very surprised at the overwhelming response and that is why this page is here in front of you today!
And now, On with the show!
Recommended by Xanrag.
And on the subject of FFVI one of the better ones I remember is part six of the probably totally unknown crossover series Star98. Basically it is a series where an author-created character gets inserted into realities, but it isn't an SI but a collaborative effort. In this story she has amensia though so it doesn't affect much. The last doesn't have anything to do with the previous chapters though so no need to read the earlier parts even though I remember really liking them too.

The Long Cold Winter

By Intrasonic
http://www.fanfiction.net/u/141653/intrasonic
I've read any number of FF6 fanfics, and 90% of them seem to fall under one of a few categories. There's the ‘Reintro of magic' archetype. And then there's the ‘Kill a character off and angst for awhile' plot. And of course, the ‘Kefka comes back' is a popular ‘idea'. And then there's the stories that deal with various love matchings (Locke/Celes and Terra/Edgar are quite popular, I've noticed). Some of these are written better than I could ever dream of myself. Others, to be perfectly blunt, aren't
worth the keystrokes involved in writing them, much less believable.
At any rate, I am attempting to try a slightly different angle on these various ideas, naturally putting a good number of the characters through approximate hell in the process. (Most characters, anyway. GoGo gluttons, Umaro-philes and Mog-maniacs - if any exist - are going to notice a distinct absence. I simply couldn't find enough in the RPG on them to get into their psyches) Anyone attached to their conceptions of what things are ‘supposed' to be like in FF6 is welcome to stop reading now. The same goes for any ‘happily ever after' idealists. This isn't necessarily going to be an angst-ridden fic, but bitter-sweetness will be par for the course.
That being said, on with the story...
Recommended by Klaus.
Even before Kefka, the Returners were not exactly boring people. With Kefka defeated, they return to the lives they left behind, or try to build new ones. Naturally, a collection of soldiers, treasure hunters , monarchs and misfits can't manage to do this quietly. FF 6, focused on Celes, with Locke, Setzer, Edgar and a number of others as support.

Cloud gets sent back in time to when he's a SOLDIER cadet. It involves a pretty cool version of Cloud as a teenager, not all powerful though. He makes some obvious changes and takes full advantage of his knowledge of some things like Shinra's pass codes and knowledge pre-time travel acquaintances about the building. Cloud's sudden increase in abilities though doesn't go entirely unnoticed and a bored Sephiroth and Angael start a semi-covert investigation into Cloud. Involves a bit of fun hijinx in those scenes. Overall the story is very well written and the alterations take place pretty gradually and work well in the story line.

Why I'm recommending this: "Protagonist goes back in time and tries to change things for the better" is a popular formula in fanfiction. And a tiresome one. Almost every story of this type has the main character slavishly replaying the events of the canon storyline and trying not to change too much so as to not lose the advantage of foreknowledge, usually while angsting a lot about how badly things turned out last time.
But every once in a while there's a story that breaks with the conventional take on the genre and instead has the protagonist go off the rails. Terrorism & Anarchy does this in glorious, glorious fashion, throwing an older post-AC Cloud, who seems to have worked through most of his issues, back in time to before the events FF VII. He promptly decides to take a more proactive approach to ensuring a better future. Soon, things start to go boom. And everyone else is left in the dust trying to figure out, who the hell is this guy blowing up and/or stealing Shinra Company's stuff left and right?!
Rather fun to read IMHO. I didn't know a thing about FF VII prior to reading it and had to look up some things on wikia, but still enjoyed the story a lot.

I really liked the premise from this one Thicker Than Blood (unfortunately only has 5 chapters and hasn't een updated for several months). Starts just before the mission in Nibelheim. Rufus under de-facto arrest/banishment by his dad in Junon loses Tseng as his primary body guard/confident. He winds up taking note of Cloud's performance on a mission and has certain suspicions about who the other blonde's unknown father might be. Cloud winds up getting a rather unique job offer from Rufus and decides to accept given that it lets him move up the food chain a bit and chances of passing the re-test for SOLDIER are somewhat slim.

Recommended by CuriousStranger.
Pretty generic summary, so I'll try to give you a better one.
Squall is Squall, you know, the loner guy who can't bear to be around people because he's too afraid of getting hurt. That said, recently he's found a great hobby. Triple Triad. The card game has quickly consumed his life. He plays it any chance he gets, anytime and anywhere. It starts in the 'present' sometime after Balamb takes on Galbadia Garden. It's pre-Esthar. Near the middle or end of each chapter, you get to see the start of Squall's love for Triple Triad and his growth.
The harem part is played mostly for laughs so far. Romance doesn't seem to be a big thing, and the main focus is on comedy. It's worth nothing that the author remembers that for all of Squall's posturing (...Whatever) he's very much a young man just out of teenagehood. That said, Squall doesn't really care about the people around him in a romantic sense, he's too busy trying to get rare cards for his collection. Damn it, all he wants is a few minutes to himself so he can play a goddamned match!
Solid writing. Fantastic meta-humor. Anyone who's a fan of FFVIII should take a look.

When Ed is kidnapped, Mustang and Hughes launch a desperate effort to find and rescue him, although that's not going to help the rumours that say that Edward Elric is actually none other than the illegitimate son of Roy Mustang.
Opinion: An interesting Mustang character piece with strong characterization for him and Ed, well written (with good dialogue) and a not very long, but well coreographed action sequence. 8/10.
Also, the author would like us all to know that the title does NOT contain yaoi of any kind.

For now, here's the scenario setup:

Falling Without A Parachute

James Bond Xover. Recommended by Murazor.
And now... for something genuinely different.
I've encountered a James Bond / Good Omens crossover oneshot, some eight thousand words long.
Well written and with decently strong characterization. And the crossover is handled in a rather clever way.
However, the story features Bond having moderately graphic homosexual sex with Anthony Crowley, so I am not giving links.
Nevertheless, if someone wants to check out the story on their own, it is Falling Without A Parachute by one Musegaarid and it is archived in Fanfiction.net, Good Omens sub-section.

Grim Fandango Novel
http://www.grim-fandango.com/novel.php
By Charles Frederick (MeddlingMonk)
Many computer games acquire a following. Fans seem driven to expand on the games they love. For some, this may involve mods (for the games that allow that). Others do artwork, or music. Others write stories. Some attempt to write novels based on the games, but sadly many fan novelizations of games are little more than transcripts. There is at least one that isn't.
First appearing in installments on the now-defunct website Glottis' Garage, the Grim Fandango novel by MeddlingMonk was initially well received. Although still sought after, it has become increasingly hard to find. Now, a thorough revision of the novel has been completed to be hosted here. Many plot points are developed more fully and the entire text has been tweaked to become more textured, more adult. If the game was intended to reflect film noir, then the novel is meant to key off of the writings of Dashiell Hammett, Raymond Chandler and Ross Macdonald.
Although adapted from an episodic game, the Grim Fandango novel presents a continuous story, filling in the gaps using hints from the game itself (including unused elements found in the game's data) or by using reasonable extrapolations. The result has given some readers the eerie feeling--despite knowing better--that it is the game that is the adaptation. If Tim Schafer had been a hardboiled novelist rather than a game designer, he might have come up with something like this.

http://forums.spacebattles.com/members/ ... 3535.5523/
I've had an idea for a Gundams Crossover.
Essentially, someone on Luna (in different realities) accidentally creates a quantum fissure stabilized on the gravity point of the Moon.
Each Gundam Reality has an irregular shaped patch on the Moon that is 'curtained off' by Ley Lines' essentially by these 100 mile tall curtains. After the initial flare, they become invisible, but if you walked west from say Vaugn Braw, you would end up in the CE near an Earth Alliance base or ZAFT base.
So I'm thinking five major realities.
Universal Century: Near the end of the OYW.
Cosmic Era: During the 1st Valentine's War.
After Colony: During the beginning of the series.
00: Set near the first of the series.
G-Gundam: Technically there, but on the dark side of the moon and no one knows of it. (not familiar with G-Gundam at all.)
So for the four main Gundam Realities, they have to learn abou the different realities and perhaps form alliances across the curtains.

They are a serie of fics that continue where the Gundam Seed anime left off and do it very well.

Over the Petpeeves thread there there was discussion about the "Betrayal" fics, and somebody linked a Harry Potter story that took the premise and turned it over. Instead of everybody betraying Harry, Harry just had a moment of Paranoia and started to see secret agendas on everybody else while the rest are pretty much left in canon.
.... Then he hits Fletcher on the head with a shovel.

Written by Zalgo Jenkins, the same person responsible for Postnuptial Disagreements, the Sekirei/Fate crossover featuring the OC Meriweth El-Melloi. This story is all about Voldemort currently living a double, perhaps even triple life. One as a stern disciplinarian Hogwarts Professor, another as a staunch Pureblood supporter married to Bellatrix Black, and lastly as the terrorist mastermind Lord Voldemort. It has Zalgo's typical style written all over it with cultural references and the details of elite high life. Very entertaining read so far.

Recommended by CuriousStranger.
So Strangers at Drakeshaugh just updated. Don't know if it's been recommended here yet. I'll try to describe it.
It's a Harry Potter fanfiction that frankly it's a miracle I enjoy. It's about muggle OCs. There's little to no magic. It's set in the future of canon a few years before the Epilogue.
I hate the Ginny/Harry relationship. I hate the Epilogue. I'm way more of an action guy...and yet this story is just so appealing.
It's a slice of life fic that focuses on an OC couple with 2 kids as they interact with the Potter family who have just moved into a small town in the English countryside. There's no real sense of grand overarching plot to it. There are no villains. What it is however, is a story that delves into family lives. Character interaction is intense and good. The author also has some nice other oneshots with OCs as well.
It is definitely not standard fare for Harry Potter fanfiction, but it deserves a look at least.

Silmarillion Xover. Recommended by Murazor.
During Prisoner of Azkaban, Severus Snape finds in the dungeons of Hogwarts a strange man that shows every sign of having been badly mauled by a werewolf. Thinking this to be evidence of Remus Lupin being up to no good, Snape alerts Dumbledore about the happening and the intruder is healed. Upon recovering consciousness, he gives his name as Finrod Felagund.
Opinion: First thing of all, this story is no epic. It is more of a mystery novelette with a weak plot (focused around the unveiling of the crossover mechanism and its specifics, as well as the solution to the story) and a lot of character moments. People who hated Being Gilderoy Lockhart likely will dislike this fic as well given that it ends with a return to canon status quo, but I give it a pass, since I've recently found a new appreciation for Borges' The Secret Miracle.
The writing is good, though the text has a fair share of minor mistakes (though some seem to be caused by FF.net eating part of the story formatting at some point). Dialogue is pretty good, as are the descriptions. Not much to comment in terms of action, though. In terms of characterization, the work done is praiseworthy and the author has obviously put up quite a bit of thought into it doing a surprisingly fine combination of metaphysics between two wildly different settings. Hell, there is even some commentary about the nature of self that avoids sounding pedantic.
Overall, a read that is not for all, but quite the enjoyable passtime if this kind of thing happens to be up your alley. 8/10.

Those who are used to happy endings where the good triumphs and the evil is defeated are invited to look elsewhere; because the main character of this novel is the worst kind of person, and this time no one and nothing will stop her. If you are looking for love, mercy or compassion, you will find none.
This is a heartless story, in a heartless world, filled with heartless characters, with the most heartless of all abusing the blade of truth to cause as much pain as possible.
If you derive pleasure from other people's misfortunes, you are most welcomed, your unsavory tastes will find abundance of delightful cases. Fell free to laugh with Erika and share her joy.
There is of course a murderer in this story and a mystery to be solved. But this isn't about murders, crimes and mysteries at all, this is about Erika Furudo, the Witch of Truth. If I wanted to show you a lion, I would show it in the savanna. If I wanted to show you a polar bear, I would show it in the icy lands of the arctic circle. For the same reason a story about Erika couldn't be anything else but a murder mystery, because that is her natural environment.
Feel free to challenge this mystery and feel free to challenge Erika by solving it before she does, but this is probably meaningless for you.

Nihao Honey Year 2

By Sage Genesis

Once upon a time...
There was Weapons of the Gods, an RPG about wuxia set in a fantasy China. And a young man who called himself Belphanior used that game to run "Nihao Honey", a campaign set in modern times, blending wuxia, shounen anime and The Rule Of Cool all into one package. That game was so successful that those who read it prompted him to run a secondary Nihao Honey game online, set in the same world, but with different people. And they made their own spin-offs. And it was good.
Eventually those games stopped, as they so often do. But their memory lingered on. They helped the young man get a job as RPG writer. And he made Legends of the Wulin (well... with a bit of help from his friends of course).
"Let us take this new game," he said to his players, "And pick up where we left off."
And his players looked him in the eye. And they said to him, "Let's rock."
Recommended by Garlak.
Another great campaign to read through, is a Legends of the Wulin game set in modern times called "Nihao Honey year 2." It's another hilarious read -- but what I found most notable was the NPCs, who all felt very alive. The DM said that he "treats all his NPCs as precious children" and gives them all a backstory, goal, motivations, etc, which is why they feel so real and so alive.
Oh, and... The guy who's running that game, and writing the campaign? He's the creator of the Legends of the Wulin system! He started recording and telling that game to sorta raise interest in Legends of the Wulin, and also just because, I guess.
Read. It. I prefer Nihao Honey year 2 as a story, though both writers have an entertaining writing style.
