Fan Fiction Recommendations

Something in the title looks wrong. Reccomendations? Recomendations? Recomandacion? 

I think I'll leave it how it is. So I'll  regularly post my favorite fan fics for those of you interested in a bit of pony related reading. 

When I come across a definitely don't read I'll post that too and hopefully you'll take my word for it and not put yourself through the same experience (some of them can be quite bad). 

First off, a few classics of pony fiction. 

"My Little Dashie" by ROBcakeran53. Any list of Brony Literature would be uncomplete without this story. More than any other fiction I've read it sums up what it means to be a brony. It's really sad, in a good way, and it will probably make you cry.

"The Rainbow Factory" by AuroraDawn. I heard the WoodenToaster remix before I even heard of the fan fiction, but it did not disappoint. 
Warning: This story is not for the faint of heart. It is grimdark as hay, it contains intense life and death scenarios, lots of gore, and cursing. 
What really made me love this story, however, was the ending. Half of writing a story is honing in on the message you want it to carry, and when it comes to a story being remembered it's all up to that last line. Read at your own risk.

"Somewhere Only We Know" by PatchworkPoltergeist. So this one doesn't quite count as a classic...yet. It's definitely getting there and it sure deserves it. This is a sad story but not in the overt way that "My Little Dashie" is, it's a more covert, makes you think about life kind of sadness. It's hard to explain. Read it. 

And then there's the classic you don't wanna read.

"Cupcakes" Just don't read it. It will ruin your life.

All that said, get yourself a great Luna wallpaper.
