Really a big fan of Fallout: Equestria myself been hooked on that fic for weeks. anyway new recommendations.

<a href='http://www.equestriadaily.com/2011/03/story-opener-of-ways.html' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>Opener of Ways</a> - an interesting in universe take of Fourth wall presence and an all around enjoyable read.

<a href='http://fav.me/d3dp7du' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>Big Mac's Strange day</a> - This story falls as an intermission of sorts to the authors fic-verse but makes for a very enjoyable oneshot in it's own right.

<a href='http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7080250/1/Its_Always_Sunny_in_Fillydelphia' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>It's Always Sunny in Fillydelphia</a> - Applejack x Soarin'. I normally don't get into ship fics in my little pony but this has such a great flow of events and great Rainbowdash-AJ banter that I can't help but recommend it.

It's a Dangerous Business, Going Out Your Door is very good. It stars Applejack, Rainbow Dash, and Rarity as they go on a quest to find a cure for dying Twilight. If you have a blinding hatred for any of those three this may not be the story for you (the rest of the cast doesn't show up much) but I really like it. The story has some fantastic world building with a healthy scoop of Tolkien. All three main (or mane if you prefer) characters get plenty of development and the story keeps moving forward (being built around the classic 'quest' archetype makes this very easy).

On the down sides, the author occasionally makes the story jump through hoops to explain why it goes in the direction it does (e.g. there are often much similar solutions of the problems the character face but the author has the characters discuss and discount them for a range of reasons, sometimes good sometimes contrived). There is also a bit of thematic friction in the story, with 'magical circuits' (how unicorn magic works in this story) existing alongside and sometimes merged with more magical sorts of magic. I found this grating at times and wish the author would just pick one of the other.

This is the official summary.
When an accident leaves Twilight Sparkle seriously ill, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, and Rarity must undertake a perilous journey to find her a cure.? What adventures await them beyond Equestria's borders?

<a href='http://www.equestriadaily.com/2011/05/story-perils-of-past.html' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>Perils of the Past</a> - By Somber

Description: A thousand years ago Princess Celestia sealed away Nightmare Moon using the Elements of Harmony. Now the Cutie Mark Crusaders will awaken a threat imprisoned for all that time, and all of Equestria will learn which is greater: The Elements of Harmony or the Elements of Discord.

An excellent fic often overlooked due to the slow start in chapter one. But it rapidly escalates into something memorable and intense without loosing characterization to said intensity and updated pretty much once every week or 2.

Fallout Equestria is up to chapter 31.

Edit: my only complaint is that Equestria Daily uses Google Documents, which lags the my computer quite a bit if I open up multiple chapters of any story. Really, I couldn't care less whether or not other people are reading the same document. <_<

Bridle Black by Nugar.

When Twilight Sparkle suggested they all go see the new racy movie that just came out of Canterlot, Dash was all for it. Now she and her friends have to sit through a horror movie that also has kissing and hugging and all kinds of weird stuff.

It's a crossover with Code Geass. In an attempt to takeover the world, and because she doesn't like hairless apes, Luna's evil half turns everyone into ponies.

Jupiter is not heavy and she resents that. Just because she can cook well does not make her fat.

Uranus on the other hand... well if you like cushion, more power to you.

I currently reccomend Past Sins.

I, sadly, cannot agree. Nyx's characterization comes at the expense of other characters (Celestia/Luna) rather than give Nyx any flaws, the author chose to hand the idiot ball to established characters.

I will, however, second both Progress and Fallout: Equestria.

That's been what I've been wondering too - there has to be at least one crossover between MGLN and FiM out there. I'd LOVE to read Twilight's reports on friendship after meeting Nanoha.

Dear Princess Celestia,

I learned today that sometimes the best way of making new friends is the application of overwhelming magical force.

Your faithful student,
Twilight Sparkle.
Luna looked over at Celestia. "Do you think we should be worried?"

"Yes. Yes we should."

<a href='http://www.equestriadaily.com/2011/06/story-world-of-ponycraft.html' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>World of Ponycraft</a> is complete at Chapter 12, though from what I gather at the end notes, the writer seems to indicate that side stories and a sequel might be in the planning stages.

<a href='http://www.equestriadaily.com/2011/06/story-silent-ponyville.html' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>Silent Ponyville</a> was surprisingly good. Best of all, while there is a rather prominent antagonist, it is NOT Pyramid Head. Despite the image, though, Fluttershy is not in the story.

Plus, for fans of multiple endings, this one has SIX. Two are rather short.
