Alright, guys. I need it. I need a really great cry right now. What's the saddest fic you know of? Which is the one that you have started bawling your eyes out over?

I'm not sure what this group thinks about advertising our own stories, but I have been told that this story of mine is a real tearjerker:

TWings on the Horizon

• MLP: FiM
• Sad
• Slice of Life

The water has always soothed me. The sounds of waves always makes me feel calm, makes me forget my sadness for just a moment. I never realized what the ocean had in store for me.

• Human
• Fluttershy

Lots of Scampy's stories are deliciously sad. Here's one of my favorites off the top of my head.

TLast Light

• Equestria Girls
• Dark
• Sad

Sunset Shimmer has fallen into a self-destructive spiral since her friends left her, and she attempts to end her life. While unconscious, she is confronted by Princess Luna. They have much to discuss, whether Sunset likes it or not.

• Suicide / Self Harm
• Twilight
• Luna
• Sunset Shimmer
• Main 7 (EqG)

it had the nerve to make me experience something you twats call “the feels,” but a nice enthusiastic walk in the woods solved that problem. ~ DR_LaZer

made me cry… ~ deli73

I cried. I didn't shed one tear, but a thousand. ~ Crystal_Chaos

Great story, definitely deserves the tragedy tag. ~ MustacheMerlin

It worked for other readers, maybe it can also work for you:

TPrincess of Friendship

Wait, we're self nominating?

I can do that:

Here’s another one that came to mind. My FIMFiction jutsu is weak so have a link instead of the title card- I don’t know how to do that.

If we’re allowed to self-promo per someone asking a question:

EI Hear the Stars

• MLP: FiM
• MLP: Movie

It can be said that what Tempest’s old friends did was cruel. Contemplating everything, Tempest is left wondering if she’s really any better, and if it’s time to return home.

• Other
• Tempest Shadow
• Grubber

It's probably Estee's best story, in part because the protagonist is simultaneously so unsympathetic and yet we don't want to see them get hurt.
