Add your own in the comments! Bonus points if it's something I'd want to read.
I'd read the first and last, for what that's worth.

The last one was specifically for you.
The Unexpected Zombie Survival Life of Dusk Shine
976194
Are you sure that wasn't more for Vim?
You have me crying with laughter with "In Memory Of Those We Left Behind: Twilight forgets about that time her mom died."
976285
Quite sure. If I were doing one for Vim, it would be The Last Distorted Perspective in Tartarus, in which Twilight Sparkle struggles to find a scrap of goodness in a blighted hellscape where ponies must labor for the right to keep their prosthetic, shall we say, parts. Such a thing would be hideously tasteless, of course, so it's a good thing I'm not doing that.
976355
That one made me feel like a terrible human being, which is usually a sign I'm onto something good.
Luna's LoveSick Tour - With odd ideas of proper Royal behavior, Luna visits the Elements of Harmony - and gets a little clingy.
I would totally read almost all of these.
Actually, in the post-apocalyptic one.. Does anyone know if there ever was a sidefic to FOE which went into greater detail about the Princesses?
Field Notes on Interior Design Alicorn Behavior: Twilight Sparkle x Dark Demon King Ravenblood Nightblade OTP!
Myou've Gotta be a Xenophile: Rationalist in cow body falls in lust with a HiE.
The Games We Play In Hell: Somepony is dressing up like Mare Do Well to flirt with Dash and it turns out to be Satan...
Princess Celestia Hates Watching Paint Dry.
...Why can't we put blog posts in our Favorites?
The Somewhere Cycle Only We Know
This is something I would read!
How about It's Always Thicker Than Friendship: Despondent after a bad breakup, Applejack gains a lot of weight. Her self-esteem plummets until she meets Soarin, a handsome stallion who takes an interest in her and is also a vampire and I can't finish this sentence without lapsing into a Twilight crossover.
Cupcake Factory
A war of grimdark escalation consumes Ponyville and Cloudsdale. Somewhat literally.
Contraptionology's a Dangerous Business
A plague of mad science turns Ponyville into a nightmarish techno-dystopia. Applejack narrates as she, Rarity, and Rainbow Dash travel through distant lands, seeking a cure to the insanity.
3x Crossover Combo: Harpflank and Sweets: Anthrodacity
Lyra is a human-turned-unicorn sent to a universe not her own by fickle fate.
Bonbon is a love-consuming creature of Faerie trying to live a normal pony life.
They fight crime!
My Harshwhinnial Earns The Feature Box
A meditation upon writing a heretical fiction whose popularity caused Benman's head to explode.
The Best Hard Reset Ever
Just when Blueblood gets the time loop thing figured out, the Grand Galloping Gala gets attacked by changelings and the Elements of Harmony explode.
Changelings, Changelings, Happily Ever After
Shining Armor will fall in love with anything to save his marriage. Anything.
977676 beat me to "Cupcake Factory." *shakes hoof*
And a movie crossover:
Sunny Skies All Day Long of the Spotless Mind
After Celestia's incognito visit to Ponyville leads to a regrettable fling with her most faithful student, the heartbreak causes her to erase her memories of the experience.

> That one made me feel like a terrible human being, which is usually a sign I'm onto something good.
Careful, man, I think I'm getting to you. Give in to your nemesis too early and it takes all the challenge out of it.

Because then I would spend more time on things like this and then it would be even longer before I finish Mortal and then horizon would be totally justified in tracking me down and going the full Annie Wilkes. I'm flattered, but I'd like to keep all my extremities.
977360
You win the "I would actually read that" award.
978431
Pffff. I was a terrible human being before it was cool.
978626
Ooh, here's an idea:
The First Week of Harmony: Twilight and company are sent to find out what happened to a researcher lost in the far frozen north of Equestria, only to find themselves in a subarctic city populated by pony cultists twisted by the dark powers they gain from the eldritch beings they worship, and being hunted down by a creature that can impersonate them, but gives itself away via lapsing into Objectivist philosophizing.
Ooh, ooh, best one yet!
White Chaos: My name is Worker. I remember it because I wrote it inside the white egg. It takes twelve steps to get from Mobius to Equestria. And the hedgehog hurts my eyes.
Title is close to something that already exists. Considering it is also about the Equestria Civil Service, I wonder if that's deliberate?http://www.fimfiction.net/story/54117/whom-the-princesses-would-destroy
Wait, wait... Nevermind. I get it. I"m an idiot.
On another note the "strikethrough" tags don't seem to work... And I refuse to delete my idiocy...
OH MY GOD WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU.
Background Pony Watches Paint Dry: Lyra Heartstrings doesn't know who she is and suffers existential crises while doing mundane things.
OH MY GOD WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH ME.
979293
Dance Till We Go to Hell: Tuxedo Dash and Sailor Sparkle must fight their way out of the Negaverse while their friends believe they perished.
Things Rainbow Dash Doesn't Kill: Dash fucking loves spiders.
978423
Butterscotch Sundae's Much Ahoof About Nothing did that already.
977676
Yeah you win everything.
My Little Murky: An account of an event that makes being born into slavery sound almost nice, with each plot development repeated in every other chapter to Murky's human charge.
Thicker than Melting Snow and Wet Dreams: Luna's trying to find out why her fanfiction is the subject of her subject's dream, and more importantly: why are there two stallions casting themselves as characters from Buffy therein?
Anthropology: Lyra discovers she's a human and travels to Earth, but becomes confused when she finds that in this new world no one can seem to remember her for more than five minutes.
979383
"A Background in Anthropology..."
Half The Day Is Nightmare Night -- After Princess Celestia goes on vacation, ghoulish alternate-universe versions of the Mane Six discover a plot to undermine Princess Luna's authority. Adventure, romance, and buckets of fake blood everywhere ensue.
Luna's Traveling Tutor -- Dorky, awkward magic tutor Green Grass visits Canterlot and falls for Princess Luna; Twilight is upset at being left out of a story that's clearly supposed to feature herself as the vertex of a love triangle. Based on a series of Fifteen Minute Pony prompts.
The Flight of This Platinum Alicorn -- Rarity accidentally schedules two badass epic adventures for the same day.
Background Ponyses: Lyra crawls around all over the walls and ceiling, and even has sex with Big Mac, but no one seems to remember.
The Best Brony Hero Ever: A human fan of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic thinks he was sucked into Equestria and is re-living the same day over and over again, however he's actually just trapped in a dead-end job while living in his mother's basement but is incapable of admitting it to himself.
Pinkie Pie's Incredible Interplanetary Super Cough: Six ponies locked together in a room, for fear of a terribly contagious respiratory disease spreading through Equestria. In the darkness, one pony coughs. Particularly noteworthy because just reading this story also infects you with the disease.
The Antipodes of a Winning Pony -- In a far-future Equestria where Celestia and Luna have vanished and the sun and moon hang motionless in the sky, Cloud Kicker has sex with every pony she meets.
979947
Dear god no. She's already infecting so many stories being written, now she can infect ones that existed before she was "relevant"?
Oooh, fun times! Let's see...
Sunny Skies Doesn't Potty: Princess Celestia attempts to live as a normal pony amongst her subjects, but she arouses suspicion when they notice that she never uses the bathroom.
Why are you posting and not writing?
Specifically the WWATPWD civil service one. Hell, just rewrite WWA to make the central conflict not wanting to pay the 5% non-equine income tax (yay pony racism!)
That last is also hilarious. Especially if Twilight has been replaced by Discord.
979352
Background Pony Watches Paint Dry
I laughed so much.
And thank you. :D I hate to use my own fics, but I can't get this out of my head:
The Spiderses of Awesomery:: Pinkie Pie writes a nigh-unreadable fanfic about her and her friends being turned into spiders and going off on a ridiculous quest to save the world (and have spider sex).
On A Cross And An Arrow And A Pair Of Hands -- Andrea Shepard falls into Equestria, makes out with Dusk Shine and Butterscotch.
Royal Boasts, Busted Rainbooms -- AU. A millennium ago, Princess Celestia went mad with power, and Princess Luna was forced to lock her in the sun. Now, Luna's student Rainbow Dash must travel to Ponyville and-- wait, that doesn't work. Now, Luna's student Lyra Heartstrings-- no, not that either. Luna's student Raindrops? Okay, I think I'm going to have to get back to you on this one.
The AppleDash RainbowLight FlutterPie RariJack Pony Combinatorics Permutation Project -- WARNING: FIFTEEN SECONDS UNTIL CRITICAL SHIPPING OVERLOAD
This is my next early morning drunken write topic, FYI.
TAW christened the idea "Who We Owe"
Twilight's List
Where instead of Dash, she chose Applejack.
982773
She set them up on a date with each other as a tie breaker. Suddenly AppleDash.
983081
I could totally get into this. And then she's left alone as they fall for each other, leaving her to weep in the arms of
983107
Dear Princess Celestia,
Today I learned that if you want to be lesbians with somepony, don't get them to be lesbians with somepony else first to see how they do.
Yours,
Twilight Dumbass
PS: At least I kind of know what Applejack tastes like now.
PPS: By the way, the taxes on alcohol are way high.

LOOK WHAT YOU MADE ME DO
983728
You're welcome. :3
982773
Still the wrong pony!
Seriously, with that setup, Twilight's List should totally be a Twinkie fic. Twilight's got a zany shenanigan she needs help pulling, and Pinkie is the expert on zany shenanigans.
984565
That's fine with me actually! That allows for AppleDash to exist!
And TwiPie is adorable too~
Who We Are, The Princesses Would Destroy: One of the main six is a changeling, but it doesn't matter who—any result will mean massive headaches for the civil service.
I want to see this written so much. Princess Celestia Hates The Feature Box also sounds good, because any outcome where Skywriter is laughing has to be a good thing.
Right?
Right?
Of course it's a good thing, I don't know why I was questioning it.
979498 The Flight of This Platinum Alicorn - I would read this so hard.
979333 987543 980083
I come bearing gifts.
I was telling GhostOfHeraclitus about these tonight, and he did that thing he does. Spontaneous story fragment generation. So here, for your reading pleasure, is GhostOfHeraclitus's ending to "Who We Are, The Princesses Would Destroy":
1149284 *snort* That's hilarious.
1149284
A little Features Plane of Dialogue, but quite promising for a fragment. Now if only the actual story would be written... Maybe someday.
1149284
I lolled. Very Pratchettesaque. I hope my phone doesn't mangle that too bad.
1149359
Thank you kindly.
1149459
I made kits lol! My day is made almost before it started!
You will, however, need to kill your phone. Pour encourager les autres.
1149402
Hey! Give me a break Causal, I was writing it in a chat window, fer Celestia's sake!
1149284
"The thing I do?"
Thanks for posting that, by the by.
