Howdy folks. New pony here. Looking for recs.

What I am looking for:

* Pieces that comment on the show in some meaningful way. Explaining inconsistencies or backstories is a plus, as is exploring character reactions and motivations
* Genreshifts in which characters' personalities are translated accurately onto novel situations or plots
* Deconstruction that avoids grimdark
* Tasteful, clop-free shipping that is believable in canon
* Twilight, Pinkie Pie, Celestia, Spike, Big Mac, Chrysalis, Cadence, and Discord
* Changeling fic in genreal

What I am not looking for:

* grimdark (unless it ends in hope and doesn't involve mane sixers being the source of grimdark)
* clop/pron/explicitness
* dramatic personality shifts for their own sake (deconstruction or an in-universe explanation might be ok)
* Rainbow Dash
* Conversion Bureau fic of any kind. Sorry. It's a great idea, but I'm just not comfortable with any work of fiction that suggests humanity is inherently bad.

I don't expect anyone to come out and give me reccs, especially given how little I've done on here and how I hav eno fics for anyone to be subscribed to. But I hate having an empty userpage, so I figured I would ask.

You could start with the top rated stories (hover on "Browse" and then click on the "Top Rated Stories" on the right) or look at the favorite galleries of other users. If you like fics about changelings, you could try for example Smoke and Mirrors.

(Also, not all TCB stories suggest that Humanity is inherently bad. That's what annoying me most of the time, too, but I have found a few that aren't so misanthropic, and listed them on my user page.)
