TheVulpineHero1's "Life Gives You Apples"
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7728435/1/Life_Gives_You_Apples

Synopsis: Another experimental pony drabble collection, this one for Apple/Dash shipping. Short and sweet. R & R please, and all advice welcome.

Y'all, if I am recommending some AppleDash to you, you know it is good stuff. And it is. Each drabble is quite short but also quite lovely. Both Dash and AJ remain perfectly in character, and there's some really great exploration of what draws these two strong-headed ponies towards one another. Really, I believe all of TheVulpineHero1's stuff is criminally under-reviewed.

Determamfidd's "It Takes a Village"

Synopsis: Spike only wants things to stay the same. Time, however, has other ideas. He's going to need a lot of help ... an Everypony Story.

On the off chance that there is a single soul in the fandom who has not yet read this ... please, please do. It's possibly the very best MLP story that's ever been written. I love how perfect the characterizations and the dialogue are, and how the story expertly blends its heavy, dramatic elements with moments of comedy and light-heartedness. In particular, I think there are different kinds of "in character"--such as the characters feeling true to themselves but perhaps being a more mature or grittier or more emotionally developed form of "in character"--and, in this story, the characters are all very much in-show "in character." No mean feat to pull off.

Plus, Applejack and Rainbow Dash get smashed at the Grand Galloping Gala, and it's pretty amazing.

Sev's "Synchronicity"
http://www.fimfiction.net/story/4773/Synchronicity

Synopsis: Twilight's slight miscalculation with the elements of harmony land her and Rarity in a telepathic funk. But when Princess Celestia goes missing, it looks like having a window into each others minds is going to be the least of their problems. The mane six will find themselves everywhere from Equestria's capital to the home of the Sea Ponies to a battle on the ocean for the fate of the world in this long, ongoing adventure with more innuendo than you can shake your plot at.

This is quite the epic adventure. There are kidnappings and telepathy and scandalous revelations, and PINKIE PIE BECOMES A PIRATE. Each chapter is like being punched in the face by a fist of adrenaline and awesome. Check it out.
