Deus Ex: Equine Revolution [4] by Melon Hunter
- Recommended by Valikdu
- Synopsis: "The world is in flux; new ideals, groups and technologies permeate every level of society in this age of discovery. The field of augmentation has allowed ponies to improve themselves in ways that were unthinkable a generation ago. Yet, for every benefit, there is an inverse. A griffon civil war rages on the borders, feeding the profits of mercenary companies. Rising populations have forced the rich and poor ever further apart. Harmony is dying.
- Mortally wounded after a fatal attack on her laboratory, an earth pony researcher is augmented against her will and sent out into a chaotic world in search of answers. But as her quest unravels this chain of events, she discovers an ancient conspiracy that will shake Equestria to its very core."
- Comment: A masterful fusion of the two franchises, with the level of quality akin to that of Fallout: Equestria. While not as different from its game's plot as Fo E, it deviates enough to not make the story predictable for those readers who beat the game.
- Pairings: Bon bon/Lyra, filling in for Adam and Megan, respectively.

Doctor Whooves Episode 1: Time Lords and Terror [7] by Hephestus

Total Magic Pony Island by Tailslover13
- Recommended by Chargin Chuck
- Synopsis: Discord is once again loose, but after using his randomness to find some interesting information on some strange phenomenon in another world that has to do with an island and a bunch of humiliating events, the crazy spirit of disharmony and chaos comes up with a new, sick, twisted, disturbing plan that involves capturing 20 of the most popular ponies (and three non-ponies) and forcing them to play a new game while the rest of Equestria watches in horror (or most likely secret amusement and possibly envy of not being picked themselves). What does the rotten host Discord have in mind for our 20 unfortunate selections? Well, looks like you'll have to wait and find out! Maybe, just maybe, if Discord is feeling generous, the winner of his new "game" will get a grand prize. Everyone pick a character to root for and let's get it on!
- Recommended by Kytseo, Redhead 64, El_bruno
- Synopsis: The story goes that Rainbow Dash, the best flier in Equestra, was accused of murdering one of her competition in an upcoming race called the Equestria 500 (with the punishment being that she's banished to either the moon or the sun if found guilty). Her friend (and protagonist of FiM) Twilight Sparkle summons the best defense attorney in the universe (accidentally, initially wanting to summon the best in Equestria), said attorney happens to be Phoenix Wright. All that said, Nick attempts to adjust to temporarily living in Equestria while searching for the truth behind that murder (with Twilight as his resident Maya stand-in).
- Comments: Judging from the first of the four planned episodes, it looks to be shaping up to be a pretty good crossover. From first impressions, I highly recommend it to Ace Attorney fans, bronies\pegasisters, and everyone inbetween.
- El_bruno seconding the recomendation. Even if you're into one but not the other of the series involved you can still enjoy this crossover. Ace Attorney only fans will be happy to see that Nick's personality and reactions are what you'd expect from his home series, the same going to the dialogue and how the story unfolds. While bronies will enjoy that all their characters so far have been very faithful to their actual characterization, and are also be given the opportunity to see the them in a more serious story, but without going to extremes.
World of Ponycraft by Cap'n Chryssalid
- Recommended by Salvls and Whitebeardyamamoto.
- Type: Crossover- Complete.
- Synopsis: What could be more awesome than WOW?. Why, ponies of course. A recent finished work that tell the journey of the Mane cast to a new, exciting (and absurdly dangerous) world when the awakening of Deathwhing brakes the seal separating Azeroth from Equestria. Be warned: This is not a crossover with Word of Warcraft the work, this is a crossover between World Of Warcraft the MMORPG... yeah, just like it sound.

- Synopsis: Doctor Who crossover fic. During an otherwise normal day of exploring the Ponyverse, the Doctor (recently turned into a pony himself) returns to find Discord playing around inside the TARDIS. You can guess what happens next.
- Written pretty much so that Discord and the Doctor can meet, interact and out-xanatos eachother, it seems, but features solid ideas and a few wicked twists.

Disgaea: Disharmony of Friendship
- Recommended by Kytseo
- Synopsis: A crossover between MLP and Disgaea, Disgaea: Disharmony of Friendship starts Twilight as the typical Disgaea protagonist, a Chaotic Neutral (though claims to be evil) Anti-Hero of a demon who goes on a journey that starts off as a path of villainy, but eventually turns her good by the end {{[[[It Was His Sled]] like in the case of}} Laharl and Mao (though she'll inevitably nullify her Character Development for the sake of lols in cameos, but I digress)]. The typical Trollestia interpretation for Princess Celestia (now Overlord Celestia) being properly altered and made into that of a kind and generous ruler. That said, Twilight doesn't approve, and journeys with her growing party in order to create their own alicorn superweapon they can use to dethrone Celestia and rule the netherworld in secret. All that said, hilarity ensues.

Of the Time Before by Clockworkchaos

- Synopsis: Dr. Ivo Robotnik, utterly tired of his constant battles with Sonic, decides to just give up and live out the rest of his life in a retirement of quiet solitude. When he finds himself in Equestria... Well, spoilers abound.
- Yes, I know, it's a Sonic crossover, but it truly is a beautiful story. It's more of a villain-redemption story, and isn't at all what you would expect.
- Ace Of Scarabs: Put any misgivings you have about the Fan Dumb around Sonic and just read it. It tells of the rebirth of the Doctor into a better being, released from the madness of a life spent in pursuit of total domination.

Ponies One Half by Emma Iveli

Given the delicacy of the matter, it is feared that, if all precautionary steps are not carefully taken, a farce may ensue." In other words: My Little Pony meets (a very thinly disguised) Jeeves and Wooster.

Not the Afterlife I Signed Up For by inoeitall
- Recommended by Dynamic Dragon
- Synopsis: Usually when you are killed, you die. Of course there are exceptions to every rule. Usually those exceptions don't end up in a world full of colorful talking ponies with 3 other people from random points of Earth's history, but hey, I can't complain too much.

The Dresden Fillies by psychicscubadiver
- Reccomended by Peteman, 7grayjay7, omegaman
- Synopsis: Narrowly escaping from the Nevernever to a realm that does not involve getting eaten by a hundred demon monkeys, Harry Dresden finds himself in a cutesy Sugar Bowl that is is rife with environmental magic. He reacts to the situation about as much as you can expect (namely, by actively suppressing the urge to pick up the adorable locals and squeeze them like some manic five-year old girl). And the local population is not exactly sure what to make of this giant, bipedal creature that claims to be from another world, and by any accounts, is probably one of the most dangerous creatures they'll ever meet.

- Note: Unlike most My Little Pony crossovers, as the author puts it, "No species transformations will happen, as that would be too confusing for both the ponies who really are ponies, and those who'd get transformed.". Also, there may be 'notes' similar to those seen in the Starcraft games which might interfere with the story flow. The alternate link has further progress, but the main link has added stuff not seen in the alternate.

- Synopsis: After a spell gone awry, Twilight Sparkle comes face to face with three very special people: the Eds! What fate befalls our three Eds in Equestria, and can the Elements of Harmony possibly cope with the Masters of Discord themselves?
- Note: Judging by the publish date, it seems to take place before Season 2 of Friendship Is Magic, so the author probably didn't mean any reference to the villain Discord.

Having him hidden in her small townhouse isn't easy; keeping him from setting things on fire, teaching him that not every cart that passes by is cause for alarm, and that blue ponies are not something to be suspicious of.

Zim Invades Equestria by Steeve Lee II
- Recommended by G0vnah, G 0 vnah
- Synopsis: What will happen when everyone's least favorite Invader stumbles into the world of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic? Horrible things. Horribly funny things. It's only a plot outline, but might as well be a fanfic, with how it reads. It does switch tense occasionally, but aside from that it's not a bad fic outline. Worth a read.

- Recommended by Rider
- Synopsis: Taken from the Website: "AU. Dusk Shine is the apprentice to the Shogun of Equestria. When an ancient evil threatens to return, Dusk must gather the only thing that can stop it: The Elements of Bushido. Now Dusk begins a quest that will bring him together with five other ponies. Their journey will bond them together as brothers in arms for the rest of their lives. Their adventures will make them ... the stuff of legends.... First in a Saga."
- Comments: A fanfic that takes place in an Equestria with a hyper modern (and in some cases futuristic) amount of tech where ponies can switch between a normal pony form and an anthro form. Equestria is a shogunate ruled, as the name implies, by a Shogun, a male version of Luna called Lunaris. His ward Dusk Shine must unite a group of ponies who will come to be called the Elements of Bushido to stop an oncoming evil. Humans, though not yet seen, exist in this world as well due to an event called "The Great Merger". The central protagonist, Dusk Shine, and his compatriots all appear to be trained in the martial arts and have thus far, been referred to as young Samurai or as Samurai in training. Appears to be an outright strange take on the pilot episode in some respects. The fic is currently on-going. So far three AU counterparts of the girls have been seen: Dusk Shine, Flash, and Ash Jade. (Counterparts to Twilight, Rarity, and Applejack, respectively, though according to Word of God, they are not necessarily genderflipped versions of the characters, but rather different ponies living lives that the Mane Six might have lived in different circumstances) Ash seems to break the currently established rules of the world the fic takes place in due to the fact that He's a Gunblader. However, this might fall in line with the tech that seems to exist in the world of the fic.
