Title. Making this thread 'cause I need some happy stuff to cleanse my palate. Share those fics you've absolutely loved, either you read and loved or wrote and are really proud of.

I think one of my more preferred non-AU ones is Who We Choose to Be (I think that’s what it’s called. It also has a sequel). Although Tirek doesn’t exactly have a complete story, it’s still very good. For AU-Fix-fics, yours is definitely up there. Of course, there are definitely other fix-fics that I like (even though I don't read anymore).

I’ll also bring up The Dawn of a New Mission (written by me). It’s far from Equestria Daily, but it’s my first successful story and my second best one overall. Probably my favorite story I’ve written (though not my favorite fix-fic).

I'll have to check them all out. Thank you!

That depends. Do you want fix that alter the finale or ones that act as sequels?

Either, honestly. Rewrites and sequels are both good.
Bonus points if there's Sombra.

If you want something cute and more upbeat, there's this and its sequels, although given there popularity, you probably read them before:

This story is shockingly good given its premise. Very solid:

This is a nice sequel/rewrite-ish fic that takes place in the future after the trio and Sombra are reformed after being sent to Tartarus instead of getting killed and stoned:

Here's a fic I find underrated. It basically has the trio and Tempest basically become ghost busters (no crossover) after the finale It even gives Sombra a good ending later on :

This one doesn't have a lot of chapters yet, but what's already there is really solid. The recent chapter did a great job with Chrysalis in particular:

These fics are really good sequels, but they only feature Cozy and nothing much from the other finale antagonists, if you don't mind that:

I hesitate to suggest this one as it is quite dark, but it is very well-written. Just don't go in expecting it to cheer you up or anything:

Keep in mind that I just skimmed through my favorites folder to find these, so I'm probably missing some good ones.

Thank you! I've read some, but by no means all of these.

My favorites are of course ones that involve the villain trio, Chrysalis, Tirek & Cozy Glow<33

The found family trope works so well for them

And the chapter sequel of their life together<3
https://www.fimfiction.net/story/455529/scenes-from-a-life-post-villainy

They win but still miss each other even through a rising rebellion, YAAS PERFECT

One of the first I read about them and loved it. Cozy goes a bit far and much here but I honestly liked how well Tirek and Chrysalis' friendship played out.

Not really a fixfic, but rather more angst for the villains/story. But honestly, so well written, so in-character, morally conflicted on either side (the comment in a debating minefield), but so solid and amazing.
