Crossover
Fallout: Equestria by Kkat - Rated M
 * Fallout/My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic
 * Warnings: Violence, bad language, frightening imagery, sexual imagery, GRIMDARKNESS
 * Summary: Fallout. With ponies! Set in an alternate future, one pony must learn to survive in a blasted, poisoned land... and possibly, with the aid of friends made along the way, bring new light into the darkness of post-apocalyptic Equestria.
 * Reason I Like It: Fallout and My Little Pony. Somehow, perhaps through some secret demonic pact, it works. It's dramatic and freaky and awesome, if a bit tiresome to wade through at times. Fair warning: this is primarily a Fallout story, so this is a crapsack world of the highest order. That MLP 'hope and friendship' feeling is still there, but just like in Fallout it is buried under a lot of alarming stuff. Another fair warning: the mane six are only bit characters, referenced through flashbacks and bits of backstory. The action is handled by a cast of OCs with the occasional series cameo. Don't worry, these are good and interesting OCs.

Kim Possible
Maslow by Ninnik Nishukan - Rated T
 * Complete
 * Warnings: Bad language, mature situations
 * Summary: What do you NEED? Different aspects of Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs applied to Drakken and Shego's daily lives in no particular order. Add a spoonful of uncomfortable silences, and we're good to go. Drakken/Shego.
 * Reason I Like It: I liked Kim Possible while it was airing, but I always felt that the writers dropped the ball with the last second crowbaring-in of the relationship upgrade between Doctor Drakken and Shego. This story fills in the gaps quite well, showing the gradual evolution of their relationship over the course of a season or two.

Kingdom Hearts
Those Lacking Spines by Organization VI - Rated T
 * Complete
 * Warnings: Suggestive imagery, bad language
 * Summary: Immune to a suspicious parasite by merit of their manly looks, Xaldin, Vexen and Lexaeus set out on a journey to save the rest of Organization XIII from the biggest nightmare of all: stupid fanfiction.
 * Reason I Like It: This is one of the best deconstructions of fanfiction I've ever read. Sure, it gets a bit ranty at times, but it's smart, meta as all get out, and has a wicked sense of humor. This is parody written out of a love of fanfiction, not out of hate, and it shows.

My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic
The Melting Pot by Katalus Talrius - Rated T Ponies Discover /co/ by Slywit - Rated M
 * Complete
 * Summary: Ponyville would be so boring without your favorite six ponies (and Spike) there to spice things up, right? WRONG. It's like taking the blueberries out of a muffin; you've still got a delicious muffin, now it's just a different flavor.
 * Reason I Like It: Some pleasant and well-written shipping stories focusing almost entirely on side and background characters. It feels a bit rushed in places, but overall quite well done.
 * Complete
 * Warnings: Suggestive imagery, bad language, NSFW
 * Summary: The six mane ponies discover /co/ and end up being traumatized by what they see. To make matters worse, they are sent on a diplomatic trip/campout, all while they try to understand how the fandom perceives them.
 * Reason I Like It: The ponies are very in character, the writing is clever, and the fic is structured just like a MLP:FIM episode - complete with Twilight's final letter to Princess Celestia
